  1. Offense blew it. We know the defense sucks. 16 points vs that ****** defense is inexcusable. They had their chance with the takeaway.
  2. The clock kept ticking after that second down incompletion before the Williams catch.
  3. why was the clock running after an incomplete pass?
  4. Thats Jaylon Johnson. I think they save $12 million with DJ.
  5. Then he never should’ve taken a snap in a partially meaningless game.
  6. You can’t let a team drop a 50 burger and shut you out in the same year with these narratives at stake.
  7. First they put up a 50 burger than they shut us out. Impressive.
  8. Loveland drops have costed them 2 first downs too.
  9. Second home game in a row they’ve been shutout out in the first half.
  10. This has week 1 2023 vibes. The beginning of the love era with how flat and demoralizing they look after so much anticipation.
  11. Looks like they’ll hit the under with only 3 possessions.
  12. They’re battle tested against JJMcCarthy, Geno Smith, Mason Rudolph, Snoop Huntley, Shadeur Sanders and Spencer Rattler. To be bottom 25 in all metrics vs those quarterback is pathetic.
  13. They’re going to control the ball the entire half like Green Bay. Bears will be lucky to have over 3 possessions.
  14. I’m with you. 1.3 fWAR for Horton is a bit optimistic.
  15. I haven’t heard anything one way or another. He doesn’t offer the infield positional flexibility they supposedly want. Another poster said Counsel intends to keep Busch in the lineup vs lefties. Tyler Austin hasn’t had an MLB bat since 2019. Not sure if he can be counted on.
  16. Same deal for Suzuki. More at bats vs left handed pitching will likely be a big reason for any dip in offensive metrics in real life. Not sure if ZIPS weighs that or not or if Busch’s projections would improve if they signed Goldschmidt for example.
  17. It may or may not matter if the Raiders trade him after June first to avoid paying his dead cap, if they care enough as a rebuilding team. I’d prefer Hendrickson if you can get creative with the cap. He’d cost no draft capital. Bears need an influx of young cheap talent on defense and I’d rather keep the picks.
  18. Unless the Google AI search results were incorrect, ZIPS projected Horton to go 8-9 with a 4.33 era. So in other words Michael Busch will lose war from bad defense? Because I see no reason to think last year was a fluke. Makes sense that PCA drops to 3.5 by steamer in that case. FCDC projects a 4.5.
  19. Not milquetoast enough. Zach Gallen personifies the Cubs rotation.
  20. Steamer and Fangraphs are very conservative with projections. Nico’s had a 4.4 fWAR average since 22 and he’s projected to post a 3.5, Busch 2.4 and 2, down from 3.5, Horton 1.3 down from 2.2 with more projected innings. Is this the correct interpretation?
  21. Bears would save $16 million by trading Jaylon Johnson after June 1st. Unfortunately it makes the defense worse. I trust the coaching staff to evaluate talent in the draft more than years past.
  22. What non superbowl contenders with projected picks in the teens will trade for Crosby? Parsons, Ramsey, Stafford, Hill etc All netted picks in the 20’s. The order won’t be a problem unless of course the Browns or Jets offer first rounders.
  23. If you’re going to target anyone I’d go after Trey Hendrickson who’d cost no draft capital, just $ the Bears don’t have. Bears would save about $12 million trading DJ after June first.
  24. It’s quite comical seeing Carolina lose back to back to games to pro bowl quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield that the panthers cut so that they could upgrade at qb with Bryce Young for a fee.
