Re: Bears online logo blue/black?

If it were a draft thing, you'd imagine it would have reverted back now a week after the draft?

Bears online logo blue/black?

I may have missed something, but does anyone know why the Bears logo on the mobile app and YouTube has changed to blue/black in recent weeks? I've tried to check online but found nothing. Cannot imagine that they would change the franchise colours - not this franchise...

Re: Week 8 // Chicago Bears (3-4) vs. San Francisco 49ers (2-4)

I really cannot call it. If the Bears bounce back like after the Cleveland debacle, they can win this thing. I want to see JF1 playing free and airing it out. Let's see what difference Tabor makes. I'm just not that confident that the Bears can get their O on track though. Glass half empty... Niners...

Re: Rd 1, P11: Bears select Justin Fields, QB - Ohio State

Not a bad birthday present to wake up at just after 3am and find out your beloved Bears have picked Fields!!! Thrilled, stunned, stoked, elated, all of that and more. Forget the questions about Dalton and QB1. This probably belongs on another thread, but did Pace and Nagy just save their jobs? Guess...

Re: Carson Wentz trade looms, Bears likely destination

The Eagles are on the hook for a massive bonus payment to him on March 10 or thereabouts. Because of this and the large contract they are trying to move, I propose that, if the Bears want Wentz, they get him and Philly's 1st round pick in 2022 while sending back a 2nd rounder next year.

Re: How far would you go for Watson?

Ignoring every other consideration the thought of having Watson as a Bear makes me drool. But... We'd need to give up AT LEAST 2 firsts, possibly 3, and some more picks, simply because we don't have a QB to put in the trade. Our cap space is slim and we're looking at offloading some big names to aff...

Re: Bears promote Sean Desai to Defensive Coordinator

Like others here I don't hate this hire, and a big name from outside was never coming into a situation with the HC and GM on the hot seat, UNLESS he were to be promised the HC job when Nagy goes. Wasn't going to happen. Sam Acho is VERY high on him, so let's hope he can find a way to get the D back ...

Re: Update: Bears qualify for playoffs as #7 seed

Feels really hollow though. After this performance I have no confidence in the Bears beating NO or SEA next week. Got to get the deep threat in there (not just once per game) and involve ARob more. Only so much Mooney and Kmet can do.

Re: Wk 17 // BEARS (8-7) vs. Packers (12-3)

Without Johnson and Skrine in the secondary I have real fears that we'll get blown away. Unless Pagano can somehow dial up some real consistent pressure on Rodgers (let's be honest that has not happened to any QB we've faced this year), this could get ugly. As good as the O has been lately, this tea...

Re: Wk 13 // BEARS (5-6) vs. Lions (4-7)

My gut feeling of a GB blowout last week proved correct. My gut is telling me that the beloved will lose this one too. A W would require significant improvement from the O. After the last 2 weeks
I just can't see it.

Re: Wk 12 // Bears lose to Packers 41-25

The McCaskeys need to wake up. The last decade when the Bears dominated the Pack was the 1980s. Sadly I didn't become a fan until 1991. In the years since 1990 the record is apparently 43-19 in favour of GB. That is completely unacceptable.

Re: Wk 12 // Bears lose to Packers 41-25

So I woke up at 3.40 am and checked the score on my phone. 41-10 at the end of the 3rd. The fact that I had predicted that the Pack would put up 40 pts and that our D would lay an egg did not exactly fill me with any kind of cold comfort. You can imagine that my sleep after that was fitful. I even d...

With Pierce and Lamar Miller both active, sounds like running back by committee might be the order of the night, with heavy doses of CP and Nall too. I'm torn.
