Chapter 730: Zhu Qiang Beacon Fire
The Chicago Bears were taken advantage of.
In last season's draft, he was deceived by Kansas Chiefs manager Veach. In the end, he paid for the Kansas Chiefs' generous draft strategy, and he chose with the second pick——
Trubisky.
Last season, the record was only five wins and ten losses, and the team was struggling on the road to overthrow and rebuild. Since the 2012 season, there has been no record of more wins than fewer losses. The last time they qualified for the playoffs was in 2010.
Trough, darkness, long and endless in sight.
Especially among the rivals in the same division, the Green Bay Packers have Rodgers at the helm, the Minnesota Vikings spent a lot of money to welcome Cousins this season, and the Chicago Bears' hopes of revival all fall on Trubisky's shoulders.
Obviously, Trubisky is in a difficult position, especially compared with the strong performance of Levi, who was ranked No. 3 in the same class. Trubisky has been getting further and further on the road of being whipped and imported, and there seems to be no chance of turning around.
Missing Levi was bad enough; with the initiative in hand, even if Mahomes was not selected, and even Watson was not selected, the Chicago Bears front office was immediately compared to the New York Jets.
disaster.
However, this offseason, the Chicago Bears front office finally made a wise decision——
Nagy, the offensive coordinator who shined last season, was poached from the Kansas Chiefs to serve as the team's head coach.
Like Peterson, who left the Kansas Chiefs for the Philadelphia Eagles, Nagy, who arrived with the Chicago Bears this year, also showed his talent.
In just one season, the Chicago Bears have been transformed.
The season record is 12 wins and 5 losses, returning to the playoffs after nine years.
Moreover, in the final game of the season, the Chicago Bears defeated the rival Minnesota Vikings in the same district, helping the Philadelphia Eagles led by his former colleague Peterson to advance to the playoffs by stepping on the shoulders of the Minnesota Vikings and taking a break at the same time. The Minnesota Vikings, who dominated quarterback moves in this period, became a joke in the league.
Last season, the Minnesota Vikings advanced all the way to the NFC finals; this season, the team's front office boldly made moves on the offensive team, poaching Cousins from the Washington Redskins with a shocking contract, and heading towards the Super Bowl.
The result...was the same as the Jacksonville Jaguars, missing the playoffs.
Shame on Dafa.
The Chicago Bears were proud and became the focus of attention throughout the league.
Najib is indispensable.
It is precisely because Nagy and Peterson have proven their abilities in the National League that when they look at the defending champion Kansas Chiefs again, their eyes are slightly different.
After all, the pattern of this year's American League has proven that the Kansas City Chiefs' victory in the Super Bowl last year was not just luck.
Next is the American League.
The No. 1 seed, AFC West champion, Kansas Chiefs, thirteen wins and three losses.
The second seed, AFC East champion, New England Patriots, 11 wins and 5 losses.
The third seed, AFC South champion, Houston Texans, eleven wins and five losses.
The fourth seed, AFC North champion, Baltimore Ravens, 10 wins and 6 losses.
Wild card.
The fifth seed, second in the American League West, Los Angeles Chargers, 12 wins and 4 losses.
The sixth seed, second in the AFC South, Indianapolis Colts, 10 wins and 6 losses.
Chaos.
You can tell at a glance that this is a mess. Since Manning retired, the American League has been undergoing a complete reshuffle. The situation in which the Iron Triangle dominated the league in previous years is gone forever.
First, the Pittsburgh Steelers are out and the Tennessee Titans are out.
Two teams were eliminated from the playoffs last season. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans both won nine games. In the National League, the Philadelphia Eagles advanced with nine wins, but in the American League, such a record was not enough.
Of the two teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers may be about to change.
This season, "the impact of Bell's strike" has been a topic throughout. The Pittsburgh Steelers have always been tough, refusing to respond to Bell's demands, showing an uncompromising attitude from top to bottom; but now with the team missing the playoffs, The uniform team's strategy is bound to be controversial.
The storm will not really begin until after the Super Bowl is over.
Second, the American League West Division's bayonet is red.
The Los Angeles Chargers' record is even better than that of the New England Patriots, but they have to play in the wild card game because of the suppression of the Kansas City Chiefs. This is undoubtedly a very cruel thing, but that's the rule.
From the side, we can also see the fierce competition in the American League Western Division this season. The Kansas Chiefs can stand out and still show their heritage.
Third, among the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, and Indianapolis Colts, who can become the dark horse?
During this offseason, the Baltimore Ravens scooped up Lamar Jackson with the 32nd overall pick in the first round, which proved Harbaugh's wisdom and unexpectedly led to the replacement of old and new quarterbacks in the Baltimore Ravens.
Watson, the quarterback selected by the Houston Texans last year, finally proved himself. This quarterback who targeted Levi from the beginning to try to prove his ability finally took the opportunity to show his talents this season.
The Indianapolis Colts became victims of the farce of the New England Patriots coaching staff. After being let go by McDaniels, the team's front office staff held their breath, but despite being furious, they calmed down and looked for a solution. Frank Ray Frank-Reich stepped forward.
Leitch has a short coaching resume. He only entered the league in 2006 to seek a coaching job. He served as an intern coach with the Indianapolis Colts. After staying with the team for six seasons, he began to work for different teams in the past two seasons. Served as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, Peterson's right-hand man, and the man behind "Philadelphia Special".
During the crisis, the Indianapolis Colts extended an olive branch to their old players. Leitch had not yet served as a head coach in his career, but he still accepted the challenge.
Under Leitch's leadership, the Indianapolis Colts stumbled into the playoffs; but now, the situation is completely different, and the playoff situation has begun anew.
The above-mentioned three teams were all fought out from the dead. They fought bloody battles to fight their way out. One, two or three were killed with red eyes. Each team has the potential to become a dark horse, and the risk factor is difficult to predict. .
However, when it comes to the playoffs, they all have their own goals.
On one side, Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens and Watson of the Houston Texans both targeted Levi.
Jackson, "I'm eager for a rematch with Levi."
Watson, "I'm not the same person I used to be, and Levi will see that."
The grievances and resentments that have been inherited from the NCAA are in full bloom in the NFL.
If this is the NFL's backs, Goodell warmly welcomes it.
On the other hand, the Indianapolis Colts have their eyes firmly fixed on the New England Patriots. They are very, very looking forward to having heart-to-heart conversations with Belichick and McDaniels on the field.
The sword is sharpened and the people are united.
The problem lies here.
Whether it is the New England Patriots or the Kansas Chiefs, they have a bye in the first round. Whether it is revenge or confrontation, if you want to get in front of them, you must first pass the test of the first round of wild card games.
That is to say, they will kill each other to the death first.
When the time comes, there will be revenge for revenge and injustice for injustice.
