Pritzker has actually been the main holdup. The Chicago mayor has been desperate to help. Under Pritzkers leadership the Bears were told nothing would be considered in 2026. Both of them are bloviating grandstanders though. Windy City to the core.

Yes. Not only do you get the lake effect, you get the surrounding area. No more egress problems. The stadium can be built any way they want. Tailgating will be off the chain. The surrounding blocks will be 100% entertainment based. The game experience will become a weekend long event. Nobody does this stuff better than the Hoosier State!

👍🏽🙏

Why do you say coin flip? They repair patellar tendons all the time.

Indiana has offered to purchase the land and build the stadium to the Bear's specifications. The Bears take years to pay off the stadium, then own it in full. While the Bears pay for the stadium, they pay no taxes. Illinois can't compete...

Agreed. NW Indiana is actually close than Arlington. You can see downtown from the proposed location. Indiana will develop all around it too. (With Chicago money). I'll buy season tickets if they build here.

Good stuff AZ54. Prayers continue for your wife. On the temp related note, it's true. Extreme cold and heat have an adverse effect. Miami has an advantage in the heat and they capitalize on it. The visitors sit in the sun while they sit in the shade. (Stadium built that way). I remember going to Cabo and Puerto Rico and taking the entire vacation to get acclimated to the heat. My buddy came up from Missouri over Thanksgiving and was freezing while I was in shorts and t shirt and we're both the same size. Games like this don't affect the hitters as much as it does the hittees. After that adrenaline kicks in to help. All told, I'm guessing 10% advantage...

I'm the meantime Arlington Heights has gone from overly demanding to begging... https://abc7chicago.com/post/arlington-heights-officials-make-push-keep-chicago-bears-illinois-teams-looks-build-stadium/18414036/?fbclid=IwdGRzaAPXX99jbGNrA9dfkWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHivqDP75iHNXJXZI11VcRjkHCwXSEplnQ2U49uV6A-T4bEu10vs09T6jIaGL_aem_pEzyNpjehP_xP9Jd9DZrtA

Random news from the homeland. We are already ahead of Illinois to help with the new stadium...

I don't this guy's credentials, but he is damn good. Very impressive stuff...

Who caught the Minnesota Miracle?

Caleb is one of one, ever. I can say this because the 4th and 8 pass to the left was the first time I've ever seen a throw like that. (Not even Mahommes). While Caleb is inaccurate and doesn't see the open guy too much, he has that Reggie Miller (unconscious) mode. Thanks Stinger. It drives me nuts. Do I like other QBs better? Yes, but only three. Young QBs, only one. Would I trade him for that guy? He'll no. Caleb is a part of us now! He's like Tin Cup, as in he may give us the greatest thing we've ever seen, but to fall short. In this chapter of my life, I love it.

As Lucky ends it all...🤪🤌🏽🤌🏽

I'm too old for this shit. Wow!

Rome, Braxton, Kyler, Jahdae and Ozzy were full participants today. Burden is not even on the injury report. CJGJ dnp and will likely be out with concussion.

Same here. I bet a parlay every week and have won more than I should. Plus, I have a big money fantasy football league that I was fortunate to have won. We've done that league for for 27 years. Same guys. We're blessed to have lasted that long.

I bet games every week. If anyone looks at Monday and Tuesday they can see the Bears were -1 to -1.5 via Draft Kings and MGM. It's not worth the useless dialog...

The key search term is "opening line"

I believe the odds opened at -1 to -1.5 Bears. It depends on the book.

That's not how it works. Vegas changes because the betters are betting for the Packers.

I'm with you. On a side note: we were supposed to get an easier schedule, but ended playing the hardest on the NFL. Goes to show how quickly things can change.

all the time our offense was on the bench could have been scoring opportunities for us and not them. while 19 points sounds reasonable, and is, it's the riding time and the stupid play calls by their coach. add one freaky intto that also. The offense could have counted the Lions TOP with one of their own. Didn't happen. Defense did NOT lose the game. Team effort...

The bold above, I vehemently disagree with. Edmunds has never played at an all pro level. He just happened to be at the right place at the right time. He's never made a play that makes him look special. He may be the best five yard gain tackler I've ever seen. Everything else is spot on, IMO.

It didn't come down to average because we caused the most turnovers. Not defending the D, but they play a scheme that depends on turnovers. Our front seven doesn't match the scheme yet.

This team has an identity that needs to change. We haven't scored a first drive TD since the Bengals game. The team has bought into Caleb, to the point, they they think can turn it on and win at any time. Hey, that's great, but not sustainable. We don't want or need to live by the sword. A sense of controlled urgency needs to happen on every play. Otherwise, you die by the sword...
