Its always after Fields has made a couple nice plays too. Always. Be You Nagy. Be You.

Graham trying to fill a DB spot for next year. Grant... Trying to do something lol.

Deon Bush, Questionable to return, broken ankles
-
I mean it's perfectly reasonable to ajust expectations and confidence levels based off the 9 game sample. He's still by far the most promising Bears QB probably ever. At least in my lifetime.

Nagy word jumble time.

I suppose the one thing that will help is most players seem to have per game roster bonuses which I don't believe are guaranteed. So a guy with a 500k roster per game bonus being replaced with 850k 2 year min vet is only a 350k incremental cost (pro-rated each week). So I guess theres a pay for there. But I'd have to double check on guarantees there because I know base salary automatically vests for vesting veterans who are on the roster week 1, but I don't know for sure on the roster bonus point.

Nope. Every player on the roster counts. Practice squad too. Nah, salary cap only counts top 53 highest paid players. No. Your 53 active + IR + Practice squad all count. The only caveat I guess with the 53 man is guys only on a week or two do get pro-rated only the weeks they were on the 53. So at any given three your 53 is your top 53. There is the offseason 51 rule, but that switches as soon as preseason ends. Edit-IR in this case also includes the covid list.

Yay since I'm going to my first game in years next week.

Ironically, the failure to be aggressive probably hurt their chances to win more than the opposite. 14-13 Chargers lead. Score a TD to go up 20-13, they kick the PAT instead of going for 2. That kept it a 1-score game, 21-13. If they go for 2 and get it, they're up 9 and the Chiefs have to score twice (which they did), but they'd also need two 2pt conversions once the Chargers scored again late. If they go for 2 and they fail, they're up 7 and the game is tied anyway as the Chiefs just kick PATs and don't have to go for 2 unless they are being super aggressive. So, there was really no difference between being up 7 or 8 points in the long run. Yea, the 2 pt analytic wave hasn't even really hit yet even though many coaches have gotten better on the 4th down analytics. Except for of course our own Matt Nagy. Addendum to that. Actually I'm okay going up 8 in that situation. Still value in forcing the 2PTA and if you do go up 9 you just signal KC to go into hurry up. But it seems to be one of those close call situations from a model sense.

Legit low key its great that the Bears moved Quinn's cap hit earlier in the season because at least they have cap space to absorb all the players they'd need to sign off the street. Right now if the Ravens had an outbreak they might legit end up using every last penny of cap space to sign replacementa, and even then run out. I don't see much money they have left to move this late in the season. NFL teams. Just defer every last dollar you can, at minimum after the trade deadline, if not when the season starts.

Didn't even watch tye game last night, but enjoying the meatballs meltdown on Staleys agressive decision making. The most interesting dynamic is the "smash em in the mouth" meatball fan not supporting agressive tactics.

If you have a pair of football cleats and can produce a negative PCR covid test from the past 24 hours, please report to Halas Hall at 9am tomorrow morning ready to train with the Chicago Bears.
-
Noooo I want to see a Matt Nagy coached game without any of his coaches and calling plays so I can hate watch. First Nagy screws up the headsets, now he gave Lazor Covid just so he can call plays.....that maniacal bastard! Next he's gonna marry old lady Ginny and inherit the damn keys to the franchise.

Yea I wouldn't be surprised if some attorneys pile up a huge list of anyhting remotely possible as cause and hold that litigation threat over Meyer for a settlement to get out of some but not all payments.

Holy horsefeathers just forfeit lol.

Week 14: BEARS at Packers, Sunday Night Football
WrigleyField 22 replied to raw's topic in Other Sports
So I've been on a mission to mock all the President of Football Ops proposals I see thrown around, and after some discourse I think I finally have the most concise way to express my issue with most of these plans. In any well run business a leader needs KPIs that track their performance. In a very general sense, the typical NFL KPIs are probably, Pres/CEO - Revenue, profit GM/HC - Wins, perhaps playoff success In a new power structure, what is the main KPI of President of Football Ops? Thats the critical question I would have. I think it's very difficult to create responsibilities and incentives around these roles that make sense and aren't either just title creep or ignore any business component. And due to NFLs inherent interest in anti-tampering and Rooney rules, there is really tight coalescing around the football role responsibilities too. Does this make sense? -
Caveat, there is no such thing as a cool billionaire. Relatively did the heavy lifting okay
-
A harrowing reminder that even if you get a relatively cool eccentric billionaire owner, these [expletive] don't know what they're doing.

I'm not convinced most college coaches are real functioning adults. They just get by on the same type of "leadership traits" that work on naive 18 year olds who allow themselves to get hazed.

Week 14: BEARS at Packers, Sunday Night Football
WrigleyField 22 replied to raw's topic in Other Sports
Its literally like an 11 part article. Tough to quickly synopsis, but it probably has about 6+ named people providing quotes (none of them provide anyhting mind breaking, but pretty big names, Fencik, Mannely, Kreutz, Dungy) and several unnamed sources providing background info on Pace and Phillips. [highlight=yellow]Biggest bombshell is Phillips has privately discussed distancing himself from Football Ops fully.[/highlight] I read the highlighted part this morning as well, but dif article. However, I didnt know Dungy was connected to the Bears, at all. How is that so? They got Dungy on record just talking about the Bears org pretty broadly and the current team construction. Like I said it's well sourced so he got lots of Bears outsiders to contribute, though many off the record. -

I paid 1.20 for a 12 week trial and found it worth the 1. 20. It was a deeply sourced article. oh yea? synopsis, please Its literally like an 11 part article.

Lots of apathy, including from me and no week 15 thread yet. Anyone else read the Wiederer piece today? https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/bears/ct-chicago-bears-fire-matt-nagy-ryan-pace-20211215-guyhqzffxzbi5juq5cgkfftv7m-story.html
