  1. You're the GM (Game)

    You're the GM of the Cubs this off-season. Here are the rules. 1. Money is not a problem. We have several revenue streams we will be cashing in this winter. (Be within reason; we are not signing Price, Grienke, and Cueto) - highlight guys you target and sign in green 2. Don't be "trade...
  2. Almora

    Is anyone else more than concerned about Almora? He's hitting .250 in AA with talks about changing his batting approach already. He's only got 1065 career minor league AB's in bits of 4 seasons so far. A healthy player should be at nearly 1400 by now. It's promising that he's still only 21 years...
  3. Trouble in Boers/Bernstein Land - I Can't Be the Only One to Notice?

    I've noticed a rift between Dan and the programmer over the last two weeks. They've kind of developed a hard-on for eachother. The first time I noticed was a day when Dan was bashing every Bears caller Pace got hired. People called in to talk about Cutler, Marshall, scheme, coordinators, or...
  4. Danny Shelton is a REAL Possibility at #7

  5. Accountability

    All signs are pointing to the Bears WANTING to turn this around and win. My question is this. HH is talking about accountability that wasn't there with Trestman...and accountability going forward. So here's my thing. It's clear that the McCaskey's are opening the pocket book right now...for...
  6. The Bears Would Be Best Served To...(Trade Back)

    We are not a 7th overall pick away from winning this league. Pace needs to put on his best acting job as his first here. He needs to do his best to act like we are moving Cutler (or he could just cut ties with Jay and eat the money) with the psuedo-plan of going after Marcus Mariota at 8...
  7. I Want This Guy As Our HC Next Year

    Defensive-minded...and fits the Chicago Coach Facial Hair requirement...
  8. Just For Fun: Opening Night Lineup Projections vs. Wainwright - & Kris Bryant?

    So we are looking at a current lineup of vs. RHP 1. Coghlan - LF (.282 BA/.343 OBP vs. RHP - career .303 BA leading off an inning) 2. Baez - 2B 3. Castro - SS 4. Rizzo - 1B 5. Montero - C (.272 BA/ .356 OBP vs. RHP - career .281 hitter out of the 5-hole in nearly 1000 at-bats) 6. Soler - RF 7...
  9. We are REALLY BAD...But...

    ...and before you all talk about the rough playing surface and our poor record at Soldier (which is a detractor from any home field advantage, I agree)... How in the blue hell can the NFL justify imbalance to a schedule such as 3 home games in the first 10 weeks of a season? I know one was a...
  10. 14.75 Million

    That's what Allen & Houston are making right now for their combined production of 14 tackles, 1 FF, 1 FR, and 0 SACKS
  11. So...The Level of Competence Depends of Which TV Station Is Broadcasting?

    DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a debate about whether or not Martellus Bennett was in or not before halftime. IMO, he was probably not in. It didn't look like the nose of the ball was out horizontally (more so up and down, if you ask me); and he also bobbled the ball a little bit. But read further...
  12. Chris Conte Haters

    The man takes bad angles in the run game and is a subpar tackler. But the man has 3 INTs over his last 3 games (back to the NFC ship) and has shown flashes in coverage. Can we at least give him props for sparking the turnaround last night?
  13. 2nd down playcalls baffled me

    I'd like to point at Trestman's playcalling in the 2nd half, mainly in the middle of the 4th quarter here for a second. Forte on cruise control. Outside run game clicking. Not a single LB can hold his jock. 2nd and 1 and we call a trap on Marcell Dareus with our BACKUP left guard...of course...
  14. Inside Zone Split

    Is there a brain in Halas Hall that knows how to defend it? Green Bay KILLED us with it twice in 2013. I don't even want to get into what Philly did to us with it last year. Now Buffalo killed us with it all day yesterday. I'm so sick of this defense already. We are terrible both at the point...
  15. Hypothetical Question: Urlacher - Just a little fun

    Would you take Urlacher off the street RIGHT NOW (assuming he's in shape for his age) and plug him a Mike? It's painfully obvious that no one on this roster is fit for Mike/Sam right now, and that will be priority 1 in the 2015 draft. So....would you bring back #54?
  16. Zach Miller - Move TE/HBack

    Does anyone else think this guy has the chops to crack the 53? I'm not going to over analyze a couple TDs vs. the backups to the returning worst Philly defense of all-time. But the knock on Miller his whole career has been that he lacks ability to block in-line. We have a guy in Martellus...
  17. Lord Have Mercy (If We Win the Rusney-Stakes)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci14LWlYGKI This kid's batspeed is Taveras/Baez fast...and he's supposedly MLB-ready.
  18. Almora to AA, Soler to AAA - per 670

  19. I Know Our 1st Round Pick Is Protected...But

    ...does anyone here really believe Ervin Santana is worth losing ANY draft pick over? 4.19 ERA, 8.7 H/9IP, 2.8 BB/9IP, 1.2 HR/9IP, 7.1 K/9IP = Santana 4.47 ERA, 9.0 H/9IP, 3.0 BB/9IP, 1.0 HR/9IP, 6.9 K/9IP = Jackson Calling the guy a "better version of Edwin Jackson" still doesn't say...
  20. Not Your Typical "Fire Mel Tucker" Thread

    Okay...so you can't beat the dead horse any further. It's painfully obvious that Mel Tucker's inability to adapt to in-game situations (or seeing inside zone split for the 4th time in a given season, and still not having the team coached up for it in the Eagles game) far surpassed any leeway...
