  1. Trapillo is also signed https://bearswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2025/07/17/bears-sign-ozzy-trapilo-rookie-contract/85251987007/
  2. Did ESPN after alternatives? Who was the better HC candidate we should have signed? Better DC? Better OC? Better LG? Better RG? Better TE maybe they preferred Warren?
  3. Of course I also need to see it in games but I also don't believe good performance happens out of nowhere. If we stay in the days of old where the offense is just struggling day after day then my hopes for the regular season will drop. What little I gleaned from OTAs is that Ben Johnson isn't going to tolerate mistakes nor poor effort. It's not just him either... Dennis Allen has a similar approach on the defensive side of the ball. I don't know how good our defense will be but I do know that it we have a lot of good talent and it won't be bad.
  4. I think we will know this year is different with the offense early in training camp. Reporters have seen enough wishful thinking and bad performance with our offense over the years so they know what “normal” is. If it’s going to be different in the regular season it will start being different in training camp.
  5. I think he gets better because his leg won't be so tired in the 2nd half.

    Goff vs Williams

    I could not have asked the Bears to do more than what was done this offseason. If Caleb can't succeed with this supporting cast it's because Caleb can't succeed. I'm not expecting great things in Wk 1 because everyone is learning the offense. There should be a lot of positive drives in the first few games and consistency should be there by midseason.
  7. Dennis Allen said very clearly at one of his early press conferences that pass rush comes up the middle not the edges. I know Poles got the message because he ran out and signed Dayo then Grady Jarrett and then drafted a protege for Grady in Shemar Turner.

    Play Calling

    46 is an insane number. Assuming that was just regular season that’s 2.7 long drives per game without a running QB to rescue bad plays.
  9. I have done that and formed my opinion of: Show me. If Caleb does have mistakes in a 400yd passing game, i can be happy but also don't have a problem pointing out how he could have had 450yds. I hope is coach feels the same way.
  10. This falls into the wait and see department. If this team were to really take off and look like a legit playoff contender then I'd be ok adding someone like Thibodeux mid-season. Even though he'd make us better I wouldn't do this now because there are too many questions about roster makeup to give away future draft capital. I don't even know if Caleb is the QB of the future yet.

    KC, LA Rams, and Buffalo have done just fine with run-of-the-mill RBs. Saquon was something of an anomaly because most Superbowl winning teams do not have an elite RB in the modern era. Speaks volumes about how rosters are being built these days. Swift's money will likely be needed elsewhere next year and he'll get replaced by a mid-round pick. If our QB and receiving groups become what we think they can we might get away with another day 3 RB to compliment Monangai and still be ok. This offseason has been one of our best but as you said, enough with the what-if scenarios it's time to start seeing this show up on the field.
  12. I was thinking surely they planned for this but this doesn't seem like much of a plan... https://packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2025/06/09/jaire-alexander-release-green-bay-packers-defense-2025-analysis/84112283007/ "In terms of true cornerbacks, the Packers’ depth chart now consists of a former fifth-round pick in Hobbs, a sixth-rounder in Hadden (by Kansas City), three seventh-rounders in Valentine, King and Hadden, and a former UDFA in Nixon."

    Nobody has a complete roster. Some teams have enough talent at positions to cover the gaps. We're still finding out who our blue chips are.
