I don't care about tension, but I do care about 20 starts in 46 games (25/51 if he makes it through the end of this one). Even if you're generous enough to throw out year one, that's still 18/29 (23/34). That ain't good. My god you're a drag dude. He was injured coming out of college, so yea he mis...

Teven Jenkins needs to get re-signed. His impact on the line is breathtaking. When he's out of the lineup it's jarring how much worse the unit plays, and while I know there was some tension between he and the Bears, do business and pay the man. Reward internal talent and their hard work. I don't ca...

That seems weird.

I mean - aren't all these other coaches out in January, anyway? And didn't they understand that?
Generally, it's in your best interest for the guys above you, who hired you, to survive.

I think those are absolutely all valid points for consideration: Players getting better vs just having better players available Injuries being bad luck vs injuries being practice intensity related Getting rid of (maybe) a bad coach vs hiring the (maybe) bad coach in the first place With 0-4 + 4-4, b...

You're scratching 1
1 I know didn't
And I'm dubious the other 3 did either

Not following you on this, sorry.

You said 1 out of the 5 and I'm not coming up with that many. If there is 1, I'm missing it.

It is strange to me to see all the Bagent stans pushing so hard for Williams or Maye - like, do you actually like Bagent or do you just hate Fields? Who are we talking about here? Right! Who are we talking about, specifically? We arent just making someone up, like a girlfriend in Canada. Who's the ...

Rough year brother, lost my youngest son to cancer, lost my Florida home to a hurricane, and my wife broke her femur. Just now coming out of the weeds. Thanks for noticing though. Makes me feel good I was missed. So sorry to hear about your son, Hoog, my wife and I both have multiple cancers and it...

Well....my best guess would be: You SouthDakota Moriarty Rich Karhu maybe? I'm honestly not keeping notes here, so if anyone here isn't pushing for us to draft Williams or Maye I apologize. But I'm pretty sure this is a list of Bagent lovers / Fields haters. This isn't personal, I like most of thes...

Bears are competive, but not good enough


Lions 26
Bears 18

Sigh.

Why must they make me feel guilty for calling him overpriced and wanting him out?

Jaylon Johnson - pay him please please Santos - keep him forever EJax - I don't like creating a hole but he's too expensive as he's playing right now. He should go chase a ring on his last contract Mooney - he's a better player than he's looked this year. Fields/Getsy are to blame for his low numbe...

You go with the choice that has the best odds, regardless of whether they're above 50% or not. * And I didn't say "signing vet QBs to long term deals is bad", I said getting the wrong guy there is just as harmful as getting the wrong guy with a high draft pick. And here is where you thoug...

So if most QB picks fail, and signing vet QBs to long term deals is bad… Do we just go back to the single wing…or? You go with the choice that has the best odds, regardless of whether they're above 50% or not. * And I didn't say "signing vet QBs to long term deals is bad", I said getting ...

I think he needs a lot more than 1 to stay.
But I also think they also ought to win about 3 - which would put things in an interesting position.

I can even provide concrete, indisputable proof for you. It's brutal that you need it, but here it is. Zach Wilson. #2 overall pick, highly touted QB, worse than Justin Fields. Game, set, match. I have no idea what this is about. Of course there's risk in drafting a QB. There's HUGE risk. All posit...

Fields is good enough to win with RIGHT NOW barring a change in his current trajectory Win what with what around him? That sounds like something that's well defined, but isn't. Mitch was good enough to win 8/16 games in a typical year, 12/16 in a fluke year, but not considered good enough to be &qu...

Stars CB - Jaylon Johnson (He wants a ton. I see tag or tag & trade in his future.) K - Cairo Santos (Yes) Maybe LS - Patrick Scales (fine, but getting old) CB - Josh Blackwell (they love his ST, but Stroman plays NB better) QB - Nathan Peterman (PS is cheap and he's helpful) Maybe, if they're ...

One of the things drafting a QB buys you are 4 very cheap, very escapable contract years.

It also sets your team back 4-6 years if you pick the wrong guy.

more like 2-5

And so does signing the wrong guy to a veteran deal, so that's a wash

I voted that all three stay and the next 6 weeks will nit change it. This is very McCaskey like thing to do. Bears have eaten a lot f coach salary over the last 4 years and I just can't see them adding to those sunken costs. Flus will get another year and Pokles will use that number one overall pic...

I don't care what type of defense your team plays, got to have at least one hoss in the center of the D line for this. Now, it would be ideal to have a good 3T next to him. Are we certain the 3T isn't just a Dexter and Walker combo? It's not ideal. But, at the same time, spending a 53+64 to be back...

Hoog sighting!! Rough year brother, lost my youngest son to cancer, lost my Florida home to a hurricane, and my wife broke her femur. Just now coming out of the weeds. Thanks for noticing though. Makes me feel good I was missed. :-? Hang in, man. You're almost guaranteed things get a lot better.

Not really. But I will remind that this coaching staff voluntarily chose to keep him on the roster and cut Gipson loose (before anyone had any idea Sweat would be joining later). And they've still got him on as the 5th DE, instead of cutting him loose or demoting to the PS. They did have garbage tal...

yep

We've already had plenty of debate/arguments about it, so there's no need to go into much detail - I'm not planning to add any comment to my vote. But I am interested in getting a tally. As of right now: 1) Which key people (Eberflus, Getsy, Fields) do you want to stay or go? 2) How locked in are yo...

That's fine, but if they saw bruising on the neck and a chunk of hair missing, I think the odds on this looking significantly less bad are mighty long.

What stuff? He’s a beast. Best DT in the draft. By a lot IMO. I already know the complaints about him being "a little undersized" are going to drive me to adopt him as my guy in this draft. He can go to the Titans to play with ol' tiny arms Skoronski. Thus far, Kancey (a little smaller th...

I think the fact that people are nitpicking a 7th round punter over the entirety of the successful picks really sheds a lot of light on all of the Fields arguments lately. I'm not sure if this was intended my way or not, but I'm not nitpicking anything. I just think Gill sucks as a punter. It's a 7...
