The Beast

Franziskaner Weissbier Three Floyd’s Gumballhead Boulevard Brewing Co. 80 Acre Hoppy Wheat Just a few I thought I would mention.

These six players the Bears should target are intriguing: https://nflspinzone.com/2020/01/14/chicago-bears-free-agent-targets-2020-early/

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2020-nfl-draft-chicago-bears-team-needs-draft-picks-prospects-to-watch/ This made it seem like they had two fifth round picks, unless I missed something. I wonder how the compensatory pick works, it has to do with the amount of free agents lost versus the ones signed? What do they do with Cohen if they draft a speed back and Montgomery is their bruiser?

Round 2 - Pick 43 Round 2 - Pick 50 Round 4 - Late round compensatory pick? Round 5 - Pick 141 Round 5 - Pick 145 Round 6 - Pick 176 Round 6 - Pick 180 Round 7 - Pick 210 My guess is that they will use the first pick in the second round and trade back to recoup picks in later rounds. Offensive line would be high on my priority list as would TE. They do need more depth at DE and linebacker as well. And safety will be a position of need. They should pick up a quarterback like Mariota in free agency to effectively run Nagy’s offense. Realistically, the first idea isn’t an option until after this year. I doubt the McCaskey family will sell the team. I make him prove it and decline the fifth year option. Then again I don’t fully understand how the option works since they picked up Floyd’s and sports radio made it seem like they had a decision to make on Floyd this offseason. Maybe the Bears need to consider more prove it deals like Clinton Dix. I hope cutting Amukamara and Gabriel will help the cap issue as will some extensions or changing money into signing bonuses. Do they need a “bruiser” back to complement Montgomery that doesn’t suck like Davis? Cohen just doesn’t seem to fit as a running back.

When the Trubisky, Nagy and Mahomes discussion subsides, what should be the solutions in the draft and offseason? Not specific to the quarterback position but are collectively about the team? What moves should they make? Who should they cut? Who should they sign or draft?

There used to be a Yelp thread with codes, but I think that has since been shut down. Now I just go through my ticket guy and get discounted tickets in the outfield for the games I want to go to. I never pay full price to go to the game.

That is all I would need it for. And to upgrade our broken doorbell to something better.

I agree and there should be a short leash. There should be good debates and if there are personal attacks, there should be quick suspensions. This is an important election and I would welcome substantive discussion on the issues.

Is the $100 Ring still worth getting? I know it doesn’t have the capabilities of the other Ring doorbells but it would replace a non functioning door bell. Also, is there a monthly fee?

Agreed with these posters. I especially liked reading threads where I could learn from people who knew more about issues than I did so that I could see things from different points of view. Heading into an election year, having the Filibuster would be great in terms of education and discussion. But I understand why it went away.

Yes, All Star Baseball 99 was in my top three, along with MVP 2005 and MLB the Show 2007. I loved the sounds tracks of the two PlayStation games too.

This thread went from Theo and Hahn to Renteria versus the field, to Marcus Semien in Oakland, to Hawk’s moves as GM and finally to economics. Got to love Soxtalk. Open up the Fillibuster, we can handle it! #Green

Nice move, so I guess they won’t be trading him for Arenado. Great!?

Their next hires and players for the new offensive unit will be of critical importance to the team next year. Nagy and Pace can’t mess up on these hires or acquisitions or their asses will be in the jackpot.

That’s why I like Bernstein and McKnight. They talk about the Cubs and Sox and they bring analytical perspectives. Mac used to be a Sox fan and talked about them until he started drinking the Cubs koolaid and listening to his boy Parkins.

Why isn’t anyone confident they’ll bring in Mariota for Trubisky to compete with? Keenum and Smith wouldn’t be good enough competition for Trubisky.

The offensive line’s effort was awful today, letting many linemen easily get to Trubisky. The rushing yardage they had from scrimmage this year was at times offensive. I would also like to know the advantage of quick passes to the outside in that offense. They seem to yield a few quick yards at a time but then get shut down almost immediately.

Continuity. Consistently firing coaches and GMs can lead to perpetual rebuilds.

I have a feeling Mitch’s competition will be out of Tennessee. Either Tannehill or Mariota.

Put Mahomes on the Bears with this team and they wouldn’t be rolling like the Chiefs are with how many holes this team has. Mitch is a symptom of the problem but he is not the main problem.

Hopefully I’m surprised, but I don’t think the reliever or bat will be among the top remaining free agents or even players like Betts or Arenado.

Are you sure? I didn’t get that vibe from his tweet.

Does anyone know how the vesting option works yet?

Which is why he’s a softball coach now and not working in analytics in MLB.

Then fans should abandon a bad product then and speak with their wallets.
