  1. Are there any Haul Holdouts?

    I originally was a fan of getting the haul and building around Justin. I trust the front office knows best as it's their jobs in the balance. Only thing I wish was different was that I would have kept Fields as a backup for the poor compensation offered. Given this oline and CW's playing style...

  2. OT: Hockenson: NFL needs to review Lions dirty hits

    You know the NFL isn't about to start to change rules to incentivize hits to the upper body and more concussions, but it's surprising to see a player advocating that they have some preference for that. Hockensen is basically saying he'd prefer the shorter recovery time of a concussion than a...

  3. Is the number 1 pick now priceless?

    No doubt there is a lot of other talent there at Michigan to be watched. I was just trying to squash the trade down for JJ rumor chatter as I don't see any way to frame the Bears contingency heading there as a bad thing or warning sign.

  4. How good does the WR3 need to be for 2024?

    Depends on the percentage of plays we can expect to be run out of a 2 TE formation. Despite bringing in Tonyan last year, the lack of 2 TE sets by Getsy seemed very low, especially when you consider that having the TEs there as blocking options given the poor Oline play may have helped. I am...

  5. Is the number 1 pick now priceless?

    Or they are just doing the full due diligence and evaluating every first round ranked QB in the draft which is refreshing following Ryan Pace and his lack of interest in Deshaun Watson during that draft. The more QBs they all can look at and evaluate, the more they will know who has what they...

  6. Is the number 1 pick now priceless?

    It's not priceless but it would really have to be some record setting compensation as well as making sure the Bears still get a QB that they have evaluated being a potential year 1 starter with performance capabilities that allow them to contend and win. I think the scenario would have been...

  7. Is Anyone Else Tired of RG3?

    I don't care for RG3, but lets not act like somehow he is the first one to be planting the idea in Williams head to refuse to play for the Bears. Reality is, we need a QB to come in who isn't afraid of the history of QB play in Chicago and in spite of the lack of ever developing a QB in house...

  8. Are we good at Center?

    Only thing missing in this hypothetical scenario is Bears fans turning on Williams as not being a good pocket passer and relying on his legs too much and the wheel of Bears QBs continues to roll. I hate how realistic and potentially probable this scenario is and it continues to be my biggest...

  9. Are we good at Center?

    Definitely aren't good at Center as Poles has us ready to roll with other's cast offs at the spot. He has to do something else there to ensure success for the new QB1.

  10. FREE AGENCY NO NEWS THREAD

    Looks like cushenberry commanded top money so no way Poles was going to do that. I just hope whoever is at QB this year has reliable protection up the middle

  11. FREE AGENCY NO NEWS THREAD

    Waiting to see the numbers, but this was the center I hoped Poles would go for. I'm guessing the price was considerably higher than the backup G/C from the Bills option Poles did execute. Hoping Poles finally hits a homerun on an OL free agency play, but his batting average is not that great...

  12. Ryan Bates is a Bear

    This just feels like more Ryan Poles continuing to try and go go too heavy on value along the line instead of truly beefing it up with talent. It's hard to believe that Poles has rolled out players like Schofield, Mustipher, Reif, Patrick, Davis, Feeney, etc. And expected good results. This...

  13. Free-falling: Flus opens his mouth on Fields’ weaknesses; trade value market corrects

    I think it's the lack of his owning the collapses and performances that has lost me. If he owned it and said, I messed up I might still have some hope but he was in "protect his job" mode most of this year and now in the off-season puts out these lofty expectations and it just pisses me off

  14. Free-falling: Flus opens his mouth on Fields’ weaknesses; trade value market corrects

    I'm not trying to scapegoat Fields for his awful 4th quarter numbers, but anyone who watched games this year knows the defense and Flus particularly collapsed in historically bad fashion 3 times this year. It is very possible for both Flus and Fields to be bad 4th quarter performers, they are...

  15. Free-falling: Flus opens his mouth on Fields’ weaknesses; trade value market corrects

    The irony of Flus trying to say that needing someone that is a winner and performs in the clutch is almost comical and would make for a great SNL sketch. A head coach who historically collapsed his team in record ways 3 times this year and has mis-managed situational football and seen his...
