They didn't have a deep threat to beat us. It won't be this easy the rest of the way. 

They had a lot of very open WR but Jones couldn't get it to them. The 49ers will roast them if they do that.

Fields is not the answer in Chicago.  He’s not going to be making any leap in development, but that doesn’t mean the Bears should use their #1 pick on a QB replacement.  Neither Stroud nor Young is a generational talent.  They will be there in next year’s draft too; they’ll just have different names.

The Bears need a lot more than a QB.  If they believe there is a generational talent at #1 like Will Anderson or anyone else then take them.  If not, trade down a few spots, accumulate draft capital, and wait for a great QB prospect

I’ll take it - a gameplan variation based on the opponent’s strengths/weaknesses and something our personnel can do.

We also passed on a field goal well within Jake’s range in the name of field position. Because we were in complete control. 

100%.  Didn't need to go for it nor kick from a spot he had trouble with in practice. Punting for field position deep was the right call.

No medical attention on the sidelines means he most likely wasn't hurt. If he had tweaked something, he would have had trainers all over him. 

Stop it….we need something to worry about all week

Why has there not been much coverage at all of Peyton hillis almost drowning, not taking anything away from damar incident, which was awful, but it makes one wonder

 

Because one player has long been retired that happened on a beach somewhere and the other was a current player happening on the field during a prime time national audience for everyone to see. 

Agree with this take. These are the 6 best teams.

Having to only play 2 of the 5, instead of 3, is why that 1st round bye matters so much.

Maybe so

those poor little bastids.

probably haven’t seen the light of day for more than an hour at a time during their brief existence 

Kinda like your tiny trouser hog?  

Looking at the NFL head coaching tracker, it appears Steichen has had 3 interviews (CAR, IND, HOU), while Gannon has only interviewed in HOU.

If I was an NFL exec I’d be more interested in Steichen as a result of how Hurts has developed, but he doesn’t strike me as a guy who would "wow” someone in a sit-down interview for a head coach role.  Both are up against Demeco Ryans for the Texans job.

Quite possible that both coordinators are back with the Eagles next season.

At this point who cares how they win.

My father still can’t watch the final series of the Super Bowl without complaining about how they allowed the Patriots to convert that fourth down play and then proceed to hit Gronkowski a couple of times and get out of bounds to get the ball to midfield. "Jeez dad, they finally won the Super Bowl and you’re upset about it somehow?”

You’re gonna get reported by one of the rats on here, so I suggest you put a tampon in and Shutup

I don’t care how good SF’s defense is or what weapons they have on that side of the ball. If this offense is clicking, they could put up 50 against them.

No, I forgot to give Mark a username to access the upgrade software. I gave him the password, but not the username.

There are traits that make great coordinators and traits that make great head coaches.  Often successful coordinators don't have the latter.

You also see certain coordinators tabbed early as potential HCs.  IIRC, John Harbaugh was one.  Leadership, organization, communication aren't the same as scheming and game planning.

You are probably right, but given when it happened and the score at the time, he was clearly going to see zero snaps going forward, and a tweaked hammy wouldn’t prompt a swarm of trainers.  @HazletonEagle can correct me if I’m wrong

There were a number of Kelce’s snaps that were errant.  That was one of them.

Yup.

They're not going to be able to pay Barkley and Jones and stay competitive, just can't do it in today's NFL.

Conventional wisdom says pay the QB and let the RB walk but conventional wisdom also says don't use the number 1 pick in the draft on RB either so🤷‍♂️

It's a different regime now than the one whom drafted Barkley at 2.

You are the rat. Take your own advice.

 

Remember when people were saying Devonta Smith wasn't big enough or tough enough to play in the NFL?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.
