The game I really want the Illini to win and win big is vs. MSU. Lost all respect for Izzo after that goon squad hit on Ayo, dude literally punched him in the face. I may be wrong but, I'm almost certain the goon was allowed to remain in the game nor did he get a flagrant foul. I firmly believe that had repercussions down the line because, Ayo re-aggravated the injury when he got popped in face towards the end of the Big Ten Championship game, he was definitely not 100% for tournament. It was obvious in the Loyola game.

Most definitely looked so much better, hopefully, the post concussion effects are behind him, bigger and better things on the horizon for the Illini. Would not be all that surprised if neither the Illini or Purdue loss another game going into the game on 2/10.

I think the 49ers have a good chance of knocking off GB Would I ever love that. Certainly possible but I don't think so. If I'm a Packer fan the only team that concerns me is TB, the rest of the field doesn't have much of chance in my opinion. And this is OK, I want those pissants to win the SB and Rodgers back at QB when the Bears start beating them, it'll be that much more rewarding.

This sure as horsefeathers sounds like something an even self-proclaimed casual fan of today's NFL would know, no?

Wow, Fields had to be practically decapitated to get a roughing call. Totally. Compared to the hits he took this year, the one in Brady was nothing Not to mention it appears the Eagle defender was pushed into Brady and appears he's was trying to keep Brady from falling rather than hitting him.
-
Yeah, Steelers - Chiefs will most likely be a blowout as well, on the flip side Cardinals - Rams/Niners - Cowboys have chances to be good games.
-
It just sucks these key hires are in hands of an ownership that almost always chooses the wrong guy and does the wrong thing basically, immune to getting things correct. I have to think McCaskey has heard this, is pissed off and determined to get it right. Still doesn't fill me with much confidence, let's hope lady luck is in the Bears corner for a change.

I think thats being probably a little unfair to Mac. That first part could describe any rookie QB. I know he had a high floor low ceiling profile coming in, but I'd say he exceeded those expectations even as a rookie. Obviously his ceiling will be a limit of his mental game rather than physical game, but we can't really discount the mental component. I mean even Brady wasn't that good until what like year 5 or 6? If he's in a system that will generally protect him, he could still be a high ceiling QB. That's probably true, sometimes though you need a QB to make a play or two with his physical abilities that's where Fields is much more attractive.
-
Did not think the Pats had much of a chance yesterday, was not expecting that kind of a blowout though. Jones strikes me as the type of QB that needs a really strong supporting cast and system, that cast needs to have good games in order for him to succeed so, New England is the perfect place for him. I've seen many harping on the Bears taking Jones but, I still very happy with Fields. It's been rough however, Fields still has all the qualities of potential franchise QB whereas, were seeing pretty close to Jones' ceiling.
-
I'm not worried about multiple teams being hot for Daboll perhaps, for the first time ever, the Bears are the pick of the litter, the job everyone wants. While Fields doesn't have Allen' arm or size he's probably a little faster than Allen, I really liked what I saw of Daboll' offense yesterday, most especially against a well coached opponent with a top defense. I look upon Bears - Packers being similar to Bills - Patriots, Bills are starting to flip the cycle, think the Bears have chance to do that in near future.
-
Has Big Ten officiating gotten worse? They tried like hell to had MSU the game today, so many terrible calls, but, you still lost Izzo.
-
I know Zach going out is a big downer but, they're not even making an effort out there, ESPN announcers creaming in their pants over Igoudala' steals. Hell, I could make those plays when the balls being thrown to me to.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to read about some of the stuff we've wondered about for years. What a disaster organization lol. That said all it takes is the right hires at GM and coach and a lot of the issues are irrelevant Nagy is/was obviously terrible, there must have been some evidence of his deficiencies prior to hire? No? Really, does lend credence to the belief that Nagy was brilliant in the interview room but, unfortunately, not so much where it really counted - in the football room. If so much weight is put on the interview as opposed to the body of work I do not know if they'll get it correct. Why can't McCaskey just be removed from the equation?
-
I thought so as well, to be fair, the officials were allowing Nebraska to do just about anything they wanted to him, pushing, holding, hitting him in the face, takes its toll after a while. I thought Curbelo had lost it when he was screaming at the officials in the second half, now I know why - Apparently that idiot did the same horsefeathers in 1st half when Frazier missed a FT, bush league [expletive].
-
That's awesome, he is not the right hire for the Bears, hard pass for the Bears.
-
Guess it amounts to getting the GM correct, the right hire there will be able to find the right coach.
-
Yes, this, not firing Nagy, was one of the parts McCaskey had to get right, there's hope.

Love, in his few opportunities, hasn’t really shown much. If AR leaves and they go with Love,they’ll need an experienced backup. AR will have to decide if he wants to be the highest paid player in the league or one of the highest. If he demands to be the highest paid, gonna make it tough for GB to retain many of their key players. Wasn’t that the point of his whole press conference - that he more or less didn’t need to be the highest paid but wanted the Packers to retain the good players? I don’t see him leaving GB I want Rogers to stay a Packer, when the Bears start beating them I want him at QB. I'd say the Packers are as close to a one man football team as will ever see, they really are impotent without him. Don't know if you could say that about the Bucs without Brady or Chiefs without Mahomes nevertheless, stay a Packer Aaron Rodgers.
-
You're probably correct however, McCaskey' blind spot when it comes to Pace may still horsefeathers things up, they've chance to get it right I hope they do.
-
Apparently, McCaskey has a blind spot when it comes to Pace, he cannot see what's plainly visible - Pace is terrible at building a roster. Sure, he's had some late round success but, as mentioned above any Tom, Dick and Harry GM can make the same claim. His initial solution to QB this season was Andy Dalton, that's the best he could do, that alone should have got him fired.
-
I know Wisconsin' pretty good, but, holy horsefeathers Iowa is terrible and it's awesome. Love what the Illini did to Maryland tonight on D first half, Maryland got some calls, took advantage of poor defensive play by the Illini guards, second half the Illini put and end to Scott' and Ayala' success. Scott had 15 at the half, 2 the rest of the game, think it was Williams who clamped down on him. It was nice to see the Illini kick their asses the second half and finally put them away.

Don't think for minute Nagy isn't secretly tickled pink he gets to start his boy, Andy, for his last game as the Bears HC. He''ll also start Peters at left tackle, have Burns take most if not all the snaps from Graham Jr., etc., no sense in getting pissed about it now. It's the last time he's ever going to get to do this crap, I take comfort in that fact.
-
I don't know why but my guess is they will take their sweet ole' time restructuring. Make perfect sense, if it's counter-intuitive, against the grain of common sense, the Bears will follow that path down the road of stupidity. It's their way.
-
I'd sure like to see Fields light it up, there will be limitations, Nagy' coaching, lack of receivers who can make a play on a ball, etc. but, him putting up some big time numbers would sure be encouraging going into 2022. I was watching a little of the Packers and Vikings Sunday night, I noticed not every ball Rogers throws is perfect, in fact a few were downright shitty however, he's got a guy in Adams who's able to go up and grab those crappy passes. This it what Justin needs, maybe it'll be Mooney, they've definitely got a find a play maker at receiver.
