Dick Allen

It doesn't matter. There was 13 seconds left. If they have the ball on the 35 with 8 or 9 seconds left, best case scenerio, they have to get into FG range the next play or they have to throw a Hail Mary. They would have had to gain 25 yards for a 57 yd attenpt. The way that defense was getting carved up, I'd take my chances on the return team than Mahomes. Hell, kick it to the 5 yard line, make them return it.

Even if they got an extra 10 yards, it would have been well worth the 4 or 5 or 6 seconds on the clock. They would have had 1 play and a Hail Mary in all lilelyhood.

Still, the offense is something you don't see. The Bears, to maximize Fields, have to use his running ability. He can't be as physical as Allen, but he is faster and can make more miss. It was lunacy the way Nagy was using him.

Watching the Bills offense, I was dreaming of Fields being used the same way.

I still don't understand why Buffalo didnt squib it after scoring with 13 seconds. It gave Mahomes an extra play. And I don't know how the Bears hire the DC whose defense blew the game with 13 seconds left.

Yeah, might as well get rid of all the worthwhile pieces while you still have an interm GM. Would hate to let the guy you are waiting forever to hire make the decisions. What a fall from grace the organ I zation has had.

Yes, but no playoff team signed someone else's major free agent. It was a game to try to get the union to cave.

The other thing that scares me is if you are the best candidate but not in love with Justin Fields, you have no shot.

Kind of strange they are hiring a guy who most likely has never been a GM, and giving him all the power, but basically saying he doesn't have the skills to hire his own coach.

Yes, get a little victory on a couple of the important issues, and keep everything else as status quo as possible. They aren't going to get it all at once. If they insist, they will get nothing.

Yes. At least you know it will be a zoo once they agree to things. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

Should have traded him for Joc.

When the Bears played at Wrigley they had 7 yard end zones.

The funny thing is when they did finish in second every year, the fans stayed away from the park, and from watching on television .

While the extra tax on the $2.7 million could be a hit, I don't know the tax law herw,it isn't the hit Robert was looking at. I don't really follow these guys much, but since the pools have come into place, don't most these guys come over the year the got their checks?

The guy on Twitter who is usually right doesn't think it's anything too bad. Seems to think meniscus is the worst case.

I'm sure that it is not the plan to make him the 2B, but working on it and making himself passable there makes him more valuable to the White Sox and other teams.

You can blame owners and you wouldn't be wrong, but where are the players' proposals?

The press has been talking about the labor issues for a couple of years. To be honest, I never thought it would get this far, but it did. One thing to consider is once it gets to this point, these things never get ironed out until the calendar says it needs to happen now. So this is all song and dance still. If the players counter any time soon, it will be an offer they know they owners wouldn't remotely consider.

Life goes on. You'll find something else to occupy your time. It will probably even be more productive, unless you become a USFL fan.

There is nothing you can do about it. Don't be bitter.

Well, the good news is you told us the players are willing to sit out 5 years if that what it takes, so at least the busting of the union can't happen.

Javy Vazquez and his 53.7 fWAR in 2800 innings blows them all away. Who else would you rather have on the mound in a must win game? Should have been 1st ballot.

Could even a defensive guy have a worse offense than Nagy? Never broke the top 20 in yards, and only only broke into the top 24 in points his first season. As incompetent as George and Ted appear, at least they are trying something new, so there is a chance the results will be better.

It's all a stupid game. Owners could break the union, but the effort to do so would break the game. No one has learned from past mistakes, but the players get far less percentage wise than they used to. Many teams don't even try to win. It's time the players got something. I wonder if they did, how it would effect franchise values.
