Sataere posted:Based on the Poles interview today, I think we will be signing or trading for someone in the next couple weeks. That would be great. Right now the bears feel a little bit like the pre - Khalil Mack year where there was hope for the offense, presumably solid defense, but no way to pressure the QB.

I finally got around to making this. Every season since Detroit took 1st. All teams bumped up 1 if TB finished ahead of them, and TB never finished first so whatever Bears had highest standard deviation, no surprise

The old adage was 1/2 last year's wins +4. (everyone goes towards 8-8). The extra game screws that up, so add a half win and round up I guess Vikings from 13 to 11 Lions from 9 to 9 Packers from 8 to 9 Bears from 3 to 6. Seems about right. Vikes and lions probably tie at 10 wins atop the division

GNU Order posted:wtf what's with all the shots at Peoria? Look, I'm from a completely dead village near Rockford. I wish every town in the rust belt well and hope they prosper, especially the ones that have taken huge blows like Iron Mountain, Peoria, Beloit etc where the major employers leave. I think it's legit great that people are moving to Peoria. But that doesn't mean you can't make fun of it. Think of all these towns as the equivalent of the Detroit Lions - you wish them the very best but know deep in your heart that they're never going to get anywhere. And that's ok. Frankly, I just really like the big bridge in GB. It isn't scary like the Mackinac one trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 16:40 on May 23, 2023 |

I think George McCaskey does believe he deserves money from the cities/counties/state for providing such an excellent product, and that he finds it abhorrent to think he'd make slightly less money if he had to pay a few percent interest in loan interest over paying for something out of pocket like Jerry Jones Sell the team. Hell, sell minority limited partnership roles and fund everything with that Steinbrenner style. Edit after looking up how Steinbrenner afforded the Yankees, turns out he leveraged capital calls against the other limited partners to dilute their equity when they wouldn't pony up. Lol at the idea of the McCaskeys having that happen to them since their cash flow sucks trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Jun 3, 2023 |

I hate the McCaskeys so much, because I think the Bears were the singular most valuable sports franchise in the USA over the last 3-4 decades. The NFL took over the sports landscape, they had no competing team locally, and did absolutely zilch with it. Just incredible myopia the entire time. And it wasn't like they were making the team popular through their own management. The only noteworthy thing they did in that era is announce a coaching hire before it was agreed to

Looking at that bracket; I don't even remember Lamarr Houston existing. And I sadly used to defend Webb since he at least got playing time for a 7th rounder, which is impressive (in how bad all their other options were). Omiyale just stunk. That '10 Bears-Giants game will always hold a special place in my heart. Was driving back from up north with a couple of friends, listening on the radio to Cutler just getting demolished over and over again.
