Quero packages with Robert makes sense for all the wrong reasons. The Sox won't eat money and will get a meh return because of it but better than just Robert as a pure salary dump.

I'm speaking to how the right coach can flip the script. I believe he has done that in New England. 3 of top 5 coach of the year candidates are new hires.

Teams are seeing what Vrabel, Coen, Johnson, Seahawks guy, etc. can do and they are looking to jump on the exploratory ship.

I pointed out yesterday that every asset that they have this offseason needs to be earmarked to defense. I am not certain there are any holes on offense that need attention but I am not up on contract status either. The health of the interior line and QB was huge. Hopefully both of those items are sustainable moving forward. I like that there is a structure in place to build. The offense (Johnson) and defense (Allen) are sustainable pieces so moving forward it's all about the talent and cap management. I do not think Allen gets another job and I hope he and Ben can work together long term. I have zero expectations for Sunday based on the fact we will have played the Packers 3 times after Thanksgiving and I think their offense can carve up our defense. I am hopeful because the game is at home and the offense if it clicks may work out. The future is bright and regardless of Saturday, this season was a major success in formulating a successful NFL franchise.

Ok

The defense is one of the worst in football and should be addressed. That was my point. I am not panicking over how bad they are, it is reality.

I think they have been to six straight championships. The River Falls coach post game was awesome. Completely different game of football. It is odd how FCS (Dakotas, Montana, ISU?) DII (Ferris St) and DIII (North Central, Wisconsin state schools, Mt Union) are all controlled by the middle/ north area of the country.

Any player on the defense that is making any kind of money that does not kill the cap should be released. Why Stevenson is not playing is beyond me. I know he was injured/sick/bad/poor attitude but did not see him on an injury report. I am hoping Johnson is still injured because if he is healthy he needs to be cut. He and Sweat were awful extensions that were paid because of one good year. The defense has gotten worse when the starting linebackers came back and the Bears went to a lovie defense of bend but don't break. I am not certain a team has punted in the last three games. Love will pass for 400 yards Saturday against this defense. Every asset/signing this offseason needs to be on defense. A couple of weeks ago I had mentioned trading Rome and the #1 to move high in the draft but DJ Moore seems to disappear during games and its odd. I like him and he seems to be a gamer but moving on from him seems best, his contract may make that difficult. If we can trust Luther long term, he is a dude. Best WR on the team.

Signing Imai screams Robert salary dump coming.

I think the FA thing can be negotiated and that was what they did with Murakami. Not sure how that impacts the posting fee.

This may sound idiotic but I'd package the #1 and Rome to move up in the draft for a top DL I think they will move Moore but will only get a late round pick for him Burden seems to be legit WR1 and Loveland TE1 you can sprinkle around him and Moore with the TE & RB room

I thought last week was bad

Jaylon Johnson is awful right now. If hes not healthy I guess its a team call. Only guy hes hit is his own guy. This defense is awful right now.

Agree100% seemed buffalo was throughly in control

Wasnt 2018 at home?

I've been laid up for a bit and meant to start this. I will do so soon. Pluribus is just a different type of show. I am not certain how to explain it but it is worth the watch.

Didnt he also miss a few games recently. Go Steelers

Caleb can get better at some things but go back and understand this is year one for this whole staff so things are going just fine. MERCY! Now to go learn about the White Sox FA

I think he was injured on that illegal hit in Q1 that was nasty. Guy is a gamer. Burden is showing he can't stay on the field and Rome I am not fully sold on.

The stadium thing is really easy. The owners of the Bears do not have the wealth to build the stadium alone. They need assistance or leverage the team. They could save 30% if not more building in Indiana and probably at least 15% building outside of Cook County. If the state is not going to help offset the cost of building in Illinois and Cook v Indiana they will not be playing in Illinois. Indiana having two great domed stadiums while Illinois has no legitimate stadium in the entire state. Illinois pisses away billions on nonsense. This is a no brainer for Illinois and I do not care if Economists say it is not worth it. A good amount of government expenditures are nonsense. I'm Ron Swanson and I approve of this message

Ozark to me was like Lost in that the premise was great but the end game didn't match the build up. Pluribus is an awesome show. I love how it has gone thus far and Gilligan seems to have the story completed before it starts to avoid a bad ending in previous shows.

Anyone see the chip block on Garrett that wiped him out. Was either Kmet or Loveland. Earlier in the year Trapillo was a healthy scratch now he is the starting LT and managing well. I am sure he can be micromanaged to prove me wrong but this staff has coaches that can do their job in places needed. RB, DB, OL those guys are professionals that are getting the best out of their team. Johnson has built a staff that is getting the job done and hopefully sustainable. Johnson and Allen if they can stay on the same page can be an amazing duo. After two weeks the 2025 draft was a disaster now I am not certain Loveland and Burden are not the 2 best receivers on the team, Trapillo is the LT for the foreseeable future and KM one of the top rookie RB in the league. The health of that interior line should not be overlooked as to why we are continually getting better.

Yes 1&2 is better than 10&1 but I think getting the 1 in 26 looks much more beneficial than the 1 in 25 and 2 in 26. Similar to the Bears getting getting the #1 with a better QB class than the prior year. I am not certain how it will play out but the lottery didn't hurt them as much as I thought. I was unaware about the pool money benefit being a huge difference so that could debunk my our thought process further if I dug deeper.

I think Vargas hangs around and is a GG 3B (not sure why I think that but I do) and Colson's health is the reason I push him to 1B

Couple of things. In the end the lottery rules seemed to have favored the White Sox. They got #1 because they were #10 last year and Colorado was bumped. The year they would have had #1 (2025) was an average class and they look to have ended up with a decent enough guy that it did not matter that they moved to 10. C. Montgomery will be at 1B when Roch comes up. As for development Roch sliding in for 2027 (maybe) while Carlson's timeline is 2029 which by then the Meidroth's, Antonacci's and Bonemer will have been figured out. There is a path to not being embarrassing which is something. The brightest thing to me is the timing, if these guys pop will be about the time JR kind of leaves the building and maybe they don't need to be flipped.
