Evidently Jonathan Taylor (Colts RB) just hit the market. Colts having a fire sale?

Screengrab from the socials. Interesting how similar the Bears and Seattle are.

Saw this clip on the socials from Colin Cowherd. Does a good job on justifying Poles getting rid of two 1sts for Simmons. And goes on about how he is fundamentally better than Michah Parsons. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1cLYBWe2q9/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Yeah it’s about complimentary football anyhow. Like how he said if he’s doing a double team inside then one of the other guys should be able to feast (looking at you sweat). And if the QB feels constant pressure, then he can’t afford to stand around in the pocket all that much. Besides that, Nelson didn’t own him at all . I’d say it was closer to 50/50. I’ll reiterate I’m not a fan of DA but I do know he’s been around long enough to do what is needed to get the best out of players. He may not always do it but a lot of times he does. Just like how Gordon has recently become a factor and I hope he schemes to improve on either JJs effectiveness or push Muhammad to start.

Monangai still a non-participant in today’s practice. ☹️. And apparently Loveland showed up on the report with a non-specific neck injury. 🤔 https://www.bleachernation.com/bears/2026/10/30/colston-loveland-inj-rep/

Was just watching a clip of him during his first press conference. One thing he said was (I’m paraphrasing) ‘I talked with Grady (Jarrett) and told him if I take the slot and open it up, you better get there. And to Montez, if Im on the end against a tackle, you have a free lane to a sack and better get it.’ Man that is awesome to hear from day one. This dudes a team player.

🎶Reunited and it feels so good…🎵

Ha is there film of him doing that before? They’ve been meeting each other twice a year now for a few years right?

It’s been determined apparently.

lol. Believe me I’ve seen almost all of them. Love this stuff. Looking forward to seeing the old version of Sam Darnold on Monday .

Cool. I appreciate those side stories. Question now is, who will wear 98?

Now THATS funny right there . I don’t care who you are. Was reading up on Wright and why he’s not starting in NY given he was a relative hot commodity after last year . But essentially it came down to their staring CBs, who are younger, are playing better . And ‘yes’ his coverage skills lack. But there’s no denying it he can make plays, at least in the right scenario. Maybe if he has assured help over the top he can be made into a temp fix for Johnson until something better comes along?

And if I heard / read correctly, the bears received a 5th round pick in the trade. That would make three they have now? Which, in theory, could be used as leverage for a player like Mack or even an older but decent CB who can contribute now?

As much as I love Mack, I’d say a CB right now might be a little higher priority. But honestly, I’ll take either.

Thanks to Mongo I’m officially a fan! This is awesome! Let’s do this! Edit: 2x first rounders! Yikes!!!

Fair enough . It appears now I’m slurring my typing…or just fat fingered on this dang phone. I’ll go with the latter. Isn’t Simmons a higher priced talent similar to Crosby? Interestingly enough I looked to compare them and didn’t realize they were from the same draft class but also this year Simmons leads on sacks 4/2 and total tackles 34/14. Impressive for an interior vs edge guy.

Because I’m less schooled on interior DLmen, how is Simmons a huge upgrade over Garrett? Age and length? Garrett was sold to us as a solution to the interior a couple of seasons ago but not so much anymore. And I’m aware a similar argument could be made for Mack vs Sweat.

Buckner’s out.

I was curious too and found this most recent article from SI. In short it speculates he could be back. Last week was his third week missed and had he needed to be out longer he’d have been out on IR and required to miss four weeks at a minimum. I suspect because of the extra days between games the team won’t be required to report injuries as soon? With extra time to recuperate, here’s to hoping he’s back. They’ll need all the help they can get. Chicago Bears On SIWill Kyle Monangai Return in Week 8? Latest Injury Update...Here's what we know about the possibility of Kyle Monangai returning for the Chicago Bears' Week 8 game.

Question now is, if sweat were to leave, who are the ends? Booker and??

Mack has been playing as a rotational piece and gotten 4(?) sacks so far. I have to wonder if he’s put into the Bears defense would he not help a player like Sweat get less attention? I suppose the same could be applied towards Buckner and Simmons but I’m partial to Mack. 🤷‍♂️

We saw how having the odds in your favor worked for Chicago going to GB a few weeks ago. Let’s hope the same plays out here. And yeah….cant believe we’re pretty much halfway done with the season. 😢

As an aside, Atlanta knocked off formerly unbeaten SF. As a reminder the Bears beat ATL at home a few weeks ago at their home. I’m not as concerned of SF as I once was. Let’s go Lions!

I’m almost certain we'll see this again down the road. And probably just like described. Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised it was Thuney. Imagine if he’d score and how cool for him that would be? Four SB wins but never a TD score until then? Pretty awesome salute to him if they could pull it off. I noticed a few times in the game they were doing that thing where they swap sides on the oline. One time I caught it live was Benedet and Wright and think it was on a significant gain on offense.

A reminder that Sweat will be returning for the Seattle game. I hope that to be a positive and noticeable improvement. Shortly after that game the NFL trade deadline will be looming. Is there a chance Chicago makes a splash before of after they play the Seahawks?
