  1. If everything played out the same but he didn’t sign an extension, he would have demanded a trade this year. He wasn’t keen on playing out that deal looking for the last large payout of his life based on what a rookie qb could do for him.
  2. NFL players hold out all the time. Being under contract for two more years at an incredibly low number is meaningless. He was never going to finish out that contract
  3. Keenan and Caleb bonding at his pro day probably didn’t help.
  4. That doesn’t really speak volumes about anything. These kinds of moves get leaked before announced. That’s just the way the world works. what speaks volumes to me is that it took until Tuesday after Eberflus had a disastrous Monday trying to hem and haw with media it’s the indecisiveness and lack of leadership
  5. I disagree that winning is down the list. They are absolutely driven to win. They are not driven to maximize profit, and get criticized in many “business of sport” stories about their lack of focus on increasing revenue at every turn, in comparison to a Jerry Jones type. But what they want is to win in a specific manner, with quiet class and stability. This organization wants to be the Steelers. They desperately want to hire one coach and have that man in place for 30 years. Make the playoffs every year. Get to a Super Bowl every decade. The problem is they absolutely suck at that job.
  6. poles going to Warren for advice on what to do next
  7. Athanasiou reportedly places on waivers, which would open up an NHL roster spot for somebody
  8. The more time players spend with Waldron and Eberflus the more they realize how incompetent and full of horsefeathers they are, respectively. Week 1 was awful. They didn’t recover until they played a few games and players confronted the staff. They’ve had multiple instances now when veterans felt comfortable publicly criticizing the coaching. They are lost.
  9. The story is he showed up complaining of back pain. This was in a game where offensive line depth was an issue. It doesn’t matter if it’s the back pain was real or not. The guy has no future here. You can’t sell hustle and heart to the rest of the team when this non-participant just sits on his guaranteed contract go find a street free agent and pay him his injury settlement
  10. I’d like to see Nate Davis cut today. Doesn’t matter that line depth is a problem. He is not available anyway. Davis has been an awful addition and allowing his lack of participation to go on completely flies in the face of Eberflus’s hustle and effort mandate. Davis is the epitome of a loaf.
  11. Offensive infrastructure is a real thing. The bears don’t have one. Defensive head coaches can win with either HOF caliber and/or established veteran QB or a depth of connections in the coaching community to hire quality young offensive minds. A first time head coach from the defensive side of the ball and a history of coaching mediocre nfl teams was not the right hire for a team looking to turn around the offensive.
  12. Death comes for us all. After the last couple game thread starters horsefeathers the bed by jumping in the way of a winning streak, I’m back to set things right. No, the bears aren’t going to win. But it’s time to head to the mattresses. These things happen every 5 or 10 years, it helps to get rid of the bad blood.
  13. There’s really nothing better for a coach on a bad team that is under contract to get fired. It’s doing him a favor getting paid to not work and be free to seek other opportunities. The agents aren’t going to step in and prevent that from happening.
  14. I’m not unconcerned
  15. In the grand scheme of things it is good that a gm that blatantly tanked multiple seasons and sabotaged a young qbs career is having it all blow up in his face
  16. How do you not bring down the qb?
  17. Way more conservative than arrogant. It was an acknowledgment that they are going to punt early and often.
  18. But seriously why do you keep posting in last weeks thread?
  19. Why is this a thing?
