Most of that is Ngakoue who got hurt, even if you include Sweat's extension(which kicks in next year) it's nowhere near 100 million.

Okay, but surely the fact that he thought it was well over 100 million says a lot nonetheless.

The Bears didn't force a single punt lmao.

Their only stops was a fumble, their Coach being stupid and running another play not to the endzone at the end of the half, and the end of the game where they would have scored if they didn't just run out the clock.

To be fair the Vikings also had a highly rated defense and they also could not stop Love.

At this point when the offense is clicking the only thing that can stop them is themselves

I feel like the best way to know whether your team is making a dumb decision or not is to see what your rival fanbase is hoping you'll do. As a Packers fan, I am absolutely pulling for the Bears to keep Eberflus and sign Fields to the Daniel Jones extension.

The Vikings defense was not highly rated. Teams could loving put numbers on the board against them. If you can read blitzes you can torch their backend.

Not the Bears of course. But most other teams with decent QB's and offensive schemes have found success against the Vikings.

I'm sorry, the Packers are not so loving good where not forcing a single punt or turnover on downs is acceptable lmao.

He's already clearly head and shoulders above the Baker/Geno/Russell/Carr journeyman tier, he just needs more production to be clearly in that first group.

Geno had a *really* similar season last year. He’s been worse this year but he also played injured and the Seattle line regressed a good bit. Baker has also had a pretty similar season to Love. I don’t think he’s head and shoulders above those guys but if he can put together a few seasons of consistent production at this level he certainly will be.

The refs jobbed them out of 4, LaFluer hosed them out of 3, and their rookie kicker also cost them 3. The game was never particularly close and it was obvious the Packers were getting anything they wanted.

They just gave Sweat $100 million. Walker, Jones, Ngakuoe, two 2nd round picks, and a 3rd round pick. That's a lot of resources to still have a bad line. And it's not like he was strapped for cash, they had like $100 million in cap space.

Heck, I think the guy Poles traded away (Mack) had almost as many sacks as every player Poles brought in this year.

Having nice PFF ratings is cool but doesn't really mean poo poo in the end.

See, for us, getting jobbed is stuff like your QB never getting calls for late hits or the ref literally backing into your player so he can throw a flag on him, or the refs just failing to see the numbers on a players jersey.

For Packers fans, it's an incomplete pass being called incomplete on the field, then changed to a TD so it can be reviewed without the Packers having to use a challenge, then review correctly determining it's an incomplete pass.

And for the praise Poles get in the draft, don't forget he passed on CJ Stroud who looks like a franchise QB and Jalen Carter who was the best defensive player in the draft. The Carter one is even worse when you factor how pedestrian Wright has looked at the end of the season.

Counting the entire contract for one season is a bit silly lol. But sure.

Rookie DT's historically struggle early. Even the great Jalen Carter hit a loving wall and been suspect this season after tape got out on him.

Sweat has been good, Ngakuoe got hurt like right after he moved to a role he was more suited at as rather than Only Pass Rusher, but second pass rusher, but also Ngakuoe was only a one year flier.

Walker has been a decent rotational piece, and probably flashed more than any other end than Sweat.

Have you looked at what Jalen Carter has done since like the first 4 or 5 games too?

Because like I'd have to check, but Will Anderson has caught up with him as far as production.

And Gervon Dexter is also not thaaat far behind him.

Like Carter has not been head and shoulders above the rest of the defensive draft picks.

Have you seen Darnell Wright the past few games? There is not a team in the league who would take Wright over Carter.

In defense of Wright though, he got so much worse when Nate Davis came back. Still think they should have kept Teven at RG because him and Wright worked so well together.

There would be plenty of teams who would, you know the number of teams that needed a DT but passed on Carter last year.

Especially considering that Carter is supposedly having issues in the Eagles Lockerroom for mistakes and effort.

He's had sub 50% snap counts for the past 4 weeks, on a team that desperately needs pass rush?
