Sorry. I thought it was funny. Humor is my defense mechanism (my wife hates it as well). White had bust written all over him. One year wonder and played with a route tree that had maybe three routes on it. Rome is the real deal. I'm not overly concerned about it affecting him long term, but might s...

Dude!

The last time the Bears won a game with the offense gaining 150 yards or less goes back tto the Rex Grossman era. Maybe this defense will be as strong as those early 2000s teams. That 67 yard KO return from Carter gave me Hester vibes. The offense looked like a John Shoop offense, being led by a Ko...

For you peeps that know, what adjustments would you have liked to see from Waldron to mitigate the poor offensive line?

I think we need to walk back from the ledge a bit... 1. Shelton was very bad but I think that Titans interior line is going to cause lots of teams some problems. 2. Talk of offense being unprepared isn't taking into account the rookie QB, 2x new wideouts, new TE, 2x new olinemen and the new OC. And...

I mean, it was bad but I don't think he's losing his job after one game against one of the better interior defensive lines. Especially when, weird as this is, Williams only took two sacks (which absolutely isn't to say the quality of play didn't disrupt the offence!). This is probably true, but man...

They're obviously not the same but I thought to look at Hester's fumbles and was reminded that he had 8 as a rookie. That was on 47 combined punt and kick returns but still 11.9%! VJJ had 3 in 27 combined returns so 11.1%. Now Carter looked great and absolutely fair enough that he's got the job now,...

I knew it was bad, but god damn this is some awful tape. My "favorite" is the play at about 0:42, where he gets absolutely trucked by a blitzing LB. It's one thing to have a hard time with the DL, but to get totally demolished like that by a LB? He looks like he's going to be a massive pr...

Most folks here have done a good job pointing out the proper accolades and whatnot. Re: Caleb Yeah he missed some. I got the impression he was coached to avoid turnovers at all costs, and he did exactly that. He made a few really nice passes (including the dropped TD by Allen) and runs. Hate that w...

- Caleb Williams: like 1/4th of a game ball for not turning the ball over once against a pain in the ass defense Got to say, it feels good on reflection to come out of a game thinking, woof, that wasn't a great QB performance but then realising there were zero turnovers and the bad QB performance d...

Jesus Christ, that's an awful effort. Makes Shelton look *slightly* less bad as well, he must have been expecting a bit of a bump from Davis whereas the dlineman just breezes through. Obvs only slightly, still a poor play. Fully guaranteed salary this year, could we get a team to take him if we off...

I don’t know the motives or even if there was intent. All I know is it wasn’t called fairly, and that seems to be supported by various players, coaches, and impartial league experts. Diving into motives heads down a path of futility and ultimately abandoning the issue. Focusing on the facts raises ...

My horns bigtime: Olin believes Davis was benched for loafing & taking this play off. If so time to ar least keep him benched and start Kiran Amegadjie at RG. Start Bates @ Center and run with that: https://x.com/olin_kreutz/status/1832848768808464681?t=9RhwPds8MmPN8lS9Yca_AQ&s=19 https://x...

I'm trying to remember now, did Davis get beat lots or was it just that he was in and out?

Giving this thread a bump because the Jets have just signed NB Michael Carter II to a 3-year $30.75M extension with $19 million in guarantees. That makes him the highest paid slot corner in the league and gives an indication of the sort of amount Kyler Gordon might cost at the end of the year if Po...

My guess is that the model is doing something weird with treating Williams as a #1 overall that doesn't account for it being via trade. Plus also treating our last season as a whole rather than as pre/post Sweat. Barring injury I could see us at 9.5 with a range of 12.5 to 7.5. I'm assuming the mode...

Anyone else think it was today lol?

Just dropping in to leave out a jar of Coleman's mustard, not explain it, and retreat to the shadows to watch the carnage... prob my favorite commercially available mustard. sometimes you get a good batch that's so heavy on the horseradish that it physically hurts, and i'll take that all day. I can...

I'm still holding out some semblance of hope for him that he'll figure it out, but yeah at this point it seems like he's yet another failed QB drafted by the Chicago Bears. Traded for a bag of footballs and he couldn't beat out a washed Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh, woof. If I'm Fields I'm doing ev...

I was pretty meh on Poles after his first year, iirc I wanted a harder tank, e.g. moving Quinn and the 1 and 2 year deals aren't ever really to my liking for a rebuilding side. Of the actual signings, Patrick and Pringle had injuries which derailed them, Morrow and St. Brown were good for the cost, ...

You guys drinking spiked kool aid or what? 3rd or 4th for Bagent? I love the guy but remember they were barely able to get rid of Fields, remember all world QB. Keep the dude until he gets too expensive. Its like draft picks, the mystery and promise is tantalizing. Fields was a known entity so no o...

He's putting in the work! Kid wants to be good. I'm sure we all hope he never sees the field this season (except for when we're blowing teams out), but I kind of wonder if he's a trade candidate before his contract expires after the 2025 season. Maybe a team gets desperate and offers us a 4th or so...

I posted the list just above. Walker as our #2 is also middle of the road, definitely not below average. Even if we look at now and think he'll kick inside more, the average of Walker and Taylor is still average production for a team's 2nd edge rusher. Good research. And I just to reiterate - with ...

We need to see how the season plays out but if Williams pans out like we hope he's probably the kind of QB that doesn't need an amazing line. And given you just can't build a roster that's brilliant everywhere I'd take solid but unspectacular players for the line and address other needs/desires wit...

Shelton is 29 but he's only been a full time starter for a year (17 games last season, 13 in 2022). So he's not exactly worn down. If he performs well this season I could see him getting a decent 3 year deal to stay. We need to see how the season plays out but if Williams pans out like we hope he's...

How so? Poles just traded for Darrell Taylor whose averaged 7 sacks and 11 QB hits per year along with 7 TFL. Well, the comment you quoted is 11 days old, so Taylor wouldn't figure into that. At this point they may have a decent, middle of the road DE rotation. But if they do, it's on the strength ...

11 wins for me. 7-10 last season despite the slow start and time before Sweat. I think just running it back would have yielded 9 wins and we've upgraded at OC, WR, C, RB and even as a rookie, I think Williams will be better than Fields last year. The defence has Sweat for a full season, is better at...
