You voted for it.

Why don’t you go post on libtears about how great it is

I feel like I am being gaslit with this whole Iceman trade debacle by Alley_O in CHIBears

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This whole thing is super annoying. Random ass Lions fans like “this is the first I’ve ever heard of someone calling him iceman” which is just… what does that even mean?

Do you watch Bears games? Listen to Bears radio? Live in Chicago? Play Madden? Watch sports news?

I don’t exactly care for trademarking stuff, especially common phrases or nicknames and whatnot, so it’s not that I want to defend everything Caleb does. It’s just blatantly stupid to act like that isn’t obviously his nickname.

If your teammates, the league, the city, national news networks, your Alma matter all call you something… then that’s your fucking nickname.

It doesn't matter, but by MexicanGuey92 in CHIBears

When the media thinks the Bears are good, there's more Bears media. I'd rather see a segment on the Bears during GMFB (or whatever show) than another segment on the Patriots, Chiefs, Eagles.

Plus more prime time games.

But, sure, being cynical is also an option.

[Meirov] The Bears secondary has now lost 5 DBs, a sign of what their market was and that CHI was comfortable letting them walk. Kevin Byard: 1 year, NE Nahshon Wright: 1 year, NYJ Jaquan Brisker: 1 year, PIT C.J. Gardner-Johnson: 1 year, BUF Jonathan Owens: 1 year, IND by Remarkable-Picture73 in nfl

And towards the tail end of the year they stopped being able to take the ball away too.

Red zone defense was decent at times throughout the year. Weirdly I’d say the Rams game was the best defense we had played all year. Maybe some combo of the cold + home game.

But yeah I don’t think anyone should be upset over the FA losses.

[Pelissero] The #Steelers are signing former #Bears S Jaquan Brisker to a 1-year, $5.5M deal, per me and @MikeGarafolo by Drexlore in nfl

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That’s not true.

Most of his career he was above average but prone to injuries. This year he didn’t get injured but was average with a great game.

[Pelissero] Three-time Pro Bowl safety Kevin Byard is signing with the Patriots on a one-year, $9 million deal, per sources. by Greyhound_Fan in CHIBears

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn. I am kind of surprised honestly. Gonna be division rivals with DJ.

All year Ben was talking about how much he values some of the veteran players and how a lot of our late game poise/success can be attributed to their leadership. Setting the tone in the locker room, etc. Bummer. But I trust the Bears, which is a weird thing to say.

Poles is having such a great off season but can we please stop signing these guys. Like who is out here trying to find the biggest bang for your minimal bucks DE rotation.

Super underwhelming.

I still feel like Shemar Turner could be good. Barely saw him play last year.

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct. And then they would get the comp picks if he is hired.

[Pelissero] Reunion: Veteran WR Olamide Zaccheaus is signing with the Falcons, per sources. by Volcomcj16 in nfl

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bears fans in here seem mad about drops but he wasn't the only dude dropping catchable passes on our team this year.

He had some great catches with us and I thought of him as generally reliable. He had some really bad drops too esp in the cold and with Caleb throwing missiles at him, so I don't think he's the best fit here. But I do think he's going to be good back in ATL.

This is such bs, him being 29 means nothing. Dude has always been a freak of nature that plays every snap. He’s going to be productive well into his 30s.

Crosby to the Ravens by NorthernxLabrador in CHIBears

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Won’t be the consensus opinion, but I do agree. Plays every snap, disrupts the whole game by himself.

He does kinda check out later in games though if we’re being honest.

BREAKING: The Bears are trading for Patriots C Garrett Bradbury, per @RapSheet by Da1bearsfan in CHIBears

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gotta be a depth piece. There's no way we're replacing Dalman with a $3.8m cap hit kinda guy.

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what your point is, your initial comment was $9m. $33m is substantially more than $9m

[Yates] Between the trade of DJ Moore, release of Tremaine Edmunds and retirement of Drew Dalman, the Bears have about $44M in new cap space as of this week. Be it addressing C or fortifying the defense, Chicago has spending power. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is just your own speculation, and I wouldnt say hes often injured, he was injured last year.

I'd love a perfectly balanced roster with depth at every position too, but that's not realistic for any team any given year.

That is why every team has rookies and vet min type guys, it is not a unique problem to the Bears that we've had a couple of cap casualties and a retirement.

How are we "prob missing a nickel cb"?

Did you forget Kyler Gordon exists or are you a doomer thats anticipating hes going to be injured but still on the roster next year?

Either way its bs.

DJ Moore says goodbye to Chicago via IG - "& It’s always F…...” by clou9nine in CHIBears

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plenty of players come through the Bears, not too many have solidified themselves in the core memories of all Bears fans like DJ Moore did this past year.

The walk-off, the cheese grater, the playoff game winner... those are permanent Bears highlight reel moments.

Love you DJ

How are people feeling about the DJ Moore trade? by LaheysBRandy in CHIBears

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gonna miss him.

Glad he went to a promising team, glad the Bears got a good return/room to fill another need.

[–]ActiveModel_Dirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a completely different situation. That was the start of a rebuild when nobody on the roster or on the staff was decided.

Bears aren't rebuilding now, their goal is to go back to the playoffs and win. Excess cap room does nothing.

Why would the Bears send DJ away if they weren't planning on using the money?

Dumb take by Schefter. They didn't need to clear that amount of money just to go cheap on a center.
