2022-2023 NFL Season

Sorry, MU82

The Dream, errr Process, is still alive.... I think the Texans will beat the Colts. Maybe the Bears will be 'on the clock' this time next week.

I take back what I said about the Bears drafting Carter or Anderson. Trade down enough to draft an entire OL

As I've been saying since before the season, the Bears, by design, have very little NFL talent. A lot of the players on the team will not be in the NFL next year.

Almost an epic catastrophe in Tampa.

Maye he thinks the Commanders are in the NBA, where everyone makes the playoffs.

That's right up there with Donovan McNabb not knowing games can end in a tie.

Even if Detroit and Green Bay tie?

Jaire is playing big boy football today. Called for it and living up to it

Sorry, MU82

Not happy, but not surprised. Woulda been hard to say they deserved being in the playoffs, though I would have taken it.

They have an interesting dilemma with Darnold, who actually played really well after he got his position back. The Panthers have a good OL now, and like a whole lot of QBs he's pretty good when he has time to pass. He won't get $18M/year from anyone (I don't think), but there will be interest and he won't have to stand in a bread line.

Almost an epic catastrophe in Tampa.

Frankly, that was one of the most amazing plays I've ever seen a punter make. Damn, the Panthers could have stolen that game right there!

Vikes are who we thought they were, eh?

[tower912]

Jets are not holding up their end.

[GB Warrior]

Jefferson has as many tackles as catches through 50 minutes.

Tough dilemma. Carter can be a franchise building block at the most important position in Eberflus' defense, but man, they need lots of players.

I think the decision will be based on what they do in free agency.

Also, Poles still hasn't spoken publicly. Maybe he isn't even sold on fields. Running QBs don't win Super Bowls.

It would be pretty unfair to put Det/GB into the Sunday night slot next week. That game needs to be played simultaneously with Seattle/LA.

It is interesting that Poles didn't draft Fields, and that certainly matters here. If Poles thinks Young or Stroud give the franchise a better long term outlook, I think he'd entertain anything, assuming he could get at least 2 firsts back for Fields.

Am I missing something? I've seen a fair number of Bear's games this year and can't imagine he's worth multiple first round picks.

It appears the best QB in division led his team to 3 wins while QBs 2-4 (or is Nathan Pieterman 2?) are in the Playoffs (not sure how we're ranking Goff, Rodgers, and Cousins, just know they're not one!) and playing each other to make the playoffs.

Trash
When you said the Bears would only win 3 games (I think after they beat SF in week 1) I thought you were way off (thought 6 was more likely) and said so. But when they lose next week your prediction will be dead on. Nice call!

[Lennys Tap]

A well educated, experienced and seasoned sports executive with tons of FO experience?  Are we sure there isn't an accountant they could hire instead?

LOL. Does Ted Phillips have a son or daughter who needs a job?

That QB went 7-21 for 75 yards in a game where situations dictated throwing early and often against a bad defense.

There is a dearth of talent around him, but there is no universe in which Fields is the best, 2nd best, or 3rd best QB in the division right now. Best athlete and perhaps 2nd most difficult to game plan against.

Wades was being funny. Nobody ever said Fields was the best in the division (maybe has the potential). And the Packers and Lions are not in the playoffs. The whole post should have been in teal.

Nope, there were definitely posts about the Bears having the best quarterback in the division.

Ok. I'll take your word for it. This is an internet fan board so anything and everything is possible.

I will say in Fields' defense, even Mahomes could not take this Bears team to the playoffs, so using the playoffs as a barometer of QB play is not always the best.

If you were to "redraft" the divisional QB for next year, where would you take Fields?

That is some funny stuff. What an idiot. Even after he threw 5 or 6 TDs in that one game, that would be a dumb hot take.
