2025 NFL Thread

it's a good thing they didn't bench JJ after 3 quarters

really good thing considering virtually all NFL games are won or lost in the 4th qtr. JJ has the clutch gene and is a born winner and leader. kid has IT and you can't coach IT.

Chicago is out.

It is cool having the stadiums and arenas downtown, but logistically and financially it does not make sense. in NFL stadiums make less sense, because you are relying on postwork walk-up ticket sales.  I know that was a big part of the Pistons moving back downtown, is that unless they were really good, you could never go night of because the arena was out in the middle of nowhere

This location is actually really good. It's a 30-minute train ride from Downtown Chicago (5 minutes from my old house). The station is right on site.

30 minutes on a train full of drunk bears fans???

Nope

Arlington Heights is the best place for the Bears stadium. Soldier Field is impossible to get into or out of.

Kevin Warren was brought aboard the Bears organization to get the stadium deal done. Such things require deft negotiations,

I know that the Viking Ship seems to have worked out in downtown Minneapolis, but I still think they should have built it out in Blaine or at the TCAAP site in Arden Hills. Suburban sites work best for football stadiums that are used, at most, 18-20 times a year.

Jordan Love looks really good. how tf does Green Bay keep getting great QBs? never seen a team have consistently great QB play in the NFL for 31 years. how a team goes directly from Favre to Rodgers to Love is beyond me. amazing GM work there to be honest.

I used to like occasionally going to Arlington heights (racetrack).  It was also prudently used as a shuttle lot area for the US Open/PGA
