They must hand out maps to Panther players that only have Chicago as a destination.

Here is an article from Lance Briggs that says with the Harris signing as well as the Peppers signing they will contend for a championship. It would suck for us if they essentially take some of our key veteran players and go deep in the playoffs especially if we go nowhere this year. Maybe after playing here McCown knows something about the potential for Chicago to excel this year and wants to be part of it.

Let me find a link where EVERY CHICAGO BEARS FAN/ANALYST/PLAYER/REPORTER said the exact same thing when they traded for Cutler.

see what I did there? ;)

Then again, maybe McCown is just desperate for a job.

Problem last year in addition to all the Ints was a poor offensive line and porous defense. The offensive line is still suspect but like Moore last year, if the defense plays well, you don't have to score 30 points to win. Martz will fix the offense and now with the defensive restored they will likely win the NFC North this year. Especially if Favre doesn't come back.

Fox is going to be Lovie's replacement

Wouldn't blame him a bit for wanting to go there. At least Chicago seems willing to spend the money to build a playoff team. Fox likes veterans and that team is full of them. Given we beat them routinely I suspect that they could do a lot worse than hire Fox.

Ever think the bad defense can be linked back to Cutlers turnovers? It's hard to play good defense when you're on the field twice as long as you should be.

Their offensive line isn't "suspect." It's terrible, and will be the reason their offense struggles. Cutler/Forte/etc will not be able to be successful with that offensive line. I think their defense will be outstanding, possibly top 5, but that wouldn't be enough.

and... No they will not likely win the NFC North. Even if Favre is back, the Packers will more than likely take the division. Bears will be #3 in the division.

Bet Pep has it written into his contact.....No Fox.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
