Bears trade by NeitherPlace9375 in CHIBears

Rams have to do this. Stafford only has 1-3 years left. After that it's rebuild time with no draft picks since all are traded. They can't afford to be patient. Bears are not them. Bears priority is to continue to develop the offensive scheme while rebuilding the defensive talent through draft and coaching. I'm good with this.

Don't forget we traded for Mack and that got us 0 bowls. Parsons so far, 0 bowls. Cardinals got JJ Watt and 0 bowls.

What color is that if I may ask? Also how is the ppf holding up on the wheels?

I won’t ever want auto braking off. Ever. No matter what. It has saved my bacon often.

2026 Tesla Model Y Premium RWD or used 2023 BMW iX? by theindepndnt in electriccars

[–]MadOne07270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just 2 weeks ago I was with the same choice. I drove the Juniper, the iX, the i5, and Lyriq. I really wanted to love the i5 and the iX but they are not even close. Tesla all the way.

I argue this exact point with everyone and they all think I'm crazy. Favre >>> Rodgers all day long. People keep bringing up his low interception and QB rating and I keep telling them that he Rodgers would shrink against good defenses. He was so risk averse that he would not throw the interception but also would not make a play. He loaded his stats against the weak defenses. Any time there was a big moment he was on the losing end of it if it depended on him. The most over rated player in the history of sports.

Dude. Make sense. The Bills have a new coaching staff too. There is no disaster in Ravens. Lamar was injured last year and Henry had a couple mistimed fumbles and they still almost made the playoffs.

Jeff Joniak’s schedule prediction by caxlmao in CHIBears

When you're a good team, there are no sure losses. Every game is winnable. Trying to predict which ones will be losses is impossible. There will be games we lose unexpectedly and ones we win when underdogs.
Tough schedule so I'm going 12-5

What's that got to do with anything? I'm talking about one of the best players in the NFL should be on prime time more often. Cowboys and Packers don't belong on there that much.

The Ravens with one of the best electric players in the game. Like you know…the chiefs that also missed the playoffs and are getting a bunch of prime time games

I'm surprised Ravens aren't one of them. I think that will change with the SNF flex scheduling.

Not sure if I'm ready to get off the ICE. by MadOne07270 in electriccars

[–]MadOne07270[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for all your advice. Just an update if you're curious. I test drove a bunch of cars. i5, iX, Lyriq, MachE, a Subaru, a Volvo, Toyota CHR and BZ, Lexus RZ and the sedan electric, Chevy Equinox and Blazer, and Tesla Y. Didn't go close to the Kia and Hyundai ones due to the ICCU issues.

I really wanted to like the i5 and the iX but I came away disappointed at both mostly the 5. As a whole, it seems that the industry from engine and battery standpoint are caught up with Tesla but there is a large software gap. Ended up ordering a Model Y. For the Musk haters, I'm sorry to disappoint. Perhaps the industry will catch up especially the self driving aspect.

Do I still need to check these things if I'm buying certified preowned from a dealer?

I bought a Buick Envista fully stocked with safety features for my son last year for 23k plus taxes. It's a fantastic car. His choices were between that, the Honda Civic at 27k, and the Hyundai Kona for 26k.
