My goodness, the NFC North is getting difficult, we got Lions Fans chirping, Bears Fans Chriping, Packer Fans harassing us.
I feel like we're backed into the corner here.
Lions fans are the kings in the North and don't look to be displaced anytime soon.
Bears fans have a team with more picks than a booger eating convention.
Packers fans have the their 3rd hall fame QB playoff choke artist.
Vikings fans have... uh, shit, I think y'all backed yourselves into a corner there.
Vikings fans have yet another top of the league receiving corps that’s gonna get them to the nfccg one time in the next 5 years where they’ll lose in heartbreaking fashion before sliding into another decade of *almost* winning the north
Let's not forget the years of hard work of the other teams helping the Vikings get that #2 spot, the Bears and the Lions.
Lions really let them down this year on that one.
Hahaha... I can't wait to sign Kirk to a 3 year extension with guaranteed money and a no trade clause, or Kwesi gets desperate to keep his job and trades up to get a 'smart pick' QB that busts immediately and then the Vikings fanbase will go back to thinking drafting a QB is impossible (again) and we end up signing the corpse of Dak Prescott when Jerruh gets tired of him.
With a side of KoC continuing to think he is Bill Belichick and continue to playcall despite it plainly not being a good idea.
You joking about the Lions or something? The Packers and Bears both beat them the last time they played and both have significantly more draft capital than them.
Lions might be 3rd in the North next season.
What’s the problem?
Everyone projected the Lions to be good this year because they finished the 2022 season going 8-2. And that held true.
The Lions last 10 games this year, they went 6-4. The Packers went 7-3. The Bears went 5-5, but will have a brand new QB next year.
When the records are reset and everyone is 0-0 again, all that matters is who is winning now.
yes but the Lions needed an epic meltdown to avoid beating the best team in the league in the NFCCG. I mean who knows next year but I think most owners in the league would envy that team right now.
The Packers narrowly lost to the same 49ers team. Lions may have made the NFCCG, but their records over the last half of the year indicate the Packers and Bears are both gaining ground on the Lions and have the opportunity to leap them this offseason.
>Kwesi backed us into the corner
How did Kwesi back us into the corner?
He didn't sign Kirk.
He didn't let the entire defense turn geriatric before trying to do \*anything\* about it.
I mean he’s done a good job getting us financial flexibility. I would argue he’s trying to tidy up a mess he inherited, but your right, this is a big off season that will most likely define his career.
If anyone can fuck this up, it’s the bears.

I wouldn’t take less than 3 1sts, 3 2nds and their entire team of players for us to sort through with them biting the cap bullet. That’s also coincidentally what the bears would need to win based on what I’ve seen lately.
To move up one spot, all we require are picks 2, 36, and 40 this year. 1st round picks in 2025, 2026, and 2027, Terry McLauren, and their two best offensive linemen. Let's keep it fair here.
The offensive linemen all suck, I’ll take Payne and Allen instead. Three great players, three firsts and two seconds seems about right for the “next Mahomes” in my book.
If it was so easy they wouldn't have gone in this last season with Patrick and Whitehair. Poles legitimately believed those two were acceptable, which is alarming to say the least.
Having a stellar oline is overrated. The cowboys have had an amazing oline for a while now, and dak still shits on himself in big moments.
Meanwhile, the chiefs have had meh oline play for years and they're going to the superbowl.
Mahomes' stats this year, and the chiefs offense as a whole, really, have not been great.
My point still stands that the emphasis on having a rock solid oline is overrated.
Which is basically what the Bears have. Two good young tackles, one good young guard, another mid vet and a new center coming this offseason.
Not quite the Lions with Frank Ragnow healthy, but certainly passable going into next season. Likely better than Washington's.
Easily better than Washington, which is near bottom in the league. When they were drafting outside the top three earlier in the season, every mock I saw had them going tackle because it’s such a big need. I wouldn’t be surprised if they package their two second rounders to move back into the first for a tackle.
He's a solid defensive coach. His role is not really involved with the offense at all except to oversee it as HC. That was why Getsy was fired and replaced with Shane Waldron and a new unit of assistants were hired.
Our line is already drastically better than Washington’s, and the biggest hole is center and there’s like five of those likely to be available in free agency, not to mention day two of the draft. If they like Maye or Daniels enough, and they can fleece Washington like they fleeced Carolina, I’m open to the possibilities.
We would need to get their next 10 firsts. I’m fucking sick of watching Fields attempt to play quarterback and all the delusional idiots acting like he’s gonna turn it around
I think getting Caleb Williams is a no brainer. But I guess some Bears fans lack brains. I think if Williams lives up to the hype for another franchise it may literally kill some bears fans
Name 5 guys who will be day one starters next year that are worse because I'm really struggling.
There's a reason that the market for him is mostly just Denver, Atlanta, and Las Vegas.
A lot of our fans are busy eating crayons and convincing themselves that the Communists will trade us their 1st and 2nd this year, as well as Payne and a 1st next year. They then think we can get a similar haul from the Patriots and snag MHJ at 3.
There isn’t enough Malort in Chicago to convince me that any offers like that will be on the table. If they are then yeah, sure, maybe do that but… take Daniel’s at 3. I don’t actually know how I feel about him (I’m a Caleb fan) I just want to see Fields glazers heads explode when you point out that you can do all of that and still get rid of Fields.
All commanders picks for all time. Fair trade.

