OT: Bears & NFL Talk 76

[tgh]

Great game last night, so happy for coach Reid and The Chiefs!!

 

[Mister X]

They win if he continued to run the ball.

This is exactly what I was thinking. You were getting yards and eating up time, two things that are important when you have the lead and are in THE big game.

SB Prediction time...

I think the Chiefs offense is too strong. 34-24 Chiefs.

Last TD won me the square as well.

Random thoughts:

- The first half was hard to get into. A bit slow and the constant commercials took flow/excitement away

- The family friendly stripper pole halftime show - umm? Shakira still has 'it', but jaysus, J LO was always a marginal at best singing talent and she's 50 years old!

- Commercials were lame as hell. The Hyundai 'smaht pahk' one is good, but I've seen it like 1,000 times already since last week as it's the front of every YouTube video.

- Jimmy G is not a difference maker. Mitch was referenced and it was apropos. He looked a lot like Mitch - bad mechanics, back foot throws, failure to read his routes (Kittle missed first down) and a terrible overthrow that likely cost them the game.

- Mahomes got the MVP but should have gone to Williams. That said, it's what makes football fun. Mahomes not having a great game and then, in the clutch times, shows up and does his thing.

- For the vaunted SF defense, I thought their secondary was garbage. Particularly in the 4th quarter. Sherman beat badly twice.

Given that there was no actual singing done by either of them last night, her singing talents aren't of importance. What was noticeable is that she can still lip-sync with the best of 'em.

Saw on the sports channel last night, that The Pats are willing to pay Tom Brady $30 mil to stay in New England. Any thoughts on this one?

Brady wasn’t very good during the second half of the season. If he is going to come back, it should be to win another ring. If he takes 5-10M, they can build up the team around him enough to be a top contender.

From the Patriots POV, it makes sense that they would do anything to prevent Brady from playing elsewhere. He isn’t worth that salary though.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

That last touchdown cost me like $300. Stupid Damien Williams.

I was so close on score

Wrong on MVP though

Chiefs 30
49ers 20

CB Bashaud Breeland = SB MVP

 

[plasmonresonance]

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in "Anything Goes". Recently saw a very well done and interesting video by NFL Films about Tom Brady's Super Bowl LI jersey being stolen. I don't remember it being such a big deal, but then we're located in the midwest. ~ 55 min long.

Can someone explain to me why the Bears aren't one of the teams talking to Olsen?

Even though Olsen isn't what he used to be he is still superior to the shit we have at TE

Trey Burton is not good enough?

Maybe it's because Olsen doesn't want to talk to the Bears? Besides, I think the Bears might be focusing on a guy like Ebron (who has all but beg the Bears to sign him when FA begins) then a near retirement TE.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Love Greg Olsen. Should have never been traded in the first place. But no to signing him unless he comes really cheap.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Haha, Trubisky isn't a first-rounder in this PFF re-draft of 2017. Eddie Jackson is though, so that's good.

Radio Host Says Chicago Bears Are Talking to Bengals About #1 Pick


Shit source but it would be aggressive and I have no idea what to think about it.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Last time our GM was "Aggressive" at the draft we ended up with Mitch

We have nothing that could entice Bengals to give up that pick honestly unless Pace throws away future (Something like 4 1st round picks + more) which would be disaster for organization

Aggressive was Mack. Trubisky trAde is not this huge cost you are saying. Does he suck? Sure.

Pace has been very aggressive in his drafts. Unfortunately, when he trades up it usually doesn't pan out all that well. So in hindsight, we'd of been better off if he was more conservative.

Obviously the Bears don't have anything to get them up to #1. So that is out.

But is the talk of Mack being dangled a possibility? His value is probably down after a subpar year. His 8.5 sacks was his lowest total since his rookie year. I don't see anyone giving up 2 1sts for him right now.

"THE BEARS SIGN TOM BRADY TO A FOUR-YEAR, $110 MILLION DEAL

NE
CHI
Trying to link up with the NFL's best non-Patriots defense and win one more Super Bowl, Brady signs what really amounts to a one-year, $35 million deal with voidable years attached. Allen Robinson, weeping after six years of catching passes from Blake Bortles and Mitchell Trubisky, hands Brady his No. 12 jersey at the G.O.A.T.'s unveiling."

[chicagoskycam]

I really liked the XFL broadcast in terms of being able to hear everything the coaches are saying through the mic and everything in the huddle. I'm sure there will be some issues with opposing teams getting this info but man, it makes it much more interesting.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I like having Pat McAfee on game broadcasts

Garrett reinstated by Commish

Dont want to see anyone complain about "NHL Wheel of Justice" and talk up NFL in futur e

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Damn, even the mayor is calling Trusbisky out.

Damn, even the mayor is calling Trusbisky out.

Really don't think Webster should be saying anything about another person.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Outside the box idea for the Bears:
Reach an extension with Floyd with the intention of moving him to ILB. I think he could be a pro bowl ILB. He's miscast as an edge rusher.
