How about dem Bears. Had a nice £28 bet builder come in for this one, we needed a performance like this. Hopefully we can kick on and have some more performances like this. Not expecting a lot from this seaosn but if we can show some more performances like this then it gives me some hope we could get back to be competitive in our division.

A terrible shut out defeat to a sub par New Orleans team is indicative of the problems this franchise now face.

Wouldn't surprise me to see McDaniel's days numbered here.

Tyreek Hill is just amazing.

My fantasy team would like to know how Adams only managed 3 yards?

Yeah, team stank today, mate

Some interesting trades on deadline day. Happy that the Vikings have upgraded their receiver corps and solved their Tight End issue with the Hockenson trade, but the headline deals have to be Bradley Chubb to Miami and Roquan Smith to Baltimore.

Good moves by the Steelers - unusual for them. Getting a high 2nd round pick for Claypool with one year remaining is good for the rebuild, and the late round pick swap for Jackson at least gives them some options at CB.

Frustrating season but at least they now have 3 picks likely in the top 45 to rebuild that putrid offensive line...

 

[Kingellesar]

Happy to get Claypool, gives Fields an option down field now. Still got plenty of picks for the draft as well. And a ton of cap space....

Been confirmed that the Packers also wanted Claypool so that’s definitely a win for the Bears. Fields has looked a lot better in the last few weeks. The Claypool trade together with the Roquan Smith trade indicates Chicago are going to rip up the defence but are ready to build around Fields on offence.

 

[Kingellesar]

Yeah, plus Roquan wanted money that we wouldn’t be offering a LB. So the trade has worked out ok for now.

People forget we are desperate for some WRs who can catch the damn ball, he might not be top 5 WRs in the league but he is a lot better than what we got and it gives him and Fields half a season to get something going. Ready for next season.

Made punting a dedicated specialist position and made teams realize the value of punting in setting up good field position.

Miami got away with one there.

Raiders - shitty. Time to remove Mcdaniels and his coaches. But who the hell could come in as an interim HC…or would even want to lol.

Bears fan but happy with the result. Feel like this season is over for us but if we can get the offense clicking ready for next season whilst tanking to get a higher draft pick I am all in.

Fields really turned up today.

I bet you felt the same as me as soon as we kicked off the second half only for the Jags to make a 52 yard return that we were going to capitulate.

As much as you feel it's uphill now for McDaniels, I really wish Davis would sell - alas that won't happen anytime soon and I fear it's another season of disappointment looming large with little sign of improvement.

I thought the team might go on a run and a grab a few wins. But after the last 2 games I think they'll be lucky to get 1 or 2 more wins before the season finishes. Carr's regressing, coach and coaches not cutting it, some players either can't do it or won't do it. I'm laughing at times but it's ultimately just disappointing. Starting to think McDaniels is the NFL's Tim Sherwood.

You look at the squad on paper and it's surely better than 2-6 so does indicate the players not buying into McDaniel's coaching and/or poorly executed plays.

There seems to be too much baggage with Carr now for us to progress and feel for both parties a split is due - we look to the future in perhaps drafting one of CJ Stroud or Young and hopefully Carr can land at a great spot where who knows, he can flourish and reach his potential.

 

[VegasII]

Haha Colts fire Frank Reich and put ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday in as interim coach. Never coached before.

His first game? vs Raiders in Vegas. Getting Zagreb vibes here

That was hilariously bad.
