    Ah yes. The Curious Case of Brandon Aiyuk..... Probably shouldn't even bother putting his mug on a milk carton. I believe his days in SF are over.

    Scoring points in 23 straight quarters (and counting) is pretty good.

    They come at you from so many directions. The good news is their defense didn't look good at all. Rivers didn't have the arm strength to make some of the necessary throws to keep their offense on the field. Guys were plenty open, though. However, the SF defense didn't let Jonathan Taylor have anything. Indy averaged less than 3 yards a carry. Caleb will need to throw and throw often. Indy looked like they had the offense to trade scores with them, but once they fell behind, it was pretty much over. They just couldn't stop the SF offensive explosiveness. I'm not sure the Bears defense can, either. Which is why they will need to be in the mindset of scoring a td on every drive. I'm not picking the Bears to win this one. But I want more than anything to be proven wrong. Keep winning, dammit! I want some cold ass playoff games in Soldier Field in January.

    Gonna change their name to the Kansas City Chiefs.

    Remember this 3 part hit piece? This was part 1. Good times! https://www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-dysfunction-part-i-the-curious

    No clue what the issue was with the officials on that play. If it was OPI, you enforce the penalty and it's game over. Pretty simple. I assumed they were going to call DPI, which then creates a confusing situation of how to rule the end of that play. If it was OPI, what the hell were they confused about? Games not ending on a penalty is only on defensive penalties.

    San Fran is in the driver's seat for the #1 seed. If they win out, they get it. Their offense is firing on all cylinders right now. Really hoping for a loss tonight to kill that dream for them, but old man Rivers and the beat up Indy defense is probably not the team to make that happen.

    I do feel like hitting the archives to see what people were saying about the 2025 Bears. Fun read, I'm sure.
  9. BigbadB
    I absolutely love these. I'm a bit confused why Caleb isn't getting game balls, though.
  10. BigbadB
    What a crazy and fun game. I wonder if Caleb has fallen asleep yet. I think about the vitriol that was directed at Caleb because he paints his nails. How many of them are still clamoring for Jayden "I sit on the sidelines a lot" Daniels? Dude comes up big time, time and again. I meant to say this last week, but I would say it deserves mentioning even more after last night, and that's the Special Teams work has taken a complete 180%. Santos has a miss in there (last week), but he's been very good at not only field goals, but also getting the 20 yard line touch back. There have been much better Bears returns, less penalties and Taylor has pinned them deep. My prediction that Jahdae would shine wasn't that far off. 2 catches isn't off the charts, but that grab for a TD was a shining moment. Olamide, your ticket is ready at the train station. Where are you going? Anywhere but here.

    I mean, he's not taking the Addison Russell route to the end of his baseball career, but he's certainly veering off in a similar direction. Illinois is a blue state for one reason only. CHICAGO! I suppose it's healthy to a kid's future to be all over the team owner's knob for future paychecks, but the fanbase is watching. In general, the less I know about a baseball player outside of his baseball prowess, the better. I was so excited about Matt Shaw as a young prospect. Now I couldn't care less if they fire him off to the moon. A couple more Matt Shaw's proudly wearing their political affiliations on their sleeve and my Marquee bill will soon become $20 cheaper per month. I can read a book for 2:15 (or however short games will be in 2026) a day instead of tuning into a game. I'm way behind on my reading.
  12. BigbadB
    Hey, look! It's someone who has never driven through Gary, Indiana.
  13. BigbadB
    Jahdae Walker is going to shine in this game.
  14. BigbadB
    Rams racked up close to 600 yards with no turnovers and lost the game.
  15. BigbadB
    There are currently no safeties under contract for 2026.
  16. BigbadB
    Yeah, I actually tuned in just in time for the start of the 3rd period. Hawks like to kick me when I'm down.
  17. BigbadB
    This is your takeaway from that game? Did you actually watch the game?
  18. BigbadB
    I think my disinterest was more about Soderblom stinking up the place yet again. I definitely like watching the youngsters fly around the ice.
  19. BigbadB
    Got most of the frustrations out of the way by the end of the first few series. I'll take that. But, I'd also like to see a dominant first drive of the game that ends in 7 points for the good guys. Lots of positives to take away from that game. This OLine is making Swift and Monangai look like Pro Bowl caliber RB's. At the same time, I think they have both been putting the work in. Swift's cuts have been very impressive this season.

    I was a Fields apologist for way longer than I should have. But, I was 100% on board with moving on and drafting Caleb. Lovie Smith made the stars align in such a way that there was no way you could have gone any other direction. Thank you, Carolina! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
  21. BigbadB
    I was surprised how many chances Sean Payton took with his offense yesterday. He did an early 4th and 8 at a position on the field that seemed insane, but they connected on a pass play for about 20 yards. Ballsy.
  22. BigbadB
    Brutal. I thought it might have been Watson's clavicle on replay. His landing arm seemed like it landed directly on his elbow and then all of his weight (and the defender) came down on his elbow. Frozen ground doesn't give much. I'm not liking Rome's chances of suiting up this Saturday if he reaggravated his foot injury in pregame warmups. It's not a game I'd like for Rome to miss, but at least we started seeing Caleb target DJ a bit more yesterday.
  23. BigbadB
    Do they have a timeline on his return yet? I actually turned the game off halfway through the first period.
  24. BigbadB
    Since there is no baseball discussion happening here, I'm locking the thread. Let's keep it Cubs baseball in the Cubs baseball forum, please.
  25. BigbadB
    Absolutely haven't forgotten. But I also don't prescribe to the idea that you just throw money at every guy with a pulse until some rando guy goes "okay" (in Disney's Goofy voice) just to appease the fanbase that "something" needs be done now. I said from day one that the trade for Tucker was only worth it if they extend him. You don't make that trade as a one and done, IMO. You could make Tucker an offer he can't refuse and then trade prospects for Edward Cabrera/similar and stay below the LT line and this team is better than anything they likely do this offseason. Of course, the time to make that offer to Tucker was while you had exclusive negotiating rights. That day is long gone.
