Bears will exercise Leonard Floyd's fifth-year option, keeping him in Chicago through the 2020 season.
No brainer.
Bears will exercise Leonard Floyd's fifth-year option, keeping him in Chicago through the 2020 season.
I’m hoping Floyd is having a Kyle Fuller career trajectory.
Bust? > late bloomer > decent player > Pro Bowl.
Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace had their end of season press conference today at Halas Hall:
A lot to take out of this. Some of my initial takeaways:
-They haven't closed the door on Kareem Hunt as a possibility.
-Nagy wasn't thrilled about Parkey appearing on the Today Show.
-There will be an open competition at kicker heading into next season.
Parkey. Nagy wasn't happy that Cody appeared on a talk show. Which one, what did he say? Don't know. Why the heck would you appear on a talk show anyway?
For that reason, the final straw, I think Parkey is gone. How the Bears cut him, I don't know. MIllion$ involved. Shouldn't Bears take a look at Chase of Illinois, first team BIG?
Loved his quote in the interview "When I saw it hit the upright I thought it was going to bounce through." Why, because you hit the upright like six times during the season and none of them bounced through?He tried to play the sob story on the Today Show like he was a victim. Didn’t go over well with some players and former players (Lance Briggs) according to Twitter. Not sure what Parkey’s agenda was, maybe trying to look good for a future team. But it came off as being selfish and all about him instead of the team.
Just a brutal defensive showing in OT from the Chief defense. How do you allow three straight 3rd and 10 conversions on what was basically the same play? Major defensive overhaul obviously needed.
9 Super Bowls in 18 year for the Pats. That’s amazing.
The Pats (11), Steelers (8) and Broncos (8) account for 27 of the AFC’s 53 Super Bowl appearances.
The NFL overtime rules need an overhaul. For a game to end like that because of a coin flip is disappointing.
I seem to be in the minority on this but I'm perfectly fine with the NFL's overtime rules. If the Chiefs defense stops the Patriots on any of the 3 3rd and 8+s the Patriots had in OT, then this is all a moot point.
The overtime rules in the NFL, I'd argue, are better than college given the length of the field the defense has to cover and the offenses at both levels. Team scoring a TD on the first possession gives not only the essentially walk-off quality to the game but, since the NFL seems so interested in player safety, there'd be no point for the Chiefs to come out there after that and essentially have a 4 and out.
Maybe the simplicity of this solution is what appeals to me, but I'd love for the NFL to scrap 1-2 preseason games for the wear and tear on the players' bodies and have the overtime be a full 15-minute period.
I assume you mean full 15 minute OT in the regular season as it's 15 in the playoffs.
Don't want to answer for him but I assumed he meant one full 15 minute period and which ever team has the most points at the end of the period wins as opposed to the TD/Safety in the first possession or the TD/Safety/FG in the second possession.
Thank you, Car Ramrod.
The team that loses the toss never touches the ball 25% of the time. The W/L is 60/40 for the coin toss winner. Honestly I thought it would be higher than that, but it's a substantial advantage.For me, NFL overtime is simply not a fair and balanced system. In order to measure how good a team is, I believe you have to see both the offense and defense on the field. Not just one unit.
The current NFL system allows for these scenarios where one side of the ball may never get on the field.
