salute to the Bear Down Poscast

This is apparently an analytics guy and he called AJ Hawk "trash", Doubs the "4th best receiver on the team", and the Bears "good now". K... Oh, he also said that Rodgers didn't follow Lafleur's system and then turned around and said that Lafleur helped him get "an mvp"... for one, it was two mvp's, and for two, you can't really have it go both ways.

Good job on finding pessimistic packers fan

sweet gretsch archtop in the back ground.

A Packers fan here. I think the NFC North is going to be very competitive this year. Maybe even the best division in the NFL. The year end standings for the division will be determined by the development of the 2 rookie QB’s, the continued development of Jordan Love and the continuing solid play of Jared Goff. Jared Goff has demonstrated he can play at a consistently high level year after year and that should continue for the 2024 season. Jordan Love appears to be a budding star at quarterback and should play very well in 2024 but since he only has one year of starting experience so far he probably won’t have the level of consistent play that Goff does which will result in the Lions winning the division and GB becoming a Wild Card team. The Chicago Bears are clearly a team on the rise. They have a very talented rookie quarterback; a mix of solid young and veteran talent at the offensive skill positions; and a solid offensive line. In addition, the Bears have a very competitive defense that played well in the second half of last season. The level of success that the Bears have in 2024 is going to depend in great measure upon how quickly and how well Caleb Williams develops. He is an excellent talent but the Bears will start slowly due to their rookie quarterback but will come on strong as the season progresses. The Bears will finish 3rd in the division at around 0.500 or maybe a little higher not far behind the Packers. The Vikings will be a distant 4th because the just have too many holes on their roster. They will most likely start rookie QB JJ McCarthy that will need a lot of development or start a washed up veteran. They have a number of good players but the overall roster has too many holes for them to compete with the rest of the division.

Packers 12-5 Lions 12-5 Bears 8-9 Vikings 6-11

The Green Bay Packers are going to dominate

Chicago has plenty of draft picks

23:48 Great take Matthew. Jared Goff had the highest adjusted passer rating in a clean pocket of any QB in the league. If you don’t need to scramble, there’s no one better.

I find it funny that a Bears fan is saying that Goff would have made the Bears and/or Vikings worse last year if he was on their teams. Sorry that you dont have a good TEAM! Just keep winning the offseason so the good teams like the Lions can actually win games that matter. Yeah the Bears had a "great draft". Ok go prove it on the field. As a Lions fan I can see when a fanbase is relying on players to win meaningful games. The truth is you need a complete organization. When you get that, then you can start criticizing other teams. Until then, just keep winning your 5-8 games a year and starting talking about the draft in December!

Great show.

Branch will not be playing safety often. Not sure where you're hearing this.

Goff improved a bad Cal team. Was part of the turn around in LA. Was part of the turn around in Detroit. Guess he’s just lucky to go to shitty teams when they just so happen to be getting better? And I’m sure any QB could run a McVay or Ben Johnson offense better. Most disrespected player in the NFL.

You ask why Dan Campbell is a good coach, you also ask if Goff should be paid. The answer is somewhat the same to both. Dan and the coaching staff have built an offense that fits Goffs strengths to a tee. Does that make Goff a system QB? Maybe... but if it works that well is that bad? No, for me it is smart coaching. Campbell is honest with the players. He runs a meritocracy, if you earn the position you get to play, reputation be damned. As a player you are told what to improve to get playing time. Players want a coach like that.

Lions fan here. Matthew and the guys at ROTLUK put in the work and really know their stuff! Great show guys!

Lions are going into year 4 with same coordinators and have been drafting and acquiring talented players who fit the scheme.

Been a Lion fan before we drafted Barry. Holy cow, we need to make this dude an honorary citizen of (313)

Interesting show. For a quarterback with the credentials Jared Goff has for his 8 years in the league I am continually amazed at people who seem to follow the game giving such little respect for his accomplishments. He is by far the best precision timing passing quarterback in the NFL and the very best play action ball handling quarterback in the NFL. He is not a dual run-pass threat to extend plays with his legs when the protection or coverage stones the play call. However, he has done what no NFL QB has ever done by taking two very different and dismal franchises that were perennial losers to playoff success by winning playoff games for the 2 teams for the first time in over a decade. The Rams had gone 13 straight years without a winning record (2004-2016) and no playoff appearances in 12 straight years (2005-2016) before he became the season opening starter in 2017. The Lions had not won a playoff game in over 30 years prior to Goff becoming their QB. He has been the QB of four NFL Top 5 offenses over the past seven years doing it with both the Rams and Lions. Sean McVay, as the offensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins with Kirk Cousins while playing in his 3rd through 5th seasons in the league, never had a Top 5 NFL offense. Goff went back to back in 2017 and 2018 with NFL Top 5 offenses for the Rams, and these are the only two times a Sean McVay coached offense has achieved a ranking that high. Matthew Stafford has yet to do it with McVay, and Stafford's only time in the Top 5 offense rankings happened in 2011. Goff quarterbacked his third Top 5 offense feat in 2022 with an unknown offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, who became the hot coaching topic for two years running after the Lions with Goff had their second straight Top 5 offense in 2023. Goff was a dropped 4th down pass and a dropped INT which bounced off a face mask and into Brandon Aiyuk's hands away from his second Super Bowl just four months ago.

