2023 NFL Football thread

That’s a bold assumption. Gotta buy mamma that new house. And pay all those upcoming medical bills for playing behind a Bears OL. Oh, and lifelong mental health therapy sessions. And don’t forget inflation. The money dries up quickly.

Besides, it was meant as an exaggerated metaphor.

I think there are fans of several other teams that feel that way. Some very disappointing results in Week 1.

At least for Bears, it’s what we’re perpetually used to. No need to panic.

True dat, but after an entire offseason filled with hope and promises of a better team in the near future, it looks like the team is still quite bad, and that Justin Fields is a big bust.

He’s already out there selling insurance and making Subway sandwiches. So not too far from reality.

Yeah, but NFL QBs are usually bagging groceries BEFORE they become Super-Bowl-winning NFL AND HoF QBs, if memory serves correctly.

Yeah, I think panic wasn’t really the right word. The real takeaway from the game is the realization that we’ve started the era where Jordan Love owns the Bears.

I’d need to know why panic would be the emotion. Honestly!
Panic that one has invested far too much emotional baggage in a team, for some reason (probably back to childhood – need a the rapist).
Panic that one has already placed a bet on the Over for Number of Wins?
Panic that their Season Tickets cannot even be given away to one’s worst enemy?
Panic that Friday is NFL Jersey Friday, ands you, By Law, must wear one of several Bears Jerseys?

I mean, Panic? You’re not on the boat that is sinking. You’re not employed by the team. High picks next year! Something to look forward to.

It’s pretty clear at this point that it doesn’t matter who the QB under center is, the result is the same. So I wouldn’t say the current QB owns the Bears. More like the entire organization

For specificificity

Don’t use that kind of language around here!

Oops. I meant to say I don’t think that panic is the right word. Something more like resignation, maybe.

I know you didn’t. DeepPurple started it.

But then it wouldn’t fit the meme, would it?

3 plays, and the Jets are back to Zach Wilson.

But he’ll be better because he’s had all that time to learn behind Rodgers during training camp.

Does that mean we can move on with the rest of our lives?

Has anyone done a welfare check on ESPN’s Mike Greenberg?

Commas matter.

  1. Really surprised they didn’t have a split screen monitoring everything going on around the medical tent once Rodgers went in.
  2. I was hoping the Jets would move the medical tent with the cart.
