Re: Justin Fields Megathread - Steelers Edition

They keep talking about their rookie C like he's the next great C in Steelers long history of great C's. It makes me sick every time I hear it. As much as I love Caleb, I still think that we're in better shape had we: 1. Traded down for a haul and kept Justin as our QB 2. Targeted Verse and Frazier...

Re: Week 14 // Bears (4-8) @ 49ers (5-7)

Man I really want to get backing into believing in this team, but man it's hard. 49ers have been hit hard by the injury bug, I think they are on RB27, so hopefully this can be something positive. As much as I'd like higher picks, I want CW and crew to start tasting wins to build themselves up. Bears...

Re: Tankathon 2024

How much did Waldron play into the OL “debacle”? Seems like they’ve improved. Upgrades are needed at a couple spots but it’s not like they need 5 new starters. OL play is not a strong suit for he to grade or comment on. That being said I did see something a while back that Waldron changed the block...

Re: Bears Coaching Search - 2025

What are the chances that if we go outside the organization that the new HC keeps Brown to be his OC?

If Brown performs like many think he will, I'd love to see him back.

Ben Johnson - HC
Thomas Brown - OC
Robert Saleh - DC

Yeah this one seems a bit too far fetched for me. Would get someone/the team in trouble with the league and the union. I agree.

Hunting specifically for trophies isn’t something I’m interested in. Keeping a rack or having a beautiful bird mounted because you happened to harvest a great animal is different IMO. That's pretty much where I am as well. I don't get the African safari hunt to bring back "exotic" animals.

True. In some crazy world that we finish with 4 wins I think 4 is the best we can do. We likely will pick last of all teams with 4 wins. So we need that group of 3 win teams to somehow win 2 down the stretch.
