Love me some cold cement.

Hopefully he can stabilize the TD numbers with the addition of multiple extra weapons!

Edit: Also never realized how tall stacy is.
Pro tip…

Don’t challenge her to play HORSE or one-on-one…

I'm going to go ahead and offer that if we combined the two divisions, it would go:

Philly
Dallas
Minnesota
Detroit
NYG
Chicago
Washington
GB
I think Minnesota has some massive regression on the horizon. That defense was terrible last season. The Giants embarrassed them in the playoffs.

My guess is:

Eagles
Dallas
Detroit
NYG
Bears
Vikings
Washington
GB

Doubt the Claypool trade will have any ongoing affect on Poles. He is very firm in his belief of following a plan that has previously been laid without emotion. It's really kinda smart. Make a plan without emotion and then stick to that plan in the heat of the moment.

Claypool seems to be the exception, where Poles may have deviated due to pressure and need. But that also presumes he knew that the Bears would be picking top 1-3, which he clearly didn't.

The Bears were 3-5 and tied for 20th in the NFL and 2nd in the NFC North entering week 9, the week they acquired Claypool. So even if you figure the Bears would finish around 8-10 in draft order, it wasn't a huge overpay at the time. No one wants to remember that, they just want to ***** about no.32, the pseudo 1st rnd pick, Waaaaaahhhhh.

Thing is no one really will know if that trade was good, bad , or indifferent until at least after this season. Everything else is just worthless noise and bitchy chicken littles or Bear goggles homers at this point.
I knew the Bears would be picking top 5 at the time we made the Claypool trade. All you had to do was watch the games and know just how bad this roster was to see it coming. I always said i would of been fine if we trade the Balt pick but not our pick.

Recency Bias.

99% of CCS was cunting that we dont have a WR and were happy when we got Claypool.

He might end up sucking balls for us, but I don't think it was a terrible mistake compared to the shit many GM's do in the league. He needed to get fields help because VJJ was a bum
So other GM's make bad trades so it's okay if ours does? Got it.

Where did I say it was okay?

If trading #32 for claypool is the biggest mistake Poles does, this franchise will be just fine. I don't expect him to be perfect.

Maybe you do, but thats because you clearly have brane damage from arguing with Anytime for years.
