next you will try to claim that if the temperature hits the dew point, theres a good chance it will rain. you've seen it like 60000 times, right

5 man protection says otherwise

Can Lazor just once call against a good D

God I wish I could watch this

Please tell me it's Lazor

Maybe we should get Nagy a set of Dusty Dice

have they named QB starter for the Lions game?

It's likely at least a brownfield, if not a future superfund site. It probably hasn't been submitted for superfund status because that would put it under very strict "do not touch" guidelines. I bet the current thought is to get someone to buy it and treat it as a brownfield, clean it up, and redevelop it instead. That's prolly why it isn't a superfund, but the sheer cost of cleaning up 400 acres would preclude a lot of development, including the Bears stadium

I don't give a horsefeathers what advanced stats say, the cubs are gonna suck for a while so I'd rather see him doing insane slides/tags in cubby blue. even if he can't because of advanced age, I still want him back in Cubbie blue. guess I'm a homer, but as tree once said "...that's the way sports work!!"

i'd love to see the Bears build this because there is a fair chance I could get to work on it/be part of it.

Memphis BBQ is overrated. look at this guy

a museum to what exactly? pain? suffering? long, unending and unfilled promises of a decent offense and broken dreams? (actually, I was thinking the same thing, expand Grant Park or make a new park with room for the Field Museum to expand)

Well in that mackup they ran over a bunch of the actual AP property. It's more L shaped, not a trapezoid. Basically that bottom left corner you have to exclude. But yea it's a huge property and can fit so much. The actual stadium all the way to the exterior walls should fit inside the racetrack basically. So you're saying we can build the stadium and still keep the historic Arlington Park grandstand so future generations can appreciate the history? you could almost build TWO stadiums inside the trackway and race horses around them during halftime

Oh if there's enough space in the existing Arlington Park footprint then never mind me, I was mostly thinking of the surrounding streets. Well in that mackup they ran over a bunch of the actual AP property. It's more L shaped, not a trapezoid. Basically that bottom left corner you have to exclude. But yea it's a huge property and can fit so much. The actual stadium all the way to the exterior walls should fit inside the racetrack basically. "they"? thats MY work, chummmp point taken

I think its big enough to develop with shopping, housing, etc to be a viable long term development money wise. It's not what I would like to see in terms of inner-city development, but it sounds like the City of Chicago just isn't going to pony up what the Bears really want

If there's enough space(IIRC there's not a ton but it's been 6 years since I lived in that area), you'd still need to get some more events/tenants to justify that, right? 10 Bears games a year wouldn't sustain those businesses I would think, and Arlington Park was a higher foot traffic baseline than an empty lot. the Arlignton site is 326 acres, there is more then enough room. for comparison, here is Foxborough including the shopping areas (outlined in red) over the Arlington site (unofficial 1000' google meter comparison): laptop resolution check

It's the Lions. They'll beat them but it will be the type of game where the Bears win, but no one is reassured they have anything figured out.

also, the Tony Dungy scenario is hilarious and ignores what he actually did in TB which was develop a Super Bowl roster only to lose it (probably because of racism) to lil Chucky., So, he turned around and ultimately did it again (albeit with the leagues QB1) in Indy by building their Tampa 2 up. He did it TWICE. Matt horsefeathering Nagy will never do that 1 time.

Now this is a post I can agree with. I actually think Nagy can be an acceptable coach (in a Tony Dungy situation where he's the figurehead that lets his coordinators call the shots on gameday). And I think Pace could be an acceptable GM based on talent evaluation, if he starts valuing draft picks. But they are both problems, but they aren't the only problems. There's problems everywhere. I don't think they're disasterous problems, but obviously they will continue to be problems without serious changes in philosophies. Maybe they'll figure it out with their next franchises and a part from each other. The absolute best case outlook for each of them is that their collaboration line was even more BS than we realized. How does the GM decide to keep Graham at 7M to be used like he is by his head coach? Sure seems like they forgot to collaborate on that one. oh horsefeathers this. Nagy had say in the personal decisions, Pace definitely worked with him. He likely had to as ownership probably said to them both "figure it out or get lost". And Foles is an excellent example of Nagy wanting his guy and Pace going after him. They picked up Andy Dalton because they had no QB because the two collectively decided to blame Trubisky for his average play (which, BTW, would look better then what Dalton has shown) rather then looking at themselves. They suck. They communicate just fine, but they suck at what they need to excel at. Evaluating College talent (one of Pace's better qualities) is a lot different then sitting across the table for a coach who has a noose around his neck and saying "look, Matt, horsefeathers Foles. Figure it out with Trubisky" and that is something Pace HAD to do. Once he doesn't do that, they both end up chasing their horsefeathering tails decision after decision. jimmy Graham sticks around forever. Quinn was hurt, that's clear now, so Pace gets the benefit of that decision. But Dalton was something they BOTH had to do because they BOTH walked themselves into it. Imagine if they had picked up the 5th year on Mitch. Yea, he would be average - but better then Andy Dalton and his 5 yards per pass attempt. Had they done that, the best thing is they would have him on a contract year and still being able to draft Fields. They could have done that. Yea, it shouts "we aren't committed to Mitch" but you know what, why should any team be committed to a QB who isnt QB1 of the league and not on the wrong side of 30? Why not draft to that position repeatedly until you have that guy? Instead, we have [expletive] A and [expletive] B making moves and decisions to try and preserve their careers. Which is why they will lose their careers.

Nagy' offense is so complicated that it has completely fooled the biggest birdbrained athlete out there; Nagy himself

2005, I think they were tops in the league that year eta: they were https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2005/opp.htm and actually, that means little because they were in 2018 as well (I thought they were only top 5 in 2018) https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2018/opp.htm

I agree with them 100%. I'm just sick of the promise of a top tier offense with Nagy running it. He is simply incapable

I would love to see Lazor call a game against a top 5 defense. Something tells me we would then know if it's the system or JUST Nagys game calling

It might be that Nagy isn't ready to call an NFL game either Today was extremely disappointing but Fields is still young enough to rebound, I don't think Nagy ever will

Pace/Nagys management of the roster has been horsefeathering terrible. Imagine having just Leno over anyone of Graham/Foles/Dalton Until today, Peters was an upgrade over Leno. Graham led the Bears in TD catches last year and was great in the red zone. But it's not Leno vs Peters, they could have still gone out and signed Peters even with Leno if they didn't have all their money tied to players who either don't play or are replaceable
