Do you not remember what this team did in last qualifier in what was essentially a play-in game?

Odell Beckham has played himself into some money. He has looked quite good since going to Rams.

Was that Javon Wimms playing DB for the niners right there. That was the easiest Pick you will ever get and be completely whiffed on it. Now Rams about to score.

And people thought Shanny was a bad coach earlier this year. They have awful qb play and still within a quarter of going to Super Bowl.

If they end up in the 4 seed…they will probably choke in the play in game.

Kind of slightly bummed Bears didn’t do this. They had to have had the ability to pull him. Either way me complaining does no good. Let’s go Poles/Flus. Most importantly - Fields - I hope you are putting in a ton of work this offseason and take things next level next year!!!

Wait - Harbaugh went to Miami?

No Pep - he is staying put but some Smoke Brady might be headed to Bears as QB coach. (Joe Brady not Tom). I want Callahan a lot as oline coach.

Now go get me Pep or someone else real good to help with Fields. I was once excited that the Bears hired Terry O’Shea so hopefully this isn’t that equivalent but it seems like people think he is a super bright offensive mind.

This move has me super excited. Tremendous hire and great to see they are adding to the front office.

This - they could have had literally the same content but if they did it in a better order we all would have enjoyed it better. Like you I liked the backstory but when it was broke down into so many small pieces it just got annoying.

Vuc played trash defense as did the others. Pathetic overall defensive performance and real bad coaching not adjusting to that torching. Just a hard game to watch. Better clean that up. With that said - if they hit more of their wide open 3s they win that game. But three straight games with weak 2nd halves.

Alright - lets keep the streak alive with a 3rd straight win, in this case on the road.

I would like that move very much. They did hire a db coach and lb coach from Colts (not sure on what their roles will be on Bears staff).

I like Gary Kubiaks son. Presume he is out in Minny with the change but I thought he did a nice job as OC last year. Cousins had a pretty darn good year. If he is half as good as his dad he will be a good one and I love zone blocking / shanny running style.

Pep being involved in this is the one thing that gets me excited - and to your point - if he really just loves working with young QB's - that would be great. I have assumed he may want to move into an OC role and be able to show case that (but maybe to your point that isn't actually what he is interested in).

Yeah - I'm not worried about defense - but in particular - you get a bunch of smart people and one who hasn't led a full offense - and do you end up with chaos, egos and other stuff. I don't know - just something to watch for.

The one thing I will say is - it seems odd to have green / first time OC's coming in when you have a defensive based HC. I would have expected an OC who had been there. Don't get me wrong - seems like bright individuals - but they are just so green and if you get too many smart minds and a green chief (as OC) - will you end up with the cohesion needed.

I don't remember this - but it could be true - I know there were some buffet tables flipped by KW from time to time in the clubhouse. Or I think it was KW that did that.

Seems like they are trying to get this guy for OC and Pep for passing game coordinator/QB coach.

I am hoping that more than Poles is doing the interview.

Just get Doug Pederson and keep DeFillipo. Pederson is a super nice dude by all accounts and know how to run an offense and design them around his QB. He knows Filipo well from his previous time and I like there chances of helping Fields.

One could only hope. That or I hope he spent a lot of time perfecting his game. Dear lord was he bad in the booth.

Yeah - not that position necessarily correlates to vision - but both of these guys understand the importance of the trenches (and I think there organizations also have shown that knack - Eagles and Chiefs have invested heavily in the line; just look at how he Chiefs retooled between last year and this year after Mahome's got hit too much in the Super Bowl). The quote from Pioli is pretty exciting. Honestly - I am pretty stoked about Poles.

Yeah - I assume all new defensive staff. Offense will be interesting though. Maybe Doug Pederson comes to run the offense. I keep throwing out names haha. I'm sure even with 20 names thrown out as potential OC's I will be wrong and it will be a name I didn't include.
