Bearstalk

Megapunt for another year. Hopefully not for too much, I am sure they wanted some continuity in their kicking game.

Another QB slot that needs to be filled. I don't think they will have Hill as the starter, so Winston? They have cap issues. It will be interesting.

One tough son of a bitch young man to reveal that. I can't believe how hard that must of been. He must have great control and medical protocols to keep under control. To have never been publicly reveled before. I have no idea how humans respond to or control such a thing. We have a dog that suffers from the same condition. We're happy to go a month and a half with out a seizure. First one came a week after we picked her up from the rescue group. Thought she was dying and we had some how poisoned her. It's a daily battle to try and prevent the next one. But as my wife says she is our forever dog. I only hope for the best for him but his draft stock seems tough…

I've followed Bears drafts since the 60's and this is the first time I see a selection that looked pissed off that he wasn't drafted earlier.!

Instead of dink and doink lets seem them do some duck and chuck. https://twitter.com/PFF_College/status/1408418758339792897/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1408418758339792897|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbearswire.usatoday.com%2F2021%2F07%2F01%2Fbears-qb-justin-fields-was-insanely-accurate-on-30-plus-yard-throws-at-ohio-state%2F anyway. Justin Fields on 30+ yard throws in his career at OSU. 95.7 passing grade, 18 TD's, 0 INT's

I hope it means they have a deal on the table for Foles. Otherwise playing him that long was stupid. Did Nagy get asked about it?

So, here we are again wondering what went wrong and how to fix it. Let’s start with our first offensive series. On the second play from scrimmage Monty hits a nice hole for 41 yards. It was great play with flawed execution. Why? If Montgomery switches hands with the football and uses a stiff arm, he scores. He learned this in fourth or fifth grade. Plain and simple, opportunity missed. After no gain by Williams, because Nagy decided Monty needed a rest after running a forty, Fields enters the game. Boom, 8-yard pickup to the three yard line. In comes Dalton, why? Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to let Fields utilize his tremendous gifts with three yards to g…

It's widely known that I want to clean house, sooner than later, so I've come up with my dream team. Ted Phillips - CEO. Phillips had been instrumental in making great financial deals for the team. With the new property and stadium in the future, it is key that he remain in the forefront. With this new role, he'll no longer make football related decisions. Bill Polian - President of football operations. Polian was NFL exec of the year 6 times with three different teams. All three teams were built up from the rubble and appeared multiple Superbowl. (Seven I think) Polian is 78 so he may choose to stay retired. If we could get him for 2 years to establish t…

I’ve been trying to avoid starting a new topic but saw a story on Robert Quinn that got my attention. Turns out he’s had a benign brain tumor most of his life. I know someone like that and being benign doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous or disruptive. Many props to him considering how he’s playing this year and has played most of his career.

There are only a few spots left in the playoffs going into the last week. In the NFC, SF is 9-7 and NO is 8-8. SF has to beat LAR to get in. NO has to beat ATL and have SF lose to get in. Odds are in favor of NO here. If that happens, it will 4 out of 5 seasons out of the playoffs for Shanahan who still has a losing record as a coach. I don't get all the love he gets. His offense has regressed from the 2019 to now and technically he has more playmakers. In the AFC, IND is 9-7 and needs to win vs JAX next week to get in. They can still get in with a loss as long as LVR loses to LAC and PIT loses one of their next two. My assumption is IND wins making LAC vs LVR …

So it looks like the Falcons may try to move Calvin Ridley. He is going into his 5th year option year, and will have a $11.1M cap hit next year. The Falcons have $11M in cap space, but with only 30 players signed. They have some terrible contracts. Deion Jones has a cap hit of $20M with $24M in dead money. Immovable. Matt Ryan? $48M cap hit with $40M in dead money. Jake Matthews? $23.6M with $19.5M in dead money. The easy cut is Grady Jarrett, instead of $23.8M cap hit, they can save $16.5M by cutting him. That is all but guaranteed. So if they take the Jarrett cap space, they will have $27.5M for 22 players. Still not much wiggle room. Moving someone like Ridley wo…

It's really hard to use this site on a smart phone. Hey admins, have you ever thought about making a TalkBears app?

http://deadspin.com/5934440/the-circadian-...rtain-nfl-teams Heard this brought up on the radio today, and found it to be a bit of mind blowing information. To give you the skinny, basically, the Circadian rhythm deals with our body temperature and overall alertness level based on the time of day. How is this relevant? Well, Stanford University did a study with NFL Monday Night Football games, when a West Coast team is matched up against an East Coast team, and over the last 25 years, the teams out West have won an astounding 63% of the time by an average of 2 TOUCHDOWNS. What's more, the team out west beat the spread 70% of the time! The West Coast teams dominated t…

I had to delete my Twitter Account Any news on his return or status?

-The WR's/TE's can't catch. Marshall had 2 drops today as did Kellen Davis. Hester and Jeffery EACH dropped a TD. -Cutler didn't play well although drops never help. -Even though the OL is playing alright, they had a hold and then a false start on the one drive after Forte had a long run + a personal foul. -Forte had 85 yards on 13 carries. Only 13 carries? Why even sign him to an extension then?

From PFW's "Audibles" section, where they supposedly are getting inside, anonymous information from NFL Scouts, coaches, and front-office personnel, they pose the following thought: "I'm surprised the Bears have not tried Carimi at left tackle. That's what he played at Wisconsin. Chris Williams looked better than Carimi at right tackle, and Williams had to bailed out from playing on the outside. He couldn't get it done at tackle or guard." You mean draft players and play them in the position they know?

For one reason or another, I ended up on Jamarcus Webb's Facebook page. And, let me tell you, it's definitely full of his personality. So what's wrong with that? Allow me to extrapolate... He doesn't seem to be a very serious person. Everything seems to be a big game, a big joke to him. It all seems to be about smiling, doing internet contests, and giving away free tickets. He makes regular, late-night runs to fast food restaurants - something I doubt someone like Adrian Peterson or Thomas Jones does. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't like his attitude. For that much money, I expect more. For that much money, he should be more professional, more dedica…
