    Every national broadcast Cowboys game frames them as a perennial contender while they only refer to the Bears struggles at QB. The fact that Dallas has had 2 nationally respected guys at QB while the Bears have had none makes a lot of people think the Cowboys have won a hell of a lot more in the same timeframe. When I brought this up a couple years ago people were aghast at the comparison, just assuming Dallas had a lot more success than they did. you must be watching different broadcasts than i am but yes, the bears qb struggles are talked about ad nauseum (so is their history with defenses and linebackers and blah blah blah) I'm in 100% agreement with jersey. It seems like every year I hear how talented, or well constructed or poised the Dallas Cowboys are to make a run at a SB and every year they fall flat on their face. I think most of it is coming from the NYC media troupes, but not all of it

    Ok. horsefeathers Nagy

    Didn’t see the entire year thing, that’s not happening. Only way it does is if Dalton wins 12. Which also is not happening. Anyway, pace and Nagy signed secret extensions and won’t be pressured into starting fields before week 4. Not sure about the secret extensions thing though it wouldn’t surprise me but I also think that at the very least Dalton is going to get 3 games. Nagy isn’t going to swallow his pride and admit he was wrong after 1 or even 2 weeks. I think it will be like Mike Glennon, who had to be a complete embarrassing disaster over 4 games for Fox to pull the plug on him. 1 bad game - “we’re not going to make rash decisions based on one game. 2 bad games - “we saw some things we really liked from Andy today and believe we’re headed in the right direction. 3 bad games - “we’re going to go back and watch some tape and make the best decision for this football team”. Week 4 - Justin Fields starts Game 1) line holds together "we did some good things" Game 2) line improves "we like our direction Game 3) line not shaky "Justin fields is our qb Vs Game 1) line is horsefeathers "Andy Dalton is in surgery and Nick Foles is our qb" Let's hope for the former

    I’m the guy that stated without a doubt the Bears are more or less the Cowboys the past 25 years but don’t get nearly enough credit for it. At least nowhere near the credit the Cowboys get for whatever reason they get a ton more praise. I’ve got to work on my brand recognition if this is the thing people believe about me. You weren't alone, I think I introduced the idea as well. If not, I def agreed with if it

    eta: now I cant find the game I thought AD played, I might be wrong about that.

    I already read the article so I know the answer but I would have known without it. That game was so awful but the Bears were in control the whole way because Forte ran for like 800 yards and the defense did the rest. When you look at it through the lens that Bears have had the most consistently bad QB situation in the league, it almost feels like the Bears have overachieved over that 35 year time period. 1 super bowl win, 1 other super bowl appearance, 2 other conference title game appearances, 13 total playoff appearances. All done with Jay Cutler as the best QB in that timeframe. I can already see someone like jersey replying and saying the Bears last 35 years should not be looked as overachieving in any way. Don't get me wrong, the Bears performance in that timeframe is probably within the bottom 10 of the league and should be viewed that way. But somehow we've been able to cobble together the little success that we did have over that span while handicapped at the most important position in sports the entire time. look at it this way, in the last 35 years both the the Vikings and Detroit have been arguably WORSE 0 SB appearances 0 SB wins and neither has won the Division more times then the Bears

    https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2020/10/02/chicago-bears-told-patrick-mahomes-he-was-top-quarterback-choice-2017-nfl-draft-mitchell-trubisky/ If that's true, how the horsefeathers are any of you still Bears fans. bad GM's come and go. or sometimes they evolve. hopefully, Pace is in the process of the latter, but at worst I can rest on the former until the next [expletive] arrives

    Capt Idiot (Happ) overran 1st and was thrown out at first before the second run scored. First they counted the run, then they took it away on replay

    they got tax credits on the money they spent for the work they did on Wrigley, that makes more sense. They dont carry over the tax credits to their additional expenditures, ie just because they did a solid reno on Wrigley doesn't mean they get credits on other money they earn/spend. There are lots of reasons to hate the Ricketts, but this isnt one of them imo. Its a standard way to promote historical renos.

    How tone deaf are these bozos? Cry poor, sell off all their talent, push to build a sportsbook, and now hold a party to celebrate their self-perceived awesomeness including a plaque while their team is 2-18 in their last 20 games. Not only that, but they got the designation for the tax breaks and for no other reason. what? they only get tax exemption if they are a non-profit historical preservation corporation, I dont think they are that. maybe the City gave them some tax breaks, but the City gives lots of orgs tax breaks on their buildings

    I saw Fields running to his left and side arm the ball back to lead a WR moving towards his right. He hit the wr in stride! If that isnt arm strength in your head, you've never tried to make that throw. He must judges a wr's speed sometimes, but when he does it's only be a 1/2 step or so
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    I'm happy

    Suddenly Fields looks like the GOAT
