    Has there been a game with 0 Frantrums yet? The over seems automatic!

    Yeah, I think the choice of the next DC is critical to keep Jaire engaged. He is going nowhere (maybe the IR) next year due to his contract. But if you bring in a strong leader with an attacking D (hellooooo JL), I think Jaire will be all in. Zimmer came to mind also and could be interesting, but I would be concerned about him relating to the younger players now days. With a 4-3 D, I think we'd have issues with our OLBs and DL matches. Clark and Wyatt would be fine in a 4-3 (maybe preferable for Wyatt). Brooks too. Not sure Slaton or Wooden fit well. Then you have Gary, Ness, and Smith that might fit as a 4-3 DL, but couldn't really flex to be a 4-3 OLB. It can be done, but I think we have good talent for the 3-4 and shouldn't change it now. Plus, I still think the 3-4 fits better against the pass overall.

    Given that I'm in that target crowd... I fully supported the move. The old pound the ground with high D philosophy was find to reach the top 10-20, but near impossible to get much higher. I loathed the Gary Anderson spread offense. That wasn't WI FB nor was it even a successful modern approach (unless you can get that one special QB capable of leading it and then keeping him healthy). Not to mention a REALLY boring football game to watch. But if this offensive balance is what is intended moving forward (having a balance of pass and rush), then yes... I'm fully on board. I think we will have a much better chance of recruiting good QBs and WRs without giving up much on the RB/OL front.

    Happy 2024 everyone! This year represents my transition into my retirement prep phase. For almost 30 years I've mainly focused on growth of my 401k. Last year, I started figuring out my "number" to hit retirement and think I can make it in the next 10 years or so. But I have some unique challenges and goals with some of my kids and want to start figuring out how to prepare for retirement (especially early retirement) now so I have a nice "runway to land the plane." I'm curious about any advice to pick a financial planner. A friend of mine likes Edward Jones. I have an old 401k in Fidelity... Does anyone have a financial planner? What expectations should I have? Or what questions do I ask?

    I'm also for restrictions on how often someone transfers too. Perhaps a scholarship "contract" could help? You need to do 2 years at least? Either for your HS commitment or after a transfer? Or in the event of a coaching change. That should slow down the churn without eliminating it. And get rid of the open transfer portal before the bowl games. Make them wait until after it is ALL done and then deal with next year. With WI/LSU, I swear the second half turned into a discussion about LSU's recruitment and prospects for 2024. Granted, some of that was about the QB... but at some point I was wondering if WI merited any discussion. I think one "partial announcer" was referred to LSU or some part of the team as "his guys"... not sure his connection with the team, but the broadcast was decidedly lopsided in the second half.

    Not to mention that the games where we've played really well on D was against very low end QBs. I think his ability to assemble a defense is now firmly established and that ceiling doesn't crack the top 20 defenses in the league.

    If I hadn't watched the game, I'd be pleasantly surprised at the outcome and closeness of the score. I figured those two LSU WRs were going to run us out of the building. But watching the game it was frustrating to play so well the first half and so poorly the second. As others said, lack of QB pressure seemed to be the main culprit. But stopping the run seemed to be an issue too. But alas, I remind myself that we were major underdogs and did better than expected. I'm happy for Mordecai to put a nice game on the books as he goes into his NFL draft prep. He really has a nice arm and good scrambling. As for Fickle, I think he will be good for the program. All you can really ask of him in year 1 is that the team continues to improve. And the team did that. As he continues to get "his guys" into key spots, we should be able to easily bounce back to our normal #10-20 range... (and do I dare to dream)... perhaps compete higher than that? I think he has good potential to be a top-end coach.... more so than we've had for a long time. Once we got out big yesterday, I think he got caught trying not to lose and became too conservative; both on the 4th down punts (especially the last one) but also simply too many run calls in the second half (3 run plays from 1st and goal without a big RB?). But you also need to give him credit for the 1st half game-plan that worked well.

    Week 17: The Packers beat the Vikings and thus eliminated the Bears from the playoffs. Week 18: If the Packers beat the Bears, the Vikings will be eliminated from the playoffs. Week 19: If the 49ers beat the Rams in Week 18, the Packers would play the Lions in the first round of the playoffs. Thus giving them the chance to eliminate the Bears, Vikings, and Lions in back-to-back-to-back weeks. Now you know how to cheer this week. 😉

    Nice to see MLF and Love clicking on the plays. Reed continues to look impressive. Welcome Bo Melton - passing up Heath and Toure on the team... played better than Doubs too. Kraft continues to be impressive. Jones looked like he was back and healthy. We didn't miss Jaire or Stokes at CB at all. Oh and Love... 3843 yards and 30 TDs on the season, surpassing Erik Kramer's 3838 and 29 TDs. The one thing I wanted to come of this season was to see if Jordan Love was a legit NFL QB. Not only did he prove that... he has been one of the better ones in the second half of the season.

    23 yards to go. Jordan Love's 30 TD in a season is more than any Bear's QB ever. Gotta love it!.
  12. CheezWizHed
    Bo KNOWS!
  13. CheezWizHed
    Not sure what happened to Doub's hands.. he was so good last year. Not so much this year.
  14. CheezWizHed
    So, less than 2/3rds of teams can find a kicker that can make over 85% of his FGs? And that makes it easy? Mason Crosby didn't make 85% in his first year. In fact... he didn't do it until year 5.

    I'd bet money it was given Bisaccia's recommendation. His brother was cut by the Vikings and became a Pro Bowl K after a couple of years. I want to be patient, but missing XPs is... odd. I'm not convinced that finding good Ks is all that easy though. Lots of teams tend to struggle getting a good one.
  16. CheezWizHed
    71 yards to go... tied on TDs. This will be a main story point next week. Book it.

    REEEEEEEEEDDDDD!!!!!!

    The crowd is awfully quiet tonight...
  19. CheezWizHed
    Smith! Brooks! FUMBLE!!!
  20. CheezWizHed
    To be honest, I thought it was late and thus, "fair"... but that doesn't mean it was the actual rule. Not crazy about that long shot on 3rd and short... seems like we gave up on that drive when it easily could've been something.
  21. CheezWizHed
    Chicago Bear's embarrassment watch: Jordan Love is 118 yards and 1 TD away from matching the Chicago Bears' all-time QB single-season leader (Erik Kramer - remember that "legend"?) .
  22. CheezWizHed
    I'm torn. I want to play it safer and get and easy 1st down, but man he was wide open...
  23. CheezWizHed
    Dear Chris Collins, Love did not learn from watching Favre. Sincerely, Fans with Brain
  24. CheezWizHed
    Justin Jeffeson - 4TDs Jayden Reed - 7 TDs + 2 TD rushing.
  25. CheezWizHed
    Love to Reed! Love that connection.
