Where at? I'm from South Bend. Mom still lives there. Mishawaka We've lived here since 2005. Love the smaller town vibe, no traffic, both our parents are close. Two hours to Chicago/Indy/Grand Rapids Yeah, all the smart people are moving out of South Bend to Mishawaka unless they live in the Notre Dame area.

Yes, it’s pay as you go. We’ve used this company’s suite tickets at MetLife and Prudential probably a dozen times. The only time it’s been stocked was when we had all 16 tix and paid to stock it ourselves. It’s possible that somebody in the group will volunteer to stock it, but doubtful. We occasionally get devils tickets in the section where all the food is free, but you have to buy beer. Same with Mets and Yankees. Wow. That's crazy to me. I've been to a bunch of Pirates games in the suite for my old job. It was technically pay as you go, but the tickets we got were equipped with like $50-60 worth of concessions cash. I went to a Cavs playoff game in a suite in the 2nd LeBron stint and everything was completely free. Appetizers first quarter. Another course 2nd quarter. Full meal at halftime. Taco/nacho/gyro bar in the 3rd. And variety of desserts in the 3rd. Whole time drinks were flowing as well. I would have figured football games would be stocked.

Followed. Are you actually in South Bend? My sister and Bro in law moved there about 3 years ago (both work at ND). Next town over, but yes Where at? I'm from South Bend. Mom still lives there.

I would go. If football suites are anything like baseball or basketball suites that I have experienced, you can eat hella good and get really drunk and not even know the game is happening.

I have no idea how to feel about this. Like there's clearly no reason to rush him. But they can't just hold him out if he's healthy. There still seems to be some uncertainty if there's a real joint injury or more of a banged up scenario. There's no way he'll be completely healed and healthy, Jets pass rush is going to spend the day in Bears backfield, absolutely no reason to play him and expose his shoulder to further injury. It's more about exposing him to further injury than him being completely healed. He's not going to be healed anytime soon. As long as he's not at risk of being hurt worse, it's fine if he plays. I'd rather them give him a week to see how it responds, but I'm sure they wouldn't do anything stupid with him.

I've always disagreed with this premise. Especially in the short term (same game or 1 or 2 games with the starter out), I want a completely different QB. Just throw in a completely different game plan for a team preparing for Justin Fields. It's a tough adjustment on the fly. You aren't going to be as good with the backup QB playing anyway, so I never liked the idea of running the exact same stuff with an inferior player. And if you aren't going to be as good, you might as well be different. If your starting QB is hurt long term, you're screwed anyway.

Nothing to do with that play, but I had been pro re-signing Montgomery all year long, but I think you have to let him go. His ypc is really bad, in a season where Herbert is 1 or 2 in that category in the league. The stuff about him not being an outside zone fit seems to have been proven true. The Bears didn't even run much outside zone on Sunday. I could blame the playcalling, but maybe there's a reason for that. Montgomery doesn't have the speed, vision, or quickness to find and hit that cutback lane. And the OL isn't as good at straight up power run blocking (makes since since they are on the smaller side). I love Monty, but I don't see him coming back at all. Ideally, they'd find 2 RBs this offseason to replace him. Unless they go out and get Saquon or Tony Pollard, I'd like to see a big speed, HR threat RB added along with a short yardage guy. Treston Ebner can hit waivers or be RB4 if they don't want to cut one of their draft picks.

Does not appear it would have been behind Mooney, appears it would have hit him closer to in stride than anything, too bad, may have gone for some major yardage. Yeah from the angle I have been seeing, it looks like it would have been behind Mooney and that it was a bad throw. You also can't see that Montgomery goes and gets that ball when it's in the air (which is what he should do instinctually). But looks like a really good throw by Justin.
-
Just saw the endzone angle and pretty clear Fields was throwing to Mooney, it was accurate, and Montgomery moved into the throwing lane (and jumped) as Fields is releasing the ball. Could you post a link of it? I'd like to see that play the way you are describing it
-
To be fair, it would have been a bad throw to Mooney as well. He was crossing and looks like it would have been behind him.

