2021 Bears season

[Outshined_One]

i sound like an horsefeathers when i was just trying to be a smart ass.

 

I don't think I've ever seen a statement better sum up most of NSBB's posters than this one. Well done. =D>

people don't look back at the 2011-12 seasons fondly enough because of that stuff. those were very good teams.

 

 

Yeah that 2011 team seemed to be on fire right when Cutler got hurt. Maybe its the Bears not the Giants who beat the Patriots that year if Cutler doesn't try to make that tackle.

 

2012 they started 7-1 but seemed to run out of gas. I went to that Titans game in Nashville 55-10 or something like that, what a party that was.

yeah, the offense seemed to really be finding its stride when cutler broke his thumb. i know martz had flaws and all and didn't get along great with cutler, but i was disappointed when they replaced him with tice. things were trending upward until they had to play caleb.

Danny Trevathan is likely going on the short term injured list. Ogletree will start alongside Roquan against the Rams.

[WrigleyField 22]

So Trevathan and Jenkins to IR.

 

Perriman and Burns to the 53 man.

 

But they also apparently got a waiver claim on a WR/KR from the 49ers, so we'll see at least one more cut/waive or IR to finish that claim. Eyes on ILB or TE I assume.

[UMFan83]

Lol damn the Bears waived Rodney Adams

[minnesotacubsfan]

Ok. horsefeathers Nagy

[WrigleyField 22]

I mean every year I think it's tradition for Bears fans to overhype a 6th WR, but Adams did seem like he earned a spot. I'm sure he'll clear waivers and land on the PS.

Why is Foles still on this team??????

[WrigleyField 22]

Why is Foles still on this team??????

Couldn't unload him in a trade and all his money is guaranteed this year.

I’m the guy that stated without a doubt the Bears are more or less the Cowboys the past 25 years but don’t get nearly enough credit for it. At least nowhere near the credit the Cowboys get for whatever reason they get a ton more praise.

 

 

I’ve got to work on my brand recognition if this is the thing people believe about me.

*nearly enough credit* just means the Cowboys have gotten too much credit right?

 

Stylistically very different though. The 2 Cowboys QBs in the 21st century would be both in top 3 of Bears QBs all time.

substance

Bears have done as well as Dallas but for some reason people pretend dallas has been a quality program this whole time and the bears a joke. The Lovie era is grossly undervalued. Who gives a horsefeathers about style points when it’s no better at the end of the day?

 

From my perspective, people make fun of the last 25 years of Dallas more than anybody. For example, the meme that went around showing that Brady has more NFC Championship game appearances than Dallas does during Brady's career. The Garrett era was a constant joke. I agree that the Lovie era is underrated in the national stage though.

who pretends dallas has had a quality program?

 

they've been a national joke for like 20-25 years. they get ratings (so do the bears), but in my experience the cowboys just get made fun of a lot. if anything, romo took more crap than he deserved. garret was constantly criticized and the mccarthy hiring was ridiculed too.

 

at best, they come off a little better than the bulls have since their 90s glory. maybe it's just the people i talk sports with, though?

Every national broadcast Cowboys game frames them as a perennial contender while they only refer to the Bears struggles at QB. The fact that Dallas has had 2 nationally respected guys at QB while the Bears have had none makes a lot of people think the Cowboys have won a hell of a lot more in the same timeframe. When I brought this up a couple years ago people were aghast at the comparison, just assuming Dallas had a lot more success than they did.

you must be watching different broadcasts than i am

 

but yes, the bears qb struggles are talked about ad nauseum (so is their history with defenses and linebackers and blah blah blah)

I'm in 100% agreement with jersey. It seems like every year I hear how talented, or well constructed or poised the Dallas Cowboys are to make a run at a SB and every year they fall flat on their face. I think most of it is coming from the NYC media troupes, but not all of it

[David]

what the hell bizarro world football coverage are you guys actually watching?

[minnesotacubsfan]

I'm not sure anymore, but one reason I post here is to be directed to more reasonable takes, I really appreciate it!

[Old Style]

My friend is telling me that they just said on ESPN Chicago radio that the Bears never promised Dalton the starting job. He put that story out and now the Bears don’t want to come out publicly and say he was lying. God I hope this isn’t true.

wait, you dont want the Bears to not start Dalton or you dont want the controversy?

 

I hope that it would be true, I agree with David, start Fields.

[Brian707]

The Cowboys are always talked up every season by ESPN, NBC, CBS, etc. Jersey and Minnesota are correct

"ESPN Chicago radio that the Bears never promised Dalton the starting job" - I read that as the Bears did not promise Dalton to start, according to a rumor. I like that. Why promise Dalton anything?

 

"now the Bears don’t want to come out publicly and say he was lying" - i think I misread this the fist go around, thinking that the person reporting the rumor was the one who could be lying. But is this saying Dalton lied and said he was promised the starting job? Who is the "he"?

There's a very good reason that a 5-8 Dallas team vs. a 4-8 Giants team will get a primetime game over actual good teams. The Cowboys (and NFC East in general) are propped (largely due to ratings) and you aren't going to advertise/broadcast those games with a narrative around the teams sucking
