Also hired Rick Dennison who he fired. That’s both offensive and defensive coordinators that have quit/been let go. McD has run his course, the franchise needs a new voice at the top.

Josh Allen for CJ Stroud straight up?? 🤣

It’s an overpay when you have to give up a premium draft pick on top of extending him for top dollar. This isn’t a Von Miller in his prime type of player and I don’t think his contract would have exceeded what he got from the Bears if he did hit free agency.

Wasn’t Tua’s best game. He definitely missed some “big gain” throws that were there to be made. He hasn’t missed those often this season and if he had hit on them, the fishies win the contest.

They’re not a defensive end away from being competitive. Any team that doesn’t have an established starting QB has to find that guy first before beefing up the roster, that’s why these other bottom feeders are sellers, they need cheap rookie contracts. And I still don’t believe the Bears would’ve had to outbid some other team in free agency and arrive at a number that was MORE than what they just signed him for.

I like when the TV ref contradicts the flag on the field OR says a review should stand and then it’s overturned (or vice versa). Just goes to show the level of subjectivity between two different people looking at the same play. Really shouldn’t be that way. And the league will continue to survive as long as people keep watching. Remember, the commissioner of the NFL who was just extended to another monster contract said “officiating has never been better than it is today.” He and apparently the owners are fine with it all… because that money keeps rolling in.

What. Are. The Bears. Doing?! First of all, Sweat was a free agent after the year, they could’ve handed him the bag without losing a draft choice. No other team was paying Sweat close to $25M/yr. All this before they’ve even seen him take a snap in their defense. I could run that organization better and do it for less than half of what Poles is making 😅 Poor Bears fans.

If only I (and the vast majority of others) had the will power to do this, the NFL would be forced to adjust because viewership is their money press. We all complain about roughing the passer specifically, but when Goodell comes out and makes a nonsense comment that “officiating has never been in a better place,” there’s no impetus to change. The fans, disgusted as they are, keep watching so money keeps flowing. The public has the power to change the product, but short of people refusing to watch, the NFL can do what it wants and tell us “we don’t care about your b*tching.”

NFL refs have too much influence on the game and are responsible for the disjointed flow of the game. I only want blatant penalties called, nothing questionable or ticky tack. I want roughing the passer to genuinely be roughing the passer. If something happens that doesn’t affect the outcome of the play, don’t throw the flag, or pick it up. Tired of the refs and tired of talking about their incompetence.

What I want to see, which the Bills haven’t done yet, is line up in shotgun on the 1, have Allen do some of his usual checks, then walk up to the line pointing defenders out before hurriedly taking the snap for a QB sneak. Try to catch the defense off guard that way.

Oh wow, I saw the account had personal pics so I just assumed. The length some people will go through.

Everything happened in London. Wish we could go back in time and have a do over on that game.

No defensive TO? I thought calling one was mandatory.

Just a terrible angle by the safety Edmunds there. No wonder he’s on his 3rd team.

Would’ve been an even bigger advantage for MIA if they had been there for a week already. I compare this travel schedule to the Titans/Ravens. Ravens left on Monday, Titans later in the week. Ravens won the game, but I’m not sure how much their early arrival helped.

I wonder if those two off the couch are better than Settle and Ford who have been getting live game reps.

First game Nick Bolton doesn’t play and the Broncos moved the ball against that 2nd ranked D relatively easy. Now imagine if they were also down their best CB Sneed and also their 2nd best DT Nnadi. For the year. Makes a significant difference in the defensive performance. At least for them that’s not the case AND they get Bolton back in a few weeks. Injuries are the great equalizer.

Beane didn’t say he’d be inactive for the game. He said he’ll leave it up to McD as far as how much he plays (or if he doesn’t). Only thing Rasul might miss this week is the walk-through today.

Used to be. They’re much fewer now post pandemic.

As evidence by the Edmunds contract. If Johnson leaves in FA next year they’ll likely get a comp pick for him anyway.

I’m not usually a trade for this guy! Trade for that one! Sort of person, but if Beane sits on his hands and does nothing, considering the injuries we have and the inevitability of a weaker roster once these contracts start escalating next year, I’ll lose all faith in him. It’s not like he’s a strong drafter anyway.

So predictable, I called it in the offseason. I thought it would take about 4-6 games though, but they were already on him by game 2. Whoever pushed for him on the Bears pro personnel department should be fired.

If he does get moved, I only want a player for player deal, no draft picks. Take a disappointing pick off of another team and hope he’s our second chapter of Jerry Hughes vs Kelvin Sheppard. DT Mazi Smith, CB Emmanuel Forbes, LB Devin Lloyd, etc.

Thats how it happened too, late to the play and someone fell into his leg.

Injured.
