  1. Lol, I've seen like 3 defensive holds or PIs go uncalled this game.
  2. For me, it has nothing to do with the Bears and everything to do with the Cubs winning the World Series. Really struggling to care about other sports again. But yeah, the Packers are going to the Super Bowl if they're going to play like this. Maybe the Patriots will stop them.
  3. the defensive player or the QB that might come out? I edited my post to clarify. The defensive player. Also, I'm assuming there's no chance Garrett falls to 3.
  4. Still all about Jonathan Allen. [tweet]https://twitter.com/robertzeglinski/status/818640972972167168[/tweet] (And sign Eric Berry.)
  5. Why? you didn't know he was a piece of horsefeathers? https://twitter.com/bclelandgt/status/818696590370058240 There's that (though nearly every coach opposes paying their players because they really don't care about their players and know they'd be getting paycuts). Then there's not even investigating his players being accused of calling opponents the n-word, defending those players and blaming the media: http://www.thestate.com/sports/college/acc/clemson-university/article117715613.html Then there's this: [tweet] [/tweet] (Also people need to quit pretending like the whitewashed version of MLK is accurate.) Also this is weird at a state school, though I'm guessing it's probably common throughout the Bible Belt: Oh yeah, he's a persecuted white Christian male in the South: Let's be honest, most colleges coaches are horrible people. But unlike Dabo, we can only assume that of most coaches.
  6. Real shame that Dabo got to win.
  7. I'm probably out. Expecting our first child in May and I don't think I'll have much time this summer. If it's too late notice, I can at last draft and stick around in April.
  8. And the Giants secondary on a Hail Mary.
  9. Aaron Rodgers went 0-for-4 in Bill Parcells' criteria. Heck... what QB in the NFL right now meet all 4? Russell Wilson? Some good QBs, apparently. Decided to look up a few guys at random and along with Wilson, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins and Dak Prescott met all 4. As redshirt juniors/academic seniors, I'd say Andrew Luck and Marcus Mariota fit the criteria too (they had the other 3). Tom Brady only went 2-for-4 and Jameis Winston went 1-for-4. When the top two QBs this decade go a combined 2-for-8 in this criteria, I'm not sure it should be used to prop up a guy in the top 3 who the so-called experts seem to think is a reach.
  10. On your 2nd part... Jets might move up to get their QB maybe? Then again.. if one of Garrett or Allen is available, I can see multiple teams calling, but not sure if they will offer enough for Bears to move down. I think we're in a great spot in the draft this year. I can't see Browns or 49ers moving so depending on which way the first 2 picks goes, the 3rd pick might be the spot where teams start calling to see if Bears will budge and after seeing Pace trade down a bunch in the 2nd last year, he'll move if the offer is right. Or we stay and get an elite talent. Watson is not a reach at #3, IMO. I feel he is the best QB in this draft, despite what the "experts" say. Bill Parcells has his criteria that all QBs must meet in order for his team to be interested (granted, it's a little outdated). 1. Must be a senior 2. Must be a graduate 3. Must be a 3-year starter 4. Must have 23 wins The only one Watson doesn't fit is a senior. He's also the only top QB who comes close to fitting any of these. As for #2, I think the Jets could trade up to 3. They did just take Petty and Hackenberg, but neither are the answer. They supposedly love Trubisky. Buffalo could trade up from 10. And the Browns, with their 2nd 1st rounder and 2 2nd round picks, could also trade back up and take the best QB in addition to drafting the best defensive player in the draft at #1 (Garrett). The Browns also supposedly love Trubisky. Aaron Rodgers went 0-for-4 in Bill Parcells' criteria.
  11. It's not related to Manuel's comp but midway through last season, BP or Fangraphs threw a Kris Bryant comp Eloy's way.
  12. BA doesn't include big league service time as a criteria for determining if someone is still a prospect. It's how Joe Mauer ended up their top prospect in all of baseball back in like 2002 while not being eligible for ROY.
  13. No thanks. Garoppolo plz we can punt til next year and draft sam darnold who is the lovechild of roethlisberger and favre Darnold and Rosen sure look more appealing than the top QBs in this year's draft. And Lamar Jackson sure is interesting.
  14. Cam Robinson is a top 10ish type guy, but has some character concerns. If McGlinchey comes out(to my knowledge he's still uncommitted), he's another guy that's top 10-15. But those are likely the only 2 1st Rounders. Depending on the status of his hip surgery, Ryan Ramczyk seems more well thought of than Cam Robinson. If he turned pro, Oklahoma's Orlando Brown looks like the only legit top ten offensive lineman.
  15. That was never confirmed. In fact, some bloggers with decent access to Cubs FO have denied that ever happened. That said, I wouldn't want them to trade him either. Unless it's for a player like Sale. Gleyber is probably more highly-regarded than Eloy and we actually traded him. Oh yeah. Gleyber was more highly regarded at the deadline and still is. Gleyber will probably be a unanimous top 5 prospect in baseball while Eloy should be a top 25 prospect on most lists. Obviously Gleyber was more superfluous so it made it easier to part with him.
  16. Great clock management, Harbaugh. :roll:
  17. If the Bears beat Minnesota, they could slide as far as the 6th pick.
  18. None are a top five pick though ??? Myles Garrett is easily the best player in the draft.

  20. Well, the Bears moved up to the #3 overall pick. Don't blow it next week.
  21. Barkley now at 7 TD, 11 interceptions this season.
  22. That interception into triple coverage was pretty sweet.
  23. [tweet] [/tweet] Lol
  24. Didn't realize the ghost of Chris Conte was playing safety for the Bears.