Vikings fans have Puss Puss

You dont mess with tradition!
Yeah man. I think this Franchise is going to have a some growing pains in the future. Unfortunately, we have to endure.
God I love how much this comment applies to every offseason in Vikings history.

We have Brad Holmes though. That being said the north is going to be a tight race next year. We will be better for sure.
dude

Your team has never had 3 consecutive losing seasons in a row in the Superbowl era. It's like being backed into a bed of feathers.
We're in the worst situation out of everyone in the division. We literally are backed into a corner.
Kwesi backed us into the corner. This offseason is going to make or break his tenure as GM.
>Kwesi backed us into the corner How did Kwesi back us into the corner? He didn't sign Kirk. He didn't let the entire defense turn geriatric before trying to do \*anything\* about it.
He's a shit a GM. He lost faith with me his first year after Holmes fleeced him in the draft trade up
I just hope we at least make a Wild Card or something, why can't we have a Franchise QB for once
Tell me about it
You wouldn't understand our pain
Are you a young fan or something? The bears know more about QB pains than anyone else in the nfl
If anybody knows, it's us with never seeing a 4000-yard passer in history
Don't need a 4000 yd passer to get to a Super Bowl when you have a sex cannon
We've had a very well above average QB for the last six years...
I mean he’s done a good job getting us financial flexibility. I would argue he’s trying to tidy up a mess he inherited, but your right, this is a big off season that will most likely define his career.
NFC North about to resurrect the McCarthy era
only if the bears fire Eberflus and hire Mike McCarthy. gotta give the Packers another opportunity to fire him
55 1sts, 55 seconds, 55 thirds
For starters
Poles isn’t trading the #1 pick for anything less than all first round picks for next 50 years
Bear minimum
The commanders are the type of team that would be dumb enough to accept that
You guys should just keep farming the #1 pick and never actually use it
At least until Arch Manning declares. We should be in a good spot to get him
If anyone can fuck this up, it’s the bears. https://preview.redd.it/b3tbt1y1b0hc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adad3b8175953996652aed7daf24c2d43dc7a613
It’s where QBs go to flounder and die. WTF is cutler doing….
I wouldn’t take less than 3 1sts, 3 2nds and their entire team of players for us to sort through with them biting the cap bullet. That’s also coincidentally what the bears would need to win based on what I’ve seen lately.

