Chicago Bears/NFL fans? What should they do?

Lifelong Bears fan here.

Trade Fields and draft Williams or Maye?

Keep Fields and draft Harrison Jr?

Keep Fields and trade top pick?

I think they're close to being a good to really good football team. And I think Fields can lead a playoff/Superbowl level team, if he has the right team and right approach around him. So I'd keep Fields if I were Poles. I think Poles deserves more time, by the way. He did a great job with last year's number 1 pick decision. And I think has built this team fairly well around Fields, to this point. Eberflus? Ehh, not sure on him. They've blown a number of leads late in games. I wouldn't be suprised if Poles stays, and Eberflus goes.

I think what they do with the number 1 pick then, depends on how the draft order ends up shaking out.

Marvin Harrison Jr is a can't miss elite WR. So a case could be made to draft him at 1. But I wouldn't do that. Fields is likely never going to be a guy that effectively spreads the ball around evenly to all receivers. They have an elite receiver already. And Mooney is a decent supporting receiver. I'm not sure you'd get the value out of both Moore and Harrison, with Fields as the QB. And I'm not sure they should push to play that way with Fields.

Assuming both the 2nd and 3rd picks are teams that will be needing QBs. Giants, Commanders, Patriots, Titans...maybe even the Cardinals. THEN, I think you smoke screen like they did last year by fully evaluating Williams and Maye. And then right before the draft, similar to last year, you trade the pick to the team picking 3rd (assuming the haul back is huge). Recent NFL exec polls indicate they'd get back at least what they got for last year's top pick, even if it were a trade with a fellow top 5 pick team...which is unheard of.

THEN...I'd seek out any teams that might be clamoring for Harrison Jr...Chargers and Jets are great candidates here I would think...and I'd trade that pick again...

If you could come out of it with the 7th or 8th pick, the 10th ish pick, AND some more future first and second rounders...I think that'd be a huge win. Use those early first round picks on best available OL, DL, secondary guys.

Or...Draft Williams and Trade Fields. Use the cap space to give Williams as good an offensive line as possible, and hopefully find him a couple good veteran receivers.

Thoughts? And apologies no pictures of any chicks in Bears apparel...

We are gonna play hard.

Everyone keeps banging on woody. One thing his teams have done, that Archie’s and some of creans did not, is play hard all year long. Archie’s teams legit quit every year. Watching Romeo and co in TOs made me wanna murder someone. No passion, no heart. That shit drives me nuts. When I care more than you it’s a problem.

Every woody team will die for him. I mean watching Kanaan play d like that vs sisters of the poor made me way more excited than it should have. He was all in already, great to see.

Woody is not gonna have some great new offense this year, small wrinkles will be all he adds. To expect more is setting yourself up for disappointment. What we can count on is this team giving max effort throughout the year. Will take some time to gel, but should be playing its best ball sometime in 25’.

Everyone on the planet says we have the most talent on paper. We get that talent to play harder then everyone else, that’s gonna put us in a good position no matter if we are out schemed on the sideline.

Go Hoosiers let’s mess around this year and do some damage.

My wife

She likes going to games with me but she not the fanatic that I am….until this year.
I’m retired and I’m in a dead sleep at 7:30 this morning while she is getting ready for work.
She pokes me and asked me who Penn St plays this weekend we really need them to lose another game.
I said they play Purdue and she said well they wont be any help😂

Assault and batter question (since there are so many dang lawyers here)

Is there a "crime" that address's fault to that little pissed off "Karen" (the little bantam chicken I like to call them) that just keep chasing you and yelling and agitating you, trying to invoke a response? I know when you do respond it's Battery, but what about the agitator that just wouldn't let it go?
Is all of the responsibility of walking away in the hands of the person who slapped the shit out of her? (before the slap the shit out of part, is the question)

B1G Semi

When Indiana travels to Columbus in t-minus 12 days it will essentially be a Big Ten Semifinal game. More than likely the winner will face Oregon in the B1G Championship in Indianapolis because I don't see Oregon losing.

If Ohio State wins they have the tie-breaker with Penn State. If Indiana wins Oregon and Indiana will likely meet with both teams undefeated. (I very rarely say this about a Big Ten Game but Indiana isn't losing to Purdue.) If it's Hoosiers vs Ducks they will meet as either Nos. 1 and 2 or 1 and 3.

So in this sense there is a lot at stake.

In another sense IU will be playing with house money. I say this because regardless of what happens I think Indiana has done enough already to make the College Football Playoff. (If they get absolutely thumped like 59-0 by the Bucknuts then maybe not but that's not going to happen.) So it's not all or nothing at the Shoe. You play to win obviously but even if it doesn't go your way you're still in the running for the Natty (at least that's my opinion).

Trust the process and treat the Bucknuts like every other team this year. Be confident, play loose, and take a nice healthy swing at it! Enjoy the moment, you've earned it!

Ohio State sucks and so does Purdue!

Friday Funnies

The plane has just taken off and the captain is welcoming the passengers aboard, giving them the usual flight information, when suddenly he shouts, "OH, MY GOD!" and the plane shudders violently. After a few seconds he comes back on and says, "Ladies and gentlemen, I must apologise for that. The stewardess accidentally dropped my cup of coffee into my lap and I was startled. You should see the mess on the front of my trousers!"

And one of the passengers shouts, "You should see the mess on the back of mine!"

@Bucket Getter will have to fill us in on the price to live that suite life for one more game. I'll put a guess at $8k for a suite.

Lot parking - $75
RV parking - $250

EDIT: I'll revise my guess on the suite price after further reflection. Now I'll say $12k
