I just had to LMAO when I saw this. Since Aaron Rodgers was in it, I assumed it was ok to post here. Go Bulls!!

leg injury

the first half did have me concerned somewhat as nothing seemed to come together. the second half was a tale of two cities and it was impressive in the sense that this is a shiny new scheme with new coaches and young players who have never played together. they all banded together to get a win against a supposedly superior team. what was very impressive was that the niners were plain and simple out coached by the bears. 1. the discipline and good coaching was carried over from camp and preseason games. one of the differences being penalties or lack thereof. the talking heads can say whatever they want, the bears outcoached them and it showed on the field and in …

Lamar back to MVP form, Fields can play like this, he just needs to be unleashed. Either DET is ok or WAS is terrible. Wentz is god awful one minute and looks amazing the next. Poor Mitch. 15-24, 120 yds, 1 INT, 3 sacks, looks lost. Mac Jones is going to beat him. IND looks terrible wow. Matt Ryan is done, looks worst than Rivers. Lawrence is abusing their defense, which is shocking, great game for him though. Flacco vs Brissett, what a barn burner there. First team to stay awake wins. Daniel Jones vs Mayfield, barn burner 2.0. The game of the injured RBs (McCaffrey and Barkely, who gets injured first?) Has anyone seen Brady lately, looks li…

Reunited with DJ Moore after he made this play last season. Smart signing by the way.

Now he’s off the table

This is probably a big DUH! for some but I still found this article refreshing. When's the last time players were drawn to Chicago by our QUARTERBACK! Maybe a few players signed on to come play with Cutler, initially, but at the end of the day, that faded. And that was probably exclusively on the O side of the ball. This kid's dynamic play is apparently making Pole's job easier. Which is awesome! I don't think it's just his play on the field either, it's his quiet confidence and demeanor. I think we may have a lot to look forward to in the years to come! https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/justin-fields-attracting-free-agents-shows-qb-can-accelerate-…

There's a lot of smoke these days around the draft including some potential trades. At the top of my list is the spectacle in NE where Belichick is reportedly shopping Mac Jones. I'm so old I can remember when the media loved Jones and how he was the better pick over the other QBs. What this could mean for the draft I'm not sure and I have no clue what kind of value Jones would garner. At this point it seems clear we'll see 3 QBs go in the top 5: Stroud, Young, and Richardson. Levis is the wildcard but will he drop out of the top 10 or does Tenn come up and grab him at 9? What exactly is Belichick plan at QB? Hendon Hooker? Trade up to get Levis if he drops? …

Fields used to have a bunch of these games, now his worst games are not as terrible as they used to be. That tells me his floor is rising, which is promising. Here are the 10 worst QBR games this season, so far. 10 Worst Games (QBR) Mac Jones - 7.0 Jordan Love - 7.8 Aidan O'Connell - 8.3 Daniel Jones - 8.6 Desmond Ridder - 9.2 Joshua Dobbs - 9.4 Russell Wilson - 10.1 Lamar Jackson - 12.3 Jordan Love - 13.0 Ryan Tannehill - 13.3 Fields has 3 games between the 23rd and 32nd worst (ironically, his first 3 games), but no longer any in the bottom 20. Funny to see Jordan Love on their twice, and the difference for him compared to Fields …

So at least Poles hit a home run with Edwards. He needs to lock this hometown dude up with a long term contract. He is on pace to have one of the best LB season's in Bears history, on par with Urlacher's best. Here is Roquan's best season as a Bear compared to Edwards thru 11 games: 21 Roquan (17g) - 163 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 PD, 12 TFL, 1 INT, 0 FF (made 2nd Team AP) 23 Edwards (11g) - 121 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 PD, 5 TFL, 1 INT, 1 FF (on pace for 187 tackles, 9th most in NFL history) Urlacher was insane, do you go with the year of 19 TFL, 153 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 7 PD, 2 FF, and 1 INT in 2002 or the 5 INT, 12 PD, 5 sacks, 123 tackles, 7 TFL and 1 TD season in 2…

Crazy to think these are the only teams the Bears lost to (see below). The worst teams are GB and MIN that play each other tonight. So the only one team that Fields lost to will go into Week 18 under .500, and 3 of those losses were the collapses. DET 11-5 (collapse) CLE 11-5 (collapse) KC 10-6 (early season loss) TB 8-8 (early season loss) DEN 8-8 (collapse) (early season loss) GB 7-8 (early season loss) MIN 7-8 (Fields injury game) NO 8-8 (Bagent) LAC 5-10 (Bagent) In hindsight, this looks a lot better than I thought. 4 playoff teams, with at least 2 fringe playoff teams, meaning only the losing team tonight was the only really "weak"…

Odds are Justin will get traded. He has a long way to go to be a tier one QB, but you could win with him. He has some special in his game. Time moves on but one day Justin will get to a SB.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39731763/bears-reach-one-year-deal-ex-rams-center-coleman-shelton Hard to get a read on this. The big prize Connor Williams is still available and would be a great fit but his injury recovery really clouds the contract talks. Is Shelton gap insurance if we sign Williams? Is he gap insurance to help a rookie come up to speed?

I just read an interesting article on si.com stating there has been misinformation about CW's fumbling issues. We've been talking about his 30+ fumbles in three years of college. According to the quote below (I assume it is correct), he really hasn't had nearly as much a problem holding onto the ball as the good old internet pundits have cried. I will have to check it out. But if true, one less thing to worry about.

Passed at 70. Spent ten years with the Bears, getting us to the playoffs in 1977. Played his entire career with Sweetness.

I'm admitted a sucker for these things, and every team has the same type of thing where everyone says all the right things about how they can't believe they landed the guys they got, but I'll be damned if this doesn't get me fired up.

Well earned! If the standard is that you changed the way the game had to be played when you were on the field then nobody is more deserving. Can't wait for the ceremony. https://x.com/ProFootballHOF/status/1812905556815798409

Wow, this might be the best Bears Podcast show out there. Cole Kmet and Adam Hoge, then they bring in DJ Moore. Awesome info.
