Previous Message| The vibes feel off and I can see this being like a 7-10 team. But that still can be ok long-term.

| The late Trapillo injury and Dahlman retirement really set them back this offseason.

|
| Unfortunately FA is largely a wasteland, so the cap space is tough to spend well*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Yeah but you can’t spend it much worse than you did on some of the guys you’d be clearing.
Posted by OB25
|
| I think there’s a good chance we have a team similar to 2013*

| Bears game vibes this year: “Yo dawg, I heard you like points.”*

| Roger Goodell seems very eager to have a Super Bowl in Hammond

| I wonder how Hoosiers feel about this. You'd be owning the libs, but at your own expense.

| Draftniks - do you ever listen to the McShay podcast?
Posted by bjl63
|
| I found it way, way too rambly. Just like 15 mins of “what the fuck did I just listen to?”*

| Nike Air Max 90 Bears' rivalry series

|
| So they expect adults to want to wear something like that?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| If they had a block I on them, they'd probably get multiple takers just from this board*

|
| Have you seen some of the shit that grown adults wear to Bears games?*
Posted by OB25
|
| the people that suplex each other through tables, yes.

|
| I hope we don’t have to analyze every Caleb throw like the Zapruder film again this year, but…
Posted by OB25
|
| I feel like the focus should be more on cleaning up that holding penalty
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| New Bears uniforms stink like poop.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| I’m fine with it in isolation but I really hope the NFL and MLB stay disciplined on this.
Posted by OB25
|
| They look like Illini uni's*

| Throwback to Dave Wilson days.

|
| The Bears' regular uniforms are more "rivalry" than any updated historical look
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| I dislike the orange helmets but don't mind the uniforms*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Think I may have overreacted due to incomplete information.

|
| Unpopular opinion: it might be time to get rid of the GSH
Posted by Sounder
|
| man, we just got rid of Columbus Day like five years ago*
Posted by Sammich
|
| as in...remove it from the uniforms completely? that's dumb
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| They REALLY never want to put the Bears head logo on a helmet
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
| Looks like no teams changed their helmet logo other than coloring
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Here's all of them......Houston did, kinda

| I like the pants. They're basically Illini football pants from the 90's.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| unpopular opinion, i kinda like them*

|
| The big patch is back. Was looking forward to it being gone this year.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| They are only wearing this kit on Xmas, so you'll only have to deal with it once.*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
| Feels like LT very much still up in the air, probably goes to Braxton by default*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Is Ozzy still not back back? I thought he (miraculously) was 100% back.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| he was (miraculously) cleared to practice, but is not 100% back
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Ok, but cleared to practice is basically ready to go. Do we think he'll suit up week 1?*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| it's definitely not basically ready to go. he'll likely start the season on IR
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Seems dumb. If you can practice, you can play.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| ooo
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Actually, he (miraculously) is now 100% black.*

| Will probably help with blood circulation in that surgically repaired knee.*

| DeVito just dropped a dime for a TD *
Posted by assassin
|
| CUTLETS!*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
| Not exactly the narrative changing drive I was hoping for*
Posted by gvibes
|
| The missed throw to Loveland could/should have been better
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| The Loveland throw didn’t look like a miss to me. Was about the only place he could put that ball*
Posted by OB25
|
| Other than the wide open guy underneath, yes.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Was a pretty nice drive by the Bears starters until the holding penalty
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| to be clear, they practiced *against each other* two days ago*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| who would pay more than the stubhub minimum for a preseason game?*
Posted by assassin
|
| We went last Saturday for the total cost of 200 United Miles
Posted by Dilbert
|
| Season ticket holders who get fucked over by the preseason.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| but that's baked in and they know it. *
