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!

Just got the first JF rookie card from Panini. One of only 4301. Took a month. Yea I now it's nerdy. But when He becomes the goat it will be worth 500 bucks. And I will be dead.

Both Godwin and Gallup tore their ACLs in the last few weeks. The WR FA market is going to be crazy thin and overpriced. The Bears are going to need to go mid-tier so they don't break the bank on a mediocre player. Mike Williams is now the healthiest and will probably get the biggest contract.

All he had to do was beat Jacksonville in a meaningless game for them, and he burps a fart. I still can't believe the Colts missed the playoffs. The Bears are no different than the Chargers, Colts, Ravens, Browns, Saints or Vikings, they all missed the playoffs. Just a crazy sequence to end the season and the Bears benefit from so many bad teams winning, boosting their draft slot a few places. So back to Indy, when is Chris Ballard going to get any bad press? Wentz was their answer, just like Rivers was before. The Colts traded the 16th pick in the 2022 draft for Wentz, they missed the playoffs, and owe Wentz 103M. Philly relieved themselves of Wentz, made the …

I posted the article from The Athletic on another thread, so I thought it would be good to post why things will be better. For starters, we all know about the Polian hiring. What some may not know is that George and Ted have been talking with him all year and placed him on the payroll in October. That's A big big deal. Ted Phillips had been proven to be a bumbling fool when it comes to football, but I didn't realize until the aforementioned article that he was in the good ol boys network. That alone pissed me off, but now that he's out of the football part maybe the best decision will be made. We are in a unique situation and this has Polian's stamp on i…

Harvin takes it to the house on opening kick for the Vikes.

Definitely dont miss him. Nice fumble tiny hands
