Line work needs help lol

I want to get into a paid fantasy football dynasty league with some Bears fans because I have no friends as enthusiastic about the Bears as I am and don't want to end up in a league with a bunch of Packer or Patriot the fans. Anyone know of any openings?

Hello!

I’m trying to buy tickets for the game. I wasn’t able to get them as they went on sale direct through Ticketmaster. I should’ve bought one of the hospitality packages but waited too long.

I’m on StubHub, and some of these tickets are listed as “Level” rather than an actual section number. Same as rows, some listed as “UP or Low”

I’ve found some decent seats that aren’t bad price but is “Level” reputable??? I mean if it’s a scam I’ll get my money back. I just want some good seat

crazy how stubhub is a resale site, if the tickets aren’t in hand you shouldn’t be able to list them without full info

Imagine queuing from 9am all the way through to the midday release of ticket sales for a shot at getting to see your football team in your home country only to see the random number generator in full effect. As the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has a capacity of 62,850, I look forward to seeing the Bears on night 3.

What the title says

What is the best Bears hat for a guy with a big head?

How does one buy tickets to this game? There's very limited info online aside from waitlists. I saw someone post here once about them getting released tonight? Any guidance would be lovely.

Looking for the best quality option for a 1936 throwback. Worried about all the talk of poor quality post-Fanatics. Would prefer stitching, but it seems like I may have to look at overseas options for that? Not opposed, but seems like a dice roll. Anyone buy one recently that they are happy with?

This is the boring part of the offseason, so I thought i’d make an in depth analysis of the Bears change on the offensive line.

2023 Chicago Bears Offensive Line Players PFF Score

PFF Score, Snap Count, Penalties, Sacks Allowed

2023 Chicago Bears Offensive Line:

• Braxton Jones (LT): 68.8, 724, 9, 2
• Teven Jenkins (LG/RG): 72.6, 731, 4, 3
• Cody Whitehair (C): 45.0, 787, 2, 3
• Nate Davis (RG): 52.9, 663, 6, 1
• Darnell Wright (RT): 62.4, 1,127, 11, 7

Total PFF Average of the 2023 Offensive Line: 60.34

2024 Chicago Bears (Presumed) Offensive Line (Based on 2023 PFF Data):

• Braxton Jones (LT): 68.8, 724, 9, 2
• Teven Jenkins (LG): 72.6, 731, 4, 3
• Coleman Shelton (C): 64.5, 1,113, 6, 2
• Ryan Bates (RG/Swing): 78.7, 35, 0, 0
• Darnell Wright (RT): 62.4, 1,127, 11, 7

Total PFF Average of the 2024 Offensive Line: 69.4

Analysis:

Ryan Bates' limited snap count in 2023 significantly skews the average for the 2024 projection. If Bates performs closer to a PFF grade in the range of 58-65, the overall average would be more balanced. This underscores the need to consider snap count and context when evaluating PFF scores.

In 2023, the Chicago Bears' offensive line was one of the most penalized in the league, at 20 penalties, significantly hampering their offensive efficiency. The line's 50 total sacks allowed further highlighted their struggles—although not entirely their fault—particularly in pass protection.

Cody Whitehair's performance in 2023 highlights the challenges he faced, including injuries, poor pass protection, and issues with snapping accuracy. His struggles contributed to the overall lower grade for the offensive line.

Reducing penalties will be critical for the Bears' offensive success. Braxton Jones, Coleman Shelton, and Darnell Wright, in particular, need to clean up their penalties as these substantially hurt the offense's ability to convert downs and sustain drives.

Typically, teams with a poor to below-average offensive line rank between 50.0-60.9, average lines between 61.0-69.9, and elite lines 75.0+. For example, the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles exemplify elite offensive lines with average scores above 75.0.

In 2023, the Chicago Bears ranked below average in pass protection but excelled in run blocking. The addition of new players to the offensive line in 2024 offers potential for improvement based on the available metrics. Reducing penalties and sacks allowed will be crucial for the Bears to elevate their offensive line performance to an average or above-average level.

Me and the buds were talking, I find it extremely unique that we do not have a divisional opponent until halfway into the season. I find it super beneficial as we can iron out some problems if any arise before playing anyone in the North.

Is this a common thing that I've not noticed before, or a unique situation?

Seeing whats all out there. Last year I got what is currently my go to Bears cap.

What's your favorite Bears hat (and why)?
