Darvish and Caratini have been traded …who’s next?

December 29, 2020

I’ve been mostly distracted since the gig economy was disrupted 9 months ago. To be honest, it was hard (for me) to take this past season seriously.

Darvish was great this year in a 60-game season. Caratini was more than solid, and there are rumors that Contreras may be traded (?).

Salary dump? Tanking 2021 to build the farm and bounce back in 2022?

My frendts…what do you think?

A tale of two halves: Bears 41 Jaguars 17

December 27, 2020

Let’s be honest, the Bears barely escaped the first half of this game. Mike Glennon seemed to have been on his way to a career game because the defense was again, playing like shit. Trubisky fulfilled his weekly obligation of throwing an interception in the end zone. But then Mike Glennon reminded himself he was Mike Glennon and threw an interception right after that set up a field goal. The second half arrived and the Bears finally woke up. It wasn’t easy early on, but they did their job.

The offense played decent and the defense locked it down in the second half with big plays. If they played any other team, we’re probably discussing a disaster.

The Packers are up next week. The scenario to the playoffs is simple: They can win and get in or pray the Cardinals lose to the Rams.

Yesterday, the Bears received a gift from the 49ers when they beat the Cardinals. And go figure, Robbie Gould did everything he could to fuck it up for the Bears by missing an extra point and two field goals. Regardless, the 49ers pulled it out and it gives the Bears more life to get into the playoffs. We’ll see what happens.

Sweating it out: Bears 33 Vikings 27

December 20, 2020

Why does this have to be so difficult? When the offense sucks, the defense plays adequately. When the offense finally finds life, the defense turns to shit. Fuck Chuck Pagano. Thankfully, the Vikings ran out of time and the Bears held on to win.

Mitch threw one really awful pass and it was probably the only one of the game. Late in the game, instead of throwing it away due to no one being open in the end zone, he tried to throw it to J.P Holtz. Unfortunately, it was both a yard short and a yard too low for Holtz to get it. But the rest of the game? Fucking money. It’s just a shame he was put in a position to fail throughout these four years by incompetent coaches. Finally, the offense put together a full game where they scored on nearly every position. THIS IS WHAT AN OFFENSE IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.

The defense was fucking awful as mentioned above. On nearly every series they were on, they gave up points. It was BAD. There were a couple of stupid penalties that could have ended drives. Yes, they made stops on the last two drives to win the game. But it should have never reached that point to begin with.

As I type this recap, the Cardinals are currently playing. The Bears will either be tied for that last spot or remain a game out. Two games left. The Jaguars are up next and we all know that won’t be easy.

The same thing goes this week as it was last week. Win to stay in the race or lose and it’s over.

Too late: Bears 36 Texans 7

December 13, 2020

Wow. If only the Bears had won last week, they would have been tied for the last playoff spot. But since they didn’t, getting to the playoffs is going to be much more difficult.

This game shocked all of us. None of us expected the Bears to win this game. The Bears sacked Watson six times and the offense scored four touchdowns in the first half. Trubisky was amazing in the first half. Of course, the bald-headed dipshit was trying to get cute in the second half by putting him in a position to fail (like he has since he arrived in Chicago three years ago).

The second half was awful for the offense. There was a series where it was 2nd and 3 and what does the bald-headed dipshit do? Two straight pass plays resulting in a punt. Instead of just killing the clock by running the ball to close out the final quarter and change, pass plays galore. Even when they kick ass in total, they still try everything they can to fuck it up. There I was thinking to myself “they could still blow this.” That’s the Bears for you. If I am the players, I revolt in the huddle and run the ball instead in those situations. Show that bald-headed dipshit that he isn’t going to ruin their future careers by running plays they know don’t work.

The Bears are one game out of the last playoff spot with three remaining. Even though the Vikings lost today, they still hold the tie-breaker as we speak. Since we know the Bears aren’t beating the Packers the last game of the season, they must win the next two games against the Vikings and Jaguars respectively to still have a chance. I still feel, however, that we are probably going to look at the game the Bears blew against the Lions as the difference between making the playoffs and staying home when the season finishes up.

Fuck.

You get what you pay for: Lions 34 Bears 30

December 6, 2020

What else is there to say? The Bears gave up 400 yards and 34 points to the Lions. Again, everything else seemed to align for the Bears to try to contend for a playoff spot. Instead, the bald-headed dipshit decided to call pass plays late in the game rather than run it and that proved to be the final blow as Trubisky was stripped of the ball after the two-minute warning.

If this epic collapse doesn’t get Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy fired, nothing will. How much more does this fucking dis-organization have to see to tell everyone that enough is enough? Why does George McCaskey continue to accept mediocrity when it’s clear that teams that are supposed to be “worse” than them are making changes for the better of the team?

Let me remind you, the Bears were up ten with under five minutes to go. No excuses. Everyone is to blame. The bald fuck, Pagano (fuck this guy) and all of the players on the team. EVERYONE is responsible for this fucking disaster.

Fuck all of you, Chicago Bears. FUCK. ALL. OF. YOU.
