  1. Sunday's forecast looks like crap. Hopefully it changes a bit between now and then.
  2. Will Kittle dodge his favorite team??
  3. Bears biggest single team market in the NFL, Niners are seen as a SB contender and are also a major franchise with a major following. The Bears seem to get plenty of island games too even when they're expected to be bad. The networks know what they're doing at this point. That's also probably major reason the national media has spent so much time [expletive] on them while not really paying attention or knowing anything about what is going on - they have to justify giving them attention even though they're just run of the mill bad, not WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!!!
  4. Here you go, Derwood
  5. Holy horsefeathers - as an aside, the Packers' practice facility looks like a damn Blaine's Farm and Fleet or something I guess who cares when you luck into back to back HOFers at the most important position in sports.
  6. Nothing other than having a centralized location for all their operations and only one place for players to have to commute to. They're obviously not terribly far from each other (30-40 min drive, 25ish miles) but it just occurred to me when thinking of how the Bulls moved their operations near the UC from Deerfield. Way fewer games for the Bears, obviously. Having an even shinier and newer facility if they're investing all of this money anyway. I guess it's probably not worth wasting the land on a few practice fields, though. Yea and I'd think the business of a stadium area would be a nuisance anf possible distraction. I know Dallas combined their stadium and practice facility, but I'm not sure about any other teams who have. It's Green Bay but I know the Packers do. But yeah, it's Green Bay.
  7. What would the inherent advantage be? Nothing other than having a centralized location for all their operations and only one place for players to have to commute to.

  8. So I know they just spent a ton of money modernizing Halas Hall, but it seems like it would make a lot of sense for them to have their practice facility in their Bears town, no? It would seem that there's more than enough room. I wonder if they're planning on staying in Lake Forest.
  9. (He actually tweeted that 2 days ago but yeah)
  10. the white sox are putting a new spin on the quiet quitting thing with a quiet firing lmao
  11. pretty horsefeathering stoked to see stadium/complex renderings
  12. lions are getting that hard knocks bump. they're not going to be that good
  13. It's supposed to be like their own in house version of Hard Knocks (except even more propaganda-ey) I get that, which is largely why they kind of suck. By minute 8 I want a nap. I could see a 5 minute version being fine. Velus Jones’s toothbrush had a featured role in this thing. yeah, i get it. i eat up behind the scenes stuff like that but there is definitely a good amount of fluff in there. some of that stuff could stand to be in a supplementary video or something for the people who want it, and have the main episode be a more meat and potatoes-ey like 10ish minutes.
  14. These videos are entirely too long. Also funny to see them choosing to feature Mario Edwards complaining about his leg after he got cut. It's supposed to be like their own in house version of Hard Knocks (except even more propaganda-ey)
  15. Yates screwed up - it's Armon Watts, who IS a DL
  16. I think he's just a worse John Fox level weirdo who refuses to say anything concrete to the media.
  17. Yup. Fields was also decent against their defense last year, FWIW, even with the clown show negligent offensive coaching.
  18. And why didn't Eberflus challenge the no catch before halftime? I think that was when it was. Said they basically just missed it.
  19. The secondary is going to be a lot better. Mack only played in 7 games last year and Hicks played in 9. That's a loss but is being overstated as it relates to last year's defense. Eberflus's defenses have shown to perform better than their talent would imply (yes, I know that's very scientific). The "everyone hustle to the ball" thing is going to matter. I don't really care to put much effort into arguing about it, but if you want to wager on a top 10 DVOA finish, gentleman's or otherwise, I'd be happy to oblige :dontknow: top 10? $100 Lol it just occurred to you how this is such a win win for you because if you lose, it's so worth $100 to make 17 Sundays much more enjoyable. I should do the emotional hedge more often.
