We are in lockstep on this matter. First two picks should be C and WR, in no certain order. Until Fields is rolling, give him every weapon possible. It all starts up front.

This!

I'm almost certain it's true. The reporter is one of the most respected in Chicago and has a Pulitzer under his belt. Waddle, Silvey, Jurko and Defalco on ESPN 1000 all believe it and vouch for the guy. I don't think he needed a rumor piece like other guys might.

Here's what pisses me off. The brass got caught with their pants down with the leak to the reporter. Then, they let the rumor run rampant by not squashing it immediately. Then, they make a statement to the team saying the rumor is inaccurate, thus muddying the water even more. This all just so they can save face by firing Nagy on their terms. Our ownership is clearly hurting their own team by delaying the inevitable. If they simply would have admitted their mistake, they would be more respected by the fan base and the team would be better off with more time to prepare for a new coach. We are simply the commoners that they think they are fooling...?

Yeah, Jones went to as solid of a place that there is. Established coaching staff, great OL, great defense and a very nice selection of skill players. Pats were ravaged last year with covid19 opt outs and first year without Brady. Sucks, but our OL got worse, as well as our receiving corps. Not to mention defense banged up along with a terrible secondary. 2022 is going to be up and down. 2023 will have to be his year...

The eye test is very tricky when you are wishing with all of your being that a player succeeds. That is where we are with every new QB we get. We take the wow plays and see that as glimpse into a successful future. It's kinda like golf. You hit a good shot, now that becomes the goal and expectation. What I see from Justin is mixed. He shows promise with the deep ball and improvisational plays. He is very weak on processing the speed of the game, as he often is late to deliver.(this was Mitch's major flaw as well) He is also weak on moving around in the pocket.(Mitch also) He also hasn't shown the ability to throw players open.(Mitch again) I've never read a critique on his release, but it could be a lot quicker. His delivery is long and smooth which helps with the deep ball accuracy. I'm very hopeful that Justin will grow and succeed, as I did Mitch. Both have above average arm strength and highly mobile. One is accurate short, while the other long. I think Justin is a little more than Mitch, so my expectation is a little more.

? ? ? ?

You are right, this is an odd situation. The vibe I'm getting from the whole deal is that the family just got embarrassed by another grand screwup that they can't keep info in house. Now, they scramble to save face by denial. I wouldn't be surprised if it buys Nagy another week or two just so they can say we told you so. This is all just dysfunctional...

I've been hearing a lot about them giving Pace a promotion and him hiring the next GM. We may have to accept the fact that the family loves him and have some hope that he and the new GM are addition by subtraction with Teddy out of the football side. One more layer between the family and the field is definitely a positive.

This is murky. Nagy also stated that they have not spoken since they're last scheduled meeting, which was over a week ago. Pace's silence is deafening...

For those that think the glass is half full. We need 2 WR, OC, ILB, DE, CB and 2 S. That's 8 poditions that need upgraded badly. Doing the math, we have 28 players under contract for next year and some of those should be cut. So that's a minimum of 33 players needed to make a better roster. And as of now, Ryan Pace is still the GM. With our limited amount draft picks and cap space, how do we get better next year? Let er rip, because I can't wrap my head around it.

Or asking Bruce Arians to do a mock press conference...

He'll be a hero when we're done with him...

A great reason to fire Nagy, in season, is that we can interview whoever we want during week 17 and 18. It would be advisable to take advantage of the extra time for coaches on playoff teams. It's rumored that Nagy lost part of the locker room last year and as of now he has fully lost it.

IMO, this was a wasted year and it didn't have to be. I wanted to go into this season with Mitch on a one year deal while we built infrastructure for the heir apparent. But no, we sign Dalton, keep Graham and fail to secure the OL for yet another season. Then we get blessed by Fields dropping to us. Once that narrative changed, the staff couldn't put a growth plan in place. Yet we keep Graham again and fail to address the OL again. Now we have 4 TE's that we barely use, an OL that can only run block, small receivers that can't block and 3 running backs that are collectively good. And we don't run the ball! We elect to get our franchise QB murdered every week in attempt to save Nagy. With all that said, I'm going back to square one. For next year, I want two OL upgrades, find a number one reciever to develop and ween us from this dead ass defense that holds on by a thread every week. We must run the ball to help Justin Fields and I mean 40x a game. Next year would be ugly, but it would be identity setting ugly while the guts of the team are built from the inside out. No more trading picks away and moving contracts to the future. That's save the GM tactic that should ONLY be used to win a Superbowl. Nagy ruined that window by failing to install offense. Pace destroyed next year by screwing up the last 4 years. How much money has gone out to Dalton, Foles and the giraffe neck guy? I disagree with anyone that says we are close. 2023 will be our upswing if we are fortunate.

Freaking Pace kills me...

I'm all in for it! Can you imagine the stadium Bezos would build?

Good grief

Oh great spirits of Papa Bear and Sweeteness, please talk to the big guy up there! https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/chicago-bears-rumors/wild-rumor-reignites-idea-chicago-bears-may-soon-have-new-owner/

If our defensive starters are back, I think we win. We match up very well with what they do.

As a former OT and back sufferer, working on both sides will help his rehab. Balances out the hip rotation.

I think they are best suited at guard. Whoever our next center is, they need to live with Justin Fields so they learn to finish each other's sentences.

I think that's a great idea. We bring Bars in on mauling packages and that's what Jenkins does best.

I record all of the games. It's my only resource. Mustipher tends to get bull rushed at a higher than normal rate. He doesn't get blamed for the sack, but definitely is a major cause of a collapsed pocket.

Totally agree. The NFL's greed and stubbornness is hurting the brand. While on topic, they really need to expand what a coach throw the challenge flag for. IE: three of the egregious calls that cost us the game are easy to review. While I'm on a rant, no game should ever end in a tie. If NCAA can get it right, so can NFL.
