  1. Liked what I heard, most especially, not in these specific words, still, the intent was - putting your players in a position to succeed. That's all you can ask of a coach, it's what's failed to happen with the Bears time and again. I've no doubts Caleb' going to explode in 2025, it's going to be great.
  2. I don't think there's any Warren fans here, did read a piece about him recognizing the lack of this throughout the Bears organization. He's taken steps to help the Bears get their horsefeathers together, the aggressive and quick securing of Johnson is evidence.
  3. Those "bodies" have to be starter types. If they come out of FA with multiple OL starters, I can almost guarantee that means Jeanty at 10, even if someone like Carter or Graham falls. I'm OK with this, screw defense, I want a Bears team to light up the scoreboard, no more 6-3 losses, no more touchdown-less first halves. I want Caleb to horsefeathers bury Daniels, Nix, Maye and whatever 2025 rookie QB is supposed to better than Caleb as well.
  4. I honestly feel bad for my family members who are big Lions' fans. Wanted them to win one then, go to horsefeathers. Not that it'll happen but, I'm OK with it going to horsefeathers for the Lions without the Super Bowl win.
  5. Going this route may allow them to take Jeanty at 10, then OL/DL, OL, OL/WR with the next three picks. I'd be OK with this approach, Johnson does value the RB position, wouldn't be a surprising outcome. Even though it is a RB deep draft and someone not that far removed from Jeanty will be available on day 2 or 3.
  6. Should have been a no-call.
  7. Whom should the Bears target in FA? Plenty are saying Trey Smith, don't think that's realistic, don't believe he's going to leave KC. I'm thinking they should target multiple OL starter types, definitely spend all the money.
  8. Awesome, no Arians/McGinnis horsefeathers going down, it's true, it's real, now, get a cup of coffee or, probably, a Red Bull/Energy Drink and start putting together a FA/draft plan to fix the horsefeathers OL!!! Also, despite being different sports, glad he wasn't hired by the Dodgers. Well, just because, why the horsefeathers not?
  9. It's undeniable the Bears, as Tom tells Michael about Roth - "...Roth (Bears) played this one perfectly..." - if possible, wrap your mind around that concept.
  10. All those idiots at the Score, look even more so like idiots, the constant whining about "no direction, an over correction, etc." Poles just made you out to be fools. One of the rare times in Bears history they one-upped the Chicago media.
  11. Play calling/coach and the OL, they've taken care of the first, the second must be addressed. While Lions have a better RB room, I believe if you switched out the rest of skill players, the results would have been the same. It's not in the skill positions, it's the OL, that's the gap. Bears don't have to close the gap completely but, they have to make it smaller.
  12. I really like, for once, the Bears were decisive and moved quickly, hiring the top target. This move helps to make Poles not look so wishy-washy and soft. Now, there's the roster, which he still may horsefeathers up, but, this hiring, the money and speed at which it was accomplished suggests it may be a different Poles.
  13. Draft’s pretty deep at RB no reason to draft one in the first round. Go OL or if Carter is there at 10, go DL in the first.
  14. The whole interviewing numerous candidates, inquiring about trading for a coach was a smokescreen. Well, some of the networking was probably intentional, I believe they knew who they wanted the moment Eberflus was fired. I also believe Poles wanted to fire Eberflus but was forced to keep him on.
  15. I’ve no doubt they’ll draft a RB on day 2.
  16. They should let Allen walk, wouldn’t surprise me if Tyler Scott suddenly emerges.
  17. I was thinking along the same lines, hiring Johnson was clearly the correct move. All the other horsefeathers was just networking, etc. and maybe digging at the media.
  18. Appears the Bears and Poles knew who they wanted all along, all this hand-wringing and screaming about too many interviews, no direction, etc. was just useless melodrama. Who's the fool now? Guess now we'll also see if Dan Campbell is truly a meathead with brains.
  19. To be paid over the next 100 years.
  20. Johnson picking the Bears or not, he's not the only avenue to success, McCarthy or Monken/Brady/Kingsburry will work as well. Just not Flores/Weaver or some other defensive dumbass, once again, Poles, it's not horsefeathers rocket surgery. Honestly, I'd be more than OK with McCarthy, I know he looks Jabba the Hut but, one can't deny the success he's in developing Rodgers and Prescott. He'd be good for Caleb.
  21. Frustrating, if he plays 30 or minutes Illinois wins, probably comfortably, we'll see what happens in Champaign. My guess, Izzo' histrionics won't be quite as effective, KJ will play more than 8 minutes and the Illini will probably win.
  22. What's more it finally be the end of all the fretting about the interviews and all that horsefeathers. If it's not Johnson, it'll be McCarthy or Monken, all would be good for Caleb.
  23. If he wants to win immediately I believe the Bears offer the best chance. I do think it matters after the money, etc. these guys want to win. And don't give me all that horsefeathers about the rest of the NFC North, Bears hire Johnson, Caleb improves, I'll take my chances.
  24. Don't worry the Dodgers will sign him next week. I'm honestly surprised they didn't sign Soto and trade for Tucker. WTF?
  25. I hope he did, horsefeathers the fines, they're a pittance to him. The fourth one, just completely ridiculous, KJ goes up gets the rebound, MSU doofus jumps into him, pushes KJ to the floor as they both go down. Somehow, magically, in front of the MSU, bench it's a foul on KJ.