Sanborn had 2 last week. The defensive line hasn't had a sack since Washington, though.
-
56 yard FG was as bad. 56 yard FG miss led to a short field for the Falcons with short time on the clock and them scoring a FG in a game that was won by 3.
-
Conversely, they have outscored the opponent's offense 6 times this year and all of the last 3 games, and one of the 5 they were outscored was due to a 6 yard TD drive because of muffed punt. Yeah it’s funny. It’s a tank season but there is an alternate reality out there where the Bears are like 6-5 or 7-4 because they didn’t make a bunch of dumb plays to lose the game. But then again they made those dumb plays because they lack talent but you get what I mean. Imagine how different the narrative is if they’re 6-5 with Fields doing what he’s done. That's what gives me hope. They are losing close games and I believe that's a good sign for future success of young teams who are building. It should make a huge difference when they are able to field a professional defense and an offense that can execute a simple normal drop back pass.

Right now, it's #3. Plenty of time to catch them. Sitting Fields will help this franchise in several ways. Well it would ruin my fantasy chances so.....

The game basically came down to the horrific coaching decision to kick a 56 yard FG with like a minute left in the half to give the Falcons a short field to tie it up. Also the 14 QB carries in the 1st half is insane. 9 of those were called runs. And as much as Fields has been running, he's only run that much twice in FULL games. Exactly 14 vs NE. And 15 times vs Miami. Both those totals included a kneel down. He said his legs were shot after last week, so you run him 9 designed times in 1 half against the league's worse pass D? He was cramping all day and you run him the first 2 plays in the 2 minute drive? That's either negligent coaching or actively tanking at the expense of your QB.

Yeah just you

Looks like Schofield is starting and Jenkins is active.

LOL no, but that team is just a mess. The top defense in the league they told us about before the season allowed 27 points, despite getting a redzone turnover and a stop inside the 2 on 4th down. And Rodgers was extremely inaccurate on some pretty pivotal throws, but I'm sure the WR wasn't in the right spot. I was reading that the Packers organization is actually blaming Rodgers for the slow development of their young receivers by not showing up for OTA's, and that his salary dictates he be there for all organizational functions. I've heard the media blaming him, but the organization doing so is huge. That's an ugly situation. I wouldn't be surprised if he retired. They certainly can't trade him. Going to be an interesting last couple months with them out of contention and apparently a rift with their QB. Honestly the best business move for them (if Rodgers doesn't retire) is to let Jordan Love get some play the last few weeks. See if he can play well enough for someone to trade something for him. They are going to have to go cheap on adding a WR, because they don't have the cap room (and there are no good FAs). They have to bring back Lazard, keep developing Watson and Doubs, but they probably need to add a Cooks or Jeudy via trade. A 1st round WR probably isn't a great move as they are already trying to develop those 2 guys and Lazard probably isn't a finished product either.

if that's the case (and my impression was that his pass block grades were still bad but I could be wrong), I can't figure out why the hell his parents are suddenly looking for every opportunity to rip him on Twitter. Are they just mad he's getting all this positive attention? Granted, I'm not sure how long his dad's been ripping him like this. I didn't dive nearly that deep. Seems like a lot just today, though. I'm damn near certain those accounts are at the very least relatives...it couldn't be more transparent and would be a really weird bit for a 12 year old account with like 10 followers lol. My initial thought was the Mustipher's mom stuff was legit and the dad was a troll account made up by someone in response? I didn't look to see when the account was started or how many followers, but I wonder if the @ was changed to suspicious, yet ambiguous s_m_sr or whatever it is and someone is trying to keep the joke running.

There's whispers that Velus may be in the backfield a bit this week. Sounds like for sure will be active on gameday, and I don't believe the Bears have added a RB to replace Herbert. Darrynton Evans is on the practice squad, but I believe they have til today to make that decision. I'm guessing Velus or Ebner on kickoffs. Pettis keeps punt returning, assuming he's active. I don't think Mustipher is being benched. IDK if Jenkins is going to be ready to play. And I think Mustipher has actually been decent (per PFF) since being benched for 10 plays. I'd probably just try any and everything at this point to see what sticks.

So, I was offered a pretty interesting trade and need some advice. I'm a red hot 5-5 and was offered a trade by one of the other handful of teams separated by 0 or 1 games for 2nd place. I give up: Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell I get: Brian Robinson Jr and Cooper Kupp I'm leaning toward no, because Robinson is a borderline starting option. Pierce has been in my flex most of the season. Mitchell coming back from injury and has McCaffery in the SF backfield with him, but Robinson has Gibson. So, that mostly seems like a wash. But the key is Pierce for Kupp. Kupp is out at least 4 weeks. That would put him back for the playoffs and give me an elite WR. But can I lose the 15-16 ppg from Pierce and even make it? Thoughts?
