Seattle has played in Detroit in 2022, 2023 and 2024. It's a standardized formula of where teams play. There's a standard cycle against divisions as every 3 years you rotate between South, East, West and swap home/away each cycle. Then there is the placement schedules of 1st vs 1st in the 2 other divisions. Strange how it can be 3 straight but must be that NFC North vs NFC East just the matchup of placements ended up being that way. Like it's probably, one year it's taking East 1st & 3rd place that gets home, then the next year it's the East 2nd and 4th that gets home vs the North.

It is nonsense. It should should always rotate. This years matchup should have been played in Chicago.
 
Should have been fired last year on Jan 10th. We all said it. Now they've made the mistake they shouldn't have made. They got almost everything else right. Too bad the HC is so important. They have to right the wrong this offseason.

It’s a set rotation for division matchups. Every 6 years minimum you would host an NFC opponent. As for the seeding matchups of 1 vs 1 through to 4 vs 4 that’s also some set formula. Like the year after you play the East the 1/3 seed in East gets home field. And the year before you play the East the 2/4 seed gets home field. Or something like that. Just happens that the seeding ended up like that for Chi and Was and for Det and Sea.

SF and Sea were the 1/3 seed in west in 2023 and hosted the East Dal and NyG this season. Last season the west and east played. In 2021 season Seattle was the 4 seed. They hosted NyG in 2022. Thus in 2022 the 2/4 seeds in west were the home teams. So it does rotate. Just a matter of where the clubs land the prior year seeding wise. The nfl doesn’t adjust it because the clubs met the prior year at the same place due to seeding.

Well, I mean we can still sign him after this year anyway. It's not like the Bears were ever going to fire Flus with a year on his contract and pay two coaches. When is the last time they actually did that?

They've fired coaches with a year left before. Nagy for example. The Bears are cheap but they do fire coaches when they should. I think the only coach they ever fired with two left was Trestman.

I think Warren/Poles chose to keep Flus. That was a mistake.

Given the list of potential openings.
Jets, Dolphins, Jags, browns, bengals, Raiders, bears, cowboys, Giants, Saints.

Currently who is the Bears biggest completion for Johnson? Most talented is Caleb. Burrow is experienced and established. But Cincy has cheap ownership. HC don’t want to deal with moody players and contracts.

Lawrence has the talent but if Pederson can’t work out with him who can?

Dak is solid but the money he got, darn….

The rest lack a QB. Unless they are in position to draft a QB not really great landing spots.
 
Bears were clearly the number one destination. An extremely talented QB prospect. Other solid pieces. Great cap situation. I mean its the ideal of the ideal. What a colossal mistake it was to keep him. Like we all said.

Yes absolutely they can still fire him and get Ben Johnson this offseason. Wasting a year is silly. You only have so many seasons where your QB is cheap and good.

I hate that Caleb will once again have to feel the wrath of the Bears once again pulling a Bears and relearning an entirely different system, essentially wasting his rookie year but Ben Johnson is a guy you hire and don't look back.

Hell, if Poles wants to soften the blow some, at least seriously look at Kliff Kingsbury since Caleb has been in his system for years in college.

But it's a mistake they can rectify this offseason, especially if the Bears struggle down the stretch.
 
I wouldn't say Caleb's rookie year is being wasted given how much progress he's made week over week, prior to the Washington game at least.

They can rectify it, but it was an obvious miss. Misses you don’t foresee? Sure. Misses that are obvious are the problem. And like I said wasting a rookie deal year of Caleb is dumb. This team is good.

I agree. But once Poles pull the trigger and fire Flus, his first hire, then the clock starts sticking on him.
