  • Moving Mooney would be just giving up on offense. This has been a down year for him - it’s shaping up to be a down year for the whole passing game. But leaving Moore as the only legitimate WR threat won’t help win games or evaluate Fields/Bagent.

    If I could chose between the two, I’d like to see JJ stay. He’s a solid pass defender, although his availability has been limited by injuries.

    I’m not sold on Tyrique “PI” Stevenson. Every game he seems to get beat and has to interfere.

    Edit: Wait what? I thought I was commenting in the post about moving Mooney or Johnson.


  • I think Poles gets more time. He took over a team in free fall and saw it crash into the ground. It’ll take more than one off-season to build a competitive team. I like what Poles has done with draft capital. Claypool is a big mark against him. On paper it was a good move. At the time, I recall a lot of excitement, further fueled by talk that GB was after him.

    I don’t know about Flus. Maybe one positive thing I can say about him is I believe the defense has been playing a little better since he took over. I thought the rule used to be that coaches got three years. (Trustman was a fairly recent counterexample).

    I agree regarding Fields. It was unfortunate the circumstances he’s found himself in, but I think good quarterbacks would find more ways to have success. He’s going to have to play great the rest of the season too stay in Chicago. I’d love to see it, but I’m not very hopeful.




  • My favorite notebook is the JetPens Kanso Noto. They have 160 sheets (320 pages) of Tomoe River paper with a 5mm dot grid. Tomoe River paper is a premium fountain pen friendly paper that should solve your feathering problems.

    JetPens offers free shipping in the US for order of $35 or more. I don’t know what options are available outside of the US.

    The notebook is currently out of stock. I expect more to be back soon. Tomoe River paper was sold from one paper company to another. I think JetPens just cleared out their stock with paper from the original company and I anticipate they’ll bring the notebook back soon with paper from the new company (Sanzen). In the past, the notebooks sold for $19.50, which is a great price for a premium paper notebook (seriously, I think only the Nanami Seven Seas notebooks have a better price per page for premium paper) . However, to keep the price low, the notebook doesn’t have bells and whistles like an elastic closure or page marker ribbons.
