    It helps when you outgain a team by 335 yards. They need to capitalize on red zone opportunities.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    Yep. Must win game next week. They have to kick those horsefeathers while they’re down in this once in a 20 year opportunity and flip the rivalry back.
  3. Geographyhater8888
    I also think they miss Dalman. I’d like to see more play action and throws in general.
  4. Geographyhater8888
    Bears just need to clean up some of the red zone slop. They’ve left so many points on the board.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    It’s like choosing between Dahmer and Gacy.
  6. Geographyhater8888
    They’ve out gained them by 200 yards too.
  7. Geographyhater8888
    Drafted Taylor in the fourth round and the Iets have this guy.

    Bagent will be in the league for a while because he’s a quick learner who can grasp an offense. As a backup. Chase Daniel, Josh Johnson, Case Keenum etc all possess that. Meatballs think shredding a fourth string defense in the third preseason game translates to success against NFL starters.
  9. Geographyhater8888
    The last 3 weeks they’ve failed to score on the goal line. They need some size at running back.
  10. Geographyhater8888
    This definitely has Cub game vibes where they’re outhitting a team 10-2 and they’re only up by 2 runs.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    Yeah, He can’t make those throws. That’s also why Caleb doesn’t throw picks in addition to his quick release and footwork.
  12. Geographyhater8888
    Bagent thinks he’s Brett Favre.
  13. Geographyhater8888
    Soldier field is really loud. Much more than I can ever remember for non Packers regular season games.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    2 undersized backs make goal line situations difficult.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    They suck on the goal line.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    Jaime Moyer makes sense as a new pitching coach.
  17. Geographyhater8888
    The good news for Bagent if things don’t work out is that Jed Hoyer will sign him as a relied pitcher.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    The Dodgers are our playoff disinfectant.
  19. Geographyhater8888
    Once again though, it’s more lateral moves. Offense gets weaker and pitching gets stronger for another 85-88 wins. They’re not top spenders and have a bottom ranked farm system so they’re in a similar spot as the post 2015 cardinals.
  20. Geographyhater8888
    It’s a terrible idea if your goal is to win games. You can’t go into next season without at least one established corner outfield free agent who’s a capable full time starter. The other spots, I wouldn’t mind giving Shaw some more opportunities since they’ll be selling low on him, and his development was stalled riding the bench. I don’t think Arozerena is in play if they’re unwilling to sign Suzuki so he prepared for a downgrade. I don’t have high hopes for Alcantara either, they wouldn’t have traded for Taylor if he was a capable platoon option.

    I’m not here to discredit war. I’m sure the bullpen is a major culprit, and their ability to score in bunches and beat the horsefeathers out of teams is on the extreme end of the spectrum relative to their record (125-68 record in blowouts since 2023), which inflates war to a minor degree, is part of the equation. Just an interesting profile of team to be this consistent year after year. Expected win loss record vs actual win loss record since 2023: 90-72 vs 83-79, 88-74 vs 83-79, 96-66 vs 92-70, 95-67 vs 89-73.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    They’ve won over 90 games 4 years in a row with constant roster turnover, they’ve won 96, 89, 95 an 86 too from 2018-22, and have the top ranked farm system. It’s fair to give them the benefit of the doubt in the regular season. Hopefully they face plant again in the playoffs so we can stop aspiring to be regular season paper tigers and focus on improving pitching infrastructure, which wasn’t invented by Milwaukee.
  23. Geographyhater8888
    His attempts to fix these issues are working around the margins with relatively lower risk/cheap acquisitions. The trade deadline essentially forced his hand to quit being cute and trade for established talent. Of course having no farm reinforcements is why he chooses this course of action. They’re getting their moneys worth from war (Nico and Swanson) but not necessarily wins. They have the l war of an 89 win team on average since 2023 with only an 86.75 win average. Their run differential is that of an average of 92 wins over the last 4 years too. What is it about the roster construction that’s causing this discrepancy?
  24. Geographyhater8888
    repost.
  25. Geographyhater8888
    They need farm reinforcements, he’ll be 29 and isn’t a free agent until 2030, which is very valuable. He’s expendable enough for the right farm package. Losing Suzuki, Happ, likely the best year we’ll ever see from Bregman and PCA and Dansby who’ll be another year older is a major step down from a year ago in addition to unknown futures for every promising young arm. Last year was their opportunity to cash in and they failed. Next year, a minor reset wouldn’t be the worst thing. I’m not saying it’s likely to happen, I’m not necessarily advocating for it but I’m not against it either.
