At this point, I’m pretty sure NGS and RAS cause Ben an erection.

Same. I haven’t said a word. Keep protecting Caleb at all costs.

In the history of the NFL and pro football, this has always been fact. Amazing, all-pro DBs eventually get burned if the DL provides no pressure. On the other hand, average DBs can look great if the DL gives the QB no time at all. Pressure on the QB will always supersede great coverage. Having said that, I really like the Thieneman pick!

Right? I don’t give a damn about pools or RAS or anything that shows extreme athleticism if the player was just average otherwise on the football field. Fencik over Archuletta.

LOL. That dude is stiff as hell. He stands straight up like someone who has lower back issues and needs to stretch out. I see why he wasn’t drafted.

Didn’t read messages. This is a complete WTF pick. I don’t care what anyone says. There were still needs at this point.

So the Bears end up with a DL of Sweat, Sweat, Jarrett, Sweat? 🤣 I like it.

Terrible Super Bowl. One of the worst ever. So boring.

100% concur. Caleb seems to be a fastball pitcher only. It’s great and works a lot. Reminds me of Nolan Ryan early in his career. But just like ole’ Nolan, gotta develop the off speed pitch to be great.

My reply was more related to the “bell cow” remark. Had Loveland not been drafted, there is a great chance Kmet is that guy. But if the contract is deemed too rich for his production, then it comes down to his choice when asked to restructure. I think he’s likely to choose leaving Chicago hoping to prove he can be the number one, big target TE.

Problem: Kmet was on trajectory to be given bell for targets and stats. He likely won’t want to stay as option 5-6 on the Bears.

I don’t think that’s fair to Kmet. He absolutely got screwed in terms of advancement and improved stats when the Bears drafted Loveland, and then made Loveland a primary target. If they hadn’t drafted Loveland, there is no doubt that Kmet would have received a bunch of Loveland’s 80+ targets. I think if the Bears hadn’t drafted Loveland, we would all be talking about Kmet having a huge breakout year, at or near 1000yds.

I’d rather have continued OL dominance and Swift, versus a porous OL and Gibbs.

Laughable. I’m sure it’s in large part to fan voting being overwhelming. Like when William Hung and Sanjaya advanced in singing competitions, and the public decided Boaty McBoatfa e was a good name, for anything.

Like always, I’m opposed to a RB with just about any day 1 pick, and most day 2 picks. Build the OL - as we have seen - and late round RBs can excel. Besides, RBs are not a real need at this point, they age like milk in the sun, and there are bigger holes to fill.

Respectfully disagree. He can obviously win jump balls, knows how to find soft spots in the zone, can fight through contested catches, excels at the back should reception, has very sure hands, and is difficult to tackle. He reminds me in many ways of Brandon Marshall. Watch this and tell me you don’t see talent.

Maybe he’s just not as good as the others? Maybe not the best at relaying his ideas, his plans, the future of prospective organizations? Who knows? From his first year as a scout in 2013 to being even considered for GM jobs seems like a fairly meteoric rise. These are billions of dollars being discussed with NFL organizations. Do you really believe they care more about the racial percentage of someone in a GM role when 75% of their players are black and there are billions of dollars on the line?

I don’t how the specifics would work, but given the disparity in contracts, maybe the Bears should call Buffalo and talk to them about a DJ Moore for Keon Coleman trade. That would get DJ’s primary money off the Bears, remove an issue (for those who believe it to be), and do the same for the Bills. I could see how both sides may view this as win-win. Thoughts on this?

I don’t know if you’re being tongue-in-cheek, or maybe even sarcastic, but I’m backing you up either way. i don’t recall him quitting on more than two total plays that have been brought up. That’s counting the Rans play. Furthermore, I second the team support being paramount. Bears above any player. But I’m of the belief that the bears should not tinker with offensive weapons this offseason after such a tremendous offensive swing this year. Fixing the D should be priorities 1-3.

HOLY SHIT

Brutal drop by Burden. Loveland bailed him out.

Yes. Throwing to an offensive lineman in crunch time is a terrible idea. Too cute. Just run a play that they are great at.

Can’t blame the defense on this one. They’ve been outstanding. Basically shut down one of the best offenses in the NFL. The Bears should be tied or down by 4 at the 2:00 warning. If not even better considering other mistakes.

3/G at the 2, and we can’t get in? That’s rough. Still running between the tackles to no success. Collinsworth is right…gotta get Caleb in space so he can get more time and place the defense in danger of run.

Agree. The Bears have hurt themselves quite a bit in this game.
