Yes and I’m very curious who we draft this year. Last year went well with a better coaching staff. Can we repeat in year two?

The number one talent needed to be successful is showing up to work. Unfortunately I'm so old I know that there is much more fire behind this smoke than just a single event being late to a meeting. His stats this season with an elite QB throwing him the ball back that up. While I know people can change, more often than not I find that a tiger never changes its stripes. Now I'm not saying I'd never touch him. I'd be willing to take a chance but wouldn't be banking on him being anything higher than WR5, or perhaps WR4, on my roster...and that comes on a no-risk contract. https://billswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bills/2025/11/29/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-keon-colemans-second-missed-game-scratch-nfl/87523218007/ The team confirmed it was a disciplinary decision. Coleman was late to a team meeting on Friday and was inactive on Sunday because of that.

He’s not any good. It’s just as soon roll with a draft pick

There is far too much over analysis of the DJ Moore situation focused on one or two plays. Everyone saw the pouty guy last year. New coaches come in and the first thing they tell him is to clean up his body language and effort. Every player was told to improve effort. Luther Burden too. Big plays, toughness, good hands… there are plenty of positives DJ brings to our team. Players may take routes off when it’s not their turn. I don’t like that. What I despise is when you make a mistake or see the mistake on the throw and you quit hustling and just let the safety get the INT uncontested. Personally I don’t have that give up gene in me and I’d have been diving on top of the DB to break up the pass. Personal quibbles aside this is purely a roster construction decision for me. The WR group will be better with DJ next year but if another option presents itself where the Bears overall are better without him then do it.

Excellent example of what can happen when you don’t quit.

I’d take that.

Rome played 5 games with a stress fracture in his foot. Then tried to come back early for the Packers game.

Early on this season he said pass rush doesn’t come from the edge it comes up the middle. I’ll assume bigger DEs that can do both run support and compress the pocket so there is no QB escape path.

His concussion injury was nearly as serious as they come. It took an immense amount of courage for him to get back on the field. It has impacted how he plays the game. I think even the rest of the league will look at him as a one year FA. however it shakes out this defense needs one more really good downhill player among the back 7. Kyle Gordon can be that guy on one side. Can add an impact LB or S will help to generate more negative plays.

I think the writing has been on the wall since training camp when they took routes off DJ and started having him take handoffs.

I expect the team will keep his prognosis quiet until after the draft. It’s the biggest leverage we have to keep teams guessing.

Maybe but there is not as much room to trade back and still get similar value when you start at 25.

He’s not very good against speed. Verse is a pure power rusher so that’s why they made that move.

He wasn’t very good against the Packers. I wish he had played like he did today all year long. It’s time for younger players.

Billings so he can make tackles 8 yards off the LOS? No we don't need that. If there is a stud safety there in Rd 2 I'm ok taking him there but logic says go DT/DE early.
