OT: Bears & NFL Talk 99 (also 2024 NFL Draft GDT)

[No Fun Shogun]

Both teams will be rusty as is par for the course for the modern NFL early in the season, but the upward trending Bears should be favorites versus the substantially downward trending Titans even recognizing that this is Williams's first actual pro start.

Listening to a couple of Monday media sessions from Callahan, the Bears defense worries him a fair bit. He also isn't sure what kind of team he has or how well they'll work together in their first game; especially concerned about the Titan secondary. His main message to Levis is to take care of the ball. New HC with 23 new bodies on the 53 man roster from last year. Lots of different pieces that need to come together.

Of the ~25 defense players:
1 returning D-lineman (J Simmons); 3-4 new
6 returning LBs; 6 new
3 returning DBs; 7 new

Is it Sunday yet?

Pat Surtain just got more guarantees over 4 years than JJ did in total. $5M per year.

I think the Johnson contract will age really well, barring escalating shoulder issues.

Not sure Hard Knocks is my type of show, but I thought this passing montage was really well made.

I’m so pumped. Hockey right around the corner too. Best time to be a sports fan.

That was the worst national anthem I’ve ever heard. Wow. Her pitch was all over the place. Eek

Dude it was pretty awful

Man. Lamar looks like Kevin Durant. Dude is skinny as hell now

That was fun to see Baltimore march down the field on KC

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Man. No defense being played tonite

Chiefs D has settled down after opening drive and forced fumble

And JuJu with awful drop

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Neither team can catch the ball.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

What a f***ing ending. Great game.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Worse than this?

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Worse than this?

Forgot about that one. But…she checked herself into rehab right after!

Mahomes to Worthy is guaranteed to end the Bills in the playoffs this year and everyone will do an "I told you so" to the idiot brass in Buffalo.

Who trades a first round pick to your own barrier?

There is a reason why teams don't win 3 in a row. I think K.C. falls short of a three peat.

Kansas City very well might not win it all this year, but Buffalo definitely isn't and they are likely getting beat by their boogeyman again.

 

[Ben Grimm]

I'm glad the Eagles game is only on Peacock. Fans of their opponent can suck it.

 

[clydesdale line]

Might be the only time I ever root for Philly this year. f*** Green Bay.

 

[TLEH]

Fields is starting on Sunday.

To be fair, I did not say Buffalo would beat them. My guess it would be Cincinnati who beats K.C.

Jordan Love injury. People think ankle, but you can see that knee ripple that would mean the end of the Packers season.
