Re: Bears / Hard Knocks
The Bears have a target on their back. They will be the team of choice, no doubt about it. Might as well reconcile to it now.

Re: RIP: Bob Avellini
He was a Maryland guy (Dplank's type). When 1977 looked like another washed out Bears season, he and the team went on an unexpected winning streak to put the team into the playoffs for the first time since 1963. RIP, Bob.

Re: Nattering Negative Numnut
DT is still not a strength. I think Byard was an okay signing but the Bears could have gone younger and cheaper for the same price, I wonder if they'll look for more help at S. I'm still not sure of the wisdom of retaining Eberflus. If the team doesn't perform up to expectations, he will be gone an...

Re: Bears New Stadium Nonsense Repository

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
I was at the game in which Sweetness set the then single game rushing record and I can tell you, it sucked. Except for him. Neither the Bears nor Viqueens did a thing offensively except for Walter. Doesn't that sum up most of Walter's career? As Mr Dylan once sang, the times they are a-changin'... ...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
When I was 16 I once played in a game that we lost 2-0. I played corner at the time, I was super pissed that the O lost the game for us by taking a safety. I played in a game which we lost 3-0. We'd hammered them at their place a couple of weeks before, but they'd worked out our audible system and ...

Re: R3 P75: Kiran Amegadjie, OT - Yale
Physically he's more an OT than a G. I imagine he'll get his snaps this year at both positions when starters get injured. I think he'll be the starting LT in 2025.

Don't think anyone saw that coming. He was the best weapon on Iowa last year. I was a bit disappointed that an Irish guy announced the pick, not HRS or DD.

Re: The 2024 Draft
Have you seen WR extensions this offseason? Moore's going to want something similar. Allen's making $23M this year; if the Bear sign him to an extension, he won't take much less. The Bears don't want WR to be 20 or 25% of any future cap, I doubt both are on the roster in a few years. Odunze on a ro...
