Not Bears related but should be a good SB this year. Bengals haven't been to the SB since 88, and It's been a while for the Rams. I like that's it's different teams competing for it rather than Tom Brady vs whoever. I like both QB's in this game, and you have to feel happy for Stafford to finally be free of the pit of misery (aka the Lions), and has a chance to play in the big game. He suffered a long time on a team that couldn't win. Burrow has really come into his own, and if I'm not mistaken he's the first #1 overall to represent his team in a conference championship game ever. This has been an entertaining NFL playoffs (as entertaining as it can be without the…

Whoa, if this is even partially true: Talk about a shitshow.

Seems like this deserves its own thread as we enter the FA and draft season. If this is the direction Eberflus wants to go it's hard to say how much he can implement this offseason. https://www.stampedeblue.com/2020/10/2/21497914/colts-scouting-journal-time-to-stop-calling-the-colts-a-cover-2-defense

This year is a great opportunity in the draft. Every time you get a new coach or GM you have the opportunity to steal intell from other teams. So far, we have ours, KC's and Indy's. That's a very good start. With all this great info, we lack picks, so let's get some. I'll start by trading Quinn. He just had his best season, so his value will never be higher. Plus, he had only one year left on his contract which makes it even sweeter. We should be able to get what Denver got for Von Miller, at a minimum. Next up is Foles. Can we get a fifth rounder? Next, cut or trade both Eddies. Lastly, it's time for Mack to go. If his foot is finally healthy, he is still…

OC = Getsy QB Coach WR RB Oline TE DC Dline LB = Dave Borgonzi DB = James Rowe SP Team

per the score mat eberflus is our new hc

Since Poles was in KC, what cheap free agents could Ryan bring with him? WRs Brian Pringle and Demarcus Robinson CBs Chavius Ward and Mike Hughes S Daniel Sorenson None made significant money and Sorenson is the only one with age. Pringle has 4.46 speed and has gotten better every year. Ward is a better CB than anyone on our roster not named Johnson.

If Poles wants to secure his job for the next 10 years he will get him to come to the Bears....that is if Sean isnt retiring. On espn 1000 this morning Kap said Payton told Pace to NOT take the Bears job, they are a shitty org. Hes not wrong. lol

His offense just put up 47 against NE (with the best QB performance in playoff history) and 36 on KC in back-to-back weeks. Absolutely bonkers. If not for the stupid OT rule, the Bills win this game. To end the regular season after that snowmaggedeon game, the Bills offense scored 27, 31, 33, 29, and 27 going 4-1 in the process. If you include the postseason, that is 7 straight games with 27 or more points. The Bears hit 27 in 3 times the entire year.

here is a synopsis of how this organization is working toward a new GM and coach... bill polian is hired in 2021 by curious george to advise the inept mccaskey family on how to proceed with running their franchise. according to rumor, polian was advising the bears back in november 2021. deciding, it appears, that nagy wasn't the man for the HC job. what that means is that ryan pace had become untenable to do this job as a GM. what does that mean? it means that at this time ryan pace is now going to be replaced also. so, it appears bill polian has had the reins to how the football operations are going to proceed since november 2021. in approximately 2 months jim …

Despite our issues at WR for some reason I still lean toward fixing the CB/S position in Rd 2. That's not to say I wouldn't draft a WR there if the right talent fell to us. Maybe at this point I simply like the DB options in Rd 2 better than the WR options. Looking at WR who will still be on the board in Rd 2-5 I came across Justyn Ross. Physically he's an easy fit to step into ARob's role but he has some serious injury history having had surgery to repair a congenital fusion condition with his neck and spine. He missed all of 2020 for that but returned in 2021 and still played well. I like his skill set and he's a player I'll be tracking as we go through the scouti…

Sorry but Robbie Gould kicking Aaron Rodgers out of the playoffs is worth it’s own thread. #SFownsRodgers. Always a Bear. And both the 1st round bye teams are out. “Any given Sunday.”

not a good sign but i did see on twitter the interview went bad.

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…

Bears should just hire Shoen and Dabol. Seriously I don’t want to over think this. Bills have drafted well, made good trades, run a good team. Don’t get cute and take the two Bills guys. Than see if Dabol can go lure Fangio to be DC :).  I want Dabol building an offense around Fields. I also want Dabol bringing Ken Dorsey with him too!

List of candidates the Bears have officially requested permission to interview (I will update): Role HC Candidate Name Team Interview Date DC Leslie Frazier Buffalo Bills Sunday 1/16 HC Doug Pederson Ex-Philadelphia Eagles Wednesday 1/12 (DONE) OC Brian Daboll Buffalo Bills TBA OC Nathaniel Hackett Green Bay Packers Saturday 1/15 DC Todd Bowles Tampa Bay Buccaneers …

Figured I'd make a thread where we could track who the candidates are that they have formerly requested permission, etc. I will update this shortly (but wanted to put it somewhere): Kwesi Adofo-Mensah - Browns VP of football operations Glenn Cook - Browns VP of player personnel Morocco Brown - Colts Rick Smith - Former Texans GM (retired due to personal reasons - in early 50's and coming back after his wife passed away from cancer) Jeff Ireland - New Orleans Asst GM & College Scouting Director; Former GM for Dolphins - infamously known for his pre-draft interview w/ Dez Bryant. Ed Dodds - Colts VP of Player Personnel

Hey all, After 35 years in NYC (I grew up outside of Chicago), in September, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona. It's great here. MODs: I'd love to change my display name to "BearFan PHX" if possible? I could always make a new profile if necessary, but I'd love to keep my stats, and either way I'll keep the Willie Galimore jersey! And when I do change my name, I thought all of you, lovers, haters and indifferent alike would want to know that it was still me, and not someone new. That's all Mods please let me know? Thanks!

Thought this was interesting - one because he is a really good candidate, but 2 the timing. Seemed quick given they are likely to focus on a GM first. The only reason you would want to fast track some of the coaches might be because there are a few you think you might move on before you hire a GM (i.e., Harbaugh).
