  1. Which one of their SP’s that’s not coming off shoulder surgery and projected for under 1.5 WAR is your favorite? Whichever one kicked our ass into the play-in game remember when theo admitted that the offense flat out broke, and we actually thought that meant changes/additions and not just a new hitting coach
  2. he is definitely reading this. he'll be back
  3. horsefeathers the brewers but also horsefeathers duke just kidding duke
  4. by pointing out a trivial mistake in my comparison? that's where you want to go with this? you are not being rational. you feel that people are treating trubisky unfairly, so you're willingly turning into a meatball by going way too far in the opposite direction. trivial? you're the one who suggested raw "owned" your ass. you offered the comparison you're not arguing anything in good faith, you're just looking for stupid little diversions to claim victory with. the mistake in the continuity of my dumb little joke comparison is not relevant to the argument.
  5. yeah, you totally owned my ass well, he actually did by pointing out a trivial mistake in my comparison? that's where you want to go with this? you are not being rational. you feel that people are treating trubisky unfairly, so you're willingly turning into a meatball by going way too far in the opposite direction.
  6. more accurately, he left the game with a lead after giving up 4 runs in 5 innings because the offense scored 6 So.....now it's not a quality start? I've lost sight of your point (as have you). yeah, you totally owned my ass
  7. More accurately, he left the game with the lead the bullpen blew it, then had the bases loaded with 0 outs in the bottom of the 9th and Parkey hit into a triple play. more accurately, he left the game with a lead after giving up 4 runs in 5 innings because the offense scored 6
  8. I'm not doing any of that, and you probably know much more about football than me. It's just that when you consider the cost of getting him in the first place I, dont see how you can say that he did enough in this game when they scored 15 points and lost. trubisky has nothing to do with the defense. he doesn't get the benefit of lower expectations just because they are going to keep the score down. hes not some cheap journeyman that allowed them to use resources elsewhere. Clearly I do know more then you. 1) the game plan want Mitches to design. 2) he didnt commit the PI on defense 3) the team has never asked him to kick FGs 4) I love the guy, but Miller has to jump on his own loose ball. Rookie mistake. But mitch doesn’t possess the ability to get down field to do that for him. I don’t know any QB who can. Mitch is the guy. Parkey needs to float the other way. i may not know as much about football, but apparently i know more about applying basic logic to sports. why are you talking about some random ass plays when we already know what they amounted to. they amounted to the opposition only scoring 16 points. i think the second year qb that was taken #2 overall shouldn't have had to rely on a kick at the end to score more than 16 points. again, i never even said he was bad. i just find it baffling to hear people say he did what they needed him to. if *that* is all they needed from the quarterback position, then why did they invest so heavily in it. like just sign jeff garcia or something
  9. guy got a quality start, that's all you can ask for
  10. the bears were a 12 win team facing a wild card team at home. if just getting into position for your terrible kicker to make a game winner at the buzzer is all that is being asked of him, I guess the question becomes why are the expectations so low What a stupid horsefeathering thing to say. That obviously wasn't the expectation at the beginning of the game. Given the situation (57 seconds and 1 timeout), that obviously became the expectation. Expectation was met. If the kicker met his, we wouldn't be having this conversation. you're literally saying that he met the expectation that became the expectation after the original expectation wasn't meant
  11. the bears were a 12 win team facing a wild card team at home. if just getting into position for your terrible kicker to make a game winner at the buzzer is all that is being asked of him, I guess the question becomes why are the expectations so low From 5 wins to facing the SB champions. But yes, thats all he needed to do, and giving the Miller gaf just before halftime, Mitch did more than enough. Sure, bail on Mitch. Ostracize Nagy, Pace and start over. Because Parkey is a cuddly teddy bear we all should love. I'm not doing any of that, and you probably know much more about football than me. It's just that when you consider the cost of getting him in the first place I, dont see how you can say that he did enough in this game when they scored 15 points and lost. trubisky has nothing to do with the defense. he doesn't get the benefit of lower expectations just because they are going to keep the score down. hes not some cheap journeyman that allowed them to use resources elsewhere.
  12. They needed him to put up more than 16 points and he didn't He did. He gave Parkey the kick. Twice. Parkey proved he could do it and he failed the bears were a 12 win team facing a wild card team at home. if just getting into position for your terrible kicker to make a game winner at the buzzer is all that is being asked of him, I guess the question becomes why are the expectations so low
  13. I'm sorry, but you guys are going to have to start putting some evidence with these statements. When was Mitch off target early (talking about legitimately missing passes) that prevented the team from scoring? I'm not at all claiming he was great. Just saying, he in no way prevented them from scoring more points as you and Goony are alluding to. Yuuuup. Mitch played fine and in the clutch, played the game we needed him to. They needed him to put up more than 16 points and he didn't
  14. it makes losing hurt less if you remember that this is a trash sport full of bad people Great, then move over to the baseball pages. i was just trying to cheer you up!
  15. What the hell does this mean? it makes losing hurt less if you remember that this is a trash sport full of bad people
  16. 2/3 of the bears roster probably hurts women so why even care really
  17. what a horsefeathering LOSER
  18. have fun answering for that all offseason, nagy
  19. time for big dick mitch
  20. it was late and to the head. it was pretty obvious
