I Got Greedy

When the Bears traded for Jeffrey Simmons, I was over the moon! I could not believe they traded for the perfect player for them. He is exactly what they needed. But that was a couple of weeks ago. The Bears wisely made the move in time to get two games out of the All Pro defensive tackle. So I really shouldn’t be disappointed right now. But I am.

It’s kind of like why you don’t give kids their Christmas presents two weeks early. They might say they are fine not opening anything on Christmas morning… but that’s a lie. Come Christmas morning they will feel sad even though logically they got to o play with their toy for two extra weeks.

So the trade deadline came and went and the Bears got nothing… except the perfect all pro left tackle they got two weeks ago.

I got greedy. I dreamed the bears would also get more defensive line help and a cornerback. But alas. They spent all of their capital two weeks ago.

Ok that helped. I just needed to get that out of my system. Am I sad they didn’t add more today? Sure. But they have Jeffery Freaking Simmons who can wreck an entire offense!

I’m going to forget about this and go see Godzilla. When I come out hopefully I’ll be in the mood to be thankful for what I have. And what I have is a complete football team to watch.

Pará, chake, que encima fuiste a ver Godzilla después de comerte el bajón del deadline, jaja. Yo también me hubiera ilusionado con un corner más, pero tenés razón: Simmons solo puede wreckear una ofensiva entera. Eso de los regalos de Navidad dos semanas antes te juro que es tal cual, ndaje.

Coming back to any tournament or match can only happen after a lot of hard work. Every team will work hard. Every team's player will work hard. Then it will happen. We congratulate the winning team

The Christmas presents two weeks early analogy is spot on, you got the perfect piece in Simmons and still ended up wanting more on deadline day.

Getting Simmons two weeks early and still feeling shortchanged at the deadline is the most Bears fan feeling there is.

I get it, you land Jeffery Simmons and then the deadline comes and goes and you're still wanting more. Two games out of an All Pro tackle is a heck of a start though. Go enjoy Godzilla, and that complete football team will still be there when you get out.

They are still at the top though. Sad thing is, the rest of the NFC North is right on their heels. I mean if playoffs were right now, all of the NFC North would be in with the wildcard slots I think. It's crazy.

That Christmas morning analogy is honestly spot on. You get that shiny new toy early and then suddenly forget you even have it when the actual holiday rolls around. Enjoy Godzilla and the defense.

Perhaps that was it—they bet everything on that player and went all-in to get him. The Bears are undoubtedly a strong team, capable of at least reaching the conference championship; though, as you mentioned, with just a little bit more, they might even be the favorites to win the title. What you said about the "new toy" is spot on—naturally, you always hope to land something more, but perhaps the asking price for those other players was simply too high.
