Dennis Allen is making $5M. Not certain the stadium is generating the revenue to pay for a minimum of $2B in Debt servicing. There needs to be other businesses to shift funds around and I am not certain they have this. I would think the Wirtz family is a little more cash rich being the liquor magnates that they are. No Restaurant or liquor store in our area gets their liquor from anyone but the Wirtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Restaurant or liquor store in our area gets their liquor from anyone but the Wirtz I would put them and Ricketts in the same category as owners that have the ability to spend with the top markets in the sport. If Ricketts cannot he should not have bought. Reinsdorf at this point should have figured out how to leverage the team but he doesn't care. It is a passive interest that breaks even. Nothing more nothing less, until he is dead we are stuck in this abyss of suck...maybe 2029 will be something but I won't hold my breath. My guess, and I could be fully incorrect is that Bears need the NFL cashflow to manage their operation and personal livelihood. An exception to the current NFL model and certainly one where they cannot afford to find $2M in debt servicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurtCG Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Bears gotta double team Puka on every snap right? Carolina did't do that and they got burned. Davante Adams is a shell of his former self. He is still dangerous in the red zone though. Bears got a chance to win this game if they shut down Puka and contain the Rams running game.

Sox guy Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 at least we're not getting Golden Globes promos during this game, unlike the last cbs game. That was so cringe, they shouldn't have forced Nants to do that, pretty insulting. If they're gonna wear Orange Crush jerseys, then why not go back to the OC helmets. Better combo. Didn't know invesco field is called MHS now, just like the predecessor. Hopefully bears don't wear color rush again tomorrow, or worse, the orange tops. Yuck. Just wear what ya did last time you faced rams in playoffs, the standards. In between rams playoff games, rams left town, won a sb, lost a sb, returned, lost a sb, then won one. So, what's everyone's SB20 memories. Or 41. I only watched a few minutes of the SB20 halftime show while I ate pizza at Showbiz Pizza Place, didn't bother to watch the game since I was too busy with skeeball, wack a mole, and the singing gorillas. Saw 41 at a friend's place, but wasn't bothered by the outcome, that Colts team was likeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox guy Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 We have to censor swear words here, eh So, how stupid were the Bills to defer 1st possession of OT, JFC, they gave Denver an extra possession, which led to their victory. So idiotic. IMO, they should go back to sudden death OT, with 1st possession going to the team who drew less penalty yards. Gives an extra incentive to not foul. But, by god, giving your opponent a full extra OT possession is so braindead, bills deserved to lose on that alone. Thinking you're slick by subverting expectations, usually doesn't work out. I was there when the Lions gave us 1st OT possession in sudden death, which we used for the win. "newthink" will backfire often. If you win OT coin toss, take that 1st possession, never defer, Never give your opponent an extra chance. It's that simple. and now, the 9ers are showing that they're worse than bills, which made the reseeding pointless. Let the top seed choose his opponent, 5 seed is sometimes worse than 6.

SoCalChiSox Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Broncos win....woo hoo! Great game....its pretty much all gravy from here. Really need Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin and Alex Forsyth back next week and hopefully we can activate JK Dobbins and Wattenberg. Bryant looked great before he had another concussion.

Actually you always want to defer in OT because each side is guaranteed a possession so it's better if you know what you need to do after watching the first drive.

That's not a winning strategy if it goes to a 3rd possession. I knew the reason why they deferred, but that's just too risky. The 9ers didn't defer in their last super bowl, and were criticised for it, but they actually made a good decision since it could have backfired like it did Buffalo tonight.

The odds of both teams not doing anything in each possession in a 30-30 game are very low. You always defer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
