Ball security is extremely important.....its not the be all end all, but in the grand scheme of things less turnovers is better...

All but one team in the playoffs had a positive ratio....

There is a lot that goes into it, but its really important.

So…..someone suggests we talk about pizza, and you come back with Pizza Hut?? C’mon, man!
TBF, when I was a kid it was like royalty. But it is a crappy pizza.

I give credit where it's due, but Ryan Poles is still the GM.

Not firing Ryan Poles was a horrible move. Failing to fire Matt Eberflus last year was a mistake.

Ryan Poles is completely overwhelmed as an evaluator. He's a bottom 10 GM in this league.

Doing the easy thing is what we are all capable of doing. Firing Waldron and Eberflus that's easy. Drafting Caleb Williams? That's easy.

We can all do the easy thing.

I'm happy they didn't shit down their leg. I'm more concerned about how they get a competent offensive line within the next two years.
I thought we had known at this point that not firing Eberflus was not Poles’ decision. Not only that but Poles actually wanted to fire him and was not allowed to. Is that not true? Poles is catching a lot of shit for not firing the guy he wanted to fire.

Poles catching shit for everything.

You can't go into week 1 of the regular season with one legitimate defensive tackle in Billings.

You can draft Velus and then keep him as some sort of I told you so stunt for HBO.

Can't keep Nate Davis as long as he did. Can't constantly ignore the offensive line.

Even bad pizza is still pretty good. And, I love it all. Shit-ass rectangle pizza from waaaay back in school. Any of several frozen varieties. Deep dish that’s more like lasagna than pizza. Thin cracker type crust. As authentic as you can get here Italian wood-fired. Put it all in me

I used to work at Pizza Hut to get through college. We called ourselves pizza sluts. Even after 5 years of working there and bringing pizza home most nights, it still tastes good to me (except their hand tossed, that crust just sucks at Pizza Hut).
Low key always loved PH and miss it to this day. The cups, the salad bar, the games, the lunch buffet in high school for $5!

I'm not really a fan of Rosati's but their buffet in Schaumburg was actually awesome

also I think we need to give the Bears some credit for firing Eberflus when they did. they kept Wannstedt for 6 seasons and Jauron for 5.

Fun fact....Jauron was HC in the NFL for 10 years and had 9 losing seasons. That's tough to do.

My first job was at a CiCi’s pizza. That was some gross paper thin pizza. It was like wax paper with ketchup on it. Their dessert pizzas were good though.

In high school, I did pizza delivery for a place called Mazzio's in bumfuck Egypt. Most days, I would give a ride to a fellow pizza delivery dude who... didn't have a car. Never figured that one out but he always rolled enormous blunts

If you’re really up for an adventure there’s still at least one original Pizza Hut restaurant in business. It’s in IL, east of St Louis somewhere. We were stranded in FL two Christmas’ ago because of the goddamned Southwest Airlines fuckabout and ended up having to rent a car and fucking drive back to CO. We needed to stop for dinner one of our nights in the road and our kids wanted pizza. It was very very surreal walking inside and seeing everything just as I remembered

I think the one I went to had Arkanoid, which was crazy difficult for kids. It was like Eberflus-trying to figure out when to use a timeout- level of difficulty.

Everyone we need to thank the OP for starting a thread about pizza
