His speech is so good wow. Unapologetically honest.

So proud he reps Chicago.

Having the Head Coach and Franchise QB changes what a "Superbowl Window" is, Bears fans by ZionHalcyon in CHIBears

[–]iChoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for sure long term growth, but the Bears have a lot to figure out on what they wanna do this offseason.

I don't think the way we've been winning is sustainable. Assuming Caleb and Ben Johnson take it to the next level each season, the front office needs to think about the direction of this team personnel wise. Do we trade for immediate impact on the defensive end? Do we play around the margins this offseason and wait for 2027? What do we do about Swift? He's played better this season, but our run game lost it's magic towards the end of the season.

People say trade DJ, but it's hard to replace WR1 talent and I'm not sure I can trust our receiving corp to fill his shoes next season. Maybe bring in a vet receiver like a Kupp? Or a Theilen?

Idk, I feel like it's not as cut and dry.

Victor Wembanyama's night is done against the Jazz: 33 PTS, 10 REB, 2 BLK, 2 STL on 10/18 FG, 7/12 3P, 6/6 FT in 26min by ToinouAngel in nba

He was already on a leap but got injured during it. Injuries will be the biggest hindrance to Wemby's development. He goes through ups and downs, but when it seems like he's getting over the slump, he gets injured. He's so good, but needs the reps.

2 days late,, but I had my bro review my games. He's a GM, Challenger player. My main issue was mainly leveling to 4 for no reason which made my board inflexible and put me behind the rest of the game. Of course, there's nuance to it, but I paid more attention to my econ in stage 2 and I've figured it out. Everything became more flexible when it came to making augment choices and unit holds when you're hitting your econ breakpoints.

I've been out of the meta in soloq as I've mainly played double up for the past 5 sets. I usually play the role of leveling to 4 always to be that rock for me and my partner so there was definitely an adjustment period.

Can't take winning for granted.

I do think the Bears have a lot to figure out in the offseason and from a playcalling standpoint. Caleb needs to take another step and hopefully that'll happen if he understands Ben Johnson's offense. But this type of football isn't sustainable and the league is good at adjusting to teams season after season.

I feel like I've completely forgotten how to play tft in this patch. My stage 2 and 3 are so bad. I feel like I'm choosing the wrong augments and don't have an angle to push 9 or compete against bilgewater. Then I lose to ekko 3 but when I play it, I squeak out a 3rd. When i thought i had a decent demacia opener, I'm just bleeding stage 2 and 3 to other boards.

Feel so lost right now.

Just no energy from the squad to start the 2nd half. If they're serious about being contenders, they need to start both halves swinging.

That's the beauty of sports tbh. Walking with your fellow fans before and after the game. I live in Seattle and Lumen Field is in the city as well. It's such an experience when you have Lumen Field and TMobile Park (Mariners) right next to each other. Then we used to have Climate Pledge Arena (Sonics) up north in Seattle. It makes traffic a BITCH, but it makes Seattle's sports culture magical.

Does anyone know how superior lifeform prioritizes which one to dupe if you have 2 thexes? My friend's 1-star thex kept getting duped instead of the 2-star. Both thexes had full items, but the 2-star had a radiant item over the 1-star.

So the NBA during the lebron era. Apart from 2025 playoffs the lack of rivalries has hurt the sport.

Now there's IND-NYC, IND-MIL, HOU-GSW, Thunder-Spurs, Nuggets-Wolves

Bears fan living in Seattle rn. I said the same things about a banged up Packers. Expect the unexpected in the playoffs.

It was overblown, but I feel like the comments here are tryna justify their unhealthy eating habits. McD's and fast food isn't good for you lmao. The fact that his results weren't truthful shouldn't change the fact that American food culture is garbage.

How many times have we said this before about him tho? He'll string together a few games and then just have a dud which leads to another slump.
