why do u have a bears avy
Because Fuck Clark Hunt for trading Marcus Peters is why.

Yeah, I am super salty and will only get saltier every time I see the Chiefs give up tons of points.

I also happen to share a birthday with Butkus and I know Bears fans :noidea:

So yeah, adopting the Bears on the NFC side: Gonna help me avoid high blood pressure.

I don't think that's going to help

Ehhhh, I'm used to being whacked in the face pretty hard as a fan. I am pretty much invincible as long as the nonsense is on-field nonsense.

Would a tie irritate the hell out of you? It does to me, so I'm curious.

hes going top 5

Ed Oliver has been more productive than just about all of those guys unless my brain just short circuited just now.

Once Oliver hits the combine, barring injury, he'll be in the Garrett/Clowney zone as far as draft status or close.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be the 1st or 2nd defensive player drafted, I just don't think he will because of the want for top tier, P5 guys in the draft. They will probably choose a DE from Bama over a DE from Vanderbilt. They will draft a WR from Clemson over a WR from Syracuse. NFL scouts look at the competition these guys have played and 9 times out of 10, they will draft based on whether how you've played against tough competition. Unfortunately, with a top defensive stud from Ohio State likely being eligible for the draft, a better guy from a smaller school and plays lower caliber competition will be seen as the inferior.

I mean look at Kansas City right now. They best players in their team are either from non P5 teams or lower tier P5 teams. Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. West Alabama, Toledo, Texas Tech and Cincinnati. Either these coaches can really bring out the talent in these guys or these NFL scouts suck absolute dick at their jobs and should spend more time on the smaller schools. I mean, look at Tarik Cohen. Backup RB and punt/kick returner for the Chicago Bears. Last year, he became 1 of only 2 rookies in over 50 years to score a rushing, passing, receiving and punt return TD in the same season. Where did he go to school? North Carolina A&T, a small FCS school who doesn't get any attention, who have won 2 out of the last 3 national championships, went undefeated last year, but also who didn't have a player drafted before Cohen since 2005, but have now had a player drafted in two straight drafts. I think the act of drafting outside of the P5 conference is coming around, but it's still not where it should be.

Seattle's O-Line is the real deal and quite possibly the best up and coming unit in the league!

We learned that the Patriot's last two SB wins have totally sapped the energy out of the haters. In years past, a shitty performance like yesterday would have garnered a couple of celebratory threads.


I think its more kind of expected as the Pat's are short handed this year. If it was not expected to happen and they lost like they did there may have been more threads about it.

Perhaps that's a partial explanation but there's no denying that their post deflate-gate success has sapped a LOT of energy from Patriot haters.

I really don't understand what there is to deny by anybody who's been around this board for the past 5 years.
