Excited for the game…let’s go Bears!!!

I hope you are right. I think our d is overhyped. Dline has serious flaws in my opinion that prevent it from being top 5. They will have room to beef up via next draft and / or free agency (just like the oline)…but I think this is more a 5-10 defense than a top 5 due to in my opinion a mediocre dline.

Welcome aboard - let’s go Bears!!!

Will be curious to see who they pick up tomorrow. Clear there will be a bit more churn still. Not overly surprised though with any of the moves - other than say Stroman and Carter. For those wondering - Hosmer sticks around not because he is a good running back but because he’s a really good special teams player. Carl Jones is a guy I liked at Lb so hope to see him make practice squad.

Should caveat know nothing about the player.

We needed a dt - and we had lots of 6th/7th rounders so totally fine with this.

Does your WIFI use a VPN by chance? I know VPN can take a bit longer to fully cycle through the "new address" changes that happened.

I know what your issue is - I had it briefly on my phone (but no the relogin) but where you get the site is down message. When you are getting that message - your phone is still looking to its old history - which is pointing you to the old server (meaning it is just going off of memory of where talkbears was located in the past (underneath the name there is an address the basically points the domain name to the specific IP the server is at). Right now it just keeps thinking your home is that old server (which is still up and will be shut down in another day or two)....it just needs to work itself out of that funk - for 99% of the cases that happens within first 24 hours. For others it can be as long as 72 hours. In your case it seems to be persisting longer - which is really frustrating. If you haven't already, try the below instructions from your google phone:

That shows up if you try password and fail a couple times. What browser do you use? Is this only on mobile? Or you running into any issue on computer?

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)
