pf9 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The fact that it took 17 weeks for the Bears to get eliminated is very concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I bet the Bears will think a receiver is the solution to all their problems first overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Will the Bears Handle Their Franchise-Defining Moment? If I'm Chicago this is how I view my options: (1) Trade #1 pick for a similar ransom as last year (2) Take Williams or Maye if you think they're studly, sit them for a year, evaluate both Fields and rookie in 2024. Give rookie occasional series/playing time. If they look the part, trade Fields before 2025. (3) There is no option 3. It would be a total laughingstock if they take a non-QB at #1 in the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least likely outcome I think though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not surprise me at all to see them trade back a few spots to collect some picks and still land Harrison. That #1 pick will hold some crazy value with this QB class. Pair Harrison with Moore, build up the OL and add a RB. Do that, and CHI is going to be a problem if Fields is anything better than terrible.

pf9 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It is a good thing when the Packers are the only team in their division to get a playoff spot. We don't need any of our rivals crashing the playoff party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've told me option 3 would be trade Fields and Pick Williams. If it's the Bears, they very well might trade Fields and take Maye. Which would be fricking hilarious. Mitch Trubisky over Patrick Mahomes 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re coming off a legendarily terrible 50 years where they went from the original Los Angeles to being nothing. Give them a break. They’re so close to Canada they have a French name.

deltarich87 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 While I think hanging division banners is pretty hilarious, the Lions as a franchise been STARVING for any sort of success, so I get them basking in it. Sports are ultimately a form of entertainment for fans and there hasn't been a whole lot to celebrate if you've grown up being a Lions fan, so when you do have any form of success, go all out and milk it for all its worth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one considers how bad they have been over the years, the number of very high draft picks in every round for 30 years ... they hit on 1 year and I don't mind. It's better than the Vikings for sure and even the Bears. Next year is another year and probably a new division winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
