Budda Baker went into IR which ends any distant hope of the Packers trading for him. Guess we're rolling with Savage and a bunch of losers for the rest of the season at safety.

Shrimpy posted:Is there any indication why, rather than naturally build off what was "working" towards the end of last year, they've just reverted back to a system Fields seems incapable of running? For the same reason James Daniels and Roquan weren't a fit. Or why all the big name free agent lineman just didn't fit in with what the Bears wanted. Why the team spent a ton on linebackers in 2023, passed on a generational talent at DT, and let David Montgomery walk. The Bears have a system and scheme that trumps everything. And only certain players can work in that system, so all that other talent around the league is not worthy. Meanwhile teams like the Ravens cater their offense around their athletic quarterback and play to his strengths. The Chiefs reconfigure their defense around their talent. The Bears in the meantime will sit back and wait till the next Aaron Rodgers falls in their lap and fixes everything.

Lamar Jackson his second year in the League won MVP, and had over 3k yards passing, Mahomes ditto only 5k yards passing and won the superbowl lol. Lamar Jackson his rookie year was seeing the field in the passing game better than Fields seemingly is now. Fields 3rd year in the league, is not able to see or anticipate poo poo, and is still making the same mistakes he's made for the past 3 years.

The Bears should look to Chicago's mercantile history and focus on being true draft capitalists. It's in their blood after all. Look at how they raced after that number one pick last year. Just accumulate draft picks over everything else.

Maybe the next coach will know what to do with Fields and whatever talent there is on the team. I know their a rival but it's painful to watch.

Look at how they raced after that number one pick last year. Just accumulate draft picks over everything else. They could take a page from the city's bootlegging history. Tilt the scales in your favor by suiting up 80 players on game day, and just have multiple players of similar size wear the same number to hide it. Spread the work around and they'll have much fresher than their opponents.

Maybe it’s time to just fold the Bears as a franchise? There comes a point when these perpetual moribund teams are an embarrassment to the sport as a whole.

This really is a sad sack division. One team with a single title to its name despite being in a top media market, another team with a single playoff win despite two of the best to ever play their positions, a third team that failed at the last second over and over and over, and the final team only wins once every twenty years despite having the organizational talent to dominate long term

I used to be like, WAY more upset about the Packers losing. 2011 against the Giants? 2012 against the 49ers? loving 2013 against the 49ers?? The 2014 NFCCG broke me. Now I just enjoy the ride and look for the upside. If they lose, well, that sucks, I sleep it off for a couple hours. I don't really expect any more than that. 2015? Injuries, no business getting that far. 2016? Incredible amounts of luck to run the table, not remotely shocking the luck ran out against Julio Jones. 2017, 2018? Injuries.Whatever. 2019, 2020, 2021? Same ol' Packers.

LSU getting shut out in the BCS championship within a week of each other did this to me as a Louisiana football fan. At most I can muster a brief melancholy over a bad loss now.

I will still allow myself to hope and believe when a team starts showing promise but if (when) it all comes crumbling down it's just like "welp, business as usual then"

The bar is the floor for the Lions. But if they did win a Super Bowl people would go absolutely loving bananas. Hockey is not for me and the Pistons have sucked for 15 years straight so no those things don't help.

However I get the impression that folk are just desperate to get over that initial hump of winning the division and winning a play-off game. I think that would be such a monumental relief for this fanbase that it would probably feel like a Super Bowl appearance. The Super Bowl itself almost feels like some sort of ethereal, abstract concept and I think the Lions as an organisation need to celebrate some hurdles before that even feels like a realistic thing to think about. That brings its own pressures, though. 2-0 with a proper +1 game lead in the division would have been so nice and bread so much confidence that not doing really loving stings. Again, I'm a new fan but there haven't been many Lions games that have felt so god drat frustrating as this Seahawks L. Way worse losses, sure, but just in terms of the desperation to actually meet some sort of success bar this year..

This year they would have won except for the fumbles. It's frustrating to see the improvement and then see "TRADE COUSINS! TRADE JEFFERSON!" as the reaction.

This is the saddest division in the NFL. I believe it's the only div that has not had more than 2 teams in the playoffs since 2000, though this did happen once:

GenericMartini posted:The Minnesota Football Vikings will be picking number 1 in this year's NFL Draft I don't get the apocalyptic feels that 0-2 means the season is over. There are still 15 loving games! And they haven't played like trash - turning the ball over 3.5 times on average per game is a huge weight and it isn't going to last. Somehow the 0-2 Bears are ranked 6th of 9th of 0-2 teams most likely to make the playoffs. Minnesota at 5th feels a little low. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...ts/70898168007/

Yeah I dont get all the doom and gloom here. Lions seem like they need a new D coordinator, otherwise they seem fine. Vikings are competitive with one of the best teams in the league and need to clean up turnovers - pretty solvable problem. Bears are in a rough spot with just about everything though, no way to sugarcoat it. At least the new coaching staff and possibly GM will have a lot of draft capital. Packers can eat poo poo.

Looking at their schedule, I think the Vikings have a very real chance of leaving October at something like 2-5, I think some big worry for them is pretty darn warranted. Their schedule gets a little softer in the middle, but then it's Bengals (who will presumably have it figured out by then), Lions, Packers, Lions. The Lions, I was just hoping this wouldn't be another year of, well, the pass rush can't get home and the secondary can't stop anything, so the offense has to play perfect, hope there's no significant injuries, turnovers or poor/missed calls or it's probably gonna be a disaster. I don't wanna overreact to the Seattle game because Pete Carroll just seems to own our souls, but. Saw a lot of familiar stuff in that game.
