I called him the white Lovie Smith. You didn’t read the responses. It was not good.
And you'll also see people in on the HITS principle, which is all I said, that we underestimate that there were actually CCS'ers who bought the dumbass HITS shit hook, line & sinker.

People seem to forget how much some folks at CCS loved the HITS principle initially.

"That's exactly what this team needs! MOAR GRIT!!"

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
BJ also kept mentioning how the Bears worried him when he faced us --- BECAUSE OF THE TALENT ON OUR DEFENSE. I was working/multi-tasking as I always do but I believe he also went as far as to say, quote, "we worried him more than any team in our division because of our talent". Not because of Caleb, like the media wanted to portray today. He also said that we drafted well and that this roster IS FULL OF TREMENDOUS TALENT.

I kept telling everybody on this board that it was the coaching.... that coaching was the problem and not the guys Ryan Poles assembled. Coaches have to get the most out of their guys. Our coaches were not doing that.

This was great to hear. Should be a fun season coming up!
You missed some more insight since you were working/multi-tasking, I guess. He explicitly stated that the league is QB driven. That the greatest indicator of team success is QB play, above even turnovers.

You also must have missed the huge grin he got when he said "having a QB helps", when asked about how big of an impact having Caleb was in choosing his head coaching destination.

What you're referencing his why he felt going into the 2024 season that the Bears were so dangerous. He talked about the way the defense played the Lions, instead of a rookie QB.

It should be an obvious conclusion to know that Caleb was one of the main, if not the main reason he chose to come to Chicago, even before this press conference. It's very clear BJ had the Bears far above any other option. Unless you just don't want it to be the case, it's obvious Caleb was a huge factor.

He loves how Caleb is capable of pretty high level improvisation, and that really fits in nicely with his trickery in playcalling. It will be fun to watch what he can do with a more talented qb even without the experience and wisdom that Goff might have...

I think I heard him say he wants a defense that stops the other team from scoring a lot of points unlike the team he just came from that couldn't stop Washington (the football team, not me).

Dang gurls fingers are HUSKY

It was fingers like that, sans the nail polish, that made me such a good part time freelance gynecologist. Well, that and my ability to think outside of the box as well as inside one.

Sheeit, Morpheus is as bad-ass of a movie character as there ever was. I tried dressing as Gandalf once and people just thought I was homeless.

Late-90s Lawrence Fishburn was a bad mofo. Side note, Lawrence Fishburn's first movie appearance was as an extra in the late 70s basketball flick Fast Break.
And Apocalypse Now at that same time.
