Can I ban moan yet

Mitch is bad but this offensive line was supposed to be great and has consistently been getting beat...by good and bad lines.

Man what a disappointing start of the year. Just unwatchable slop.

So the bears find out about pineiros injury on Saturday and decide to play him at 50% rather than get a 100% kicker for a game. And now a Bobby massie scratch. Not good feels prior to this one.

I was just diagnosing the issue, not advocating that they continue being so hands off with development while every other team in league gets more hands on

He's very good at developing young defensive talent.

It is definitely dragged down by being unable to uncover depth players that can handle mlb pitching. The Anderson quote that he hadn't really been taught any of the art of hitting before coming up to MLB with steverson was pretty telling. They are only now, reportedly, being supplied with information on how pitchers will attack them and how to counter it, and I think that's a big part of this with all these young players coming up to mlb completely overwhelmed. I think best way to counter probably is to get mlb players who already have a refined approach. I am hopeful some of these mets fits are possible, but they are at a weird point as an org.

I have sunday ticket this year, which is doubly fun becuase the bears haven't played at noon yet. My channel pretty firmly stays on the ravens. At some point the defenses may adjust, but for now that is one fun team to watch.

Nobody wants to frame every damn nfl story or game around Trubisky. This thread is so boring because of it.

I get the gist of the tweet but that is one terrible sentence

- because everyone in positions of authority during this playoff drought has been promoted. The only person that they saw fit to remove for their part in the ineptitude was Robin Ventura, who wasn’t even technically fired - Similar issues in free agent decisions, role of international pipeline, player development and amateur drafting have occurred during the last three years as occurred in the prior 4, so while it’s expected to not win many games during rebuild, it is still possible to comment on the process during that time. And because there was no clearing house after the failures of the Sale era, they will not get benefit of the doubt when previous themes keep appearing. They were able with high draft picks and trading elite, cheap talent to infuse high end young talent into the org. But as before, it is unseen if there is enough depth internally to support it, and no track record of free agency being a pipeline to support it.

Also holy crap I’ve never seen this before

I’m sure twitter isn’t a great sign of actual temperature of fans (and I know in the heat of a collapse like that I’d also be pissed) but I have definitely been surprised by the anger at the team. Meaning fans clamoring to no longer have to root for this same core.

The idea that they cannot be criticized for results because rebuilds take time white washes the reality that the team was in such poor shape after four years under this management that a rebuild was the fastest way to contention with their constraints. I’m glad they rebuilt because it was the first time under Hahn they made correct strategic play, but it shouldn’t take any GM 8 years to make the playoffs. The details obscure that obvious fact.

What would have happened had they not started a rebuild?

Baseball is fun. Nice to see two guys written off as busts emerge as the hitters we all realized in Moncada and Meadows. Eloy has been giving us tastes all season but the last few weeks have been tantalizing.

good baseball

The As putting together back to back 90 win seasons is incredible.

Maybe I'm wrong but at least division-wise feels like saints are in better shape than Steelers with how bucs/panthers looked.

The difference is deshaun Watson has as many bad games as Trubisky has great games. If Trubisky was excellent week one then we say “well it was just one bad game”.

I'm really glad they grinded this game out. Seasons are long, and you want to bank every game you can even if it wasn't your best. That said - this team needs answers. It looks figured out, it looks basic. It has a wounded puppy at QB, it's oline looks weak, and it's defense and kicker are the only bright spots. One thing - the personnel has to be whittled down within a game. Maybe there will be a riley ridley game. A cordarelle patterson game. But to just expect one or two plays for each player to be executed perfectly isn't working.

Sure, I mostly just mean talent wise it’s a waste. A 4th rounder? Go ahead. That’s where your cousins/daks were.

Eh that’s usually a waste.

And like Murray has been awesome.

Trubisky was terrible. That was nothing a backup QB couldn’t do. Man, when he first came on and was making those roll out passes and throwing on a dime to crossing receivers I was so pumped. Turns out he’s terrible passing on the run. I hope he gets his confidence back and gets back to normal average to below avg Mitch, but he was absolutely awful to start this year.
