    Is Velus really a lock? I would hope they acquire enough assets to at least make it possible he’s off the team by the time summer comes along. He’s done nothing. He’s older and there cannot be much of a cap hit by cutting him. Yeah, he's a lock. He's not a lock to be in the offensive rotation as more than a gimmick player, but he will be on this team. He's been playing special teams on coverage and returns. He has a pair of 40+ yard returns (actually leads NFL in average, but small sample size), so he has some value even if he's never an actual NFL WR. I’ll take your word for it, but that’s disappointing. Keeping Velus and losing Montgomery while adding some 2nd day slot receiver does little to add to the skill position talent this offseason. You’re going into 2023 begging Fields to make an inferior group productive.

    So worse than last year? Yeah, I don't see 70-75 wins as being likely even if we did essentially nothing. Yeah, they’d come up short

    The play calling was just so drastically different in the 2nd half. They were driving at will in the 1st half, then suddenly in the 2nd half they change things and can't move the ball. If that's not intentional, then I'm very concerned about our OC's ability to help this become a winning team. I am concerned as well. Thankfully like Poles, Eberflus and Fields he has an offseason to figure it out.

    He doesn’t have to win the NC to make a lot of money. Look at the contract Mel Tucker got for doing a lot less. The number of coaches that have cashed in since show Harbaugh can probably name his price the day after getting trounced by TCU.

    People keep joking about this, I assume. But there’s no way a young OC is purposefully tanking his offense. The guy stands to gain a lot by winning with nothing but Fields. The only benefit to losing is the maybe 55% chance they draft a better offensive difference maker to give him more toys. But they may take a defensive player at the top. And the front office already spent an entire draft failing to select an impact player. Why would Getsy play for that long game? It’s much more likely this is in his nature. He started the season with a terrible system and he’s spent most of the time getting bailed out by Fields legs.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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
