2022-2023 NFL Season

GREAT RESULTS!

Bears' plan coming together nicely. 

[Uncle Rico]

GREAT RESULTS!

Man, great position to be in.  Texans going QB seems certain.  Can get a ransom at 1 or stay put.  Great opportunity to speed up the rebuild

[Dish]

I will say, the Bears traded the 32nd pick for Claypool, which I disliked at the time, and hate even more now.

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

GREAT RESULTS!

lol your qb is a running back why are you cheering losses I'm not panicking about GB's demise

Do the Bears get the #1 pick??

I mean, did GB win the division?

The Packers won the transitory division last week

Who will the Bears take #1?

[Uncle Rico]

Who will the Bears take #1?

They'll trade out

This is incredibly on-brand. Respect.

Today, for the first time all season, I was rooting for the Panthers to lose. They screwed that up by beating the Saints 10-7 in a horrible game, and they dropped several draft spots in the process.

So my guys were just bad enough to fail to win the worst division in the league but not bad enough to get a high draft pick.

Woo-hoo.

To all those whose teams made the playoffs, congrats. And (I guess) congrats to Bear fans, too.

Congratulations to Bears fans for having the most exciting day in the recent history of the franchise!

Thanks! 👍

Just imagine how much better it'll be if the Lions keep the Packers out of the Playoffs tonight...🤯. Can you say better than a Super Bowl?!

[Jockey]

A bit of a problem, though.

To get the #1 pick, you need to be the worst team in football. Chicago is clearly that team. The QB is an unknown commodity. Is he just a runner or can he start hitting open receivers (not that the Bears have many of those)?

They need to add 5-6 quality players on offense. Then you have the worst defense in football to try and re-build. They won't be the worst team in the NFL next year but they will be closer to that than to the best team.

I think you have me confused with a meatball fan, someone who is generally more concerned with an opponent than their own team.

Oh, I see what I did there.

Remember this GM didn't draft Fields either. And if they believe that Bryce Young, my guess is they would see what the market is like for Fields.

Which brings up an intriguing option... Do you trade Fields for a ransom & start the rookie QB salary cap clock all over again with #1? Would put the new QB's developmental timeline in line with the rest of the team's.

I like Fields and think he's worth building around, but that's something that should definitely be considered

If you think Caleb Williams is the next big thing, it's not bad to be bad in 2024. Your point is very valid though, they are many players away.

This, too, is an option.  Lots of teams desperate for QBs.

Bears are in a great position at the moment.  Can they maximize it?  That is the question

So THAT was the long game. Have your "dude" lose a bunch of games to get the #1 overall pick...to have MORE great results! next year so you can get your "dude's" replacement at the top of NEXT year's draft.

Yeah, you haven't been saying anything about the Packers and how they've been worse off winning games and should be playing Love all year long!

And haven't been worrying about the Texans and what they're doing all year long, and celebrating their great result today!

Nope. Not you. Only concerned about your team!

[The Sultan]

Actually Dish is about as level-headed a fan as there is. I think his joy over this season is misplaced but that's not because he's a meathead Bears' fan.

[Dish]

OMG

[The Sultan]

That was a wild final minute. A tie does Seattle no good...unless Green Bay and Detroit tie.
