The Bears literally went from the #1 seed in the NFC entering this week to the 7 seed with this loss. 

All the Saints had to do was lose to be in the top draft slot. I think they are 5th now. And Tennessee wins to knock themselves out.

I would feel bad for KC's OL injury luck if we literally hadn't had more of it.

Almost to the point of needing to carry a dozen linemen anymore. Way too many injuries for most teams every year. I'd like to see the roster expanded a few spots to help, or even a few more protected spots on the PS and expand a few slots there.

The NFLPA pushed for less contact in practices to cut down on injuries but I'm not sure it's working out that way. There's a fine line you gotta walk between practicing too hard and getting your body ready to play. Football players have to have contact, fighters have to spar. You can overdo it but if you underdo it that's not gonna work either.

I don't think it has much to do with that. You just can't keep increasing the amount of games without this being inevitable.

fug PS spots, the NFLPA should push for larger game day rosters the next time 18 games comes up.

Yeah. Tough end to what started out as a good story for him and the Colts.

The fun is just starting for the sideline headset wearing owner women.  
They gave up their next two 1st round picks for a cornerback. And from what little I saw, really should not have done that.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
