The Bears announce that starting offensive right tackle Larry Borom has been placed on the NFLโs reserve/COVID-19 list, becoming the fifth player this week on the team to be added, joining Artie Burns, Mario Edwards Jr, Eddie Goldman, and Sam Kamara.

As a certain QB School video about Justin is getting lots of play in the last day, I went back and watched the old QB School videos from the Nagy era. Watch Justin' footwork, watch him not hesitate to throw, watch him not click his heels, watch him throw the ball over the middle.
If the Bears D hadnโt choked away the Ravens game, and if we didnโt get screwed by the refs in Pittsburgh, weโre in position to make the playoffs with a win next week. Sigh.
Guys, apparently if we draft a rookie QB, weโre going to the playoffs. WE SHOULD BE IN THE PLAYOFFS IF OUR HC WASNโT A FUCKING IDIOT WHOSE NONSENSE BLEW THREE FOURTH QUARTER LEADS.
Iโm scrolling through Bears content and the usual suspects are complaining about winning yesterday because it negatively impacts our draft pick. At what point does one become a fan of the NFL Draft and not a team? Shove your โmeaninglessโ tweets up your butts.
Has anyone considered that Poles is less concerned about what he can get for Fields, and more concerned that he gets the 1.01 pick right (interview & physical)? And if it takes longer to deal Justin heโll live with it.

Jake, thanks so much for giving Rep McCaul, who voted against impeachment, time to air his opinion. Why should anyone believe anything he has to say?
Today on Bears Twitter, Bears fans complain about stupid shit. How dare George pick up Ryan Poles in person, wearing jeans, not wearing a suit, not sending a limo, greeting him with a handwritten sign, no flowers or chocolates either! ๐ My God, you people are a toothache.
I just blocked a Bears fan as heโs a racist POS. We must stand up for each other & against the assholes. You come for one of us then youโre gonna meet all of us๐ปโฌ๏ธ
The funny thing about this NFL season is that it was built for the Bears to lose - very tough schedule - but faced Ravens without Lamar (L), screwed by Corrente (L), Special Teams were ridiculous v GB (L) - all three are wins with an average offense. Thatโs 7-6 & in the hunt. Sad

Reporters trying to joke about the Bears being the โMichiganโ in OSU-Michigan rivalry when talking about Bears-Packers.
Justin Fields didnโt think it was funny.
Bears by a million on Sunday.
I find that Iโm disappointed about the Fields trade because I would have liked to see him play on a team with the talent we have now. That would have been fun. What a waste of three years.
After watching quite a bit of tape from this season and last, my comp for Caleb is a bigger Kyler Murray. Give me Justin and the draft picks. Bring in a professional center, WR2, move TE, and WR3.

@SenTedCruz
Has Senator Cruz forgotten that he & all Republicans voted for a bill with no wall funding before the President* started this shutdown nonsense? Passed unanimously as I recall.
Deshaun Watson got sacked 7 times and still won against a great team. Great quarterbacks can overcome poor offensive line play. I think the people defending Trubisky need to realize that.

Strong blocker, fast, great hands, and a hell of a teammate.

Hereโs a gift link to this opinion piece. The Child Tax Credit is a wonderful tool to help poor families get their heads above water, and I hope that Congress passes this legislation again soon.

Glad youโre better. Itโs never real until it happens to you, is it? How about a long thread of you apologizing for your previous nonsense?
Exactly right: โAsylum seekers actually are, by definition, โringing our doorbell and entering legally.โ They have the legal right to apply for asylum and get due process.โ
"We need a high wall with a big gate on the southern border," says Tom Friedman. This take is wrong in numerous ways. Most of our problems are *not about border security.* Casting them as such helps demagogues and makes solving our actual problems harder:
