Honestly think ideal for us is 9-8. Definitely a brutal order to our schedule of a crappy bye and playing teams at the wrong time. Like seriously... They gave us Seattle week 17 again...

Don't really blame them. We were pretty lucky to win 8 games last year with all the 3 point wins we had

Looks like the bears open as -2.5 favorites. Was thinking it would be bears -1 or -1.5, so a little higher than I thought

Fair, but Joe Person isn't anywhere near as bad as David Newton was

Honestly don't think we can get anything worse outside of maybe the male reporter version of Russini...

Yeah. I think his tape at Tulane also showed that he could run more routes than he was responsible for at Tennessee, which was just curls, slants, screens, and gos.

Don't love our current RBs now, but I think there are decent RB free agent options if Brooks isn't healthy. I personally would like to see us get Ekeler (assuming he has fully healed from the achilles injury), since Bryce throws check downs to the RB like 50% of the time.

I guess we will see. -2.5 implies that sportsbooks think the Bears and Panthers are practically equal teams, which I don't think is the case (if your assumption was Panthers being favored)

We are too busy rejoicing that David Newton is finally gone

I will happily take no ESPN reporter for us over Newton

Don't think I have ever seen that one. Freaking hilarious

Really? You don't understand the hate. The guy was truly as incompetent as it gets. Here is one of many examples of his incompetence: https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/espn-reporter-apologizes-insensitive-question-xavier-legettes-father.html

That was the final step we needed! Superb owl, here we come!!

Outside of both having very good straight line speed, I don't see much in common. Chark was mostly a play action Chuck it deep type of receiver. Brazzell, while raw with route running, is fully capable of running most routes. He is way better at using his body to shield defenders from the ball than chark and does a better job attacking the ball and creating a wide catch radius. Agree Brazzell will need to prove he can beat the press and I imagine he will see a lot of it when he is on the field. I still think he has quite a bit of development to go through (particularly with his route running, press beat techniques, and reading zone coverage), so I don't expect to see him on the field much this year (barring injuries)

Probably closer to a PK. Can't see -2.5 for us

I will be shocked if proctor makes it as a tackle. He is way too slow moving laterally and seems to have zilcho burst when the ball is snapped. Guy can easily be a dominant IOL though

As someone who wanted Stroud over Bryce, Stroud was an absolute Trainwreck last year. He had a dominant defense and all he needed to do was not be god awful. Sadly he was more times than not

How long would Luke have played for us if he didn't get the concussions he did. Glad he got out before suffering any more brain damage, but damn I miss seeing him on the field

He definitely wasn't a JAG for us. Still can't believe he couldn't make the Jets roster

With how terrible we usually look week 1 (because we don't take training camp or preseason seriously), I say give us the hardest team possible on our schedule. Last thing we need to do is pull a week 2 Cardinals and lose to a team we shouldn't

D'Onta Foreman. JAG RB that almost got 1,000 yards rushing for us in 2022 before disappearing from the face of this Earth...

Gotta be honest... The way these details have been released in small, increasingly more obscene amounts is impressive by whoever is doing it. The person definitely has a personal vendetta against Vrabel/Russini.

While I I am thrilled at the sweep, we did not look good for a lot of games 2 n 4. We aren't getting away with that against high caliber teams

God that hall stank Blake like is eeeeelite

fug! Missed the winner. Was it Blake?