I hate the entire "system" convo. Stafford would have used ARSB like he did Golden Tate. Every QB has a system built around his strengths, unless the OC is an idiot.🤣

Booker destroyed Jordan Morgan (the tackle GB took in round 1 ) in the senior bowl drills.

If you’re reaching for a Booker comparison, try upside as a Leonard Floyd

The guy is in those slots on the speed side either 44 is not slow

This is such excellent analysis, you guys deserve 100 X the subscribers that you have

Loving listening to my guys Fanaticosos!! Way to go!

Patrick said out of one side of his mouth these teams were “equal” based on how close their record was at the start of the pod then proceed to backtrack with the Bears had a false sense of reality by beating up on lesser opponents 🙃

Stevenson made some plays, but he also got torched several times, including the 59 yarder to Reed.

I love it when these clowns are totally talk nonsense of their pathetic bears

But he slide doe!!!!!!

Gentlemen, I understand Bears fans and media wanting the brass to swing for the fences in pursuit of coaching stars. Something that is consistently glossed over is 1) It takes two to tango, what makes anyone believe that Harbaugh, Vrabel etc WANT to come to the Bears if they have options. Maybe Vrabel wants to go to NE or take a year off. 2) Relationships--does Bears brass have a history good or bad with any potential coaches?.; 3) Systems already in place which would require a complete teardown of the roster again.

dont waste your time here

Gentlemen! Love the pod, forgot it's on YT. One minor disagreement on Fields flaws. Yes there are times he holds on to the ball too long waiting for anybody other than Moore or Kmet open. But that was not the case against GB. During the first 10-12 pass plays he was quick, precise and decisive. He made about 3 wow throws into small windows or deep. He didnt hold the ball more than 3 secs. Then the interior line fell apart. Teven had his worse game and GB attacked the A gaps. The Justin was sacked and pressured no stop. Did Getsy try to counter with max protect or slants, etc? Nope. Pitches and screens. No quick passing game. Just watched his games against Michigan and Clemson. Yes he had talented WRs but he spread the ball to 6-7 in those games and didn't have the bad habits he has now. So what was Ryan Day doing with him? Where's that QB? Coaching matters

Harbaugh and Caleb … Come on down!!! 🐻⬇️

green bay pro bowl players 0!!

Loving the Sunburst Gretsch!

GREAT show, AWESOME guest!! Must-watch

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT EPISODE!!!

MERRY VICTORY CHRISTMAS!🎄🔼. 🐻🔽🌐🍻 Keep JF1!

It's obvious the Bears need a few more players rather than a rookie quarterback! Also, Getsy needs to be launched into the Sun asap!

Y'all need to fire Eberflus. Mentality blocks where when you are winning you fall to pieces comes directly from coaching. We had the same thing with Patricia. Don't waste a year 3 on him like we did with Matty, we all knew it was a mistake but they did it anyway and it cost a lot and years to fix. It'll be the same for you if you do not get rid!

Gut wrenching

Go lions

❤

I totally agree with Jack about Velus. Ppl are still punishing him for last year, and he has barely had any opportunities this year. He's showed up pretty well when he's had opportunities. I feel he just needs more touches and targets in the offense before he explodes for some highlight plays. Tyler Scott is good, but a completely different body type -- and also has questionable hands. But either way, we're better off prioritizing looks at Velus this year, because Scott will be here for a while. And I agree with Brendon about how we need to stop talking about the draft in October. (or November for that matter). Love the show, guys!

Bucks should put Wesley Matthew in playoff and Wesley Matthew save the bucks in playoff vs heat

Clippers should win last year playoff batum save the clippers in playoffs

Why clippers did put batum in playoff last year’s when Paul g got injury tumb Same fox sabonis because they had tumb injury in kings the kings should trey l and k m more in the playoff last same buck lost to Heat last year they should put Wesley Matthew in buck playoff last year in nba

Dan is beyond delusional lmao. Look no further than EQs brother Amon Ra. He’s an elite WR and an elite run blocker. Absolutely insane to think just because you are a good receiver you don’t need to block or work on getting better at it. No blame to the QB with two 4th qtr turnovers lmao. Delusion
