I am comforted in the fact that I know Chicago is going to blow these two picks somehow. 

not even Chicago can mess this up. Those first 2 picks are gold. They can absolutely do a 180 with those picks. Caleb first. Trade out of #2 far just far enough to still get Harrison. And still have extra day 2 picks to play with - enough to move back into the first again.

meh.  Just draft Caleb and Harrison Jr.  The trading out of it is where Chicago would end up screwing it all up.

I'm still a fan, this sucking would sting less if we had all of our draft assets though. If they dont win a couple games after the bye week I'll be ready to blow up the front office starting with Fitterer since he built this team.

Honestly, I was a solid Fitt supporter, but he has not only supported some questionable personnel decisions over his tenure, he supported the hiring of Reich which was about the most lackluster hire imaginable. I'm ready to fire both right now.

I can tolerate being beaten - that's the nature of life, giving it your all and still coming up short sometimes. What has drained me the most is the string of very obvious and easily-avoidable missteps that Tepper has made since taking ownership. Hanging on to Rivera and Hurney in 2018 into 2019, hiring Rhule and giving him complete control, interjecting himself into the QB situation at the end of 2020, keeping Rhule into 2022, hiring Reich (a good guy but a lame hire)... and that's not touching on the personnel items during that time, which aren't necessarily Tepper's fault directly but are the result of these missteps.

Like I tell my kids, I just can't support braindead behavior.

Oh yes they can. Any QB drafted by the Bears is just doomed. History demands it.

The fact that were still here on this message board despite this likely being the franchises 6th losing season in a row automatically means we're still fans

We lost a lot of those 2015 bandwagoners a long time ago. 

If you truly were not a fan or didn't care, you wouldn't watch the games or spend time arguing about them here

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
