2025-26 NFL Thread

[Billy Hoyle]

"Dante, last year's #2 pick signed for $46 million. This year will probably get $50 million if the Jets pick you at #2."

"I'll take my chances of not getting a career ending injury at Oregon. Thank you."

[MU82]

Only two reasons for Moore to stay in college:

1. He truly loves Oregon, wants one more year of the college experience, and wants another shot at a title.

2. He thinks he's nowhere near ready to be an NFL quarterback.

It's a curious decision to many because, unlike most such decisions, it really isn't about the money.

John Harbaugh to the Giants.

John Harbaugh to the Giants.

Solid hire for the G-Men. Bears' fans can attest, the right coach can make a huge difference. I think the Giants challenge for the playoffs next year.

And Monken it would seem.  So I guess the reports of their fractured relationship were exaggerated.

For a cool 100 million.

The Ravens did him a favor.

Phil Jackson always used to say that there is an expiration date for coaches with one organization, that change is healthy and necessary.

I think, much like the Bears jump, a lot depends on how Dart develops into and during Year 2.  I think they need to hit the draft well/get lucky to have enough weapons on the roster, but I think Harbaugh will bring much needed stability and experience.

The Ravens did him a favor.

Totally agree on this.  Harbaugh, much like McCarthy in Dallas or before it got real bad in GB, was a good coach but just ran out of ideas, IMO.  I think he was struggling how to figure out the best way to manage Lamar Jackson as well.  I think, depending on the Ravens hiring someone that isn't Matt Nagy or Jim Schwartz, its highly likely to see both the Ravens and Giants see an improvement bump next season.

While it would be wild to go from getting fired as an OC to getting a prime HC position in the same offseason, I'd love to see Kingsbury's offense with Lamar.

Jim Schwartz would be history making.  And not just so Mel Brooks can use him as a punchline in Spaceballs 2.

A lot of talk about the weather on Sunday in Chicago, but I don't think it will make a huge difference, with one exception.

The Rams special teams are awful, and I think if the Bears are going to win on Sunday, bad Rams special teams will play a big factor. Mevis is a rookie and kicking at Soldier Field on a cold and windy day in January is no joke. Their coverage units are not good and they're the only team in the NFL whose philosophy is to aim for touchbacks on every kickoff. I think if any unit is going to be impacted by the weather, it'll be the Rams ST unit.

Good luck with that. It will take a lot more than the special team's performance in cold weather for the Bears to beat the Rams on Sunday. It will come down to controlling the line of scrimmage and clamping down on Puka. The Bears can do, no doubt about it. I just hope things turn out better for the Rams than the last time they played on the road against the Bears in a playoff game.

I think the weather is a push.  Yes, the Rams haven't played in it.  Neither have the Bears.  Not like Sunday's forecast.

No there is a magical effect when you wear the Bears' uniform in this 'Bears' weather. 

I agree, Stafford is always good and has experience in Chicago and GB.

It cannot possibly be worse than the special teams performance just witnessed at Soldier Field

With the Packers in Cancun, this is correct.
