Wow. Retiring at 27.
I don't blame him. At least maybe he'll have some of his brain left at 50.

Damn Jobu. Can't believe you didn't have a better response to this. You're slipping.

Haha, damn, you're right. Must be the grandpa in me. I'll snap out of it.
Definitely some gash up the middle. Gaping.

Rich Lazy DJ Moore going to the Bill per Schefter. Will see how Josh Allen likes it when DJ Moore walks off the field mid-play or breaks his route off early!

Tempo does not think he will be the starter. As an Uber driver, Tempo may be a PFF panelist/judger. Either way, he's not a fan of this guy!

Nope. Got lucky He's Monty Sweat II.

Yeah I'm good with not paying that price for Crosby

We already have a QB who paints his nails, we don’t need a guy named Maxx too

Hey guys. I was on TheScore this morning discussing how the Bears got screwed on the comp pick for Cunningham!

I think 10-7 is very achievable. Very achievable if the Bears are as good as we think they should be.

Jets, Dolphins, Falcons, Saints. We’ve got some cupcakes in there.

No easy divisional games, but that can’t be avoided.

rest of the out of conference games are probably going to win their division or are at least playoff teams

I hear it's now the Hammond Bears.

Let the Trumper suckers in Indiana pay for the stadium.

take on the Bears situation. Kinda long but I am taking away fault as 2/3s Bears, 1/3 Illinois. But I could see it being more 50/50. Either way, a disappointing cluster!
It's mostly the incompetence of the McCaskey Org. They're still operating on the mindset that taxpayers should pay for their sole business endeavor for the privilege of having their home team. They played "chicken" with IL to threaten them to give in everything.
They bought Arl. Hts. property so they COULD OWN IT ALL, Illinois agreed to pay $880M in infrastructure upgrades and it still wasn't enough, even though the team would only play @10 games/yr, theyd get all the $ from year-round concerts, etc.
It's also Chicago and Chicago pols meddling at the 11th hour and refusing to vote to keep the team IN ILLINOIS if it meant they would not be in Chicago.
Gov. was pretty accommodating, but wouldn't put a gun to taxpayers' heads after Bears still owed them $150M from their state-funded Soldier Field rehab, and didn't wanna even pay that back.
All in all, it was a negotiating disaster on all sides. And they're leaving season ticket holders who paid big for PSLs high and dry, stiffed.
Let them build it on a slag heap that was a Fed toxic Superfund clean-up site, Indiana will pay to build their stadium so they won't have to shell out $2B of their own, but Bears will own NOTHING.
Majority of current ticket holders reside in north and west suburbs, have fun getting to Hammond while 75K others are trying to at the same time.
Not our fault the team is their only business, revenue source unlike other owners.
We'll see. They're still playing chicken and bluffing to get more to stay. Fuck them, the ill will and disloyalty to their birth state we be their legacy.
I'll never attend a game there. Used to split season tickets, glad I quit after 18 years during the remodel debacle when they played at U of I for free.
It's all very disgusting.
-
Pretty spot on, I’d say.
-
I’d say Bears ownership deserves about 60% of the blame for its clumsy, heavy-handed negotiating approach. The rest goes equally to the State of Illinois and City of Chicago.
More than 20 years ago, Richard M. Daley and the Bears ruined a meaningful memorial to U.S. soldiers who had died in combat during World War I. I also recall discussion of moving the team to the former U.S. Steel South Works site in Southeast Chicago.
If they can’t secure a public funding deal for the Arlington Heights site before the fall legislative veto session, then the team can play on top of a slag heap in Northwest Indiana. So be it.
-
lol stupid Bears, stupid Chicago
-
Forest missed through the trees....Why would any Chicago legislator vote to assist the Bear moving out of Chicago without Chicago getting anything in return?
Have to wonder what Kam Buckner and Cunningham were promised to carry the water for the Bear in Springfield.
-
lol stupid Bears, stupid Chicago
Greedy Bears, Chicago doing what they gotta do.

