Good for 19 more yards than the Bears gained today.JUSTIN TUCKER WITH THE NFL RECORD 66 YARD FG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I picked him up in my FFB league. Most of the other managers said "who?" when I did that but are now looking to trade.....Chase McLoughlin looking pretty good for the Browns today
I am not saying Nagy has no fault in this, but Pace has been in Chicago longer and has yet to put together an effective offensive line!not just him , but Pace also
Ive been beating that same drum for 15 years. Some people say that when the grand old dame passes, her kids and grandkids will force a sale. I dont know if thats true, but one can hope. Until that "sale" of controlling interest occurs, we are stuck in Dante's Inferno.I have said it before here and I will say it again...as long as the McCaskey family owns the team, we are going to be stuck in Football Hell.
The season goes one of two directions from here--either a complete free-fall to a disastrous won-loss record or they can somehow stumble around to maybe 7 wins or so. Playoff contention looks to be completely out of the picture for this group. Off the top of my head they have two games with Detroit and also the Steelers and Giants who I think are pretty bad teams but who knows how the season plays out, some teams will be improving and others going downhill as the season progresses.And the Bears might be the worst of the lot. What’s the best case scenario for that team? 5-12?
And remember that they don’t have a first round draft pick.
They’ve once again shoved all their chips into the middle of the table on a young qb while putting that young qb into an impossible situation.

Fields ran the offense called for him.The line is actually quite offensive!
In all seriousness, I have been saying since we traded for Kahlil Mack and really set our defense that we need to spend our first and second round draft picks over a 2-3 year period for the best linemen available when we pick. I don’t even care if it’s a reach. Best tackle here, best guard there, and develop.
Having a first round stud qb doesn’t matter (obviously) if the line can’t do anything. Imagine a young line with solid potential and 1-2 years experience working together. That is when you draft a qb. He can learn the game while adequately protected. If you can speed up the line development by grabbing a young tackle in free agency off his rookie contract, even better. But we haven’t put resources and development into the offensive line for as long as I can remember.
I was hopeful Justin Fields running ability would save him from our line. I was wrong. He seemed content to trust his line and be a pocket passer. IMO he needs to look first read and run. Our line can’t get him to his second progression so F it and use that 6’5 235 lb 4.4 speed.
The Bears almost never left a back in to block. They never chipped with their tight ends on the DEs. Their blocking TE saw only one snap. They abandoned the running game, with Montgomery getting 2 or 3 carries in the second half. They called one play action pass. They called one screen pass, very late in the game. They never doubled the DEs that were causing havoc. They never rolled away from the DEs causing havoc.
It looked like the Bears were intentionally trying to get their rookie quarterback killed.
According to this story, Da Bears are moving to Arlington Heights, IL, will be announced on Wednesday. Local media hasn't picked up on it yet, the story was posted about an hour ago and has been updated at least once.
Bears sign purchase agreement for Arlington Park property: Exclusive
"We are not surprised by this move. We remain committed to continuing the work to keep the team in Chicago and have advised the Bears that we remain open to discussions," a spokesperson for the mayor's office said in a statement to The Athletic.theathletic.com
So what's your point? The wheels are in motion. Obviously it's not gonna happen immediately, but there's only one reason they're buying that land.They've signed the purchase agreement. Doesn't mean they'll move there immediately or even at all anytime in the near future. Considering how much they'd owe the Chicago Park District if they broke the Soldier Field lease before 2026, this is just the first step to them eventually moving out there.
The best way to get a better deal at your current job is to make it look like someone else is interested. This might be something, or this might just be leverage to restructure their deal with the CPD.So what's your point? The wheels are in motion. Obviously it's not gonna happen immediately, but there's only one reason they're buying that land.
I'm not touching the game as far as bets, but the offense will be better tomorrow. Don't be scared of ARob or Montgomery tomorrow. Swift from Detroit, assuming he plays, is a play on draftkings.
