Boo. Let me see what else I can try.

Final refresh is all done.

Mongo - try clearing your cookies/cache on your phone. It looks like your dns hasn’t yet fully kicked over to new server (for some internet providers it can take a bit longer)…but it should get better in next couple days and clearing cookies may take instantaneous.

Final steps are going to happen today

Evidently Albert Breer was reporting today that the Bears have been in touch with Ngakoue's reps recently. I have to imagine he is there plan B - depending on how things shake out. I don't know how much he has left - but got to imagine Bears could get him between 5-7M for 1YR. He has flaws - but not bad from a depth perspective and you don't feel bad if other guys play their way into his role (in fact you prefer it). I presume he would be the passing down end - and it would allow you to slide Walker inside on those plays.

Lol

Knocking on wood so you don’t jinx us haha

Chiefs have announced they are sitting all of their starters. No word yet from the Bears. I presume the starters will sit though.

One caveat - we will have a minor outage later this week; Fingers crossed this should be a pretty minimal one (1-2 hours max). The big lift is behind us and Az - we held it up a few days for you and were able to ensure no posts being lost

With us on the new server and new software - please let us know how it is working. If you are running into any issues let us know. My immediate reaction is wow is this site running fast. I also recognize we will have some hiccups as the dns propagates.

Let’s get to this game healthy and let this be the start of a truly new era of Bears football - one that puts the Bears back on the map as a truly elite franchise!!!

Sweet - glad to see its working smoothly. Upgraded server for what is hopefully the most DOMINANT era in Bears football that is about to start!!!

Hardy has shown a good motor. I think if it weren't for the Booker hype we'd hear more about Hardy. With that said - booker and Hardy's production has been against back-ups so I think we need to take it all in stride. I am a bit intrigued about the UDA Linebacker from UCLA. He has some real tools (sub 4.5 40 speed) and is making a shift from being an undersized linemen to LB. I am hoping he'll be able to stick on special teams and than continue to develop from there.

Can you confirm you can see this and no issues. If you can see this - you are officially on the upgraded forum and seeing our new server. We finished our server migration and upgrade today. I will note that you may run into some issues in next 24-48 hours as we are on a new server - so your computer at home or work may access the site perfectly fine while your phone doesn't (or vice versa). Just let me know if you are running into any issues. Additionally - if you want to test post on here just to make sure everything is humming along that would be awesome.

That td he threw to Rome was real pretty (despite Rome being out). Drive before was good too - that was a dime to Tyler Scott (on the pass interference). If he isn’t interfered with that might have been a 50 yard td. He was definitely rushing things and had a few spots where him rushing caused his footwork and mechanics to be rushed but there were a few special throws / plays in there too.

It’s good - he need experience and starting out rough and bouncing back at end is good. Look at what Stroud did in his final preseason game last year (hint: it wasn’t pretty)

Yeah - it will be like within the window that the migration happens. Ideally I would get done before the game but I don't know that the server will be migrated by than. And it would be the recent commentary.

That sucks - really like JJ.

FYI - Upgrade ran into issues (no site outages - just some stuff on back end before we could get launched). It will likely be this weekend. We will also be migrating to a new, faster and more efficient server at the same time. For the record - I could take an approach and shut down and do some conversions to minimize lost posts (but with a bit more outage) - but will probably opt to just migrate over and instead of shutting this site down for a period post migration to make sure I basically reback up the database - will instead just live with 1-2 days of lost posts in order to maximize up time for the site (this should mean, *knock on wood*, minimal site downtime, but at some point when we switch over we'll lose about 1-2 days worth of posts in between the server migration. Note: The data base is large so I could restore it all - but that would require site down 4-12 hours for migration + than another 4-8 hours for the upgrade. I'll drop a note just as a heads up around the ballpark time that we'll get it rolling. My guess is it will be over the weekend - ideally after the game or on Sunday.

I’m excited to get to the regular season though!!!

I was happy with the preseason game - bears looked good. It’s preseason though and I’m trying to temper my expectations. I still remember Mitch’s first preseason game - that was the single greatest I ever saw a Bear qb throw the ball….what good did that do hahaha

Want this site humming for a new dominant era haha. My guess is site will be down for an hour or two.

Running a quick upgrade on site - should be back up later tonight but will be back online quickly.

Plus if he walks at end of year, you should get comp pick back.

Yeah my guess is he plays a half in each of the 2 preseason games he plays. Try to make sure he gets a 2 minute drill and maybe in one of games have him come out and play one drive in a 3rd quarter (maybe game 3).
