Non tendering Tauchmann makes sense. Superfluous with Tucker.

When Kyler Gordon gets back, I wonder if they move him to the outside and leave CJGJ at nickel.

I know one score games are flukey, but when you are really bad at them it's not. Want to give some flowers to Johnson, who has gotten us to end of games and halfs with full timeouts and aware of time optimization. Even the Vikings game, they knew the right thing to do, almost did it perfect, yet our peg legged kicker couldn't execute.

feels like a lot of teams are like the bears right now. Our offense is improving, our defense is going to be struggling until Kyler/Edwards get back. Offensively it is nice to still feel like we can get more from Colston/Luther, but defensively it is pretty disappointing that the players we paid this offseason are all injured and seem constantly injured. Feels like Kyler tops out at 6 games a year, so frustrating.

He was my "guy i'd sign if Ishbia gave us a bunch of money".

twitter feed is just 35 tweets straight of dabolls head.

No idea if it will work out, but not a big fan of the names. what is it boveee? BOfa? that'll be fun.

I agree, surprised how big of an impact he's having defensively now. I am struggling to watch games and catching some erh intermittent feeds, but was happy to see the second half last night. What a crazy game to not lead until 3 seconds left.

I love robert.

I agree about the 'bad win' thing. The Bengals had so many moments that just went their way, from the kick, to the graze of a thumb on edmunds on the pick six that instead had us backed up inside the ten, to the extremely close call on whether flacco fumbled which was another near TD. The bears had a 2 TD lead with minutes left, and in most days a 7 point win on the road is good, but even better imo when you basically gave them a 7 point lead to start the game.

Ok I do need to also give flowers for Wright, he seems to be trending to elite. I love watching his run blocking every week. He absolutely plows players, it is so rad. We love our offensive lineman in chicago, my apologies to Darnell.

I will say it was 4th and 8. He's had two interceptions like this where he kinda throws up an interception prayer and it kinda makes sense to do given the context.

couple thoughts: - Still very bullish on Johnson as HC, he managed the timeouts and clocks perfectly end of game. We always have 3 timeouts end of half and use them well. - Poles has to go. I think hightower should be on the way out as his kickoff coverage has been terrible all year, and now the onside kick fiasco. And the penalties. But Poles basically drafts for special teams in the fourth round and later, including a punter, and it is still this bad of a unit. And now blackwell is out. Then add to that, this absolutely trash d line which has many 2nd round/3rd round draft picks, many many millions of dollars. And it is awful. The secondary is obviously beaten up, but just crazy how terrible this defensive line is. And that is inexcusable to me year 4 after a tear down job. What's worse is guys that come in, look terrible, then go elsewhere and look great (al-quadin muhammed is doing great in seattle). Something just terrible with his player evals. Of course, he did have a day with Monongai and Colston showing up. But I'm just so so frustrated that this team is missing elite guys with so many draft picks and money and trades made. I have zero confidence that if he makes a trade for a guy today/tomorrow, that he will get a guy with impact, let alone win. It will probably be an underperforming 25/26 year old with great athletic profile and zero production.

I proposed trading cease for Betts before 2020 and re-signing him (which wouldn't have happened with Jerry, but I was right he was open to signing a deal before free agency). We'd have won world series in 2020 and 2021, and possibly won every world series since.

an unbelievably irrelevant draft class that featured a top ten pick and 3 second rounders.

I think 5 years ago people may have had that attitude but now that sam darnold and baker mayfield and daniel jones are playing like top 5 QBs I think people need to chill on that assumption a bit. That said, I'm not happy with how Caleb is playing, and especially how he can't seem to get the cadence right and get all of these penalties called.

I thought the OPI call on Loveland was bad last week. This was worse.

I'm not the biggest sports announcer complainer, but it really was up there with Chris Berman eulogizing the Red Sox for 3 innings in 2005. It was so over the top funny, mainly underscored by the blaming caleb for the bad snap, that it stood out. Is this "being driven so hard", I don't know, I think our sense of these things is manipulated now by there being a 'outlets' that can find short bursts on feeds that regurgitate stuff written days before.

man he looked so slow in preseason and he had every chance to take that job. I'd be very concerned he's just a dud.

Not saying this is Katz but just along the lines…

I am optimistic on Turner after seeing him move to edge Monday, and am still a believer in Burden. Sunday will be interesting...will the saints pull the bears into the drudge or can the bears put their foot on their neck? I feel like Caleb has been a much better Home qb, and our run game looked so much better with Benedet/Wright. Sure would like Grady Jarrett to play. great signing 👎

jesus that has our revenue as the 2nd lowest in league while still being treated as a big market team. JR is so, so bad at this.

Yeah I probably should have raised it, kinda eye balled it going off of ages available but mainly just didn’t want to throw in Tucker.

One thing I will give to Poles is Darnell Wright is a hit. We are so much better running to his side, and it was obviously a struggle without him the week before.

he sucks at trading mid season too.
