Woody Johnson, certified idiot.  Good luck, Jets fans.

This is why teams like the Jets, Bears, Panthers, Cowboys will never win a championship.

Organizations win titles.

I wonder if Rodgers has a greater appreciation for Gutenkust and Murphy after his time in New York.

Jets staffers: "The most dysfunctional place imaginable."

George McCaskey: "Hold my iced tea"

We'll never know.

[Jockey]

We'll never know.

I think we have an indication.

I haven't watched the Rodgers thing on Netflix, but listening to the radio today they said Rodgers gave Ted Thompson credit for drafting both Rodgers AND Love. According to Rodgers, Ted advised Gutey to draft Love. None of the people on the show, including guys like Wilde and tauscher had ever heard of that before, so I expect it was just another shot at Gutey From Rodgers trying to make sure Gutey didn't get credit.

It's almost certainly a B.S. story.  Ted was already in pretty rough shape by time he was relieved of GM duties in 2017.  I have my doubts he was very helpful in 2020

I can see a scenario where Gutey contacted Ted and talked through his experience drafting a quarterback who was going to replace a legend, and Ted said something like "If you think he's that good, you should draft him."

But yeah TT wasn't scouting quarterbacks prior to the 2020 draft.

You know Aaron Rodgers is lying when he opens his mouth.  But he doesn't like drama.

Why does the media keep doing this to him?

Why does the media keep doing this to him?

Liars get clicks and likes.

[Uncle Rico]

Why does the media keep doing this to him?

At this point, it's calculated so he can claim victim hood.  When he started blaming the "woke mob", he lost the plot. 

His attacks on Ryan Clark are a prime example.  By making you look at Clark, framing him as a corporate stooge, Rodgers can use him as an example of how you have to "sell out" to get one of those gigs.

Rodgers would have sold his soul to get a gig like that post-nfl.  He wanted the Jeopardy job.  He said previously it was a dream to host SNL.  Now that those are off the table, he can't take personal responsibility for why that is.  Enough dolts will buy it and he'll probably be able to do some spots on Outkick

So rumors are the Bears are going to hire a HC/GM. The HC can pick his puppet GM (ala NE-Belichick, KC- Reid)and even though they don't like Poles they are gong to let the HC/GM decides Poles future.

They always hang onto mediocre people too long. I don't know if its because they like them, don't want to pay them, or don't think they are actually mediocre - maybe some combination of the three - but none of this makes sense.

[tower912]

I am going to attempt to change my attitude and follow Coach Campbell, Coach Glenn, and Penei Sewell.  Detroit is 12-2.  They lost a shootout to a good team.  There are lessons to be learned, improvements to be made, and winnable games to be played.

You are right. I think all three are the answer but also I'd point to the fact that nobody knows who reports to who; if the owner hires the coach, can the GM or president fire the HC?

I don't think anyone at Halas Hall knows what their job is and who works for them. It has become clear the Warren does not respect Poles, but I don't think he is in a position to replace him.

Classic s&!t show. Ownership is failing either due to incompetence or indifference.

The Bears have a way of making one feel better about their team.

[NCMUFan]

Who to root for (if a Packer fan):
Philly vs Washington?
Detroit vs Chicago?

[tower912]

The Packers are going to make the playoffs.  The odds of them getting the #1 seed or win the NFC North.and get the #2 seed.   So, which outcome gets the Packers the best wild card seed?

[Uncle Rico]

Lots of Lions fans in Chicago today

[tower912]

Short drive.  Easier to get a ticket than Ford Field.   The Bears are embracing the season of giving.

[Jockey]

If 75% of your passes are checkdowns or screens, your QB sucks.

[Jockey]

I hate watch Bears games, but even I am starting to feel sorry for them.


Just kidding!
