So we can finally start looking hard at the offseason. 1. February 24th - March 2nd - NFL Combine: we should have a good idea how the players will be slotted after the combine and some pro days. Mock drafts on fire. 2. March 16th - Legal tampering period: We will see a flurry of activity starting around this date as players start locking in deals with teams, will the Bears sign a QB? Is Mike Glennon available? 3. March 18th - The official first day of the league year and the official Start to Free Agency. All the official announcements start on the first wave of free agent signings; teams have to exercise options by 4pm. 4. March 29th - April 1st - Ann…

The NFL is giving us all free access to NFL game pass for last year. We can watch every game from last years glorious season again and again!!

Ok, getting some Safeties back in play. Also, our special teams is going to be a huge strength this year.

I saw this on online at NBC Chicago Sports. A Chicago restaurant had this posted for their patrons: Link to Article on www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/

Won't need this until training camp. https://www.chicagobears.com/news/bears-announce-numbers-draft-picks-will-wear

Last Monday, the team had a zoom meeting in regards to the social injustice and police brutality ongoing issues in the country. Apparently, from reports and quotes from the players, they went into thinking it was not going to be productive, but it turns out that it really hit home for a lot of players. The team's bond strengthened and you could tell that some players genuinely felt like there was progress made. In general, that's great, and for a team that has to rely on each other on every play, that is also a great thing. Nagy has been trying to change the culture and I think that meeting may be one of those turning points, where the team was half in and half out on all…

https://www.chicagobears.com/news/trubisky-well-equipped-to-battle-for-starting-job I'm not an expert on body language and speech. But I do play one on the internet. This just does not look like someone who is going to lead an NFL team anywhere.

I have read many articles that said Daniels had problems reading his calls on the DL when playing center. Which was the main reason for him moving. Not a whole lot saying he could not physically play the position. Playing center would also allow him to have help from either guard and vice versos would allow hime to help from either side. But maybe I'm wrong. My question is why does the center have to make the calls. Why can't one of the guards do that like WH playing left guard with Daniels playing center. it can't be just seeing the alignment of the defense. Any of the guards or center would see that clearly. What am I missing

As a 70 year old fart not that big of a thing. But for all the game playing, WWF loving, 20-30 somethings in pro sports it seems like a great thing to rev up the troops.

It is interesting to me that I got a Bears email from their Pro Shop and Trubisky is on the image. Why would they put a potential back-up QB as their main marketing image? That leads me to believe he will be the Week 1 starter regardless, and the team is committed to giving him at least a few games to prove himself, and then if he falters, Foles comes in. This is not a competition.

I'm just tired of this year. Hey honey, I've been promoted to be the home game stadium announcer this year! What's that, they aren't playing any home games with fans in the stadium. Oh

Larry Wilson, DB for the St. Louis Cards died. I remember him as a solid player. About 30 years ago I sent him a card to be signed. He thanked me for being a BEAR fan and graciously gave me his signature. I read the he was a real class act, and I believe it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2020/09/18/larry-wilson-cardinals-icon-and-nfl-all-time-great-dies-age-82/5827122002/

So I saw an idea that might actually get some legs involving Nick Foles in the next few weeks. Very hypothetical. If the Bears beat the Falcons this week and go to 3-0 behind Trubisky and the Eagles somehow lose to the Bengals to fall to 0-3 with Wentz, do you consider trading Foles to the Eagles if they come calling? I don't think it would ever happen, but just for the sake of the discussion, what would you want in return for Foles? We sent a 4th to JAX but there was no leverage either way at that point. So to me, he is worth at least a 3rd, if not more at this point to the Eagles. So I was thinking of a 3rd and a 6th. We don't have a 4th or 7th next year, so…

‘Stole this’ from the inter webs.

He won't be coming here though... https://twitter.com/RedLineRadio/status/1369345676484751362?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1369345676484751362|twgr^|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeargoggleson.com%2F2021%2F03%2F09%2Fchicago-bears-kyle-long-returns-nfl%2F

Bears sign Blackson, rotational guy on line. I hope he is not a Hicks replacement.

Just by name alone. Alex Leatherwood. OL Leather on wood for OL. Really Sage Surratt. WR Who doesn't like sage? Hunter Long. TE. Love someone who can hit a target from long range. Amon-Ra St. Brown. WR A great Egyptian name with a Christian last name. Tommy Tremble. TE Great name for a knock down blocking TE Stone Forsythe. OL. Stone really? Chuba Hulbbard RB. Not since the fridge.

Seems like NT Mike Pennel has signed a one year deal. Given that Goldman was a no show, this is probably insurance and depth. But it definitely says that the Bears weren't thrilled with Goldman's absence, and need options. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/06/17/bears-agree-to-terms-with-mike-pennel-on-a-one-year-deal/

After the major offseason moves, the main roster snap counts come down to the following: 2020 - Trubisky, Fuller, Leno, Massie, RRH, and Patterson 2021- Fields, Trufant, Jenkins, Daniels, Goldman, and Cohen/Williams Fields replaces Trubisky, huge upgrade regardless if Fields starts immediately or not. Jenkins and Daniels on the O-Line vs Leno and Massie is an upgrade in my eyes. Goldman back for RRH is an upgrade, and the backfield touches of Patterson to Cohen/Williams as an RB is an upgrade. The two clear downgrades we have are Fuller at CB for Trufant/Roberson/Graham/Burns and Patterson as KR to Herbert, Newsome. However, of the 22 O/D starters, onl…

Did y'all see dude tried to rip that kids boxers off after buying him gifts to take some man butt?? Whoa weird!
