    The fans are strategically whining? Or they’re whining because Lafleur was publicly vocal? I don’t begrudge Lafleur I Begrudge a whiney, entitled fanbase who have probably been netted 10+ wins during the Rodgers era from one sided officiating. Bears and Cowboys have large fanbases and don’t get the ref treatment. Chiefs fanbase is a recent phenomenon too, same with Brady and the Pats. It’s about players more than fans.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    They’re having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that Rodgers is no longer their quarterback and their opponents are no longer on the ass end of every questionable call/no call. The irony is amazing and imagine being such a sore winner that you’re still bitching about calls in a game you won. Such an entitled, obnoxious fanbase. Cardinals fans are way better.
  3. Geographyhater8888
    The Loveland drop took 3 off the board and possibly more for all we know. Because the next play was a false start, knocking them out field goal range.
  4. Geographyhater8888
    The bears as a team are dead last in bad throws at 22.8%, next worse is Atlanta at 20.5%. No other teams are separated by 1% besides the Bears. It has to get better regardless of drops.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    Unless you can find a third team who’d chip in a prospect for Nico as the final piece in a trade for a starting pitcher. Bregman is more of a lateral move than a step backwards. I don’t expect anything to happen because that’s the nature of our front office but it’s something to entertain. Two years in a row Jed has shown interest in Bregman for what it’s worth.
  6. Geographyhater8888
    Bregman was much better away from Fenway for what it’s worth and was on pace for a 5 fWAR if he didn’t miss a month from injury. I’m not averse to it but it’d also depend on whether or not he’s ok with splitting time at DH if they keep all 3 infielders. You’d have to sell him on that if that’s a priority for him. The idea of trading Nico, whether or not it’s in the teams best interest is bringing back a prospect to flip for a cost controlled starting pitcher if you can fetch a prospect the nationals or marlins like was my angle if keeping Shaw is the plan. Regardless of what happens it’s interesting that Jed has shown interest in Bregman. That’s him going outside of comfort zone and would be that big surprise you talked about a couple weeks ago.
  7. Geographyhater8888
    Nico is 28 and Bregman is 31, Bregman will be more expensive than any Nico extention for equivalent fWAR. I get the increase in right handed slug but what other possible angle and I missing here if they somehow go that route? Bregmans value relative to Nico would be higher on a pitching staff that misses bats.
  8. Geographyhater8888
    This Bregman rumor has been floating around for multiple offseason now. Let’s say they end up signing Bregman, does this mean they trade Shaw for a high end starter? Find a trade partner for Nico in a 3 team deal sending a prospect and their lesser farm talent like Rojas/Long/Wicks/Alcantara for Gore or Cabrera? Make Bregman DH? It seems odd that Jed has inquired about him regardless of how unlikely it is that he’s a Cub when third base isn’t a pressing need and Nico would be cheaper to extend for equal WAR.

    Ben’s new goal for Caleb in 2026 should a be 70% on target rate.
  10. Geographyhater8888
    They had the momentum playing up tempo and the clock management stalled their drive in my opinion. Not a bad decision but that’s the drawback.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    When will that ever happen though? The packers have had 5 losing seasons total since 92 and that streak doesn’t look like it’ll end anytime soon.
  12. Geographyhater8888
    As a DH or platoon option at 1st base?
  13. Geographyhater8888
    The issue is still a lack of an elite run producer at the top of the order to work pitch counts and create more consistent sequencing opportunities with Tucker gone.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    It really is. New coach, 9-3 record, won 9/10, high powered offense just to lose to these pieces of horsefeathers in the same way as every other loss over the last 15 years. Same old bears.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    Loss number 28 of 31 to these pieces of dinosaur horsefeathers.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    Another good punt from touchback Tory.
  17. Geographyhater8888
    Why is Loveland on the bench?
  18. Geographyhater8888
    Get the momentum back and lose 5 horsefeathers yards
  19. Geographyhater8888
    What is Vegas seeing by giving the bears as many points vs the Packers as the Eagles? Is it matchup related or is based more on the full 12 game aggregate at only +6 with an easy SOS?
  20. Geographyhater8888
    The last time both teams were competitive concurrently was 2010-2013, The final dagger was the 4th and 13 td pass to Cobb to win the packers the north in week 17. I’d prefer being Tom Brady’s patriots going 34-4 vs Buffalo during their dynasty years but life isn’t fair.
  21. Geographyhater8888
    At least it’s not bad on paper. This is the healthiest the unit has been all year and we saw a lot more contested passes last week by the secondary. If the offense keeps scoring they’ll be in good shape. They’re an ugly 9-3 but still 9-3 with Edwards Gordon and Johnson playing a combined 10 games.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    He’s only had 188 receiving yards since week 9. Good bet it’s effecting his explosiveness.
  23. Geographyhater8888
    Not at all. They have the same number of losses and hold any tie breaker scenario where both teams finish with the same win total. They’d need to sweep the packers, beat Cleveland and then either the 49ers or Lions unless the the packers lose @Denver. Even with a win it’s a difficult path.
  24. Geographyhater8888
    Ohtani put pressure on the Dodgers to win the World Series too.

    Caleb Williams league adjusted efficiency: 2025 vs 2024.
