    Given how much excitement there was about this season, I can’t believe I’m already in “half watch game in the background while I do chores” mode

    Bedard is on pace for 14 goals and 60 total points this year. That seems like a concerning pace
  3. UMFan83
    poor guy…made it 3 whole games before suffering a 2+ month injury (including the 3 weeks he’s already missed). Guy is just made of glass

    Well that was an interesting match. Still have not seen anything particularly impressive from the US under Poch but a CONCACAF away win in a competitive match will always be welcomed. You kinda of see stretches where the US player how I imagined a Poch coached USMNT would look but for long enough periods.

    Thought this was interesting from Reddit re: Players wanting Bagent over Caleb. Seems very plausible knowing Bagent Sr’s personality and Chicago media’s love for reporting unfounded rumors. This just makes a ton of sense so I’m hoping it’s right. As much as Caleb has struggled in recent weeks it just doesn’t make a ton of sense for vets to be demanding Bagent start. And I do absolutely remember the rumors last year about the players and Getsy wanting Bagent over Fields

    I'm actually happy the players are speaking out and not hiding behind anonymous reports, etc. Let it all out there and lets try to reboot this thing and salvage the season. I know they almost certainly won't but it's still all there right in front of us... the injured line is probably the biggest impediment to getting our horsefeathers together at this point.
  8. UMFan83
    On top of all the other ways the Bears look like a horsefeathers show, this is just another thing to throw on the pile. I get that most of the people that evaluate these things are independent but still not a great look.
  9. UMFan83
    At this point its pretty much expected mid-week news: Man I really hope he can recover fully for the sake of his own long term well-being

    I found this very sketchy unverified report. Reading the article, the writer seems very anti-Caleb and wouldn't be surprised if they were a Fields truther. https://www.bearsinsider.com/has-caleb-williams-lost-his-bears-teammates/#google_vignette

    imagine being so unwanted that your team is desperate for healthy offensively linemen and still release you.
  12. UMFan83
    Where are the reports about Caleb not putting the work in? I hadn't seen that yet
  13. UMFan83
    this is how bad it's gotten. We have a Packers fan trying to talk us off the ledge and trying to convince us that the Bears have a chance even though we know they don't
  14. UMFan83
    It is kind of funny to imagine how things would change should the Bears manage to win on Sunday. Given how desperate we are to beat the Packers, how badly the coaching staff needs a win, etc. It could have just as much of a morale boost as the hail mary was a blow to morale.
  15. UMFan83
    No just 8 outs away (albeit with a 1 run lead, not 3 like in 2003)
  16. UMFan83
    I wasn't old enough to remember 1984 so that doesn't sting for me as much, but looking back on it, definitely seems like a painful situation especially with the Cubs tying it in Game 4 late and the Padres getting the walk-off HR by Garvey, then the Durham grounder with a lead in the 7th inning. I always rationalized that we would have been waxed by the Tigers anyways.

    Also don’t forget this glaring red flag from this spring:
  18. UMFan83
    It's just weird that he signed a giant extension right in the middle of that. I mean, yes if someone is throwing big guaranteed money at him, it's not like he's going to just refuse to sign it. He'll take the guaranteed money and then put up a fuss in the future if he decides he doesn't want to be here anymore. But he seemed pretty on board with everything at the time he signed the extension at least.
  19. UMFan83
    This guy is a rando with 800 followers (almost as many as me!), but he was reporting pretty confidently that Waldron was out yesterday evening so I'm interested to read his story about the timeline based on what he might know. Of course the whole thing could be BS but I'm willing to give him a shot.
  20. UMFan83
    Somewhat disagree. All 5 teams suck in part for reasons that can trace back to ownership. For different reasons maybe, but the problem is the owners. They all suck.
  21. UMFan83
    I know we've seen Young and Richardson benched this year and it hasnt completely destroyed their relationship with the team but I don't think you can horsefeathers with benching Caleb regardless of the justification. Just opens up a giant can of worms with Caleb's team
  22. UMFan83
    I've never seen a team that has publicly demanded so many things as this year's Bears team. We're constantly hearing reports, or straight from the players mouths, of what the coaching staff should be doing in their opinion. There is value to having a team that is vocal and not afraid to express their thoughts on things and push for change when change is needed, but this feels more like the inmates running the asylum type of behavior and another major indictment of the coaching staff.
  23. UMFan83
    Caleb's tentativeness needs to be the number 1 thing to fix this week. While I wasn't quite like Kyle rooting for him to throw an INT, I don't think him throwing one would have been the worst thing in the world. He could at least realize that a 3 and out where you take 2 sacks is almost as damaging as an INT...
  24. UMFan83
    He sounds like someone who has no idea what they are talking about so they use a bunch of vague and ultimately meaningless words to describe something
  25. UMFan83
    This press conference is a mess
