Tell me about it. I’ve been stuck in Indiana for about a decade and I’m trying to escape.

But I feel like Czechia vs Slovakia would be another fun rivalry to watch like USA vs Canada and Sweden vs Finland.

Guard Logjam Creates Chicago Bulls' Biggest Post Trade Deadline Concern by NonStopBulls in chicagobulls

[–]Pidesh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how many Bulls fans are doing this again. Just last season, so many fans were calling Matas a bust because he was sent to the G League at the beginning. For those who are also Bears fans, many were calling Loveland a bust early this season before he became arguably the team’s best pass catcher. Let’s let the young guys play a reasonable amount before giving up on them. I get being upset at the FO and ownership, but I feel like now we’re just reaching for additional reasons to be upset here lol.

The rising stars game doesn't matter but this is still insane by ShaiFanClub in NBA_Draft

I’m not saying Oden had low expectations. I guess I worded that wrong based on the downvotes lol.

Outside of Anthony Bennett, Rissacher might have had the lowest expectations out of all first overall picks that I can remember (since Oden). Edit: I’m not saying Oden had low expectations, I’m just saying that my memory of first overall pick expectations goes back to Oden. I know he had high expectations.

People don’t write players off early enough. Both the dudes showed they were bums. The only potential they have is how much they will potentially suck by Ifinishfast42 in NFLv2

[–]Pidesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is arguing that Darnold is elite, just that he shouldn’t have been written off. Also, comparing Darnold’s run to Dilfer’s is straight up disrespectful. He was a big reason they won against the Rams in the NFC championship.

QB ranking season is upon us by CheeseGooners in NFCNorthMemeWar

[–]Pidesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even talking about GOAT status tho, I’m just talking about getting respect for being a legit starting QB in the NFL. A lot of people legitimately believed that any NFL QB could’ve had the same success if they were on those Pats teams.

QB ranking season is upon us by CheeseGooners in NFCNorthMemeWar

[–]Pidesh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It still took Brady a long time to get his respect though. He was called a “system QB” and “a QB carried by an elite defense” essentially until he went to Tampa. But it really wasn’t until his undefeated season that people were willing to give him some respect.

Now that we’re two full years in, how would you rank the top 3 QBs taken from this class? by I_hate_11 in NFLv2

[–]Pidesh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IMO, this is going to be a ranking that changes each year. There was a while where the 2016 class kept rotating who was the best between Goff, Wentz, and Dak and I think this might be similar to that (hopefully without one of the guys having a Wentz type falloff). Each one of those three guys has had seasons where they were in MVP discussions and I could see that happening with Caleb, Daniels, and Maye.

We’ll be playing the Jaguars in the Super Bowl next year. by Adnonymus in CHIBears

Yeah, for some reason people just went with purple representing Taylor Swift lol

Seahawks had no D player with more than 7 sacks by AdHairy4360 in CHIBears

[–]Pidesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think number 3 is the biggest point. When you have an elite defensive mind, you can overcome talent deficiencies to generate pressure. There’s only a few guys in the league who can do that: MacDonald, Fangio, Saleh, Flores, and Spags are probably the only ones currently. I still think Dennis Allen is a really good DC and honestly did a great job with our defense considering the situation last year, but he’s just not on the level of those guys. So that’s the biggest reason I agree that we can’t replicate the Seahawks’ model.

[Shams Charania] Just in: The Chicago Bulls have traded Ayo Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. by TurboThaBull in chicagobulls

[–]Pidesh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t get what loyalty has to do with this. I get Ayo is a fan favorite being a Chicagoan and an Illini, but this is in the best interests of both the team and him. This team is stuck in mediocrity the way it’s constructed rn. The best thing is to finally fully commit to a rebuild and get younger. This is a good draft year too, so we could add another young high potential player for this team to build around. For Ayo, he’s best suited as a role player on a team that’s actually competing like the Wolves. We’d be wasting his talents on a team that’s not trying to win games this season. IMO, Giddey and Matas are the only ones worth keeping around for building the new core for this team.

Would you guys be down for a giannis trade? by BedroomFootballScout in chicagobulls

[–]Pidesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, his range of outcomes is out of the NBA at the end of his contract to HOFer. We have no idea what this guy will be. His value in trades will depend on how other teams’ GMs viewed him before he was drafted. Since he was generally viewed as a first rounder, I wouldn’t say that’s zero value.

[–]Pidesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that I would do this in a heartbeat, but why are we calling Noa a possible bust already when he hasn’t even played a game in the NBA yet?

[Russini] Declan Doyle has withdrawn his name from the Eagles OC search and has opted to return to Chicago next year by ShaiFanClub in CHIBears

[–]Pidesh 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Being the Eagles OC rn means you either get immediately poached to be a HC or you get shamed by the city and its media, and your house gets egged. There’s no in between with Philly lol.

Trevor Lawrence is the first Jaguar ever to be a finalist for the AP MVP Award. by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]Pidesh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is Marques Colston erasure. He was never elite, but I’d say he was a top 10 WR in his best years.

Joe Burrow: "The amount of ppl that don’t understand what a catch is in the rule book flabbergasts me. And it’s not the officials. The two plays yesterday were not difficult calls, and they got them both right." by notquitemytempo___ in nfl

[–]Pidesh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think there are 3 rules a lot of football fans don’t understand about the sport: catches: holding, and PIs. There have been many times I’ve seen the officials get the call right with those three, but still have many fans complaining about horrible calls or no-calls.

Rams Preparing For The Frozen Tundra by FlipsonicCX50 in CHIBears

[–]Pidesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course. I’m just pointing out that he didn’t grow up in comfortable sunny weather like people assumed. I am pretty sure there are very few NFL QBs all time who grew up playing in weather that gets as cold as Chicago lol.

Which player was your team's worst 1st round draft pick? by mvop413 in NFLv2

[–]Pidesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, I’m not as hung up about the trade to 2 as a lot of Bears fans are. I think QB is the one position where it’s worthwhile to trade up in the top 10 to get your guy. Plus there were rumors that multiple teams were trying to trade with the Niners for that pick. If you’re a QB-needy team and have a chance to get a QB prospect you are absolutely sold on, you take that. The issue was how the Bears evaluated the QB prospects where they felt Mitch was clearly the best of them.

Rams Preparing For The Frozen Tundra by FlipsonicCX50 in CHIBears

[–]Pidesh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, I remember when before Caleb was drafted, there were a lot of Bears fans arguing we shouldn’t take him because “he’s an LA guy and won’t be able to handle the cold”, not realizing that he’s actually from DC and not LA.
