  1. Let the bidding war begin between the Colts, Raiders, Falcons and Panthers (the Broncos and Rams do not have top 10 picks thanks to the win now deals they made). I'd also be curious if Houston was willing to pull a Trubisky with the Bears and trade a bunch of draft assets to make sure they get their guy at 1, and then trade down again from 2 to 4/7/8/9 to pull additional draft capital. Ending up with something like the 4 pick, and then 33 and 35, and two additional third round picks, and a couple of high 2024 picks, would be quite the haul. I've seen that proposed a lot and it seems almost too good to be true. The Texans seem like a stupid organization and I bet they will not want to trade with the Bears due to the sting of losing the pick in the last moment. They'll be satisfied with Stroud/Levis. But I'm completely open to everything, whatever gets us the most capital while still getting us a high impact player in the 1st round.
  2. You can feel the anger in the timing of the announcement
  3. I replied to that back in Sept and said that while they will likely be underdogs in every remaining game they would probably cobble together a couple of wins and go 5-12. Over the last couple hours random people have replying to dunk on me for suggesting that they may only be 5-12 bad instead of 3-14 bad. It shouldn't take much googling to find Bears fans with much worse takes.
  4. Curious to hear thoughts on what the Bears should do at RB this offseason. Certainly not even a top 10 priority this offseason but with Monty's FA, the amount of resources the Bears have, and the number of high profile RBs available, its worth discussing. Among the FA's are Saquan Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard and Miles Sanders. Are any of them enough of an upgrade over Monty to spend a little more resources to acquire? Barkley seemed to wear down this year as time went on and Jacobs got a ton of usage this year so that concerns me a bit. Tony Pollard though.... 25 years old, has never been a primary back for a full season so his legs have relatively limited miles, and has shown the ability to step up and actually outplay Zeke for the Cowboys. Or do you just resign Montgomery or make Herbert the primary back and draft a 1a to go with him?
  5. Cardinals lose, Broncos win so I think that makes the Colts 4th overall. Good spot if you want trade down to if you are ok with getting whichever of Anderson or Carter is not taken already
  6. Honestly this seems like a weak election year attempt to show that Chicago is trying to keep the Bears. Weak because no one really believes the city of Chicago would be able to complete such a project and also because the city basically already drove the Bears away.
  7. Shocker. I'll take Justin Fields and Will Anderson plus another 1st and some other early round picks.
  8. Still a little upset the Bears don't also hold pick number 32. But hey great catch today Chase. Current draft picks: 1 (1) 2 (56) 3 (65) 4 (103) 4 (133) 5 (136) 5 (150) 7 (220)
  9. So if you follow the Jimmy Johnson chart, the difference between 1 overall and 2 overall is roughly a mid-2nd round pick. And if you compare the difference between 1 overall and 4 overall which the Bears could have fallen to with a win, the difference is roughly the 12th overall pick. Great day for the organization. Now lets never do this again.
  10. Texans over midfield…
  11. What was on the line? Pole position to draft his replacement lol
  12. horsefeathering Davis Mills. Colts now driving for the lead
  13. Ugh, Colts TD. Texans lead trimmed to 3
  14. Velus has his breakout game in a game we desperately want to lose.
  15. Colts had the ball in the red zone but Ehlinger threw an INT. This is incredible. We'll be talking about this day for years.
  16. I'm only half watching and I saw a ball float into the arms of a Vikings player and thought it was a punt lol
  17. ugh texans fumble away in the red zone
  18. TOUCHDOWN TEXANS and TOUCHDOWN VIKINGS!
  19. a) looks cool b) cant see it ever happening like this even if the Bears were on board c) how do you create a hype video and then put an image of the Bears down 14-0 to the Packers in it? I guess they were going for realism?
  20. Enduring the progression of Lauri and Carter Jr. is a terribly frustrating thing to watch this year Is there really that much progression with WCJ? Just looking at the basic stats his per game increases seem to be related to more minutes and he still has issues staying on the court. I didn’t look too deeply so there could be some advanced stats that show an improvement but not like he’s an all star
  21. Hell yeah!
  22. This is quoted from a tweet from someone who protects their tweets so I can’t link it directly Not sure how I feel about the FO sourcing ideas from Twitter :D
