Mr. WEO

More than half the population of the county lives in Chicago. The folks in northern Cook County and parts west may check out the complex in the off season, but not sure what the big draw would be. A concert here and there. Chain restaurants? A movie theater? Plus it would need massive public funding. If the team is paying for the stadium, it's hard to imagine what incentive the County or state would have to pitch in for this speculative complex.

lol

I. Did. Not. Hit.....that wide open receiver

Adams the best route runner in the league. Evans may not be the best WR on his team.

Phoenix isn't Chicago. Chicago is the entertainment district of Chicago. If they put the Staples Center in Whittier, no one is going there for entertainment on non NFL game days. I guess initially, the folks who live near that Arlington complex would check it out. After that, it's not going to be a draw for people far and wide.

was it better than this?

So you're saying there's still a chance....

Kupp in there. Evans out.

I was there in April.

They trademarked the letter "B"?

The PFT article in OP suggests they don't own the trademark yet.

Yup

True but my point was that all that Rodgers drama amounted to BS--it was just about money.

Rodgers let Adams walk without a peep.

Do McD's hands come together?

I've been--Staples Center is in the heart of downtown LA (i.e. "the city") As an example, it makes a point opposite of that which you are trying to make. Put a Staples Center complex in downtown Chicago and, yeah, people would go in numbers.

this just IN

If QB isn't OOB before the 1st down marker, he gets hit. That's not a penalty. Slowing down before stepping OOB isn't "giving yourself up"

I think he would have the same or similar yardage in Buffalo, where they aren't sending a lot of guys on fly routes. Diggs isn't a big YAC or YPC guy either. Kupp catches everything and is great route runner. Sure Shanahan gave him nearly 200 targets. Any team with a solid QB would use him this way--especially with you only have 1 other threat out there (first Woods, then OBJ), maybe 2 (Jefferson). Kupp was 2nd in yards before reception to Jefferson, ahead of woods and OBJ). He did lead the WR in YAC by a small margin. It does seem that the addition of Stafford changed the way Kupp was used. He got a lot more targets, despite the Rams having similar number of pass attempts the year before with Goff. May also have been a function of Woods being out. He's fast with great hands. Better than the guy who replaced in Minny?

If a QB "fakes OOB" on a Defender, that's on the Defender. You can hit any ball carrier inbounds.

Sacks will be tough. had 42 last year. Less than 10 a game? lol . The Bills #1 D last year gave up nearly twice that.

what is "the system in LA"? Kupp averaged 1070 per year the last 2 years of Goff, then Stafford came in.

the shoutbox will be brutal with the refs suck guys.....

9/10ths of Chicagoland would head over to a stadium complex on non game days to get a bite to eat? Also, while the Bears say the stadium will be privately funded, they are looking for public money to fund the rest of the complex.

They didn't miss the playoffs because of "ruffled feathers". They won 9 games last season. Their prospects aren't great because the AFC is stacked (the NFC is a 3 team conference). You knew that but pretended otherwise. Probably about as likely as the Steelers getting in.
