I'm reminded of another "project" the Bears drafted 5 years ago, Stephen Denmark. 6'2" 217 lbs and fast as heck. IIRC he couldn't get the concepts of NFL DB coverage. He bounced around to the Browns, Steelers and Pukers before dropping out of the league. I knew nothing about him befo...

I was pretty excited about the change, but it's been pretty much a nothing burger.

Hopefully that doesn't mean it's Velus time on returns...

I assume it would be Herbert.

But you have 2 on kickoffs. If I was Carolina and Velus was back there, I'd kick it his way.

Well this is a game that calls for some specific details of what will take place. We win the toss and defer. In Carolina's opening series, Booker gets a free shot at the Red Rifle and forces him out of the game and they must turn to their "chosen one" - Bryce Young. (Spoiler alert - they c...

Riverside - small patch in front - Should be able to do just about anything I would like very little maintenance ha Hey Rich, I'm recommending this for a low maintenance front lawn: 1.

I used to get roasted for my punter obsession, but now we are seeing what type of impact a really good one can have on a game. He should be ours for 10+ years!! In all fairness, you tend to get roasted on whatever you post, so you talking about a punter should be no different. :evilgrin: :evilgrin:...

Week 1 Looking at this https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/401671719 (58 plays) We had two explosive plays an 11 yard scramble and a 20 yard run by Switf (granted this is me just trying to look at it) So 2 plays out of 58 is 3.44% Week 2 https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/4016717...

Can I confess that I absolutely love those Lion uniforms. Totally cool. Miss David too.

I like the helmets a lot.

I'm confident that Amegadjie is the replacement for Braxton. There is no big contract coming for that guy. He's been serviceable but not spectacular. Yep, he definitely no longer ascending. Instead he's become a liability as a pass blocker. He still can't handle good bull rushers. I’m starting to t...

Seems like I heard the announcers say Soldier Field turns 100 on October 9. Looking at the schedule was have a "home" games with Carolina on the 6th and Jax on the 13th. But the Jax game is in London. I was wondering if they had anything special planned for the Carolina game to celebrate o...

Have to listen.

Doesn't K.C. have a starting OG who is set to be free agent Trey Smith maybe????

The NCAA did this to themselves. After years of exploitation and shady dealings that benefit only the upper crust of these schools, the players finally have agency, and acts like these are part of it. Go get paid, young guns. We went from one completely screwed up system to a system that is complet...

Tory Taylor:

I thought Caleb said he wouldn't be punting much here?

I really don't see that as Herbert's skill set. I have never really though of him as a power back. It seems like a terrible use of his skills. He seems at best when he can make a cut and head down hill. He's got some speed and can be hard to tackle that way. If you get him early or moving sideways ...

To me he best thing is to get a very good pre-emergent down. If I don't do that I'm fight stuff that thrives in cooler weather until it heats up. Can you take a soil sample to U of I? They would be able to give you information if your soil is too acidic or basic and how to deal with that. I have to ...

The goal line play calling was abysmal, and I've said as much. It cost the Bears the game. There's no reason to go insane about stuff, though. They lost by five. Had 363 yards passing. Had some absolutely great plays in the passing game. People are acting like the season is as good as over. I guess...

On the 4th goal play we needed McMahan in there and go "fuck that, we are running this!!"

But, otherwise, I'd just about rather try anything else than more of Davis 1) RG Pryor, RT Curhan 2) RG Murray, RT Pryor 3)...

I got it right last week with CW having 300+ passing yards and multiple TDs.

That trend continues this week with 377 yards and 4 TDs to go with our -9 yards rushing.

Bears 34
Rams 0 (cause our defense is 2 legit to quit, hey hey)

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

Won't get fooled again.

I thought someone might like this one

The last 2 seasons I’ve lost 1 or 2 games and now I’ve dropped the first three this year.

Doesn’t help that Swift is RB 1 and averages about 2 points per game, because he’s now a Bear.

The Red Rifle had himself a day!!!

"The Aaron Rodgers situation is a tragedy that should be understood,"

Don’t think I’ll ever see eye-to-eye on this

He recovered, that's the tragedy they are speaking of.

He will be good, but Rome will be gooder!!!!!!!!!
