I always hated the HOF perspective on that. It’s 33% of the game, and you’re going to tell me that just because the player may not have “excelled” at a skilled position that they didn’t do enough? A kicker, punter and long snapper all have one job and they command roster spots for that reason. Why are returners looked over unless they did things in addition to the return game?
Peppers was really good for us despite being past his prime. Jared Allen was a ghost.
Haven’t they been through enough? Cmon, let them have it.
Bears, take notes.
Imagine getting a call from a child dealing with a life altering diagnosis, telling you they are your fan. I hope they can get to a game and he gets to meet Stone.
Also, the dad got laid off and the mom drives for Uber?? What a terrible time in their lives. I hope Stone was able to help them smile a bit.
It’s like when your kid goes to college, you’ll see him a couple times a year to catch up. But, you know he’s going on to do great things.
So many people are calling or Jim Harbaugh to the Bears. Please give us Ben Johnson instead (sorry Lions bros).
With stats like this, you have to point to the coaching staff. Justin Fields played fine. The last play was meh, but you hope your line holds up, and I can’t place that all on QB1.
Defense did their best but we didn’t capitalize with three turnovers. We got way too conservative in our play calling.
What I would have given to see them both live. I’ve watched every highlight tape, but my family always said no one ran like Gale. No one hit like Butkus. It was before my time.
I’m sorry about the Browns. Browns fans deserve better. But hey, you found another team with historic QB challenges, great running backs, that prides itself on defense. Not so different!
One of us! One of us!
Three distinct ones. Jim Miller raising his hands after a victory, and my dad saying “I hope this one sticks around. I like him.” Oof
Second was Kordell Stewart doing a play action pass against the saints where the announcer said “this is what Kordell needs to do more.”
When we drafted Brian Urlacher. Dang that was a lifetime ago.
Payton didn’t score in that game, but you sure did
First, we have to address our Free Agents:
Needs/Realistic:
Danielle Hunter (Edge) - Vikings
Connor Williams © - Miami
Justin Madubuike (DT) - Ravens
Nice to Haves/probably too expensive:
Brian Burns (Edge) - Panthers
Chase Young (Edge) - 49ers
Tee Higgins (WR) - Bengals
Mike Evans (WR) - Bucs
Calvin Ridley (WR) - Jags
Chris Jones (DT) - Chiefs
If we don’t draft MHJ then I think you target Marquise Brown from the Cardinals.
Unfortunately, I agree. I hope if he does get traded somewhere else, he is succcessful.
Most people in the Bear’s sub have been making noise about Jim Harbaugh, but Ben Johnson is probably the best choice. The rapport with his players, what other coaches say about him, his pedigree for coaching with Tight Ends, Wide Receivers, QBs, and now OC with the results he’s delivered are top notch.
This is going to sound so cheesy - I like the kid as a person. I want him to be successful. I think he carries himself well on and off the field. His support of Bagent during his injury is just further proof of that. I hope he returns to his form against the Commanders and Broncos and remains consistent. It would be good for him and good for the team. If he’s not consistent, I don’t see how the Bears move forward with him. I think he gets another year regardless, but whether or not the Bears take a QB depends on his performance.
I love the way Fields carries himself on and off the field. His teammates speak very highly of him whether in college or professionally. He really seems like an all around good guy. I have no ill will toward the kid, successful with the Bears or not. I hope he has a good career, but I really hope it’s with us.
Honestly, not well. I would like to see some investment in the Dline. If that means we trade down, then so be it. I think we take MHJ, trade down, take an edge rusher.
He’S a SyStEm QuArTeRbAcK!
