I’m confused by PFF. Dex is better in all those categories but not better in the overall rating? I just be missing something I'm confused why people are confused by this! PFF doesn't aggregate stats, they grade reps. If Carter's job on a certain play is to eat up two blockers while a DE stunts behi...

it's a helluva play!

The meatball in me is kind of hoping we land ashton jeanty in 2025...

Bring back Mitch! He looked better than Geno Smith, so who knows maybe the lightbulb will come on for him too! Probably not tho i think the overarching lesson here is that certain teams like the jets and the browns ( and maybe the bears ) just shouldnt be allowed to draft QB's in the first round

It’s really starting to reveal itself now. The best QBs this year are guys like Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and Geno Smith. There’s a combo platter of the QB taking longer than 4 years to become good and then landing in an ideal situation. Folks give up on QBs too soon and tend to blame and credit...

would the players please tell him to take the fucking wr screens out of the playbook then?

OK, here's my theory, which I know I'm gonna get some pushback on: Teven isn't really a good football player. We all know he's strong, and if he gets his hands on you when he's drive blocking, you're in trouble. But this goes back to talk of his lousy footwork, and coaches not believing he can play ...

He had a few of those. Love seeing his composure.

I will say, that all-22 was a good view of Braxton Jones struggling to anchor.

Also Pryor stonewalled his man while reaching to help the center. Great rep for him.

Does anyone want to talk about the blocking looking better once Teven was out for the game?

This is an insane throw

you guys forgot probably the most important game ball:

It's when guys are being named All Pro but PFF don't even have them ranked in the top 40 at their position that throws their analyses into doubt for me. Me also, but I also temper that because All Pro / Pro Bowl selections are often based more on reputation than actual performance. Roquan Smith sud...

PFF was started and it run by Chris Collinsworth.... that tells you all you need to know about their shitty rankings. PFF was started in 2004, and Chris Collinsworth invested heavily in it 10 years later. If that's all you need to know, I dont know if I can 100% trust your opinion. As I've said bef...

Tory Taylor:

He's pretty hit and miss in free agency. Edwards is probably his best signing (should have paid for 3 years). Edmunds is ok as well though I still wish he'd have stuck with Sanborn. Who else has been a good FA signing? (For ref, I'm excluding trades but perhaps shouldn't be). Edmunds has been playi...

i love this shit. i live for it.

Totally disagree. The vibe would be much better in AH because it would be surrounded by "Bears Town" with restauratns and bars catering to Bears fans. There would also be more parking for tailgaiting in AH. There is a much bigger opportunity to increase the fan experience at AH since the ...

Fans just can't wait to fire everyone and perpetually start over. AGAIN: - New rookie QB (who is also the youngest starting QB in the league) - New OC - New QB coach - New RB coach - New WR coach - New passing game coordinator - New offense - New WR2 - New WR3 - New RB - New RG every other week - N...

at this point is authentically being the chicago bears a good thing?

Is Flus part of the problem? Here is an interesting quote, he is a dinosaur in a modern league. Or better put, a DC masquerading as a HC. https://x.com/Schrock_And_Awe/status/1838274871224340597?t=HF_sochjwbE-bcpxaGFc4w&s=19 He's not a great public speaker, that's for sure, and he might be inna...

DJ Moore needs to stretch the field, He has just 4 catches on 9 targets on all intermediate and deep balls. He has caught 15 of 18 targets on short passes. Conversely, Rome Oduze has 11 intermediate and deep targets and just 6 short targets. I don't know that he needs to. Moore running shorter rout...

dropping a parkinson's bomb during his fraud trial feels pretty calculated and shitty to me

But they're first in our hearts, that's gotta count for something.

If all things continue, right or wrong, good or bad, Kliff Kingsbury as the Bears next HC will be buzzing Kingsbury almost destroyed Kyler Murray. ALSO! Kliff's entire history is starting strong and then getting his ass handed to him in the second half of the year! His offense starting strong and e...

I have a preference on OL play also that skews my opinion on this. And I recognize it's just a preference, there are plenty of examples of successful OL's who do not operate the way I prefer it to work. But, IMO, I like an OL that is physical, fires off the ball, and creates movement on the DL. Thi...

Field's second act as a game manager is interesting, to say the least.
