    Wooooooaaa doggie, let the bidd'n start

    I will be royally pissed if we do not sign Payne if he's available. Clear need, young proven stud, lots of space. Guys like him don't hit the market more often than not. Can't afford to punt two offseasons in a row on some absurd value principle. It's not absurd at all. And there will be 30 other teams trying to sign him. It makes no sense to be pissed off if Payne decides to pick Miami over playing over Chicago or something. Just setting yourself up to be disappointed. But yeah, I explained the value thing. I don't think you are clear on what I am saying. Value does not mean, cheap. To me, value = a convoy of dump trucks full of cash and Poles singing "I love you truly" at Paynes front door would be a good start

    This is what gets me, even if he wants to be frugal, poles has to spend. Might as well throw money at a premium player who plays a premium position

    Someone summed it up in the Reddit comments. Fields loves to throw the ball deep and has the exact opposite roster he needs around him to play to his strengths. LOL. The OL can't hold up long enough for him to get the ball down the field effectively. He also threw the fewest number of tight window throws according to Next Gen Stats. So that basically means either guys aren't separating enough or he isn't anticipating well enough....which both are true. The tight window stuff, I don't really care about. If he doesn't want to throw into tight windows too much, then get guys that are better at getting open. But they really gotta protect him going forward. Heavy resources need to go into the OL this offseason. You can survive with Mooney, Claypool and whatever, but you gotta be able to execute a simple 3-5 step drop back passes. yea, their inability to do that gives me hope that Claypool/Mooney/whoever/Kmet can be a good corps in time. its so hard to tell when the dt is 2' from Fields face in less then 2 seconds

    A former exec who sucked at his job yet holds himself in high regard I mean, even with the fact he sucked, he talks about his experience like he was just in the league. He got canned in 2010. Like his tidbits might have some anecdotal value, but it's not like he was a former GM. That's what I couldn't place. I googled him today and a linked in page came up suggesting he was still director of college scouting or some horsefeathers, but I didn't think he was. It was at work, so I didn't save the link...and now I can't find it again. Regardless, I clearly get the animosity now

    why do we hate Greg Gabriel again?
  8. minnesotacubsfan
    does this go here or in the "me too" thread? https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/01/sport/philadelphia-eagles-player-rape-charges-spt-intl/index.html

    Sounds like a scene from Roots
  10. minnesotacubsfan
    That's also a trade the raiders could give up for Rodgers
  11. minnesotacubsfan
    In this scenario using the #7 pick on a LB should be a firing offense. I would agree, but I'm more excited about 3 1st rd picks + + + + that trade would set the Bears up nicely for years
  12. minnesotacubsfan
    Holy horsefeathers that's a haul

    I really like Harry, but there's a reason I don't want him back. The Bears are already bringing back Mooney, Claypool, Velus Jones and St. Brown. Harry would be the 5th WR on a roster that usually carries 6. I know they carried 7 a lot of this year, and they could cut Jones, St. Brown and/or Harry for minimal dead cap, but I'd hate for them to get rid of Jones so quickly after flashes in the 2nd half, and obviously cheap rookie deal and great speed. St. Brown they obviously value by locking him up before the season ended. So, that limits the number of spots you have to truly upgrade the WR position. I just don't see much of a path to improvement if you bring back 5 of the 7 players on a bottom 5 WR depth chart in the league. The FA market is soft on WR's this year, right? If so bring back Harry and draft one. Spend more picks/cap money on protecting Fields up front and let's see what he can do with this group. Then maybe we can make a bigger splash at WR next offseason. Just spitballing here off the top of my head. Sure. And if you p/up Pittman or whoever in a trade, it helps your cause overall.

    That, there ladies and gents could be the #1 tank roster of all time

    Bosa (either one) was not an obvious home run I have to admit, I might be wrong about Anderson. David pointed out that Carter was drawing "Darnold" comparisons and last season, Carter was clearly stronger than Anderson. How far would the Bers drop before you would feel comfortable still getting Carter?

    I may be in the minority, but i wanted the Bills to win bah

    Propane is stupid and useless and imparts no flavor. I have a Weber kettle and a kamado and it takes me maybe 5 minutes longer to be cooking on the Weber than it does on a gas grill. I ditched my gas grill and went straight Weber kettle, I've never regretted that. Oysters are easier on gas but man does charcoal open up their flavor, steaks too. But truly the best nachos are via cast iron and wood fire I'm closing, cooking set ups can very greatly on your food choice. Experiment, but choose wisely

    its clearly a sign from JF: beef up cuz I'm getting blasted straight up the middle, beotch

    horsefeathers ya Says suburban dad

    I think he missed one last week too. Reminds me of Parkey ruining our playoff win when he should have been replaced a long time before. hasnt there been a ton of missed xp's this year? of has it just been the Bears?
  21. minnesotacubsfan
    Nah, Dallas kicker will be fine next week. Dallas has a shot at the SB if Hurts is out. No other NFC team is as put together, SF being the closest.
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    That was crazy
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    Beautiful
