I saw Kid Rock at Stugis in 2024 for the first time, very entertaining. Definitely will watch the alternative choice. Because of baseball talk, I have been listening to more music lately and heard Creed several times, now I know why. I only saw them once but seen Alter Bridge with Mark Tremonti many times. Those are the music choices I prefer.

I think we have a good group of coaches and will address some problems we have and make it better. Not sure we can become a demon defense against the run but at least get us to a level of average. It appears that we will have everyone back but Grady Jarrett. Not referring to the players on season ending injuries. Adjustments and health should give us a boost. We have a new LT. BJ has a better effort from everyone and Jones didnt get better. Blame in the injury it doesnt matter it wasnt good enough. Beno now gets his shot. I dont think they think he will be a world beater but at least have the chance to grow and be better every week. He had some bad moments against Crosby but also some good ones and that's what they are banking on with Theo. As last year's Washington game was the blow up moment for that team, I think the block FG will be that moment for this year's team. I think all of the games are going to come down to the last five minutes of a game this year and we now have confidence and a QB that excels in that moment. It should get us a winning season.

As I see the point of the NFL trying to expand their base, that does not mean I agree with it. I think in any marketing decision, you should always pick what the majority likes. As you see their seems to be a focus on the halftime show when it should always be about the game. The NFL has made bad choices in the past and dont expect that to stop.

I expect a better effort in the run game but if we hold them under 125, I would be happy. Its going to be about how many points we score, a better defense will just be a bonus.

That makes sense, they have the old folk they are trying to get the younger people to pay attention. It doesnt make who is playing the halftime show, I will only watch artists I like anyway.

Good post. This is the critical year that lifts Poles or buries him. If we end up with a winning record it changes the course of his legacy. He has plenty of misses on his record, but he has some hits to. He will be remembered for hiring BJ and drafting Caleb, not all the third round misses. He came in here with a big job, we were in cap hell and lots of old players with heavy contracts. He changed the cap situation immediately by getting rid of older players that made us a bad team and didnt have a first round pick Inherited Justin Fields. With Fields career going in the wrong direction, we had two terrible yrs, as expected by the previous roster construction. He came in here saying it would take 5 yrs to turn this around, we are in yr 4. 2022 draft gave us Brisker , Gordon, a 3 yr starter at LT in a 5th round pick Braxton Jones, and a 7th round pick in a good backup Elijah Hicks. Dom Robinson is still hear but will be judged by this year's progress. This is yr 4 of that draft and the proper time( IMO) to judge his draft. C seems fair when you count he didnt have a first round pick. You cant expect injuries as far as any of these draft picks. He also added as UDFA Jack Sanborn and Jaylon Jones that ended up plus players. Im not going to go thru all of his drafts but overall going into this yr, I give him a C- but that grade could change if we end up having a winning season . Something I find questionable is people throwing out who we could have drafted that flourished after our drafted players. You can take any GM in the league and do that to make them look bad. Maybe the Ravens would be the only team that is on a plus side of that debate. Recently the Lions have been doing well also. I give him credit for fixing the cap-the big trade that gave us several blue players-hiring BJ-drafting Caleb . This is the year to determine his proper grade his 4th yr in his rebuild and will wait to make a final grade. The only thing that matters is if we become a winning team and as A Bear said, this yr has a long way to go to determine his legacy.

My all time favorite group. With them its about the music. It's hard to imagine they started their elaborate stage show back in the early 70's. Seen them at Camp Randall Stadium in 1996.

I hit the ignore button, so I dont see any of his responses anymore. Clearly he went out of his way to raise the heat for just having a different opinion.. When someone tells you they dont like the way you word a comment or complains about my grammar, its way deeper than just disagreeing with a opinion. It was so peaceful when he gave the finger to the site and left then two weeks later comes back and then the same old crap. Life is hard enough and a lot harder when you're behavior is stupid.

The biggest demographic of NFL supports would be similar to our age group. How many young people are on here? I would say more of a 35's on up? I Have never heard of Bad Bunny and I travel a lot overseas. I dont think its political who they put on the half times shows, I think the NFL is trying to expand its market and would pick someone like this for that reason. Classic type performers that transcend all age groups would attract the most viewers for the half time show but people will turn off it if they dont know the performers. JayZ has a partnership with the NFL since 2019 and sets up the entertainment. I watched Sharika and Rihanna but could care less about the others. Some of the most watched are the recent ones but the popularity of the NFL brings record numbers. K. Lamar set the record with 133 mil viewers but to compare the difference Michael Jackson had 133 mil back in 1993. My favorite: Whitney Houston, Prince and U2. Back in the day I preferred Tom Petty-Kid Rock-Rolling Stones-The Who. I go to a lot of concerts and would have loved to have seen Pink Floyd play a SB, it would have been hard to set their show up in real time because its massive. Was lucky enough to have seen them once. Super Bowl LVII (2023): Rihanna. Super Bowl LVI (2022): Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige. Super Bowl LV (2021): The Weeknd. Super Bowl LIII (2020): Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin. Super Bowl LII (2019): Maroon 5, with guests Travis Scott and Big Boi. Super Bowl LVIII (2024): Usher, with guests Alicia Keys, Jermaine Dupri, H.E.R., will.i.am, Lil Jon, and Ludacris

Here's a video that shows Monangai and explains a few carries that affects his overall stats. He had one where they blitz and caught him in the backfield that cost him a 7 yard loss and a 11 run that was called back with a holding call (questionable) that didnt get into his stats.

