These are stupid rules.

Forcing a team to declare an onside kick in advance is the gayest of all the possible rule changes.

Just implement 4th and 20 from your own 25 as the "onside" option and be done with it. No punting allowed that play.

Not if they make it 3 on 3.

1 kicker, 2 players from the kicking team. 3 defenders. Must go 10 yards.

What if you announce an onside kick and then boot deep while the return team is all up on the line? Penalty?

get rid of onsides altogether and make it a single play 4&20. or some distance that historically gets converted at a slightly higher percentage than onsides kicks are recovered right now.

rule would have to have a way to deal with penalties. if the defense committs a penalty that typically equates to an automatic first down that doesnt mean a successful try. it would mean they try again but it's only 4&10

If I'm a DB, I'm tackling the receiver in the air if there is any chance he is going to make the catch.

Leave it as it is, or just get rid of the onsides and play football. Team is down 9 with a minute to go, sorry, you lose.
5.2% converted in 2023 feels like about what it should be. It's a "hail mary" type play.

Wilson out in Denver. Another QB on the market that's better than Fields

And available for the veteran minimum for a year.

Yep. Market keeps getting worse for the 21st best QB in the league.

Don't sound so fuckin' happy about it.

Admittedly I'm super happy since it makes the Bustin Fields cult look even dumber, if that's possible. No one is turning down the chance to acquire a 25 year old QB on his rookie QB if he's any good, and Fields isn't good. The market has spoken: Fields is a bust. Sorry, LTG.

I think the Mayfield and Cousins stuff is helpful to the Bears.

They become potential trade partners if they fail to retain their quarterback. The Vikings organization wanted to trade up for Fields a few years ago, and the Buccaneers aren't in position to trade up for a quarterback in the draft.

I still think Cousins will return to Minnesota, and the Falcons and Steelers will bid on Fields.

RB FA list: saquon, henry, pollard, ekeler, swift, josh jacobs, JK Dobbins... and some less heralded names like gus edwards, mattison, singleterry, CEH, aj dillon, antonio gibson, zack moss. would appear to be a buyers market even more so than usual

On second thought, I wouldn't be opposed to signing Barkley.

I think Cousins goes to the Falcons, Pitt sticks with Pick, Baker goes to Vegas, NE will draft a QB and there's zero chance the Bears trade Fields within the division. That leaves Tampa and Denver. Peyton won't go for a non-passing QB so that leaves the Bucs. How does the 89th pick sound?

I've thought a 3rd+ was the likely market, so it doesn't bother me. I'm still hopeful that it'll be more. That said, if the Steelers stick with Pickett, I don't think Tomlin will be the coach after this season. Other than some late game magic, Pickett is a far worse QB than Fields. I think they're in the game as well.

Poles would be dumb to avoid trading Fields within the division. Easy two wins.

I was told the Mike Evans signing meant that Mayfield was staying in Tampa?
