We have entered possibly the most tedious part of the NFL season. There are no interesting free agent signings, no new film to watch, and nothing to get us excited about the upcoming season. So what better way to pass the time than to look ahead at some of the potential storylines for the 2022 Bears training camp. There …

With low expectations already locked in for this Bears season, let’s look again to the future. The Bears have long been a franchise pressed up against the cap, largely unable to assert themselves as major players in Free Agency. This is not going to be true for the 2023 season. We are currently projected to have $88 million- and that’s …

In 2022, NFL teams will have the option to include an additional alternate helmet in their uniform schedules. The Falcons and Saints have announced flashy new lids, and more are sure to come. The previous one-helmet rule was in place for safety reasons, supposedly to ensure players are fitted once rather than switching out for different headgear (though college teams …

  Here we are. Mandatory Minicamp has just concluded; Free Agency and the Draft are in the rear-view mirror, and we look ahead to the start of the 2022 training camp. There are plenty of questions and concerns about this year’s roster. It’s the first year of the Poles/Eberflus era, and there has been plenty of turnover. Key players from …

A couple notes on Madden ratings. Madden likes to keep players fairly close to where they finished the regular season the year before- very few offseason events will alter a player’s rating drastically. That said, they do use the offseason time to account for overcorrections, age regressions, opportunity, and situation. They use these player ratings to create team ratings and …

Two weeks ago I wrote up a projection of the Bears season, predicting a 7-10 finish. Afterwards, I was thinking; why not project the whole league- so I did, using nothing but my own opinions. Then I saw the website I was using produced a draft order and I knew what my next article was going to be- a Too …

I admittedly did not like the second round of the Bears draft. The Bears had three major weaknesses going into draft day. In order, they were Offensive Line, Wide Receiver, and the secondary. The Bears opted to focus entirely on their secondary. That’s life- I’m not in the room with Ryan Poles. This just seems to be the price of …

If there’s one thing that makes Lucas Patrick stand out, it’s his giant dolphin dome VICIS helmet; it is just too obscure to ignore. Look deeper, and you’ll find plenty to appreciate in this win-win addition to the Chicago Bears. First and foremost, Patrick has the potential to upgrade the entire offensive line through his attitude and leadership. Coming from …

Bears Targets, Day 2 Bears should be able to snag at least two of these guys at 39 and 48, if not another at 71. Pickens still being on the board makes him the clear and obvious main target; if he makes it 6 more picks, Poles should sprint that card in. Otherwise, you know the drill: build the line …

Intro It’s draft season baby! The NFL draft is next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and even though I will be moving at that time I will be watching as much as I can. I have spent a lot of my down time in the last 6 months watching film and reading scouting reports for over 400 draft prospects (information I’ve …
