What a dirty horsefeathers slide

What's the point of Zach Miller? Nothing like a good 32 year old TE on a team not build to compete for at least 5 years.

Cubs single game tickets on sale February 24
FlyTheW replied to JasonMath's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Thats amazing you were able to pull it off. I was in at 10:05AM and no luck and i also kept trying for about 30 minutes to see if something would pop up but never got lucky. Such a shame. Oh well Yeah I was just going for 1 and ended up getting an obstructed view seat so that sucks but it's Opening Night at Wrigley and it'll be quite the experience so that'll be well worth it, especially at face value. -
Cubs single game tickets on sale February 24
FlyTheW replied to JasonMath's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Got in at about 10:04 and went for Opening Night tickets and kept getting a "not enough tickets available" message but I tried about 10 times and finally got in and snagged an obstructed view ticket. Went back about 20 minutes later and got tickets for July 4th. -
What is the worst TV show you've seen every episode of?
FlyTheW replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Is this the only shown you've watched? -
Welp Kyle Long is going full conspiracy theorist/MAGA bro on Twitter.

What's wrong with Cousins? He'd probably be the best QB this team has ever had. Given that the Bears have never drafted or developed a good NFL QB, and this current coaching staff doesn't inspire much confidence in that regard either, I'm not sure why they should be deadset on overdrafting a prospect or trading valuable currency for an unknown like Garoppolo. If Cousins is actually available, they should go after him. Cousins is an average QB looking for a ton of money. The Bears wouldn't be a .500 team adding Cousins and his bloated salary next year and it would hamper them from making moves needed to improve in the coming years. And if the Redskins let Cousins walk anyways, you know there's a problem there.
-
He's better than any other option save Tyrod Taylor and it might be better to try and let him build up value and trade him instead of cutting him. But it won't happen. But if fans didn't exist, that's what I would do

You spend the 3rd pick in the draft on an actual impact player that will play and produce in 2017 (not a QB), bring back alshon and cutler and a good chunk of the injured players plus a FA or two and you could have a respectable 2017 season. Being 3-13 this year doesn't mean they have to be bad in 2017. This is the NFL. But then you blow your opportunity at the top QB pick in 2018. I want Cutler back-as a tackling dummy-but I don't want to win any games. Maybe 1. Fox and Pace (to an extent) are going to be fighting for the jobs this year. I don't think they'll be worse next season than this. I expect 6 or 7 wins.
-
They're gonna suck next season, too; old ass, crappy Cutler probably nets them MAYBE 2-3 more wins, barring the miracle he doesn't break yet again. I'm rooting for debacle Bears. Couldn't happen to a more deserving organization. Plus maybe it drives a few McCaskeys into the grave. That's fine, you can root for them to suck for whatever reason you hate them. But there's no reason this team has to be incredibly bad 4 seasons in a row. There is no excuse to not make significant improvements next season. Not sure what improvements you can make outside of staying healthy. Either way the Bears are going to be bad again next year. None of these rookie QB's are coming in and changing anything and Brian Hoyer isn't that guy either. My off-season QB plan is signing Tyrod Taylor and taking a QB after the 3rd round.
-
Cutler is probably done in Chicago because everyone seems to have moved on but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to bring him back for one more year. Worst case scenario is he sucks which doesn't matter because the Bears are going to be bad. Best case scenario is he is worthwhile and you can actually get something for him instead of straight up cutting him. I get the salary cap room you save by cutting him before the season hut what is a rebuilding team going to do with that saved money anyways?
-
Obviously getting a franchise quarterback is a huge priority but I don't see a franchise quarterback in this draft right now. The Bears have so many needs other than QB they can improve.
-
Things can change from now until the draft but I'm not a fan of any of the QB's projected to go in the first round right now. I really don't want the Bears to reach for a QB in the first round that they don't need to reach for, they need to go BPA with all their needs. I think this is really true when you look at what's coming in the 2018 Draft Class. Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Jake Browning, Josh Rosen. If you take a QB this year, you almost have to be committed to that guy for at least 3 years whether he does well or poorly. I'd be fine with taking a Myles Garrett, Jonathan Allen, or Quincy Wilson or possible trading down to a desperate team and picking up another 1st rounder next year. The Bears definitely need to take a QB at some point in the draft though, I just don't think it should be in the first round.
-
Horsefeathers, the Bulls are going to waste Butler's prime aren't they?
-
None of which are good enough to waste a first round pick on especially with the talent at QB coming in the 2018 draft. Give me Jonathan Allen or Myles Garrett.
-
Yuck, I'd rather watch Barkley throw up picks than Hoyer, at least he's fun-bad. Hoyer is just bad. He puts up the emptiest stats I've ever seen and he's so boring to watch all while barely helping the team.
-
Kind of happy Barkley had a horsefeathers performance today. Really got tired of hearing about how he should be the starter next year and they probably shouldn't draft a QB. Horsefeathers that. Barkley isn't that great, it's just our expectations for him were so low he was exceeding them. I do think he'll be a good backup QB but in no way should he be a starter.

Cubs cancelled my season tickets - anyone else?
FlyTheW replied to evanstonian's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think you have a case if they didn't specifically give you something to read and/or sign about selling your tickets. No way can they pull your tickets without doing this. -
That's a bit much, there's a more than logical argument for him to be at the top of the list. But really it's no outrage that Scherzer won, and the actual voting tallies are zero surprise since Lester and Hendricks were going to split the homer/local vote. I would have had Syndergaard and Fernandez 1-2. They were the best pitchers in the National League in FIP and WAR and were near the top in ERA and strikeouts. Hendricks would have been 4th for me at best.
-
I wouldn't have had Hendricks in my top 5 of voting.
-
He was still a very good pitcher this year and pitched very well in his two World Series starts. He had everything go right for him in 2015, that was never going to happen again.

Illinois in a battle with the Northern Kentucky Norse. Luckily Malcolm Hill exists.

Let this man throw out a first pitch. My last complaint with the Cubs.

Good stuff. Heyward has been a mess this year we can all agree on that, but the players seem to respect him greatly. I like the fact that many said JHey doesn't say much, so when he was the one who spoke up, everybody listened and it resinated much more coming from him. At least it seems he earned some of that contract back in a pretty big way. Gonna go out on a limb and guess Heyward will never be as bad as he was this year. He'll re-work his swing and be at least a competent hitter next year and that's all the Cubs need out of him with his defensive value.

I demand a team full of catchers next season. Catchers are the greatest.
