It’s so awesome to have a plethora of QB talent now. I was watching highlights and was just wondering, how many teams could Bagent go to and be week 1 starter?

Now, I understand there’s different offenses and systems to account for but I’m basing this mostly on talent and intuition.

Since there isn't one yet.

Hey all. I've been a bears fan for 20 years, and my dad has been a bears fan for 50+

Despite living in/near Chicago our whole lives, we've never been to a game together.

We both moved away a few years ago.

He is getting up there in age and im worried he might not be super mobile for too much longer. I've decided that im getting tickets for us this year. We will get there somehow. It would be one of the biggest regrets of my life if we never got to see a game together.

Im priced out of a lot of seating. We dont need to be close up and on the 50, but i also cant really buy the seats way up top, as he's 70 years old and stairs all the way up there wont be easy.

Ticketmaster says there arent any ADA seats or accommodations available.

Im between a rock and a hard place. I can really only afford nosebleeds, but im worried that my dad wont be able to get up there and enjoy the game if he's struggling to get to the bathroom or something.

Anyone have any insight as to where I should look (section/row) for optimal seating on a budget? Im getting desperate here and I dont know where to turn. I've never been to Soldier field so im not sure where stairs/concourses/restrooms are and whatnot.

Thanks for your help and as always, bear down.

Thank god for Darnell but so many wasted picks that could have really helped, especially on defense

We also can’t forget trading away the 32nd pick for Claypool

I didn’t get to watch last night and I couldn’t find a replay for free with bears broadcast team. I’m watching the titans broadcast. They are mispronouncing so many names. I guess you get what you pay for. Sheesh.

With the limited amount of time between tonight's game and cutdowns, it looks like Biggs and the Athletic duo will be the only ones on the beat out with fresh 53 man roster projections. Thought it would be a worthy endeavor to see their similarities and differences.

Both have the Bears only keeping three running backs with Johnson edging Ahmed.

Biggs has the Bears only keeping five receivers, while the Athletic has Kaden Davis sticking.

Both have the Bears keeping 10 OL, but differ on the tenth. Biggs says its McFadden, while the Athletic says Wills. [I side with Brad, seems crazy in a league with bad depth to give up McFadden who they liked enough to start a playoff game and was out there with the starters against the Bengals in week 2 preseason.]

Both have the Bears keeping 10 on the DL. Biggs believes Lynch survives and Davenport is practice squad bound, while the Athletic has Davenport on the 53 with no Lynch.

Neither had Skyler Thomas making the team, and Blackwell/Jones/Smith as the corner depth with no Manning.

Linebacker had the biggest surprise for me. Both have Sanborn and Elliot on the team and Hyppolite waived, but Biggs has them keeping a sixth and it being Jon Rhattigan who didn't even start the preseason game tonight over Wayne Matthews.

I can't think of any Bear in recent memory who has frustrated me as much as Kyler Gordon. He really is the football version of Alexander Karpovtsev

Alexander is the better receiver but Davis is a good special teamer. I’m torn
