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.

Count me in on Godwin. He can be our low end #1. Adams would be amazing, but he's going to break the bank and we can't keep killing our cap over guys like him.

I'm skeptical of Gallup. He's been there longer than Lamb and Cooper and Dak seems to trust them a lot more.

That game was stolen. Officials have become partial to their favorites. Cutler was on Waddle and Silvey Friday afternoon and they asked him about the refs. He went on to talk about different crews and knowing when they were going to either get a fair game or get screwed. He also talked about individual refs that like to have their ass kissed and some that were vindictive if you criticized them during the game.

I pray your wife is ok and hope to hear your perspective on a regular basis...?

Lol, I was thinking about how our D matches up against what Lamar does. I'm putting money on this game if Mack is back...

Peculiar. How could you be so knowledgeable about the team without watching any games? Seriously, you have a top five opinion in my book...

Same guy. Got a game ball from Fangio Sunday. You must admit he was our best DB last year.

2022 is going to be a major transitional year for the team. We will part ways with close to half of the team. Something else to make the off season interesting is that we'll have to, once again, rely on free agency to field a team. Of course, let's start with the offense. Mooney is the only receiver on the 53 man roster under contract for next year. My thoughts are to draft this position as high as possible. This player must be a true number 1. I'm also good with a solid possession receiver via FA. Running back is stacked, so no need to address. For TE, we have Kmet and Horsted. I would like to re sign James. At OL, we should beg Peters to play one more year. It's crazy that he has clearly been our best OL at an, out of shape, 39 years old. He can play 4 positions. Plus, he's a coach on the field. Next we pray the rookie tackles to meet expectations. Next draft pick goes to IOL, preferably center. Whitehair and Mustipher have disappointed this year. Next draft pick goes to WR. We are weak at this group and Fields needs depth of weapons here. On to defense. This unit is in trouble with being old and overpaid. For the second year in a row, Leonard Floyd would lead us in sacks, at half the price of Quinn. Thanks Pace and Pagano for blowing that wad. I digress. We only have 2 picks left, so we are going to have to make this group "the replacements". Needs are DT, DE, OLB, CB and S. Use our remaining picks on BPA. We're going to sign a lot of UDFA's, and low end FA. We can no longer spend the bulk of our cap on this unit. If we can trade Mack, Jackson and Quinn in the off season for picks that would be great. We also say goodbye to Hicks and Trevathon. Hopefully we can get Ogletree back at a decent price. We're going to give up a lot of points next.

Unfortunately Olave is slated to go top 20.

More info had come out and the salary situation changed from 1 mil to 7.5 mil, plus final two years of his contract voided. I honestly don't see why they kissed his ass on this. Also seeing where a lot of the time in his dad's video where Odell was open, he was running improvised routes. I'm out.

I forgot to mention this from a strategic standpoint. We could claim him, pay him the million and trade him in the off season for a pick. And if we are unsuccessful in trade and don't like him, he can be released for zero cap hit.

Let's play devils advocate for a minute, as we've had this argument before regarding T.O. and Brandon Marshall. How could OBJ be different? One thing is, he's still elite. With us having a huge need at WR and being cap tight, we could now get OBJ for 1 mil this year and 13mil the following two. We are getting ready to lose Arob, who can't shake free anyway. OBJ comes out of deep breaks like Tyreek Hill and still has game breaking speed. If he comes in and knows he'll be working with an up and coming Fields, his attitude may become as a mentor. Also, Fields would absolutely have someone he can chuck it to at any time. With Fields deep accuracy and Beckham's ability to high point a ball, this combo could be ridiculous. Let's hear the other side...

Do you think he was praying for a cluster f@&k while he was gone? ?????

Probably Pace standing on his roster, kinda like Daniel Boone or Custer... Gotta save your job somehow, when no-one else will hire your sorry ass...
