Re: Tyrique Stevenson faces the music after inexcusable failure

Rex the person is very different from Rex the TV personality. He's one of the best guys I worked with and was absolutely adored throughout both buildings I worked with him at (Bal/NYJ). Treated every person that came through those buildings like a friend and didn't have any of the typical "I'm...

Re: Update: Waldron is bad again

I mean if it works no one cares. It's only stupid because the handoff was fucked. Not only does no one care everyone is talking about how awesome the play was. I don’t think it was the best play but not crucifying him over that call. CW was missing a ton of throws in the first. That’s a bigger issu...

Re: Update: Waldron is bad again

No, it was stupid because of the game situation. Yes winning allows you to overlook a lot but it still would have been a stupid call even if he hadn’t fumbled. You give it to a fat kid when you’re running up the score and want to embarrass the other team, not when you’re trailing in the 4th quarter...

I'm not very confident in this, because it's on the road and because the Bears have a rookie QB.

Re: Tyrique Stevenson faces the music after inexcusable failure

Stevenson shouldn't be benched. He's still one of the team's best DBs, and benching him hurts the team. He knows he fucked up, and I assume he got a dressing down in front of his teammates. (Which he absolutely deserves.) if there's one thing rex ryan knows, it's being a massive embarrassment. Okay,...

Re: Flus losing the locker room?

I personally take all of 2022 out of it. Yes, it's his record, but the team was trying to be ass. Last year's 7-10 record and this year's record is what I judge Eberflus on. To me he's 11-13, including 2-10 on the road, and those 13 losses come with four, count them, FOUR catastrophic collapses to l...

Re: Week 8 // Bears (4-2) @ Commanders (5-2)

The Bears have been around for 100 years and have never fired a coach in-season. Let alone one with a current winning record. IF he gets fired, and I put it at 70-30 he won’t, but if he does it will be because he blows it in the division. Yea, I see close to a 0% chance that they fire him in-season...

Re: Update: Waldron is bad again

Good news is that if/when they move on from Eberflus, Caleb Williams should allow them to get the Head Coach they want. Caleb Williams with a year of experience is going to be more attractive than a rookie Caleb WIlliams would have been. The problem is the HC they want is someone in the mould of Na...

Re: Week 8 // Bears (4-2) @ Commanders (5-2)

The Bears are a Hail Mary pass away from 5-2 and stealing a game they had no business winning behind a rookie QB who led his team down to a take-the-lead score in the last two minutes.

It hurts.
It sucks.
Yet they were literally one play away.

Re: IR Returns

I guess I see Claypool as a calculated risk that didn't pay off. I don't think I'd have taken the same risk, but then I tend to be risk-averse in the first place, so.

It's a swing and a miss. Overall I just want more swings that connect than swings that miss.

Vegas seems to think Mariota is playing, with the Bears favored by 3 on the road.
As we all know, road games haven't gone well for Williams so far. Maybe this time, with this being more or less in Williams' hometown.
