My brain is in a weird spot. I just want the god drat draft to get here so I know what the Bears are doing trade wise. But I know nothing about college, so everyone they draft will be a mystery box to me.

I'm extremely impatient to learn nothing.

lol, that's exactly where I was with Jalen Carter (after a trade down to 4) up until a week ago.

I'm also predicting that Rodgers has a Favre-like trajectory with New York: he looks great for half of the season, picks up a bad injury, and then flops in the divisional round of the playoffs. He retires after two seasons with the Jets.

Close. He will sign with the Vikings, but then retire after getting injured in a car accident with Corey Wootton.

Some of the stuff coming out on Jalen Carter hasn't been good. Sounds like he could fall pretty far and I'm not even sure the Bears should bother at #9 unless they're certain.

What else has dropped beyond the previously known charges?

It was a great trade and I get to be super excited about DJ Moore NOW rather than worried about the mystery box picks.

I think this is a win for the Packers. But I also think Rodgers' 40 year old body is gonna dive off a cliff this year.

It's always going to be a multi-year rebuild. Always has been.

I expect the Bears to top out in 2023 at maaaaybe 5 or 6 wins.

They will absolutely be better than that. I'm expecting around .500.

Lions win even with the refs letting that tackle do whatever the gently caress he wanted all game.

The refs waiting until 4th and 20 at the dead rear end end of the game to finally call anything on him was a great punchline though.

How many seconds, on average, did Fields have to throw? Watching it live, I felt like he had plenty of time to throw but that he was actually just not very good at throwing it. Because he's bad.

What? Were we watching the same game?

This was a nice breakdown, thanks for sharing. Everything looked so bad on Sunday that I think I was too kind to Fields. He really had a rough one out there. Everything about this offense needs to be more aggressive.

Edit: Claypool should absolutely be inactive for a least this week.

Sunday gave the distinct impression the Bears weren't very well coached, and everything I've heard and seen since has only reinforced that.

The bigger question will be on Poles. If this looks directionless, might be best to write him off as a lemon and let the new President find his own guy.

I would prefer the new president have an edict that requires he keep Poles around for at least one more coaching hire, and the new coach should be required to hang onto Fields for at least one year.

If this is just personal stuff, the Bears PR staff needs to be fired for letting this rampant speculation get out of hand.

If it's genuinely just health and family poo poo, then the caginess of the Bears about this situation is genuinely despicable. Cuz the way the org has acted is the primary driver of me thinking there must be something else going on here.

That's how they operate. They call everything "personal reasons". Obviously, you can't invade someone's privacy, but they treat a death in the family to the media the same as kicking a player out of practice for insubordination. At some point, people are going to speculate.

It is entirely possible I am far too online.

I wouldn’t have guessed that the Bears are historically worse than the Lions

Over the last tenish years it makes sense. Leaves the Lovie years out while capturing the John Fox, Marc Trestman, and Matt Eberflus years. Bad times.
Edit: There is exactly 1 winning season in that time frame.

I don't know, I can't look at that game and think Fields is the problem there.

When it mattered he had a fumble 6 and a game sealing pick. Even when he plays well he finds a way to be bad.
