    We’ve virtually been without Rome for 3-4 weeks now and we’ve been ok, but losing Burden really sucks. He’s really developing a great chemistry with Caleb. I suppose all things considered I’d take this situation if it means no Micah Parsons, but I ain’t happy about it. Run the ball early, run the ball often, throw to Colston Loveland.

    God DAMN it

    I really think there’s 0% chance the Bears move to Indiana

    Yeah from what I’ve read this is the rare case where the owners simply don’t have the money to build the stadium, it’s not simply just greed, it’s plan facts. The only way Bears ownership could get financing to build the stadium on their own would require them to leverage more of their ownership of the team (because they are so cash-poor) and I may be wrong, but the NFL puts limits of how much an ownership can do that. Of course, one solution would be for the McCaskeys to sell the team already, but I don’t think that’s in the cards. all that being said, I don’t want a penny of public money going to a new Bears stadium. Always a boondoggle, it never pays off for the taxpayer.

    It is pretty baffling that this isn't getting done. Everyone knows that they're going to end up in Arlington Heights. They own the property already. They've cut deals with the AH local government. You're not getting more money from the State. Give up already. Every year you delay is another year where they don't have a stadium and you're spending millions on real estate taxes with nothing to pay for it. Soldier Field has a capacity of like 58,000 and they're missing out on tons of missing revenue because it's so goddamn small and worse for everyone: the team is getting good and will probably stay good for at least the next few years. Will we get a stadium by 2030? It's looking dicey.

    I really hope that we don't have to go into this game with Devin Duvernay being our #3 receiver. That would suck. And I'd totally take a flyer on Judon for like, the practice squad. See what that dude can do, or have anything left in the tank. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka has actually provided some value for us. Sometimes a change of scenery does a lot for a MF.

    This is actually a very easy debate to settle: Caleb Williams 4.77% sack rate is 9th best in the league. He went from the worst QB in taking sacks to being in the top 10. He turned his biggest weakness last year into a strength.

    I feel like I'm losing my mind because this should have been done like 2 months ago What is it with Washington and going out of their way to destroy their young, mobile QBs
  9. BigSlick
    The more I think about the more I like Caleb's throw to DJ in the end zone. Yeah, sure, it's a bit of a risky ball, but also, it's a dagger if it hits, and the way the game is called and played these days, lots of good things can happen. If anything, he's been a little *too* reticent to pull the trigger on risky balls when he's got some absolute studs at WR. Throw it up !

    The fact that the Bears are still 1.5 dogs, at home, after a dominant win, after Green Bay loses their best defensive player and perhaps their best receiver, and after they lost to lose their position of 1st place in the North... both annoys me but also I imagine provides a little boost of motivation for this group. Beat Green Bay, dudes. Just beat them, please. Any way you can.
  11. BigSlick
    Not that I want to rely on that, it’s nice to know that no matter what, the Bears will have something to play for in week 18 ideally it’s playoff positioning
  12. BigSlick
    The Bryce Young Panthers are so funny. They're going to win their division, almost by default, and they may convince their really dumb owner to extend a guy who really isn't a starting QB in the NFL. Also theyre in a brutal dogfight with the absolutely terrible New Orleans Saints.
  13. BigSlick
    Things tentatively looking good for my spite picks
  14. BigSlick
    Broncos, Rams, please give us 15 minutes of good football thank you
  15. BigSlick
    Go the horsefeathers Broncos and Rams mf’er
  16. BigSlick
    I would be happy if only ONE of the Lions, Packers or Niners lost, and apparently the Football Gods don't want me to be happy
  17. BigSlick
    "About time" from DJ. I don't think he's been unaware of all the chattering about his production, Glad to see he's thankful to be on a winning team even if he isn't getting as many targets as he has historically. We need all hands on deck for this playoff push.
  18. BigSlick
    Also thank god the Lions stumbled a bit in this season because that team when its firing on all cylinders is scary
  19. BigSlick
    Unfortunately, that Packers team is damn good. I hate to say it but they really might be the best or close to the best in the NFC.
  20. BigSlick
    It would be cool if the Packers and Lions lost today but I have a bad, annoying feeling both of them win
  21. BigSlick
    C'mon Broncos, do us a goddamn favor here guys
  22. BigSlick
    I appreciate you for keeping up with these tie breaker scenarios. I'm just staying in the mindset of "if you win 1 out of the next 3, you're in the playoffs." I don't know if thats strictly true, but its what I'm going with.
  23. BigSlick
    This is the complete victory the Bears needed. Confidence boost for Caleb, who, aside from a handful of plays, was magnificent. Huge confidence boost for the defense as well. Hopefully Kmet and Burden are healthy, we get Odunze back, and we're as healthy and prepared as possible for the Packers.
  24. BigSlick
    getting unnecessarily angry at the browns for possibly ruining my beautiful point differential equalizer
  25. BigSlick
    it would be dope as hell if we didn't let them score a TD, but I don't think we'll be so lucky
