It's WWAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too soon to be confidently claiming something like that. A majority of people were saying the same thing twice as far into Pace's reign. As someone who likes Poles and the job he's doing so far, it is amazing that there's an alternate reality where this doesnt happen: https://...
Thank god this is over. Strong this. The market was the market. It's not what I would have expected a few weeks back either, but I am thrilled this is done with. I am sure the team/staff/front office is as well. No more speculation, debates, etc. Everyone moves on. Fields is a hard worker, class ac...
To quote Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation - "Am I surprised? Shit. If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn into the carpet, I would be less surprised than I am right now." That was about the last thing I expected. I love Keenan. My concern is his age (32 this year) and his history of hams...
If we sign a FA RB, the meatball in me wants it to be Jacobs. After all I've got him in our Keepers League. My real Meatball Moment is Derrick Henry and then run him behind Jenkins and Wright. Put a TE on the right side as the cherry on top. Get like 7 yards a carry. https://media3.giphy.com/media/...
oh sweet another bagent thread Ah man, your life must be so hard. Another thread about a thing you don't like - on the message board you frequent. I'm gonna call the kid with cancer that I know and tell him he should quit complaining. Because the guy with the Fields avatar on the Bears forum - was ...
If you've been praising Bagent for his play but dogging Fields for the last couple of seasons, it's kind of asinine. The only things you can really say after his whopping 14 NFL pass attempts are: 1. He was undrafted! Great value! 2. He turned the ball over 2 times in 1.5 quarters. 3. His best pass...
That was one of the best things I've watched on the Bears in a long time. Regardless of what you think of him and Pace. I respect how open he was and willing to reveal the process and everything behind the scenes that we've wondered about for so long. Everything that led up to, but not only, the sel...
First, the weather is supposed to be disgusting. I don't envision 400+ yards and 5-6 TD's in 30 MPH wind gusts, 50 degree temps, and rain showers with a muddy Soldier Field. Sounds like bad passing weather - but good Donta Foreman weather Sounds like great Roschon weather, to be honest. His style w...
We’re definitely going to see momentum from Fields, there’s simply no question about it. 8 TDs in 2 games? Fields is going to say “8? Hold my beer”. I’d say 5-6 TDs against the Vikes. 350-400 passing yards. Mooney and Moore are going to contribute. The Vikes are in BIG trouble when they face the be...
My new co-worker is a Vikes fan. He is hoping the Vikes tank the rest of the year. He sees the Bears out scoring the Vikes and he states, take the over. I agree at this point. The over is like 43.5? Neither team has a D to speak of. Bears have put up points the past 2 weeks. Damn, I may have to put...
So Justin Jefferson's not just out for this game against the Bears but is reportedly heading to IR meaning he'll miss at least 4 games. Furthermore Kevin O'Connell has said Jefferson will be seeking multiple medical opinions on his hamstring, indicating the injury might keep him out for significant...
We'll probably lose this one. I still can't trust this team to beat anyone. If we do win, though, and look good offensively in the process? I'll admit that my curiosity going into the next couple of weeks will be growing. Minnesota 27 Bears 24 We let a late lead get away at home, again. Jordan Addis...
This is a tough one. Dang. Not much more to say. I met Butkus through a mutual friend once YEARS ago. This was around the time of our 06 Super Bowl appearance. He was extraordinarily friendly and happy to talk to anyone that approached him. I hope we don't embarrass ourselves on the night of his dea...
Fields has had perfectly fine protection during his time here. Mitch had the same for the majority of his time here. Voted up for worst post of the year. No words….. In 18 and 20 Mitch had an elite PFF graded out Oline in pass pro. Fields has had some of the most time to throw before pressure over ...
Do we even want this organization to draft another "franchise" QB? I mean really, I have no faith in this organization to have a bonafide franchise QB. Draft another top shelf QB and have what OL to protect him? I think people thought Fields was a "franchise" QB. Lol... well... ...
Starting with the optimistic expectations in the off-season, leading up to the week 1 stink bomb vs Green Bay, the stink bomb follow up at Tampa, the sheer confusion which followed last week, and then finally - our response of "apathy" in the face of adversity. Going to KC and being totall...
That's very weird. I guess it probably was a timing thing involving Braxton/Collins? I have no idea how/why, though. With this madhouse of a franchise, you can never totally discount something insane, however. This IS 2013 all over again. Keep telling myself it can't get stranger and yet every day ...
And he's back, lol https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2023/9/21/23883750/bears-re-sign-quarterback-nathan-peterman-backup-tyson-bagent-justin-fields-53-man-roster-ryan-poles That's very weird. I guess it probably was a timing thing involving Braxton/Collins? I have no idea how/why, though. With thi...
Is it possible Peterman's release is in some way related to Fields comments today? Peterman was there in part to provide veteran support to Fields. Perhaps he's been more of a hindrance than a help. I believe it may have been. However, not for the reasons you're stating. I think that this is more l...
FWIW he returned 122 kickoffs in college and only 18 punts. Don’t know if there is anything to what your saying but you’ve given more context for your opinion than others have on different topics. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/velus-jones-jr-1.html It is support/context for his opini...
JMO but they have a good defense in Carolina and they play in a shite division, so they'll get some wins....I hope not, a couple injuries on defense and that team will implode Carolina's defense measured out mediocre at pretty much every major metric last season. Did they do a whole lot to improve ...
I live in Columbia, SC. I am friends with several Panthers fans. I am utterly floored and jaw dropped when they talk about having playoff potential for the 2023 season. The only thing they have going is that their division sucks. I seriously don't get it - this is clearly a rebuild year. Rookie QB, ...
