    Trade UP Mock Draft

    I think the Bears are pretty well-situated to fill every major hole in free agency, so I did a simulation with a trade up to get special players: 1. Caleb Williams QB USC *TRADE* CHI receives #3 NE receives #9, #75, CHI 2025 1st round pick, and CHI 2025 3rd round pick 3. Marvin Harrison Jr WR...

    Contrary to Popular Opinion, Getsy Actually Calls Slants

    You see multiple slant routes every game on the All-22. Fields just never seems to be able to pull the trigger. Here's a couple from week 17: Quick slant, open immediately due to DB taking outside leverage. Fields doesn't pull the trigger. Double Slant! I think this a big chunk (and maybe...

    However you want to look at it. Who is the second best player currently on the Bears? My answer is Jaquan Brisker

    Panthers Look Like Hot Garbage

    Is anyone else watching the Panthers Jets game? The Panthers starting offensive line looks worse than the Bears' was last year. Bryce Young getting hit on almost every drop back. 0 points and 54 yards of total offense in the first half. 2024 #1 overall pick here we come.

    Thoughts and observations from preseason game 3 (first half only)

    My plan was to make a thread about the whole game after a full rewatch, but I got so excited after the first half that I just rewatched the first half immediately, and this post is entirely first half observations. -Fields again showed that he has elite arm talent. On the first touchdown...

    Thoughts and Observations from Preseason Game 1

    These were always my favorite threads back when Windy was here, so I figured I'd try to keep the tradition alive. I rewatched the game with a focus on the individual battles between players, especially with the linemen. -Fields has definitely improved with his ability to go through...

    I finally found a late round receiver I really like

    I've been watching a bunch of videos of the 2nd and 3rd tier receivers, and I finally found a guy I really like: Tyquan Thornton. He reminds me of a taller Mooney. He's a legit burner who cuts well at top speed and is a threat to take the top off a defense, and he uses the DB's fear of getting...

    HUGE potential benefit of Eberflus hire

    People aren't talking enough about the close relationship between Matt Eberflus and Luke Rhodes. It would be a HUGE get if Luke Rhodes follows Eberflus to the Bears. As quality posters like @Grimson have noted, longsnapping has become a higher and higher priority for NFL teams over the years...

    All he does is catch touchdown passes

    Jesper Horsted now has 10 career receptions for 108 yards and 3 touchdowns on only 13 total targets. Quarterbacks have a near perfect passer rating when targeting him. I know it's a small sample, but the Bears need to give this guy some serious PT over the next few weeks to see if they have...

    Do not want Daboll

    Watching the Bills Pats game and Josh Allen has more rushes than the all the Bills’ running backs combined. Daboll would get Fields killed.

    Best Strategy For Future Success This Season

    Knowing how easily their defense gets tired combined with the fact that their defense will allow offenses to march down the field and score on every single drive, the Bears should adopt the creative strategy of just allowing every punt and kickoff to be returned for a touchdown for the first 3...

    Did Mitch Help Nagy Look Competent?

    I was looking through Bears statistics, and this was really surprising to me. The best 5 seasons for Bears quarterbacks (minimum 8 starts) since the merger by quarterback rating are: Jim McMahon 1984: 97.8 Mitch Trubisky 2018: 95.4 Mitch Trubisky 2020: 93.5 Erik Kramer 1995: 93.5 Jay Cutler...

    The last time the Bears gave up 30+ points in the first half of a preseason game

    Was preseason game 3 against the Seahawks in 2014. Led by washed up overpaid veterans like Jared Allen and Lance Briggs and draft busts like Shea McClellin, the 2014 Bears defense would go on to have arguably the worst regular season performance in team history giving up a staggering 442...

    Bort Report 2: Electric Boogaloo (Official Justin Fields Scouting report)

    With the first preseason game coming up tomorrow, I am posting my full scouting report of Justin Fields based on his film at Ohio State (I was going to do every top QB prospect in the draft, but having twin babies at home changed those plans). Here it is: First and foremost, Fields is a...

    Zach Wilson and the Impossible Throw

    One of the things I loved about watching Mahomes on film back in 2017 was how often he would complete a pass because the safety thought it was impossible. Zach Wilson does the same thing here: Wilson escapes pressure by rolling out of the pocket to his right. Meanwhile, there is a receiver...

    This might be a ridiculously deep QB class

    I've started watching film on this year's QB class in preparation for doing a Bort Report part 2. I wasn't going to post about it until I was finished, but with all the QB trade rumors whirling, I just wanted to say that this QB class looks DEEP. So far Mac Jones and Kyle Trask look really...

    If the Cowboys and Washington Football Team both lose

    It would set a bunch of records for a division sucking. First division in NFL history where all teams have double digit losses, First 10 loss team to ever win an NFL division, first 10 loss team to ever make the playoffs, etc. Rooting for the Panthers Giants and Eagles this weekend.

    Cutting both Leno and Massie

    Cutting both would free up $11.6 million in cap space in 2021 and $9.3 million in 2022. Re-signing Ifedi to play RT would be cheaper than that. And this looks like a deep draft class at LT. Also, the Seahawks will probably let Russell Okung walk, and the Steelers will probably let Allejandro...
