  1. Back in the loss column on LongGuyland
  2. Unless he’s a magic man with the golden touch it’s going to take more than one offseason. I’m looking for significant improvement and hopefully meaningful games in December. It’ll be 2024 when the Bears are a serious threat, best case. It’s already been one offseason. This upcoming one is his 2nd. Let’s not retroactively give him more of a benefit of the doubt than he’s due. He’s got this offseason to make major improvements and if the 2023 has similar issues you have to think about moving on. This team is all about one guy he had nothing to do with acquiring.
  3. Hawks looked like they were poised to lose about 20 In a row in the back half of November, then came in and upset the rangers. Those are fun wins, despite the draft ramifications. Beating a playoff bound team that thinks it can contend for a cup, in their building, especially when it’s NY, is what sports are for. I’ll be watching them Tuesday in Newark and fully expect a blowout loss.
  4. Tying to find a silver lining, maybe if no one worth a damn ever wants to play WR there that wakes someone up to getting rid of Ferentz the Younger? I don't know why this year wouldn't be enough on its own, but... My guess after last season was that he'd make the jump to the NFL as maybe an OL coach or something so he doesn't have to be fired. Still my hope for this year. except as a favor to Sr., who would make that hire? Nepotism hires are rampant, but usually it’s a situation where a guy has some success and immediately gets a promotion to a job he’s otherwise unqualified. Ferentz is only qualified to be a video assistant or quality control intern.
  5. I know I’m not the target audience, but I already tune out college football by the time the championship comes up. I generally watch sports to watch my teams and since I don’t really have a college team, I’m really only interested in big matchups. We’re lucky to get two good games in a regular season weekend, by the time bowl season rolls around I expect garbage. I’ll maybe watch parts of each playoff, and some of the big name bowls. With expansion that’ll just make me less interested.
  6. I really enjoy In Soccer We Trust with Jimmy Conrad, Heath Pearce and Charlie Davies. They get some real good guests, aren't afraid to criticize when necessary, and obviously have the perspective of guys who have been there and done that Not sure how people feel about Men In Blazers, but they've been doing a 6 part series with the actor who plays Coach Beard in Ted Lasso covering the history of the USMNT which I enjoyed. Brought back memories and reminded me of things I forgot or didn't know about at the time. The sub-series is called Go! Go! USA, but its part of the main Men In Blazers podcast. Brenden Hunt. He’s also co-hosting a pod with Rebecca Lowe https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/after-the-whistle-with-brendan-hunt-and-rebecca-lowe/id1654074926
  7. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oye Oye Oye
  8. How are these kids selected to March in with the players pregame? Is it donors or the children of slave labor used to build the facilities?
  9. Chose to focus on eddie Jackson presnap and watched him collapse. Final snap as a Bear?
  10. 51-38, champions cover
  11. Watch out Virginia, the milf hunter has time on his hands
  12. Yes, it’s pay as you go. We’ve used this company’s suite tickets at MetLife and Prudential probably a dozen times. The only time it’s been stocked was when we had all 16 tix and paid to stock it ourselves. It’s possible that somebody in the group will volunteer to stock it, but doubtful. We occasionally get devils tickets in the section where all the food is free, but you have to buy beer. Same with Mets and Yankees.
  13. I'm generally of the firm belief of "attending NFL games in person sucks because the game is designed for TV" but I wouldn't turn down free suite tickets. Why would you not want to take advantage of that? 1. Getting to and leaving MetLife sucks. It’s maybe 5 miles from my house and will be an hour both ways. 2. 99% sure it’s not gonna be a fully stocked suite. We’ve been before and had to either order from a waitress or go out and get it ourselves. 3. Justin Fields will either play and die or not play and the game will be ugly as hell. 4. MetLife stadium sucks balls. On the other hand. It’s free tix. I’ll probably drink less than I would if I was sitting at home. The Jets have a habit of embarrassing themselves against inferior opponents. And maybe somebody on the bears does something cool.
  14. Acquire a fake positive covid test. Kramer.giddyup.gif
  15. If your wife got you tickets* in a suite for this game how would you go about not going? Asking for a friend. *She spent zero dollars
  16. That’s a separated shoulder
  17. That play call? Come on. His legs are done
  18. If the goal is to make sure the team loses but it not be Fields’ fault, I can’t think of much better options than playing a guy who is guaranteed to fumble a punt. Only issue is Atlanta may not need to punt.
  19. there is a difference between learning how to win and knowing how to win. The former is an active process that can be objectively verified. The latter is a hypothetical construct and is an outcome measure of sorts. Learning how to win means not making the same mistakes, or trying something different in the same circumstance where you were unsuccessful in the past. Natural ability + good planning/practice + luck are also variables. So "learning how to win" just means getting better overall? No. This isn’t baseball. The result of the game is not dependent on a series of 1 on 1 easily quantified contests. The clock matters. Situation matters. 2 minute offenses are not the same thing as the rest of the game. For a QB and a head coach in particular, it’s not just getting better at the sport overall, it’s learning how to win games.
  20. Baseball and football are not at all comparable.
  21. I don't like losing. The higher draft pick positioning is just how I talk myself into not being as upset when horsefeathers like today happens. Yeah, I do the same. But there are people celebrating this stuff and being incredibly proud of their disdain for people that think the bears should be able to beat the lions at home.
  22. I’m so sick of pro tank simps that love losing