I had paid zero attention to the NFL or Bears until yesterday. PGA Tour season is over.
So how is everyone feeling? Based on what I’m hearing I’m not as confident as I was a few months back. I think the Bears will be ok, but last years’ success might be hard to duplicate. A lot of games could be a race to 35.
-
Bryant out. Gordon still out. Was hopeful a couple of others could take a step and they didn’t even make the team. Still trying to catch up on what’s going on.
Hopefully Jordan Van Den Berg is every bit as good as they are saying. They will likely need him to be.

I think the Bears will be good but it will not surprise me if they are bad (especially defensively).

None of it matters unless Matthew Stafford gets hurt. And maybe not if he does.

McVay was just dumb to fly in so late
-
McVay didn’t bring the Rams to Australia until the day before the game. Not saying that’s why they lost, but I bet it didn’t help. SF usually kicks in the Rams’ shit in the regular season anyway.

QED

Let me see if I can assist with this.
The San Francisco 49ers lead the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams 79–71–3 since their rivalry started in 1950. Though the San Franciscan squad has held an advantage recently.

Sorry Mr. Reacher, this does not compute. During the 2024 NFL regular season, the Los Angeles Rams won both matchups against the San Francisco 49ers.
Game 1: Week 3
Date: September 22, 2024
Location: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California
Score: Rams 27, 49ers 24
Details: The Rams overcame a double-digit deficit to beat the 49ers with a late field goal in a thrilling 27-24 victory.
Game 2:
Week 15
Date: December 12, 2024
Location: Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, California
Score: Rams 12, 49ers 6
Details: The Rams played strong defense to win a low-scoring 12-6 game on Thursday Night Football.

Wow. HAL catches Tempo spreading misinformation.....

Oh, cool. What about 2025? Which was last year.

As usual, you can’t properly interpret what you read.

Didn't the Ram beat them both games in 2024?
My bad here, I thought you meant last year. Fitting from a guy who demands “his land” back from 3,500 years ago.
Regardless, Shanahan has a clear advantage over McVay minus the time it counted most. And if a SF DB doesn’t drop an easy INT in the 4th quarter, it would have been the Niners in the SB.
-

Uh, didn't HAL tell us the historical record? It is not as if you had limited your take to Shanahan versus McKay in your original post.....

I didn’t lie, I thought you meant last year, but of course you brought up something meaningless.

Might as well have been.

I wasn’t talking about the days of Roman Gabriel. I’m talking something relevant, like Shanahan vs McVay.
-
And even so, the Niners hold the lifetime edge; so this isn’t a win for you.
-

So you posted misinformation?
Have to love how the 2024 season is meaningless when discussing the historical records of the two franchises....

No, I misinterpreted your stupid and meaningless statement.

Big 8 game advantage over 76 years is a win for you? I guess you need to claim them when you can....

Seems like a sharper individual would know I wasn’t talking about the days before we were born, but about current regimes. My bad for giving the audience too much credit.

No, but it’s definitely not a win for you.

Again, not ironic you made a virtually meaningless point.

Nor can you post what you actually mean. Then again, we all know you move the goalposts whenever you are shown to be wrong.

Pritzker, Goodell, Pat Ryan (Bears minority owner), among attendees of talks to make a deal in AH. Pritzker said “all the right players were at the table.”
Not in attendance were Kevin Warren and any McCaskeys.

Rome Odunze is flirting with bust status. He needs to show something when Caleb comes back, the excuses are running out.
At this point a 2nd contract with the Bears looks unlikely.

Lol didnt even remember he was on the team still, he did so little this year

Montez has been ok. Not worth his paycheck, though. The argument you and I have had is whether or not Montez Sweat was “the problem” with the Bears. I still maintain he wasn’t “the problem,” just as DJ Moore wasn’t “the problem.” They weren’t necessarily the solutions, but they weren’t “the problems.”

He made a few plays the first couple games. Been pretty quiet the last 2-3.

I guess that was the first win against GB in December. Overall, DJ was a net postive in Chicago. It’s easy to blame him for the playoff loss. More than anything his not being here was an economic decision.

LOL. And then he stopped on his route in their last game and got his sorry ass traded. Just be a man and admit you were wrong....again!
