don't worry guys the thousands of dead Puerto Ricans are Fake News you have to be a pretty awful person to continue to support this monster

538 has both their House and Senate forecasts live now: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-midterm-election-forecast/house/?ex_cid=rrpromo Dems at ~80% to take the House https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-midterm-election-forecast/senate/?ex_cid=midterms-header Dems at about ~32% to take the Senate in large part to it being a very R-friendly map this year

Just remember that at least two of those guys, Porter and Cohn, are some of his main sources for the book, and Woodward generally repeats his sources' claims with little or no criticism.

Maybe a situation where you have booth umpires who watch the video live combined with the analytics and call the ball/strike that way?

if that's not open then what the heck is it's not open by the time Trubs recognizes it, which is about when that still image is from, and to his credit you see him twitch towards throwing it there but he moves on. but Burton's wide open when he comes out of his break. Here's some actual video. You see Robinson is actually screening the DB, probably in anticipation of Trubs possibly throwing back to the middle for Robinson to try to get

Exactly. If those other people are right, then you basically can't call any receiver open ever. You throw when he makes the break, not when he's already 10 yards open. Or you throw it lower and to the right so HaHa has even more ground to cover.

I think that was poor timing on Sanders' part because it was obviously going to be overshadowed, but then again there's a new shitstorm every week so you never know.

really just an enormous success.

Yeah I did edit that post above, it's not quite as hilarious looking in the video because C-D is sprinting to the wide open receiver. It's more that a more experienced QB may have recognized Burton coming free off the line rather than sticking to his scripted first read. I'm sure most, if not all, young QB's have plays like that. It was more of a laugh-at-this-ridiculous-screenshot post than a serious criticism of Trubisky. The Robinson miss was actually probably the worse play

yard signs are not a reliable predictor of election results. that doesn't seem like a controversial statement.

This was also one play after he missed a wide open Allen Robinson for an easy TD that said, the screen grab itself does make it look a lot worse than the video.

I guess I just don't feel that Pace and the rest of the Bears org deserves any benefit of the doubt, and I still don't think they should have staked the next 5+ years of the franchise on such a huge question mark like Trubisky. He's shown a few good drives or throws here or there, but he hasn't had any breakout performances. Even if the Bears had won on Sunday, it's not like it would have been because Trubs put the team on his shoulders. Even if they hadn't traded up, I wouldn't have been exactly thrilled with Trubisky at 3. And I think when you look at the contract they gave Glennon, it should give you some doubts on their ability to evaluate QB talent. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, though.

Right, but people are criticizing the pick in real time, not hindsight. That's why I still can't believe he traded away everything he did to move up a single spot to grab a very high risk, high-ish(?) reward QB. Were any other teams that high on Trubisky?

hard to evaluate the talent when he barely played college football it was an overreach then and he hasn't flashed any brilliance to justify it so far. other year 1/2 QB's at least show you something to get excited, have a few big games here and there with the growing pains. edit: plus they didn't need to move up anyway, not at that cost. if someone else really wanted to blow a bunch of picks on Trubs, they should have let them. this was a roll of the dice by Pace to save his own job if it works out and cripple the franchise if it doesn't

still can't believe Pace traded up for this

and calling into a radio show to brag about, hey, now Trump Tower is the tallest building in NYC!

if they did a good thing instead of a bad, dumb thing they would be praised for being good, yes.

The fire Nagy stuff was a joke, but I don't see anything from Mitch that shows me he'll surpass Cutler.

And you burn past the 2 minute warning and put them inside the 20 Throwing and then kicking was the dumbest possible choice. The awful, awful route didn't help

This was correct
