Anything helps. It looks like coaching matters, Detroit doesnt look good w/o BJ.

.Lions definitely doesnt look like the same team without BJ and Glenn.

There is no doubt he is the best QB out of that class so far but after 3 yrs we need to look back and see what happens. Footnote: Justin Fields is playing well.

To double down on that (Braxton) , BJ said he looked good in practice with consistency and then ( KC game), he said he got lazy in his technique.

Braxton is our LT for now. Is he a good LT? Very average by NFL standards. BJ looks at players and want perfection. Can Braxton look better with better play calling? Can Thuney playing next to him make him look better? Can Caleb getting the ball out quicker help Braxton? We get to see in real time if any of this applies.

This prediction of the record , game by game seems realistic to me. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/chicago-bears-news/97583/predicting-every-chicago-bears-game-in-2025

Ty Dunn wrote a 3 part article about 2024 Bears and it throws Caleb under the bus. I read where one coach that is quoted said this was not suppose to be public. The writer lied to get quotes. It makes Celeb look very bad. Throws Poles under the bus also. I have only seen some quotes and the article comes out Monday. My opinion is some things are true and some things are opinion. He made this a sensational article to get clicks. We have Ben Johnson now and everything is going well, I could care less what is true and not true. BJ came here because of Caleb and its all a new year , the sh+t show left last year with the coaches.

Its like finally here and then you're the last game played in the week. In the preseason I seen a lot of shotgun, I expect much more under center stuff. He will scheme to attack the weaknesses in the defense, and has plenty of weapons to work with. I to think BJ will have some designed runs for Caleb. A lot of quick passes and roll outs. It will be a lot of run run run.

I think it will be similar, two teams running the ball a lot, lower scoring game.

I didnt realize that Chirstian Darrisaw hasnt played in any preseason games and had limited practices. Coming off of knee surgery last year may not be ready to go. Addison out, JJefferson may not be at 100% and with Darrisaw possibly not playing , I feel a lot better about our chances.

I realized Sanborn was starting and was happy for him. I liked him its just DA loves speed and that's the only thing he didnt have.

Saying this board is about sniping and being bitches is a treasure coming from the only person on here that does it weekly. The Reason: because you think anyone that disagrees with you are stupid and being jerks. You think because you watch tape that everyone is wrong because you are great at it. You gave good content but you let your ego get the best of you and the first person to start name calling other members. Its okay to say (you think Braxton sucks) but most of the football world calls him an average NFL tackle, not good not bad. If you going to play in the world of adults you have to learn to accept people that disagree with you and stop creating wars because of a different opinion. The only thing I regret was when you called me a pedophile and I didnt go thru with the defamation suit. I was leaving for Thailand and the private detective service in AZ was going to cost me 2500 to get your private information. I didnt thing it was worth the trouble to call you out on a discussion board because of your radical behavior.

The real game starts Monday, let the games begin. We all have opinions and people disagree, it's the getting personal that has always bothered me. No place for that on a sports forum. None of us know each in a personal nature, so any name calling is just part of the cloud . I like the good old days when everything was face to face and settling differences was simple. The Internet just doesn't work that way.

I thought playing for the Eagles , he would have matured by now but doesnt appear to be so.

A player got injured on the kickoff of the Eagles / Cowboys game. While they were waiting for the game to start, Jalen Carter walked up to Dak Prescott and spit in his face. Got ejected. WTF

Sorry, I trust many opinions over your tape watching ability but none of that matters . Its only matters what the Bears coaching staff thinks and for now, he is our starter. So you dont put words in my mouth, he is very average, I hope he plays better.

we tried out 10 players today. https://nfltraderumors.co/bears-tried-out-11-players-including-veteran-ot-zach-banner/

Im going by 50 different football pundits that said that. People that played football, coached football or announced it for yrs. You're entitled to your opinion and its okay if lots of people disagree with you. Its just opinions.

Dalman is probably not the third best OC in the NFL but but he is top 10 and is a huge upgrade for what we had. We have an out in two yrs if we can develop someone. Newman has taken some center snaps and I still think Ricky Stromberg has upside. I dont care if we gave him big money,. he is a key to our line improving.

I dont think their first choice will be to trade someone, they will play with contracts. Edmunds contract has an out next year saving 15 mil with 2.4 dead money. If Sewell or Hyppo is ready they may go that route. I think BJ having a bevy of weapons will be reluctant to start getting rid of them. If Burden is ready to fly, Zacchaous is the slot WR on a one year deal and his spot is open. If Caleb is the real deal , we will have the best set of weapons in the league with DJ, Rome, Burden, Loveland and Kmet.

I have played with you for a long time now and an complementing on being good at this. I use to be in 6 leagues and there is always a few people that consistently do well and you are in that category.

I hope he balls out but I dont think he will ever be a tier 1 LT, if he makes top 12 I would be excited. Will that be enough for BJ, dont know that but if he plays well enough for the offense to function is all I care about.

I've been playing FF from before the internet where you had to go to bars to make leagues up. Consistent winners in FF are not about being lucky, you're very smart at this and trying to be humble isnt going to work. Injuries affect every team during the year. This one friend is in 22 FF money drafts. He doesnt win every league but is in the money placing in 1/3 his leagues. That's not about luck most of the time, its about being smart.

Obviously someone will start. I remember you stated , you want to see it, well now you get to, no more assumptions. Braxton is by NFL standards an average NFL starter, of course we want to see better. Joe Thuney has not played any preseason games, I think next to Braxton will help him play better. Now BJ will be scheming plays that will make Braxton look better. If Caleb gets the ball out in 2.4 seconds it will nullify the pass rush. Everyone wants all pros at every position, roster building is not an easy task.

I think what all of this tells us is we have depth finally. Last year was a shit show on the OL especially when we had to go to back ups. JJ is suppose to start, he practiced yesterday. Not sure if he will be 100% but I suspect a 80% is better than 100% of Wright. We also have to remember Jefferson isnt a 100% yet, no Addison. The key will be putting pressure on McCarthy, we get to see what Dennis Allen brings to the table.
