    That's embarrassing, but in 2 years it's gonna be the coaches of 9-3 teams doing it so we might as well just get used to people doing this When they expand the playoffs they have to make it more objective somehow. Like the winners of the big 5 conferences + 2nd place for those conferences, +2 wildcards. I don't know how to determine the wildcards. They need to try and force ND into a conference. If they were in the ACC, they'd probably make it 7 out of 10 years. 2nd place being whoever loses the conf champ or the highest ranked left in each?

    I do like beach volleyball, but yes, no need to go *there*

    Being down 2-0 seems bad

    85 Bears D IMO

    To date, they've underperformed their expected W-L by a game or two. Luckily (or not) this team is now dramatically different than even a week ago. But Fields may be enough to play them into stealing a win they have no business in and reverting to the mean. And that likely meaniningless Minny game week 18 scares me the most. there is an alternate reality where the Iggles lose another game (somehow) and suddenly that last week the Vikings are fighting for 1st pace. I dont think its a far fetched idea either, they play the Giants twice and the Cowboys once still with two of those games being away. That's if Minny doesn't drop one too. They're a .500 team masquerading as a two seed. If they really horsefeathers down their leg, maybe they're still fighting for the two seed.

    I can accept it. Put aside high hopes of that top 3 pick. Maybe they still lose every game 40-28, but we may just squeak out a win or 2 or spoil that top 3 pick. Somehow getting to 6 wins would likely be where it hurts. Looking at likely outcomes, 5 wins to 6 is where it probably goes from like 5th/6th pick to falling outside the top 10 altogether. Heading into that last Minny game, Poles can't be too prideful to seal what may be left of the tank in what's certain to be meaningless for both teams. It could be an exact replica of the Eagles situation a few years ago. Will be interesting to see if the playbook is modified at all. I'm more than okay cutting Fields designed runs in half. Lean heavy on RB and play action and screens and get out of this season with some development and health intact.

    Seems simple enough. I'm gonna go lay a bet down now :D

    So if US can beat Netherlands they draw Argetina in quarters?

    Tank tank tank (rest Fields)

    If that happens, Pace better call Carolina and see how bad they want a QB. Or another team who wants to jump ahead of Lions/Seahawks. They’re more likely to give you a haul. Very admirable of Pace to check in on those teams but I think it's better if Poles makes the call :wink:

    Bears radio losing one of their Fields hype men it appears
  14. WrigleyField 22
    I don't care, I'll defend the logic behind that trade. And if someone wants to trade up one spot for the Bears pick they should leverage other buyers for 3 thirds too.

    He’s a free agent. They could franchise him, which would make him no longer inexpensive, and still leave them with no long-term solution and thus likely still wanting to draft a qb. Otherwise he hits the open market and who knows? I was thinking he might get some 2/40-2/50 offers. Seems like a reasonable risk. 2/50 with 30 guaranteed, easy, if he hits market IMO.

    He’s a free agent. They could franchise him, which would make him no longer inexpensive, and still leave them with no long-term solution and thus likely still wanting to draft a qb. Otherwise he hits the open market and who knows? Non exclusive franchise wouldn't be that expensive as a one year bridge deal.

    I know it's a long shot but I'm keeping an eye on the Houston scores. mineaswell dream big Houston's impossible to catch. With that tie, the Texans have to win 3 more times if the Bears lose out. They end with Jacksonville and the Colts, but have Browns (Watson revenge factor), Cowboys, Chiefs and Titans in the next 4. Actually I think they only need two more W if Bears lose out. That tie basically acts like a half win doesn't it?

    Draft positioning rooting interests Patriots over Bills Steelers over Falcons Ravens over Broncos Jaguars tie Lions (or Jags win) Texans over Browns Jets over Vikings Giants over Commanders Titans over Eagles Rams over Seahawks Dolphins over 49ers Chiefs over Bengals Raiders over Chargers Colts over Cowboys Saints over Buccaneers Packers @ Bears, no comment

    Met life is a hell hole
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Before this weekend I felt pretty confident they'd fall no further than 8th. Now I'd say 7th. If they lose out they'll do no worse than 3rd. With 4 wins I could see 5th. As low as 7th with 5 wins. Don't see them finding 3 more wins. But even at 6 wins I think it could all still work out
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Pretty surprising. Think 2024 is gonna be another QB year early so he's gonna struggle to get top 3 and likely would be top 10 as is.
  22. WrigleyField 22
    I guess it depends on where the Bears end up. If it is #2, and there is a big demand then sure, take all the 1sts you can get. But I feel like that needs to happen in conjunction with a good FA period, ie picking up maybe Jenkins (OT) and Payne as well as some other useful pieces, especially on O. I'm of the opinion that nothing in the draft should impact how they attack FA. They need to sign at least 6 Big-ish FA deals. At least 2 on each line and then another 2 at various spots. Then fill in with depth after that. Even after all of that, they'll have opportunities to upgrade at multiple spots at the draft. There wont be a position where I think you can say "there's not room" for a top flight prospect. But they'll be covered "enough" at every spot to be trying for WC/division in 2023 if they hit on those FA.

    Yea if we're talking unrealistic trade expectations we could go with the very recent 49ers Trey Lance trade. The best part of that one too is that it happened early on in draft process. Give Poles plenty of time to wheel and deal with extra picks in hand.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Nope https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Williams_trade

    At this rate Lions may get that second pick all by themselves from the Rams pick. Rooting like hell for a Rams-Broncos tie when they play.
