The Peanut Punch was that good though. 44 forced fumbles. 6th all time. Everyone above and within 8 FF of him is a pass rusher that forced fumbles by blindsiding QBs. Closest DB to him is Brian Dawkins, a recent HOF at safety. He's also tied for 15th in passes defensed. Ronde Barber (has a HOF case as well) and Champ Bailey (HOF) are the only exclusive CBs to have more all-time tackles where Tillman is 35th all time in solo tackles. If Tillman could have stayed healthy 2 more years late in his career, he would have likely hit 40-45 INTs and 50 FF (top 3 all time), which would have made him a shoe-in. He's also well respected and an ultimate good person and former Walter Payton man of the year winner and is doing the FBI stuff, which may also play into swaying some votes on the fence. I guess ulitimately that HOF Monitor gets quite a bit of influence from AP/PB bids which is what Tillman has to overcome as he wasnt as appreciated as he should have been most his career.

Peppers will make it, though I know people won't think of him as ours. But guys don't go in under a team for the NFL HOF.
-
Pro football references HOF monitor doesn't put any of those guys particulary close. Obviously Hesters credentials are gonna be hard to accurately reflect with that as they're trying to compare him to WR. Tillman going in basically on the basis of the Peanut punch? I don't know.

Huh? You think the OL was good yesterday? I think the Browns D is going to pose a much bigger challenge than the Bengals. The Browns are better, but they did... Fine? I would like to see some line improvements next year, but there was a lot of doom and gloom about the line which clearly hasn't materialized through 2 games.
-
Yeesh.

Huh?

Come on Fields. Never give those keys back.
-
-
It will be interesting to see how he does if he plays next week with a full week of game install. It's a much better D and if he comes out crisper we may chalk it up to not having a game plan installed and 1st team snaps all week. Of course even if he plays out the season and generally proves he's ready I'll expect some big up and down moments still. Especially with young QBs, I think fans make the mistake of treating every positive and negative game as determinate of a direction when in reality, sometimes it's just gonna be noisy.

If they end up not looking back with Fields I look forward to big pass plays hopefully becoming a feature. Dalton played okay but was dunking and dunking a lot. Fields had a couple nice deep balls, and the one drop from ARob was an inexcusable drop. Hopefully more reps with ones the false start issues are resolved. Seemed to be cadence related.

It is going to get him more experience. He'll have gone through 2-3 post game film sessions, which are different than college. He'll have gone through a few game weeks, which are different than college. He'll have seen NFL defenses going full speed, which is different than college. If you value the things that experience can give you a couple weeks does matter. It's about making him comfortable and not throwing him to the wolves with a battered offensive line. It's a reasonable approach to take. I think it's probably needlessly conservative, but I'm also not gonna start bleeding from my eyeballs from rage over it. All year I might eyeball bleed from rage.

But it would be a really awkward moment between the Phillips haters and the "Akshually Phillips doesn't matter" guys like me. well, if its Phillips who does get Fields to start, then he clearly does matter and you are wrong sir (I dont know how I feel on that issue, I just want Fields to play) But the Phillips haters will have to tip their cap. Who blinks first?
-
I dont think it would be hilarious, it would be wonderful and give me some idea that the team has at least some intelligence at its upper leadership levels. But it would be a really awkward moment between the Phillips haters and the "Akshually Phillips doesn't matter" guys like me.

Another grain of salty guy https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears-rumors/rumor-matt-nagy-faces-mounting-internal-pressure-to-play-fields/?amp&__twitter_impression=true It would be hilarious if Fields saved Nagy's ass and the season because Ted and George of all people weighed in.

They don't have a seat at the table. So no? -
New CBA negotiations
WrigleyField 22 replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in General Baseball Talk
I still like my arbitration buyout idea. Will probably be effectively a big revenue sharing transfer between big market and small market teams, almost like the Euro loan model. Introduces extra freedom of player movement, and tamps down the advantage of service time manipulation (buyout amount would primarily be a function of age, not service time), but not leave teams empty handed. And it's relatively simple instead of needlessly complex. And maybe that could eliminate the pick comp model, which harms guys markets so much. Teams can just expect to be financially comped if a good/great player departs (maybe throw in a draft pool bonus on top as comp, similar to the NFL comp model which doesn't penalize teams/players directly, just a set pool for the losers to draw from. Put Manfred on the line. -

I hate it (only read your tl:Dr summary) -
Recency bias, bettors overreact to week 1. Look ahead line prior to week 1 had the Bears at -4.5. I think the best bet is the over in this game actually. Its going to be 90F on Sunday, defenses will be gassed. Bears better switch to their white jerseys for this one. https://www.chicagobears.com/photos/2021-chicago-bears-jersey-schedule Nope they will foolishly be in their dark jerseys. Weird jersey schedule...wearing the navys 6 of the first 8 games, and then only 2 times in the last 9 games (because of the throwback being a white jersey, plus the orange alternate) And they're not wearing orange on Halloween which is when I thought they always tried to wear that one.

Had a hard time finding Montgomery on this chart at first.
-
So the Bears D (I know the O isn't good here either, but not also the worst)
-
If they were going to trade Mack the time to do it was before they converted his base salary this year. Not that they still couldn't and maybe it makes him more valuable since it eats cost for receiving team... But they aren't gonna do it. Really wonder what Gruden would have offered up though.

What should I work on next?
WrigleyField 22 replied to Tim's topic in North Side Baseball Issues & Suggestions
same! Third. They are actually easy enough to exit out, but it totally messes up the "go to last read" functionality, and then I end up at the top of every page. That's the most annoying part for me. -
It was reminiscent of a solid Trubisky 2020 outing. Executed what was asked of him which was very little. The stats aren't gonna look good when receivers arent running past 10 yards.
-
He was just banking on everyone trusting the KC process I guess. Until he realized that wasn't gonna work so he played him 5 random snap? Literally can't understand the thought process.
