    New ownership is needed. Virginia and the rest of the McCaskeys are utter failures too. Honest question, how does a relatively hands off ownership affect a team being futile for most of the last 25 years? The Bears don’t have a good QB, they don’t have the coaching staff that could develop a good QB, they don’t have a FO that can hire the guys that could develop and coach a good QB, they don’t have executives that can hire the right FO that can hire a coaching staff that develops a good QB. But where does ownership fit in? Should they be more like Jerry Jones and be more involved, maybe clean house more frequently (like Ted Phillips) when it’s clear the team doesn’t have the right pieces? Maybe they should be building connections within the game and improving the image of the team? Maybe make changes like artificial turf at Solider Field so it’s not knows at the stadium where speed goes to die? These sound like I’m challenging your viewpoint and I’m not. I just always hear how the Bears need new ownership and I have a hard time figuring out why that would make the difference. I’m sure there are several reasons that I’m just not thinking of. I have no idea how involved they are on a day to day basis, but they do have a history of making personal relationships with coaches or front office people that probably buys those people extra time when they should be let go

    What game are you watching? At the time of that post, Mitch had dumped to the right flat 3 or 4 plays in a row
  3. Derwood
    Mitch starting, so it’s nothing but instant check downs to the flat. He doesn’t even look downfield

    Bears are bad at everything
  5. Derwood
    Too easy for the Packers

    Bears are losing by at least three touchdowns
  7. Derwood
    That was all in the first quarter. Plus he backflipped into the end zone on one of his TDs

    The KC offense is kinda good

    Wildcat formation every play.

    I’m especially enjoying this because a) Ohio State has been floating about how well they’ve done with COVID compared to “lesser” B1G schools and b) they are a cancellation away from being ineligible for the B1G championship

    Grey iron on letters on a plain blue shirt? Amazing? Lol Yes. Nope. They look like the cheap Chinese knockoff jersey your aunt gets you for Christmas because no one is dropping $150 on the real one

    You really like these bargain rack Lions jerseys?

    The NBA has become the Godless Chucking league that Sulley warned us about
  19. Derwood
    This is happening in every sport, but it’s definitely exaggerated in basketball. In football, a 50 yard field goal used to be a risky attempt, but now every back up kicker in the league can nail 55 yarders and give a 60 yarder a good try. Baseball has unlocked the math of launch angles (and defensive shifts) which have changed the game. But in the NBA, there isn’t much to do outside of fundamentally changing the game by altering the dimensions of the playing area.

    Are they really daggers when there are like 40 of them per game?

    So nothing but dunks and 3's? Sounds boring Well they're not dunking it from just shy of the FT line. LeBron does, but I see your point. Either way, it looks like a game of "The Floor is Lava" where the safe zones are outside the circle and inside the key

    Pat Mahomes is the destroyer of dreams

    Almost. The Eagles have a slight edge by tying *checks notes* the Bengals

    They deserved to lose but somehow won