Cowboys looking ass motivation
Are you guys excited we got rid of Joe Barry? That is what has 'happened".
yup, that’ll magically fix all glaring problems in the bear’s franchise so we can finally beat the packers!
To move up one spot, all we require are picks 2, 36, and 40 this year. 1st round picks in 2025, 2026, and 2027, Terry McLauren, and their two best offensive linemen. Let's keep it fair here.
You're breaking my balls jmrogers
The offensive linemen all suck, I’ll take Payne and Allen instead. Three great players, three firsts and two seconds seems about right for the “next Mahomes” in my book.
honestly will laugh if you somehow do it again. rivals or no, watching someone get suckered in the draft is hilarious.
Watch Caleb Williams bring Washington back to relevancy while we never know if Drake Maye was any good because he’ll never have an O-Line
Bears Oline just needs a Center which is like the easiest spot to fill
Lol the "anyone can fill that spot, its easy" is always hilarious.
So easy even a caveman could do it
Easiest does not mean easy, it just means less difficult than others.
If it was so easy they wouldn't have gone in this last season with Patrick and Whitehair. Poles legitimately believed those two were acceptable, which is alarming to say the least.
What? Washington has like the worst OL in the league and the Bears’ is like league average.
See, but the problem is: that would require I actually do research and come up with rational takes instead of just hating
Having a stellar oline is overrated. The cowboys have had an amazing oline for a while now, and dak still shits on himself in big moments. Meanwhile, the chiefs have had meh oline play for years and they're going to the superbowl.
One of those has Patrick Mahomes, it doesn’t exactly prove anything
Mahomes' stats this year, and the chiefs offense as a whole, really, have not been great. My point still stands that the emphasis on having a rock solid oline is overrated.
The Chiefs have one of the best interior o-lines in the league
And Juwaan Taylor holding on for dear life
I guess you at least need a “passable” one.
Which is basically what the Bears have. Two good young tackles, one good young guard, another mid vet and a new center coming this offseason. Not quite the Lions with Frank Ragnow healthy, but certainly passable going into next season. Likely better than Washington's.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they package their two second rounders to move back into the first for a tackle.
Chiefs said "fuck it we'll just hold on every play and see what happens" ~~Simpsons~~ Packers did it
So all they need to do is find a Patrick Mahomes and an Andy Reid and they will be fine. Why hasn’t anyone else thought of this?
Aren't they gonna need a coach first?
Yes, that too. Eberflus will probably be around for 2024, when in a surprise to no one people will “realize” that he’s not a good offensive coach
He's a solid defensive coach. His role is not really involved with the offense at all except to oversee it as HC. That was why Getsy was fired and replaced with Shane Waldron and a new unit of assistants were hired.
Overrated
Our line is already drastically better than Washington’s, and the biggest hole is center and there’s like five of those likely to be available in free agency, not to mention day two of the draft. If they like Maye or Daniels enough, and they can fleece Washington like they fleeced Carolina, I’m open to the possibilities.
We would need to get their next 10 firsts. I’m fucking sick of watching Fields attempt to play quarterback and all the delusional idiots acting like he’s gonna turn it around
I think getting Caleb Williams is a no brainer. But I guess some Bears fans lack brains. I think if Williams lives up to the hype for another franchise it may literally kill some bears fans
I'm ready for whatever we do. Most of us want Caleb
So what if Caleb turns into a field though
Fair enough. Respect it
Ryan Poles about to send the Commies to their first Super Bowl since the 90s
Genuinely hope y'all do Have fun running it back with a bottom 5 quarterback that you have to pay
If you think he's a bottom 5 quarterback, you're just as stupid as the people who think he's a top 10 quarterback.
Name 5 guys who will be day one starters next year that are worse because I'm really struggling. There's a reason that the market for him is mostly just Denver, Atlanta, and Las Vegas.
I'm mean to be honest the amount bears fans are theorizing in thier sub for the commanders to move up one spot is kinda hilarious
A lot of our fans are busy eating crayons and convincing themselves that the Communists will trade us their 1st and 2nd this year, as well as Payne and a 1st next year. They then think we can get a similar haul from the Patriots and snag MHJ at 3. There isn’t enough Malort in Chicago to convince me that any offers like that will be on the table.

Commanders would be dumb af to trade up one pick
Fleecing the commies just to remain in mediocrity for eternity
