Died yesterday after a bout with stomach cancer. I like his older stuff better. I was not a big fan of the Red Solo Cup song and some of his other drinking songs. I saw an episode of Sammy Hagar's Rock n Roll Road Trip that featured keith. Pretty good show. Helluva mansion and he turned an old fill...

I've been contemplating the likelihood of trading up from 9 to 3 if we draft a QB (even with a Washington trade to take the 2nd QB available). Justin Fields and some future picks (maybe some secured in the Washington trade?) to get up to #3 to grab QB and WR. If we sit at 1 and trade up, we'd have t...

Getsy definitely wanted a QB that operated the offense on script. Fields complained that he was getting over coached. Who knows what dynamic between Flus and Getsy turned into. Whether the QB nest season is Fields or someone else, It's obvious the Bears didn't feel comfortable with Getsy any more......

Carl Weathers gone at 76. One of the more under rated actors IMO.

Fun, well sourced article on the Athletic about the disfunction on the jets offensive side of the ball: https://theathletic.com/5238599/2024/01/31/jets-aaron-rodgers-robert-saleh-season-collapse/ Walked away from it with even less confidence in Nathaniel Hackett. A few blurbs from the Athletic's da...

The Bears presented their case for reduced property taxes yesterday to Cook County. The team and the several school districts remain about $100 million apart on the present value of the property for tax purposes. From questions and comments by the county, they appear to be leaning towards the views...

Yeah, I saw that segment from the Score too, @Z Bear. It's a good reminder that the draft analysts are scouting with one set of eyes and giving you what they see, but it's just one perspective. And that perspective has that person's biases because it can't not have them. And these scouts have to ra...

Roquan showed up in the stat sheet a lot (I remember looking mid-way through the 2nd quarter and he already had 10 tackles), but the thing I remember most about his play was that stupid unnecessary roughness penalty near the end of the game. His final score stats encapsulated things for me. 16 TACK...

Goff is hitting WRs for the most part. Mental mistakes with pressure to win. Too many drops

Ravens were trying to press into what the Chiefs were taking away. Ravens had success running the ball and throwing underneath; then went into a straight drop back deep passing attack because they had 1 early deep pass to Flowers.

I am just about to head to the gym for chest and upper back day and thought I'd throw down some progress. Legs and arms are progressing beyond expectations. I can hammer curl 75lb DBs for 3-5 reps, and hit the 110 for behind the head raises. -Biceps are gaining faster than Triceps by far even though...

Regardless of me not remembering when Brady got Welker, he was more of a consistent short thrower early in his career. That was just thrown out there to say the "dink and dunk" style can be effective. I don't think Bagent is on his level, but could be effective with Brady's style if he min...

Jayden Daniels may be the best one of the 3. Very good pocket passer, excellent deep ball, fast release, can extend plays with his legs if needed. Has been compared to Lamar and to Randall Cunningham. I think ultimately he might be also. But he is raw. I watched a lot of his full game film, and my ...

Jeezus, you've got a set of metrics that puts Bagent way up there? You'll need to instruct half of our board to install a lobster bib around their underpants. Me included. He was great at managing down and distance. But it was all dinky dunky and not backed up with deeper stuff, and had few TDs. So...

I agree that Fields lacked severely in the passing department. After Trubisky went backwards in his development, I was pissed off that Fields couldn't make a leap. But that funny stat I mentioned earlier (being able to get 40% of yards on 1st down, 60% on 2nd down and 100% on 3rd/4th down), shows t...

I don't know how you guys play From games. The LR combat is, IMO, unplayable. I grew up on the Atari and suffered through many turn-based combat games. These games are revolutionary I tell you!!!! :-P I guess if you like the content you can suffer through the mechanics. But I don't really mind them...

I like Maye a lot and think he'll have the best rookie season (if all of the rookies play from day 1). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E79mq3JHiW8 Longer highlight video...I haven't watched full game videos yet, but what stands out so far: -Elite pocket awareness...slides very well to allow windows ...

I loved that game. It's not as tough a game as say a Dark Souls , but the combat is pretty satisfying (I don't think I'll ever tire of standoffs). Loved the story. I feel like you can get overpowered a little quickly, but damn is it fun mowing down enemies. You can choose to play different ways, to...

You may be right - but I’m guessing not. Imo, while anything can happen, the bears, at present, are more likely to move on from Justin Fields. They have an opportunity to use another team’s draft pick to select a QB with a lot more upside as a passer than fields while still having their own top ten...

Waldron changes the scope of the offensive philosophy, including protections and blocking. Between now and the draft, he might point us in a direction of needing new O line pieces like Alt, or Fashanu. (maybe sliding Jones in at LG and re-pairing Jenkins with Wright) We are also uniquely positioned...

And ummmm We aren't debating perfect. His ESPN QBR wasn't even Top 20 Aren't you usually out here talking about how "QBR is a poor metric" to rate how good your QB is or isn't? QBs can still have a decent QBR and not play winning football, by avoiding high turnover numbers and completing ...

Good. We should be trading the pick. Should I show up for my interview anyway? Waldron changes the scope of the offensive philosophy, including protections and blocking. Between now and the draft, he might point us in a direction of needing new O line pieces like Alt, or Fashanu. (maybe sliding Jon...

Imo, that’s not what the tea leaves are revealing. Poles is doing everything he can not to tip his hand one way or the other. Talking to Kingsbury doesn’t necessarily indicate that poles wants to trade the pick - just the opposite. He’s doing due diligence talking to the one coach who worked with b...

Waldron made Geno Smith into a pro bowl passer. You can see the differences between Geno's early years starting, and his last 2 years starting in the 2nd graph: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SmitGe00.htm His yardage totals and completion % is up, INT% is way down, despite taking r...

I got the 49ers as the only home team winning this weekend.

As bad as we looked last week, Bears defense under Flus held the Packers to 17 in Green Bay. Cowboys defense under Quinn getting destroyed at home.

Man Flacco decided at the wrong time to revert to the QB he was for most of his career. Two brutal pick 6's.

With the new property deals coming up and setting up contractors and the billions of $$$ going into the next few years, it makes you wonder if Warren needed someone with a little less loyalty to the Bears in place to make a few side deals.

Interesting mock draft I just saw: Chicago trades #1 to Washington for #2, #36 and #40 Caleb Williams goes #1 We draft Marvin Harrison, Jr. #2 We draft Jared Verse #9 No future first round picks, but we get #36 and #40 this year to address iOL/Move-TE/RB/DB etc. Thoughts? I would do this in a heart...
