2025...let's get after it! I'm already drinking the Kool-Aid after yesterday's presser.

Thank you! And that's the last Ill post about that. I made mention last year, when I was accused of hiding,. And yet some lowlifes still want to throw it in my face.

I am calling my shot. Caleb over 4,000 yards passing and over 30 TDs in year 2. Both smashing team records.

If the kid could put up over 4,000 yards of offense as a rookie. Between a swiss cheese line, 2 different HC and 3 different OCs. I cant even image what he can do with some stability.

Cool, now we can move on to another offseason of Bears expectations that will go unfulfilled once the actual games begin.

Like being favored to win the Super Bowl, have your fans run their mouths all year. And get smacked down, at home, by a rookie QB? Expectations like those?

As I said, no better time to be a Bears fan than the off-season! Pure fantasy reigns supreme!

In division news.

Lions lose OC Ben Johnson to Chicago. Early plans to replace him in Detroit looked like OL Coach Hank Fraley.

Hank Fraley might be in line for the Seahawks OC opening. And just did his second interview for that gig.

If Fraley bails, it seems like the Lions will lean on their passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand. Engstrand is now rumored to be joining Ben Johnson in Chicago as their OC.

If Engstrand bails, the Lions might have to give a look at quarterback coach Mark Brunell to be their OC. But he too is rumored to follow Ben to Chicago.

Lions are going to have to give the gig to their water boy soon, if this all plays out.

Was hoping to replace from within. After seeing the Defensive Line Coach be given the Coordinator job with the Pats under Vrabel, makes that impossible. You would think that many talented Coordinator prospects would enjoy being on Campbell’s staff. That might be a incentive that Dan takes the onus for allowing his coaches to open up the playbook like no other coach has ever done.

If their water boy is Bobby Boucher, things just got a lot more painful for the rest of the NFCC...

Lions picked up TB DL coach. Nice add.

Grid - chill, bro. You got your guy. Lions will be just fine.

Highly selective and skewed reporting. You're like a kid running with scissors in this thread.

Edit - what was up with McCaskey's weird comment re: Joe Buck?

First you write beautifully.

Secondly, I agree with everything you said.

hairysasquatch · 01-23-2025, 05:35 PM

If Fraley leaves it will be to Seattle for OC job.

Johnson has said he's not raiding the Lions staff.

Has Chicago closed the deal for Dennis Allen?? (INSERT INSINCERE CONCERNED EXPRESSION)

Also looking on the bright side for the Lions are the two compensatory 3rd round picks for losing Glenn to the Jets.

Hope he can turn around that awful franchise. Tough task

It's a shame to see... in terms of overall team player talent, they are tops in the league or very very close.

Imagine your team getting swept by the person being trashed in this manner.

Congrats to Ben Johnson for winning Coach of the Year! I didn't actually read the article. I assume the honor is being bestowed ahead of the 2025 season. They just wanted to get a jump on things.

To be fair. Does anyone like Joe Buck? It cant just be GMac. He just had the balls to say it out loud.

Well deserved. Any coach willing to take the job of dumpster fire operator deserves an award.

Ouch. You too with this Bears hate? I don't even know what team you have in this thread. LMK, so I can respond properly.

I always just assumed you posted in these things, due to boredom.
