  1. I put it on him for sure. He's gotta attack the ball better.
  2. Brady hasn’t faced the Bears a ton but when he has, annoying losses follow 2002 - Bears blow 28-3 lead 2006 - Rex throws 5 INTs, Brady jukes Urlacher for game winning 1st down 2010 - Pats blow out the Bears by like 35 points in a blizzard 2014 - Pats put up 50+ on the Bears. Disappointing FA signing Lamarr Houston tears his ACL celebrating a sack with 2 mins left down 40 2018 - Mitch throws a Hail Mary that is caught at the 1 which would have tied the game if it was a TD The only catch of Kevin White's career that I can recall
  3. Dustin May cranks up 100 mph with the easiest delivery.
  4. Just please feed Kamara
  5. Once upon a time some dumb team traded a first for a QB that was picked #2 overall but hadn't panned out. All we need is one. Oh wait we were that stupid team.
  6. What did Rypien just pull?
  7. This feels like one of those momentum swings we like to call hard to recover from
  8. horsefeathering can him. 27 missed calls JFC.
  9. The Marlins have yet to lose a playoff series. horsefeathering curb stomp them. Their history annoys me.
  10. I didn't get to watch the game and I just now watched some highlights. Pulling Mitch was surprising but the perfect move. We had stagnated once again. The highlights don't even show his incompletions, but from what I've read he was horribly inaccurate on his deep passes as always. As I watched his completions there was more than a few where he threw to the wrong target IMO and that was mostly because he was locking onto his primary and not reading the whole field. The pick was atrocious. This is him in a nutshell. But then I watched Foles highlights and I wasn't impressed that much. He threw many balls off the back foot, i only saw a couple that he really stepped into. He threw into multiple coverage a couple times, had a few that should have been picked. He used his RBs effectively, the TD to ARob was 90% credit to ARob, the TDs to Graham and Miller were nice though. The GW was a beautiful play. Love being 3-0. I think we can beat our next 3 opponents. They won't be easy but I feel confident that we can get 2 at least. Robinson needs to not have completions taken away from him by opponents. That's 2 weeks in a row, and this one took 6 points off the board. Can't happen. He's too good for that. He had a good game, miles better than the first 2 weeks. Hopefully with Foles we can expect more. But he needs to stop getting punked.
  11. Good thing we have a huge cushion because it looks like nerves are getting to him.
  12. We better see Marquez today. Get his feet wet dammit.
  13. Julio is OUT today
  14. Man i really liked living on the west coast and basically rolling out of bed into a full day of football
  15. The Cubs offense has a major issue with launch angle. Even with all of those hard hit balls yesterday their xba for the game was 214. Look your just not gonna find much success consistently with single digit launch angles, like most of the Cubs hitters have. Most of their hard hit balls are horsefeathering grounders. Look: EV/LA 114.5/14 - lineout (ill buy the bad luck there) 113.6/-2 106.8/-26 104.7/23 (surprise, a two-bagger) 97.0/-20 96.5/-14 96.1/-14 94.6/32 (another double) I looked through the log from the day before as well and much of the same. 6 balls hit over 100 mph, 2 of them were double digit LA, one went over the fence. These guys just have seemingly poor pitch recognition (zswing-oswing is abysmal and they cannot lay-off the high fastball) and flat swing paths. And yeah I've said all this before so sorry if it's obnoxious. Another issue they have is their propensity to pull just about everything and make it easy for the defense, even on hard hit balls. Was it here that i saw that tweet about the Cubs have seen 300+ fastballs middle-middle and have only put 70 of them in play? I mean... that speaks for itself. Thats absolutely awful. Their approach is tremendously flawed.
  16. We struck gold in Tulane before. Here's hoping we've done it again.
  17. Anyone else think maybe there's a rift between Pace and Nagy? Or maybe one is brewing? Cohen and Travathan played something like 32 and 46% of their unit's snaps. Neither is even a thought in the waning moments and for most of the 4th quarter. Neither TE has been utilized like one would hope they would be, especially with a QB that struggles working the boundaries. That's usually a position that is a security blanket for a mediocre QB. Kmet was supposed to be a plug and play guy. Just a couple thought I've been having.
  18. Actually I had some ruminations I never posted in that how do you fix the cubs thread and one of them was NT Bryant to sign Springer
  19. Also do we really want to extend our 32 year old 1B who is showing plenty of his own decline?
  20. wth are you talking about? they ran him inside a couple of times! (I'm kidding, Nagy is absolutely puzzling sometimes Cohen played 32% of the snaps lol
