  1. Bulls timeline cleanser
  2. Not like I expect NFL to be consistent it's just funny because of the Bears own leverage call against them (and a totally inconsequential FG). Anyways, hopefully this helps give McCaskey zero pretext to beleive "if only x had gone differently" to justify keeping Flus.
  3. Can't wait to find out what stupid way they'll lose this time.
  4. It's probably moot but if Flus were canned I kind of would prefer Brown. I get letting him focus on Caleb and not rocking the boat there, but of anyone on the coaching staff he's probably got the most serious credentials as a potential HC candidate. Especially if there was an extended time (like 4ish weeks) where someone was gonna get some run, give him a chance to prove he's the guy. It would ironically be the one thing to somewhat combat the "regime change in year 2" fear every fan has right now. Weirder things have happened right?
  5. Damn, was so close to nailing this one
  6. I have some personal connections on Twitter that keep me engaged there. So a lot of my time is spent in DMs, and not the actual platform. It does seem like many are eager for BlueSky to be Left Truth-social which of course would be pointless as a social media platform. Like Sammy alluded to we all need less ****** social media in our lives. For similar reasons I never wanted to jump into threads either. I'll either live out the Twitter experience forever or until it's too awful to continue, or I'll just revert back to forums full time. So I won't be joining. I hope it works for driving engagement here though. Forums/reddit are infinitely better platforms for meaningful engagement.
  7. Wow. That really has to be a bad sign for his future.
  8. Oh wow let me jot that note down about the 200 club, might forget it
  9. Wasnt Jaylons specific example a guy leaving to pick up his daughter from school? Obviously maybe there's other examples that Caleb could fall under. But at the same time unverified reports love the most salacious rumors. Caleb being the problem would generate the most clicks and attention so who knows if it's true click bait, actual truth, or some combo.
  10. I mean based on what we've seen of him this year, he wasn't holding out. I said at the time, but too many people were treating his contract as the egregious underpay that had to be remedied. And really the only reason people thought that was because his dead cap hits had been erased during the trade and sat in Carolinas books. He was under a pretty normal contract structure and payment schedule that plenty of good players play on into years 3+ of a deal.
  11. There's certainly been no shortage of criticisms on play scheme from the "pro tape watchers" on social media. Hopefully there's real scheme issues that can.be fixed simply. Although it's not like Thomas didn't have a role in scheme design already. So we have to hope his best ideas were being muted or just not transferred into play calling. Wonder if Thomas will just reign in some of the decision making for Caleb. An early theme in the season has always been that Caleb was being asked to do stuff even many veteran QBs struggle with. Maybe Thomas pulls a McVay and is in his new QBs ear and dictating a lot more. Simplify everything and treat him like a rookie.
  12. Calling the players bluff... So dumb. If DJ wants more passes with Bagent he can play scout team all week and then sit Sundays for all I care. There's your bluff.
  13. Don't tempt me with a good time.
  14. I can't remember the Bears ever firing any coach mid-season that wasn't an HR issue like last year. Maybe it will be a sign of change and Flus won't last the whole year as a lame duck. Only question in if it's Poles who's taking charge to admit his mistake or Warren flexes for the first real time.
  15. Lol wut Spread should be 15.5
  16. Not the biggest Bears news of the day. And I don't have a sub to Crains, but headline kind of tells story? Michael Reese hospital site back in play for stadium development https://www.chicagobusiness.com/sports/bears-michael-reese-megadevelopment-new-stadium
  17. Waldron fired. Apparently some players demanded it to Poles/Flus. Also rumors of some players wanting Bagent (per Silvy)
  18. Hosting a neighborly chili cook off Sunday. Going with extra beans in mine so everyones flatuance distracts them from the gut wrenching experience of watching Bears football.
  19. It's something Belicheck would do but I have little doubt he'd actually beleive it and stick to it. Or frankly, much smaller things would have kept him benched long before that. Feels like it's guaranteed to be performative from this staff. Like nearly the entire secondary does stuff where YEA I'm not surprised something like that happened evemtually. But they are the best talent in the team. So is it important or not?
  20. Over .500 for the first time since Trump was president (might be slight exaggeration)
