So having looked around to see if there was any hint available regarding the rumors surrounding former Bears DC Alan Williams, I can't say I've found much of anything outside pure speculation.

The belief from those who have speculated is that it's related to one of two things: gambling or pedophilia.

But the bottom line is nobody seems to know sh-t.

I read on a Bears forum that it was scheme related. Meaning he was in some trouble with gambling and was calling BS plays to help with fixing the game.

If it's something scandalous I'd rather this than some of the alternatives floating around with regards to pedophilia... but this would absolutely shake the league.

I'd agree.

Just reading the tone of the conversation around it I actually do at this point think that something gambling related is more likely.

Williams' lawyer (who I'll grant is his lawyer) has vehemently stated that there's no criminal activity involved. If that's true, then you have to figure gambling.

Interesting stat:

Offensive philosophies prioritize short, precise passes, and the average air yards per attempt has been on the decline for the past four seasons. Defenses have adapted by focusing on the pass rush and coverage, pressuring quarterbacks to release the ball even earlier, thereby encouraging even shorter passes and the highest overall pressure rate since 2017. Meanwhile, personnel groupings featuring multiple wide receivers and a single running back have become more prevalent, again encouraging quicker passes to exploit favorable matchups in open space. The net result: If current numbers hold, NFL teams would average the fewest passing yards per game since 2008.

Fun fact:

There was never a time in Sean Payton’s career where he had lost a game being up 18 points. Payton’s streak of 72 wins after accumulating an 18-point lead was vanquished last weekend against the Washington Commanders.

Then for the sake of this forum not turning into TMZ ... can you please stop posting every tweet you see, Mr. Scot? Guys like you are part of the reason stories get out of control. Just relax, and wait for offical statements. It's funny too bc you're old. But you're out here spamming tweets like a teen. Twitter is NOT journalism. Even guys with the blue checkmark are mostly spitting opinion.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
