Here is one counter though I acknowledge this year we probably could have gone underneath it: - we are paying the bullpen about the same next year and after as we were last few years - Colome was still pretty expensive in arb at 9 and 10 million last two years. - we paid for Herrera and Cishek as MR - we’ve built out MR organically keep them out of save situations where they get really expensive in arb At least when looking at the group as a whole, it made sense to splurge on the bullpen when so much of it was cheap. And it kept the young promising guys in roles that didn’t stretch them. Now, if he really comes at the cost of X on whole roster I agree with your points - but that’s up to sox. Doesn’t have to be the case.

Zach and Coby deserve credit. Unlike v pacers, hawks where they couldn’t score and gave up. Recently when Zach or Coby were off they’ve really tried to make plays for others.

I'm sure it means nothing but I feel like it going on this long makes it less likely they were fired.

honestly the inner battle with me is just severe cynicism that we will be getting a first, second, third choice and will be taking a pretty big risk.

ha well I think they are doing it for castillo but moustakas is our malort shot we need to take with it.

This this this. For Bears, I really hope if they did move they had made feelers. But Smith, Khan, Dorsey, and even eliot wolf all would have my ears up.

This is where it's hard to pick one over the other. The bears offense lacked talent. But we've also seen talent leave and perform much better on other squads. My fav example is Mike Davis, obviously, but he truly looked awful on the Bears, and he was a pretty damn good "Christian McCaffrey-lite" on the panthers. Foles looked horrendous in an offense ostensibly built for him. But then he was playing behind an offensive line that had detioriated because Pace needed to supplement other parts of the roster in worse shape. Overall, it gets down to the fact that when Pace made that trade for Trubisky, hired Nagy, and traded for Mack, it was an "all-in" move that didn't work out. Well, you busted and have to go home. But for the ownership, they have to figure out if it's possible to build some stability because they've tried 3 different coaches and GMs in the 2010s and they all didn't work out.

Sounds terrible.

very descriptive.

Exactly. If you don't like the tweets just ignore them and comment on something else like I have to do with yourwhathurts posts.

blame yourself.

One thing that really bums me out no matter which way we go - if we fire them are we going to get the 10th best candidates? We have by far the worst situation. The benefit of a president is hopefully they give them a longer term deal.

I mean regardless next year will be brutal. There is really nothing the next admin could do aside from gobble up all the signing bonuses with dead cap and get kicked in the teeth next year. There are no trades or cuts that don't take huge sums of a quinn, etc.

They are but the bucs have a good run d and ... Taylor heinecke man

And for as much as certain bears Twitter personalities are raging on Mitch - yeah. Mitch sucks. But the rams with a backup QB and Redskins with Taylor heinicke showed much better offensively. Even bad QB teams can put together better offenses than Nagy can. And his distraction players he’s asked for have already been moved out of the rotation (Patterson). Hes clueless offensively. Absolutely clueless.

I really regret rooting for it

Indeed. The siccing a mob on the capitol to violently intimidate lawmakers to rule your way is technically not in the constitution. So saying "the system works" doesn't make any sense. And when violence becomes acceptible the rules really start to breakdown. Had the OKC bombing happened and half of a party voted to say "yes we should murder all federal employees" still it would also be concerning even if it didn't pass.

I didn't see a lick of this game, and I'm sure after 4 years we're tired of moral victories but I'm more impressed than not on the play this road trip. Short handed against some good teams *(who were also at times shorthanded), but they fought. I do think it was a better idea to invest this year into finding the offensive game of their core players than trying to grind thru 25 victories with Dunn/Shaq Harrison, but yeah, this defense is bad. That said, they are fighting like hell and not backing down. And a nice statline from Pwill though I'm really confused by his poor rebounding numbers. He boxes out just never gets em.

Bears just have tremendously stupid receivers outside Arob (and probably mooney).

Runs all inside, throws all the outside. Amazing game plan by nagy. Who could have predicted that from the bears?

No I understood. I had a friend in Turkey though and it was scary because they were throwing anyone in jail who seemed like someone who could be involved. Maybe they were released later, but pretty scary time.

Well, yes but I'd still want it to move through an actual justice system. Some like in Japan in the 30s that are worrisome is giving slap on the wrist punishments while still respecting their power. More effective to actually remove their power which is why the social media/shunning is a step, but removing Cruz/Hawley and banning trump from office really would be necessary here.

One of the reasons to believe that Trump will not succeed is the backlash of the business side since Wednesday. Still far too much support, but some groups that would go along with anything to keep the low tax cut/regulation train going. Military coups often have backing of business groups and heads.

I'm sorry this didn't qualify as close enough for you. But missing in your attempts to analogize is that this had the support of the acting head of state. It had the head of state recorded threatening a state official to fabricate votes in order to overturn the will of his state on a Sunday. It then three days later had him encouraging and leading a mob of supporters into a government building voting at that moment to end his presidency, where they broke in, killed a police officer, injured countless others, planted two bombs, frantically searched for members of congress while backup force was slow to respond because the man in charge of deploying it wanted it to happen. It was fought back, and then a few hours later more than half of the President's party voted with him in the house to overturn the election results. This all might not seem like that big a deal to you but for most of us a branch of government using mob rule to force what they want is dangerous, because there are actually many real examples of this set-up working at overthrowing democratically elected governments.

Lol yes we are so hysterical! Fascist conservatives haven’t tried to overthrow the government in like 4 days!
