2024-25 NFL Thread

It's a terrible organization.  Rotten from the top-to-bottom.  Hopefully for them, Williams can overcome the rot.  Won't be easy, especially in such a strong division.

I have no idea if rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, Justin Fields, Mitch trubisky or Caleb Williams could have been good/great NFL QBs depending on which team had them first.

But I'll always deeply believe that no matter who is QB for this franchise - with this ownership - they'll never be that level.

In that same vein, I'll always truly believe that if Mahomes or Allen or Lamar or Burrow..etc ...started their careers in Chicago, they'd be viewed - and put up similar stats - to the aforementioned group.

I think the issue the Bears are having is fairly straight forward.  The coaches have a concept of an offense, but don't have the players to run that offense.  If you're drafting #1 and you take a QB, you create an offense FOR him.  Not whatever you think works.  That part of the game has passed a lot of front offices and coaching staffs by.  If you want to see how to do it correctly, look no further than Green Bay.  Malik Willis is not the same player as Jordan Love.  So the coaching staff designed the offense to help Malik succeed, and that is exactly what has happened. 

The Bears coaching staff, front office, and players are all building different and wrong teams, and the result is entirely predictable.

It's even more straight forward than that. It is the worst OL in the NFL. Very hard, if not impossible, to scheme for that.

And yet, they were projected in the top 15 by pff

Bears OL "We were picked #11? F*ck Um, we'll prove we are the worst".

Yea that felt like a kiss of death.  Bates was never healthy and is now on IR.  Nate Davis was supposed to be a big help at guard and he seems like he got a payday and stopped caring cause hes been HORRIFIC.  And somehow Darnell Wright has regressed after closing the year very well.

The kicker on Dallas is ridiculous.  He made that 60 harder look like an XP. 

[PGsHeroes32]

I think Mugs gets more aroused by 50+ yard field goals than he does aquatic mammals

I have no idea what Anthony Richardson and the Colts were thinking. Richardson clearly hurt, comes back in, and the Colts immediately run an RPO that Richardson keeps. He slides late and gets lit up and injured again. So dumb.

[jesmu84]

More quick screens. More short throws. More Swift.

Looks like the accountability and player-led confrontation worked.

Fire this coaching staff

[Pakuni]

Bo Nix after one quarter.
4-for-8, for -8 yards.



Update
Now 5-for-10 for -9 yards.

And yet his rating is still higher than JordanLove.

Pretty big indictment of Bryce Young on how much better Carolina is without him.

[JWags85]

Fairly good and promising end to the half for Williams. OL is still trying to get him killed, but he's getting the ball out to his safety valves and his clock in the pocket seems better.

Offensive scheme still stinks and timing needs to improve with the WRs, but I see a young QB growing in a tough situation and that's encouraging.

Defense still tough as nails and the Montez Sweat trade is aging like fine wine

Yeah. Panthers WAY better with (drum roll) Andy Daulton!

Shoulda had a TD if DJ actually runs his route

[jesmu84]

Uptempo works for the bears.

Waited til week 4 to try it.

Where'd all the Swift haters go?

Hitting the QB in the head is OK now.

Against the 31st ranked run defense, he was good.

[Uncle Rico]

Houston beats London in the final minute, 24-20.  Jags are 0-4.  Trevor Simien 18-33-2-0-169

Broncos travel east and beat the AFC favorites, NY Jets, 10-9. Bo Nix 12-25-1-0-60.  Aaron Rogers 24-42-225-0-0, sacked 5 times

[Herman Cain]

Belichick to Jags?

[Uncle Rico]

Belichick to Jags?

Why would he work for that garbage organization?  And have to live in London?

He'd fit right in.  He is also garbage.
