Week 1 Official Game Thread - CHI @ LAR, +7.5, O/U 44.5, SUN 9/12, 7:20PM CT - NBC
Where to start. Well at least I can finally disregard all the preseason BS about our D coordinator. Eddie Jackson, time for you to grab some bench. I don’t care who’s the backup to him, play him, it can’t get worse than the tackling #4 displays. I suspect we are in for a long season. Oh well, only shining moment was seeing Rodgers tearing up on the sideline today.

Bears Free Agency 2021
Thought I heard that Schwartz’s back surgery was for an injury that wasn’t too serious.

Bears Free Agency 2021
We need o-line help to keep Dalton upright so if they are thinking about moving up for a QB in the draft, what about kicking the tires on the releases KC tackles?

Bears Free Agency 2021
So Brad Biggs is reporting in this morning’s Tribune that as of EOD Friday Fuller and Hicks are still on the roster. So is the chatter of Fuller being released coming from his agent, because he didn’t agree to a restructuring or salary cut? I’m assuming they can’t find a trade partner but if the value requested is a lower round I’d imagine they’d find a taker. Something for him is better than nothing. It also seemed like Biggs was intimating that Trufant may not have been signed to be a starter or at least another signing is possible for a training camp battle. If I’m being honest I’m not heart broken about Fuller going, felt like we got one of exceptional year and some above average years probably not enough to justify the salary. Therein lies the rub for me about Pace, he’s either falling in love with the inexplainable, ie Shaheen and Trubisky or he’s bidding against himself. Either case leads to consequences that set the team back and we’re left with the fox trying to fix the henhouse. Sorry for spraying to all fields here.

Bears sign Andy Dalton per the score. Foles 2.0
Guys, great comments all around. This is a lethargic move and while I don’t blame anyone for not getting either Wilson or Watson, I will say this; this regime has eroded the fan in me. I used to be stoked to read Street and Smith and draft publications and anything I could get my hands on about my beloved Bears. But starting with the public leadership of the McCaskey brothers and the two headed dunces (pace and Nagy) , they’ve sucked the joy and enthusiasm I had for my team. I’ve fallen to the role of casual fan. I was holding out hope for Wilson or Watson to put some fire back in my belly about the team. They’re mediocre and Dalton is mediocre and I’m exhausted from mediocre. 2021 will be just another season and that kind of saddens me. Thanks George.

Bad idea perhaps
How about Fitzmagic and Ehlinger in the draft for next season? Leaves us the first pick for OT. I heard an interview with the Longhorn, seems pretty heady and smart. I’ll admit I watched next to noting in terms of Texas’ games this year.

2nd Team
Just throwing this out there , it was mentioned on the radio the other day that Chicago is the only mega metropolitan area not to have a second team. The Halas family name carries weight in the league I believe as long as Virginia is alive I can’t imagine someone breaching it, but isn’t it time for a second team? Just some offseason scuttle butt to kick around.

Yep they were it outside of Giff, Dandy Don, and Howard. Love that group!

Irv Cross
Just saw the news; Irv passed away. He was absolutely one of my favorites in the football broadcast business. He seemed like an outstanding human being. Rest In Peace Mr. Cross.

Russell Wilson
SiriusXM mentioned that Russell Wilson has pushed for a trade and mentioned teams he’s interested in. The Raiders were named; Carr could be in play?

Wentz to Colts
Does this break the dam on QB movement?

What would you do at QB?
Forgot about Flip, good insight-thanks!

Who you got?
Thanks I just choked on my beer!?
-
What would you do at QB?
Given that Hurts played and there seemed to be issues there with Wentz, obviously I’m not on the inside but where there is smoke there is fire?
-
What would you do at QB?
I know. I thought they were buddies , I would assume he’d give him the the skinny on Wentz.
-
Who you got?
So, as I start cooking our goodies for the game today wondering who everyone is pulling for ? I’m rooting for the Chiefs, I really like Mahomes and can’t wait to witness what his future holds. I’m obviously jealous of all these teams with such talent at QB. Hope you all enjoy the game, I know I will.

What would you do at QB?
If we’re in the market for retreads then inquire about Carr.

What would you do at QB?
Great, just great, when’s the guy been able to stay healthy enough? Doug Pederson must really hate Nagy to saddle him with Foles 2.0

Watching those videos I’d swear Joe soiled his tidys trying to figure out how to handle Lange.

Better, no tangible support of the statement, just a bunch.

Rodgers’ slo mo melt from the sideline the last two minutes was classic. Whining to the ref over and over; so typical of him. Honestly on the cosmic scale of favoritism from the refs, it still tilts heavily in their favor.

Golden, absolutely golden. Thank you!

Yep I was surprised too. I figured worse case they would get the ball back. Kevin King is going to have a sleepless night. But the gravy for me is that Rodgers is done for another year. Now I can enjoy the Super Bowl
