The lack of fireworks for Free Agency is more of an indictment of the class of available targets than anything else.

I have a sneaking feeling that WR Tim Patrick is a target for the #ChicagoBears if the price is right.

No clue what he's going to cost, but I'm very okay that the Bears did not sign him.

GOD DAMNIT POLES, EXTEND KYLER NOW
The Jaguars are signing Jourdan Lewis, Per The Insiders and Peter Schrager. He becomes the NFL’s highest-paid nickel CB.

In 2026 and 2028, the only message I want to hear from Democrats is this:
Enough.
Enough of working class people being made fools out of by predatory elites.
Enough of demonizing the support structures we have in place to protect every day people.
Enough of Citizens United and the rigged game.

Sometimes, you just need to really dig in and use science to make a decision this big.

#DaBears will soon hire yet another head coach. To help break the wheel of constant turnover, @berckes.bsky.social developed the HALAS Model, which predicts the best possible coaching hire for the #Bears. The results might shock you.

You work around here long enough you start thinking things like, "I've seen every toaster," but you have to remember that life is full of the unexpected.
NEW: The Pop-Tart Bowl trophy is back and better than ever ... it is now a fully functional toaster trophy!
Pop-Tart partnered with GE Appliances to build this one-of-a-kind toaster trophy. It is about 1.3x the size of a normal football + can toast full-size Pop-Tarts.

The 4-3 is a magical system if you have the right DC. Washington is blitz heavy compared to Flus. That difference was easily busted up by a veteran, top 3 play caller in Shanahan.
I'm not saying Wash isn't a potentially good DC, but that defense yesterday felt like it wasn't ready. At all. #Bears

Here's a thought for Chicago Bears consideration:
How much is the right head coach worth in draft capital? Is there a "too much" price to pay for the right person?
FWIW, there are only a handful of these coaches currently out there, and their teams would likely NEVER move them. Yet...

The only saving grace about the HC search for the Chicago Bears is that it's done in January.
This isn't draft season discussion, where we have to wait until late April to know what the hell will happen and spend countless hours trying to will imaginary scenarios into existence.

Hey #Bears fans! Question to start the day: doesn't this Monday morning, following yet another loss, feel distinctly different than the last few? The Bears finally got their Flus Shot and are now resilient to that strain for the rest of the season.

@adamhoge.bsky.social, loved the (second) pod, the only other interim that wasn’t mentioned but could be is Jason Garrett. Similar situation, OC takes over, has report with the QB, team rallies.

The Michigan simple blue cap with the yellow M that the head coaches have been wearing is the cleanest hat in college football.

It’s overdue, but after never firing a coach midseason, late is better than never.
Matt Eberflus always seemed like a good guy. Prototypical nice guy. Preaches effort. Hard nosed kind of football guy. But the results only came against lesser competition. And this roster deserves better.

This news is what broke the BlueSky feed today.
Sources: Bears coach Matt Eberflus has been fired after an ugly loss to Lions, the team’s six in a row.
Chicago now has the NFL’s third head coach opening.

What a great story
I love football because sometimes it takes 24 hours to realize the defense only had 10 guys on the field

Daniel Jones saw Sam Darnold getting all this praise under KOC and wanted in, too.
