Chicago Bears offseason

[David]

Ah, I knew it was coming. Don't like it, but the Bears were due. And since they are a great attendance team, thankfully it's a road game for them so they still get 8 in Soldier Field.

 

Also means Khalil Mack may never play a true road game against his former team, as the Bears aren't due to be the road team against the Raiders for another 8 seasons.

The Bears were scheduled to play at the Raiders so there will still be 8 regular season home games at Soldier Field.

Why Fridge and Forte?

 

Because the Bears are a storied franchise with an insanely low number of storied players

i guess the fridge because he played with the london monarchs in nfl europe and forte because he had that sweet run against the bucs in the last london game?

 

idk. weird either way.

The Bears played a preseason game at Wembley in 1986 and the Fridge scored a TD (can't find a full box, but the below article)

Yea, and Forte went 25-145 with a TD in a win over the Bucs, also at Wembley:

The fridge era bears started the concept of the nfl in London.

 

Also, I love this. Really hope it’s an early morning game. I might have to go.

Yeah, I misread it. Thought it said hopefully. I’m still half asleep. Forgive me.

Is this London game confirmed?

yes

yes

 

I guess I will be saving money by not going to that game if the Raiders do choose to play in San Diego next year. It might be fun going to a Raiders/Chargers game with the Chargers being the visitors.

I've been a "Parkey's probably back because they owe him too much money" guy. But today proved you can't bring Parkey back, man. Dude made a 57 yard FG (that would have been good from 70) to send his team to the Superbowl in sudden death on the road. You can't be a great team and have a questionable kicker. Robbie Gould back would be nice, but he'd have to take a significantly lower salary than he'd demand on the open market. But honestly, I'd use a draft pick on that kicker from Utah, Matt Gay. Has a fantastic leg and made something like 5 of 6 over 50 yards in 2017 and I think a 58 yarder this year.

 

its good you see the errors in your ways. also, I think it was just a 56 yarder, and he's kicking in Utah. Can he hit those closer to sea level with consistency?

Well and also because there will be no Oakland based team after next season (or possibly not even next season)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Forte really likes tea and crumpets, and the fridge has really bad teeth

Why Fridge and Forte?

 

They're both English?

Mitch will replace Goff in the Pro Bowl

Just imagine if they would have picked Juju Smith Schuster instead of Adam Shaheen with their 2nd rounder.

Aside from the obvious "we have a pro-bowl wr named JuJu", who would they not have grabbed the next year? My guess is that they wouldn't have signed Robinson, maybe, but I think its more likely they wouldn't have drafted Miller because they needed to trade for the pick.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I'm not mixing up the drafts at all, I'm just suggesting the outcome of last years draft could have been greatly affected if they had drafted JuJu the year before. That, or maybe the Robinson signing doesn't happen.

Yeah I reread your next post and realized what you meant so I deleted. That was fast, I had it deleted within 15 seconds of posting

Probably wouldn't have either. Hypothetically, the WR group would have likely been

 

Juju

White (more prominent role)

Gabriel

Bellamy

Wims (bigger role)

 

And maybe a slot WR in free agency.

 

But the point was they probably should have had 4 pro bowlers from the 2017 draft. Juju was at worst the 2nd best player left on my board (I know the Bears don't use or even care about my board). And WR was a bigger need than TE.

Its been like this for a while. It's been long overdue to kill it. Have an all pro team and some type of Awards show.

I don't care about the Pro Bowl at all and wouldn't care either way if it was ended, but it's not like they pulled his name out of a hat he was listed as an alternate back on the day the rosters were released.
