Although it furthers the point that Tomlin is terrible at keeping WR attitudes in check.

Also it probably doesn't matter if you put prime Jerry rice in there as long as matt Canada is running the offense

Pittsburgh has more big contracts they aren't gonna shed than Chicago does...Pittsburgh isn't gonna turn around and just get rid of Watt, Fitzpatrick Diontae Johnson etc.

Fields is basically Lamar Jackson, you can win some games with him but you have to specialize the offense.

Fields will be alright, he will make Bears football bearable

Kyler feels like the better comparison. Fields throws a very good ball. I don't think his decision making is quick so he'll bail more often than not. Nor do I think it ever will be. He's very athletic but won't break ankles like Lamar does.

Tomlin is a product of inheriting Big Ben.

I don't think he's a bad coach but you can only be good for so long.

The fact that GB didnt out bid them for Claypool blows my mind.

Green Bays GM is not good at his job...it's pretty obvious, the Steelers have basically had out there they'd take a 2 for Claypool for weeks..guarantee you GB offered a 3 or 4.

Dude is not a good GM.

That teams a steaming pile of shit, Rodgers is the only thing propping them up, and hes far from what he used to be. Coaching seems iffy from what little ive seen. The only players on the offense that look worth a damn are Rodgers and Jones the RB. And from what i saw they were dead set on running the back up rb 50/50 with Jones.

AJ Dillon is a good player, problem is giving your HOF QB 2 good backs and no WR's is completely stupid.

I was starting to think, watching Mahomes for so long, that the receiver talent isn't as important as other positions.

Then I'm watching the Packers struggle, and how much different the Bengals looked the other night with that one dude in the lineup for Chase, and you could tell it affected Burrow. So I guess QBs are important, as well as the talent around them.

Those guys don't have Andy Reid.

The Packers OL isn't as good as it was as Bahktieri isn't the same player anymore. So you have an OL that has declined, Rodgers is getting old and he literally has no weapons.

If you were keeping him to go for it, you should have drafted weapons. I have no issue with AJ Dillon being on the team because Jones is so versatile you can do things with that...just it doesn't work as well when no one cares about your receivers.

A day later, I'm still like :

Urc Burry · 11-02-2022, 08:40 AM

I like it for both teams. Pickens is going to be a star.. still butthurt about that.

But Fields has looked a lot better now that they are using him like he should be. The WR FA class is going to be awful. They have a shit ton of cap space so they can improve the team elsewhere. Roquan has become extremely overrated, was not going to resign, and is not worth the money i he’s going to get
