2021-2022 NFL Season

[forgetful]

I've said it before. But, Cooper Kupp should be the MVP.

Also, happy for Stafford. Seems like a genuinely good guy, was stuck in Detroit purgatory forever.

[Herman Cain]

Rams playing a home Super Bowl.

[MUBurrow]

Impossible not to feel for Deebo though.

[tower912]

Yes.

But there have been 10-15 "panic" snaps so far. Gotta get set at the line before you get under 5 seconds.

Gotta get the play in quicker.

OBJ picked the right QB to get him to the Super Bowl

[Marquette Fan]

I grew up in Cincy and had my heart broken with the two Super Bowl losses to the 49ers.  I became a Packers fan many many years ago when I attended Marquette.  But it is fun to see my hometown team make the Super Bowl for the first time in ages - Who Dey!

[Herman Cain]

We have a lot of football connections with Highland Park  High School  in Dallas so nice to see one of The Scotts alum , Matt Stafford, make it to the Super Bowl.

Impossible not to feel for Deebo though.

He was inconsolable after the game. Talk about giving it his all but it not being enough.

When the Niners got the ball with 6 1/2 minutes to go, Aikman thought they'd run Mitchell and throw screens to Deebo to methodically take the ball down field, eat up the clock and set up Gould for the winning kick. And that strategy seemed to make a lot of sense. Instead, Kyle Shanahan called 3 straight passes for Jimmy G. Three incompletions and about 15 seconds of clock time later, the Niners punted. Seemed a weird time for a coach that many label a genius to go away from what had been working throughout the playoffs.

Watching the Bengals this post season may the happiest I've ever been for a team not named the Bears.

Also, fun little Jimmy G anecdote.

One of my friends from Marquette went to Rolling Meadows while Jimmy G was there.

His fun fact/claim to fame was that during PE class he got hit in the face from a dodgeball thrown by Jimmy G himself.

Surprised it wasn't intercepted before it got to your friend's face.

Incredible effort. The way he runs, at 1000%, I do wonder how long his body can take that sort of punishment.

And there hasn't been much to be happy about the Bears for in your lifetime, so you can probably take out the last four words of your sentence!  (Sorry, had to.)

Packers are de facto afc champions since they beat the bengals earlier in the season.

BFD.

If the Bengals win, I'm hanging my Matt Nagy "2-0 against the last two SB champs" banner next to Wojo's "Winning record against Bucky" banner.

A broken clock is correct twice a day

"We're going to take the North and never give it back.

Cute.

[tower912]

Brady makes it official.

Brady makes it official.

Never a doubt. Schefter's a good reporter with good sources.

[Jockey]

So?

Schefter works for the NFL.

[Pakuni]

Never a doubt. Schefter's a good reporter with good sources.

I generally agree on his sources, though that largely is a result of carrying water for agents and the league.
And we'll always have ...

Anyone know how many years Eberflus got on his contract? Is there a reason Bears are being secretive about it? Are these the same old Bears?

He meant Northbrook.

They weren't willing to discuss it at the presser yesterday.  As skeptical as I normally am of Halas Hall, I sort of get this one.  You don't want to say "hey, the GM and the coach have identical contract lengths" and implicitly tie them to each other.  So instead of revealing both, or one and not the other, you just say nothing.

Getsy was a good hire.  I'm not totally sold on Alan Williams, but if you trust Eberflus and his D, than getting his lieutenant who knows his system cold isn't a terrible idea.

If they can get Joe Brady as a QB coach, that is intriguing.  Clearly he wasn't ready to be a play caller in the NFL, but I still trust his ability and talent in the passing game and lord knows the Bears need an injection of that.
