I actually like both Pace and Nagy. Pace just had the best draft that I can recall for decades. The only thing he needs to do now is to patch up our OL for this year and then go for a more permanent fix next year. I have to believe there will be OTs available after cuts on Tuesday. He has put together a fantastic group of WRs, TEs, RBs, and QBs to make this a legit offense. I think the defense is solid, although I worry a bit about DBs. I'm anxious to see what out new DC does with this group. (Making tackles would be nice. LOL) Nagy hasn't had the players to run his "KC" offense until this year. I like him as a person. I like him as a HC. Now he needs to step up as a play caller with the skill players in position for him (hopefully the OL will come together.) His weakness, IMO, was he was unable to shift away from his "KC/Andy Reid" style offense to adjust to what he was given to work with (previous rosters). He was a one trick pony. He now has the speed and skill at RB, WR, and TE to implement his game. He as a decent QB in Dalton and a dynamic rookie in Fields. The time is NOW!

We got him on the cheap. Fantastic deal for the Bears.

The lack of transparency in regards to T. Jenkins 'stiff back' is really pissing me off. I cannot think of one good reason why Pace/Nagy cannot just tell the fans what is the reason for his problem. Does he have a problem with his spine/a disc? It's been 2 weeks +. Time to inform us about what the hell is going on.

Now we need this make-shift offensive line to step up and protect our QBs. I'm sure Nagy will have max-protection schemes in place!?

Foles was Wentz's backup in Philly with the now HC of Indy their Offensive Coordinator in Philly. Wentz & Foles are probably good friends. Foles knows their system in Indy. It would be a perfect scenario. Does it mean it will happen? NO. But I wouldn't rule it out.

As always, results of preseason games are almost impossible to predict or to evaluate after the fact. This year I suspect it will be even more so. Nagy has indicated he will be playing his starters far more in all preseason games. (Let's pray no one gets injured.) I doubt other teams will necessarily mirror the Bears. Therefore, I suspect we will see many of our #1s matched up with opponents #2s. I actually hope other teams play their starters longer. I want to see Fields against #1s on defense, not backups. (I'm assuming Dalton gets first reps?) As far as your analysis, I agree, I like our players/roster better then Miami's. On paper, we certainly have an advantage, IMO.

I just pray Jenkins turns out to be another Jimbo Covert and not a Gabe Carimi. Fingers crossed.

Sounds like the reports of Green Bay's demise were greatly exaggerated. Simply false hopes for Bear Fans. Baring injury, they will be a contender once again. That means we need to wake up, get Fields in the starting lineup, and beat the crap out of the Pack. We HAVE the players on this roster to take charge of our division! Win the NFC title. And return to the Super Bowl.

I like the signing. Good #3 TE to add to the mix. I'm sure he was a cheap add.

I think they wanted to make sure they had a suitor. Let's face it, they had tried to trade him for the six months with no takers. He hits free agency next year. We save 1.2 million on cap and only suffer 500k dead money. I wonder what we got in return? Anything is better than letting him walk. I read on one site a swap of late round picks. One said we receive a late round pick. Two are totally different. I'm hoping for a 5th for a 7th? It's truly a shame. I had high expectations for him. I honestly thought he'd develop into a legit #1 WR.

New article up stating Goldman has confirmed he is anxious to join the Bears on the practice field. Seems his absence was do to family related issues. Good news, Bears fans! Eddie Goldman plans to report to training camp next week

I agree. I'd love to know: What the Bears offered / What Robinson was asking for. I'm disappointed we might not have him after this year.

The term "Talk is Cheap..." certainly applies when listening to off-season NFL analysis. However, I found this article encouraging, and would like to believe it is true: No, Matt Nagy does not hate running ball, that's fake news I truly believe that Montgomery will easily surpass 1000 yards rushing, despite Fields joining him with 500+ yards rushing to compliment his 4000 yards passing. (And no, I don't drink alcohol, take drugs, or smoke pot. I do consume a lot of Bears' Kool-Aid. )

You mean like all of us. If for no other reason, I can't wait until training camp and preseason games start so we will have fresh topics to discuss. If it hadn't been for the kick-ass draft we had this year, this board would be a ghost town waiting for the season to start.

Last year I would have been concerned but with our current group of RBs, I think we will be fine. Hopefully this will allow him to recover fully without a need to return to action before he is ready. I like our FA signing from KC and our draft pick at RB sounds promising.

Here is another article that shows how Fields is the top Rookie QB in this year's class making throws after first read: Data says Fields actually best rookie QB past first read

I'm going to enjoy watching this kid play BEARS football! I just found these videos on YouTube: This is the most violent man in college football Then, another less analytical but fun to watch: All-22 Film: Teven Jenkins Plays Football like He's Angry

I assume you guys who mention betting do so online. What site/service do you use? I've never placed a bet like this before but if the O/U is 7.5 I think I just might give it a go.

According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the is an unnamed league source suggesting Goldman is considering retiring at the ripe age of 27? Seriously? I certainly hope not. We need this guy back out on the field. It sounds like Bears NT Eddie Goldman’s future is in doubt

In regards to Jenkins, anyone want to take a guess as to what game he gets flagged for driving his man out of bounds and pancakes him? I loved watching the highlight video of him on the Bears' website showing him doing the same in a college game. Despite his coaches warning him that in the NFL that might get him tossed in a game, he's going to find it hard to harness the emotion he plays with. I give him 3 games. Short Highlight Video: Jenkins is Going to be a Beast!

Pretty much, hell, it's only a 15 minute drive from O'Hare Airport. You can also access it by bus or train from Chicago. Quite frankly, with the traffic congestion around Soldier Field, it will probably be easier to travel to Arlington Heights even if you live in Chicago.

That's right, perfect examples. The Jets and Giants share a stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. I should have remembered that. I once sold event tickets online. Sports tickets were big commissions. I gave it up because I couldn't stand Ticketmaster, who I promoted, scalping fans.

I thought I read someone post about the Bears putting in a bid to buy the Arlington International Racecourse as a possible location to build a new stadium but I don't see it. I'm sure most if not all of you are aware of the story. There are some fans upset saying that they don't want the Bears renamed the Arlington Heights Bears.???? I don't understand where they are coming from. The Dallas Cowboys Stadium is located in Arlington, Texas, and they remain the DALLAS Cowboys, not the Arlington Cowboys. I'm sure there are other examples. I see no reason to believe the Bears would change their name. Agree?

Yes, The Bears will have a fifth year option that they can exercise, and I pray Fields plays so damn good he earns a new contract before his fifth year. The amounts first round draft picks are slotted by the NFL & NFLPA CBA. Here is an interesting link that shows this years 1st round slotting: NFL Rookie Contracts for 2021 First Round Selections The fact that there is no offset language means that he will get his guaranteed money even if he is released before the end of his 4th year, allowing him to double-dip (getting paid full amount of guaranteed money by the Bears without the amount being reduced because of his new teams contract.)

Okay, once again my failing memory haunts me. We had a WR break his collar bone in preseason a few years ago. I believe, after it healed, he got injured again after returning to the lineup. Eventually I think the bears gave up on him. I hope Newsome isn't going to follow the same path. Can't remember the name of the player. I know you guys can solve the riddle for me. LOL On second thought, Was it Kevin White?