I would love to have all three but with Crosby being paid 106 mil over the next 3 yrs, and Simmons-75 mil those seem out of reach plus the players or picks it would cost. Hall is in his last yr of his contract but Allen is our for most of the season, so Isaiah Davis is the only other RB besides Hall. He has never been over 1000 yds in his first 3 yrs. He is better than Swift but are they ready to cash the season in after 5 games? They have a first yr coach, not sure he is ready to give up yet. He was in Detroit when they went 1-6 and finish 9-8. Hall and Swift would be a good duo but I dont think Jets are ready to dumb players. They have 13 on the injury list with several ready to come back. I think decisions will be made at the trading deadline on Nov 4th, so they get a better read of how the season goes. After going 2-2, and players coming off injury, I think the Bears will see how the next 4 games go before they make changes.

I cant wait for Monday to come. On X and Youtube, lots of people saying we are linked to different players to bring in on the DL and RB. I dont know if we have the answer on the team but Im not sure the Bears are in emergency mode to go after someone or that someone is actually available that could help. Latest I seen was Cam Jordan. He has two sacks and would not be expensive . Basically would be around 7 mil left on salary but NO has never stated they want to dump contracts. In 5 games he has 2 sacks but at 36 does DA want to give him snaps that he would give to Austin Booker that will be back this week? Being 2-2 and having several players coming back from injury, I think they roll with what they have an if things dont improve, maybe try to find someone at the trading deadline. I dont think they are quite in panic mode just yet.

2018 is hard to beat with Jackson , Allen, and Mayfield. Mayfield after not standing out early in his career has been a stud this year on late minute wins. Hopefully, Caleb ends up being that guy.

I agree Phi and Det are the elite right now but like Balt has shown with lots of injuries things can change quickly. Ravens have been terrible after having 6 defensive starters out, we had 4 to remind people of our woes. The rest of our schedule has winnable games. With defensive players coming back, I expect better play from them. Keep in mind JJ and Terrell Smith are out for the season which doesnt help our cause. Going forward I think our OL will find a substance of consistency and be okay. Even with a question at LT, I think the rest of the line will have a jell moment and improve. I seen a PFF video and heard them say we had the 10th ranked OL, since I cant access PFF, can anyone verify that? I dont care for much of their grading but they say Denver and Buffalo have the best lines, so they have some sense of reality. I think we have more carries from Monangai and the players back on D, will help us win some more games. The key to the season is still Caleb and his progress.

From year to year, the preseason predictions always change. I'm very curious what changes BJ can make in us running the ball and do a better job at stopping the run. I think everyone will be healthy but JJ on defense so that should help. I think Monangai gets more touches.

I attempted to do this once before and couldnt find a block action, but ignore works too. Its done, good luck to the rest of the members, I dont have to deal with toxicity anymore. I never have a problem with dumb or stupid but the day he crossed the line calling me a pedophile, not one word from anyone yet the bickering annoys you.

Done I will do that but I was curious how you would deal with the same situation? I dont think you would just block that person and not have anything to say.

I totally get it All I did was post a video and asked peoples opinion and you see what developed. Do you just not want me to respond when PHX elevates the conversation? Its hard for me to let someone jump down my throat for their own created assumption. I will not respond to anything he posts but then when I respond to someone else posts he jumps in on those conversations. I have gotten personal but it was only after numerous attempts to calm the situation down. If I attacked you on just having an opinion that might be different from mine, how would you react? Saying I dont like the way you said that? You were using the wrong grammar? A difference of opinion from 2 yrs ago gets brought up to start and argument? Call you stupid , an idiot, a pedophile. Really, how would you deal with that? Thank you for bringing this up, so the board can show their displeasure for such unwanted talk on a fans board.

Totally agree, but if we arent good enough yet to dominates, I'll take a win .

This is your thought process, (It's all really stupid. You may hate me, but that doesnt mean Im objectively toxic. It just means you cant stand me. Cool.) I said I dont like you, you mentioned (hate), this is where everything gets elevated , you constantly are putting words in my mouth. I have no problem saying hate it I actually meant that. We agree this is stupid. Lets talk about current events and stop your pulling up conversations from 2 yrs ago, 2 months ago and you wont see conversations get elevated.

I agree but I'll take wins any way we can . Injures , getting lucky. Our dominate time is coming next year and the year after once Caleb is fully up to par.

I dont like you but Im not trying to have a war with you. You just started this because I supported Fields WHILE he was our QB? When we left that argument, 2 years ago, you said he was terrible and would never be a legitimate QB in the NFL. Last time I checked he was starting for the Jets. As soon as Justin was traded, i then jumped on Caleb's bandwagon. I saw his potential an am all in on him. You need to learn that everyone that doesnt agree with you is not trying to fight with you,, just have a different opinion. Life is hard, its a lot harder when you act stupid. Now this is a derogator statement and I know you are not stupid but your attitude on this site is clearly stupid. We just have opinions , we're not throwing grenades' at each other.

This has all started again for something so stupid. I just posted a video. According to BFPHX , by having a different opinion I am attacking him. It is very simple, have an opinion give your reasons. I will have my opinion and give mine. When you push the conversation, I double down on mine. There is literally no malice in that kind of disagreement but of course you force there to be. Just stop, can you just have a normal post for at least one week please. At 73 I look for peace and tranquility. You give valuable content on here but its okay for people to have different opinions. Stop making everything a war.

Chicago Bears Linked To Landing Jeffery Simmons In Latest Insider Report. I see stuff like this all the time. We paid Grady Jarrett money to come here, now some Bears pundit suggests we go trade for whoever they think would be a good addition. He is owned 72 mil over the next 3 yrs. He would be great to have, but I dont think the Bears will do this. I get we need help but it is going to have to come from within. If it doesnt make us a winning team this year then condemn Poles. When you trade for someone , you have to give up something and a 3 time pro bowler couldnt get bought for a 6 th round pick. Next year they will have 84 mil in cap space so paying Simmons is not an issue at all.
