  1. Honestly, they deserve the Alex Smith injury way more than the Redskins did. How they managed to get 2 decades of 2 QBs is beyond enraging and believable. It wouldn't pass for a legit movie script if pitched in Hollywood.
  2. Week 13 at NYG - W Week 14 vs LAR - L Week 15 vs GB - W Week 16 at SF - W Week 17 at MIN - W If the Bears can beat the Rams, they are legit Super Bowl contenders.
  3. I just feel like the offense needs a strong run game to continue the success. The pessimist in me says sooner or later it will be opposite of Shoop. The defense will dare the Bears to run by dropping more into coverage and testing Trubisky's decision-making processes. And unless the Bears figure out how to actually maximize Howard's running style, that could pose a problem.
  4. Pathetic that they didn’t get Howard the rock much, much more. That should have been the game plan. I am happy Daniel didn’t ruin the game, but why they didn’t lean on the run a ton more is a complete mystery.
  5. I actually think Daniel is pretty good, given the right system. I think he could flourish in the current system we have, kind of like Alex Smith looked in the KC offense. Without the KC offense, Alex Smith is Alex Smith. And put a great talent in an offense like that, and someone like Patrick Mahomes torches the league.

    Draft RB

    We can't guarantee Kamara is Kamara on draft day. You're saying teams already have two starting RBs, and they're taking 3rd RBs in the 2nd round? Which team did this? Regarding Cohen, remember that I was the first person to point him out to the board. Aside from patting myself on the back, I'm pointing out that I agree with the overall idea of BPA trumps all, if that player pans out. If, however, a 9.9 BPA player trumps a 9.8 player who is in a dire position of need, it hurts twice as much when that 9.9 turns out to be a 4.9.

    Draft RB

    I want absolutely no part in any RB in the draft. It makes no sense whatsoever.
  8. Agree. I LOVE the progression and improvement Trubisky has shown. He's pretty lethal on mid-range and underneath stuff. Tom Brady has proven a career can be made on such passes. However, when the opportunities present themselves, they have to be exploited. Trubisky is still struggling with 1-2 really bad decisions a game, and a few poorly thrown long balls per game. Right now I'll take those flaws, but they could hurt the Bears eventually.

    2019 Draft Needs

    It should come as no surprise that I 100% agree with this. The next year's draft should be all about making Trubisky as comfortable as possible, and limiting how much he is FORCED to run. 3rd: OT/OG 4th: OT/OG 5th: S/CB - Depending on who re-signs 7th: BPA
  10. Preach. More than once I've yelled "Take a knee!" on kickoff returns.
  11. How do you figure? Trubisky had two in the game already. And he threw 2 or 3 other really bad passes into coverage. If I recall correctly, there were two in the EZ alone.
  12. What I said last week still holds very true about Trubisky: He has a bad long ball that sails more often than not. He has happy feet in the pocket and looks to run far too often. He makes a handful of horrendous passes each game. On the third item, it's just a matter of time before he has a 4-5 interception game. For whatever reason the other teams are dropping gimme interceptions.
  13. Co-signed. What I like the most is that if he throws a check-down or a pass for less than 10 yards, he can thread that needle with deadly accuracy. However, he has serious flaws right now with three critical things: The long ball. He floats it up and overthrows his receivers. Could be a mechanical issue. The internal alarm clock. He has the propensity to run at a greater rate than I like. If the pocket is there, sit in it and find a receiver. Decision making. Honestly, there should have been 4 interceptions by the Dolphins. If not more.
  14. I didn't watch the game, but you should know the screen pass is the one time receivers are allowed to block beyond the line of scrimmage before the ball is caught. It's also when linemen are allowed to go downfield before the pass is thrown. As long as the pass is completed behind the line of scrimmage. Also, I did see the foul on Floyd. That was legit. You're not allowed to bodyslam people like the 1960s NFL.
  15. Agree. I'm not down on his decision making so much. He's done well there. But he's sailed a few passes, which will lead to INTs, and the poor decisions he does make seem to be very poor.
  16. Same. Only, Cutler proved he could be a stud in Denver, but got to Chicago and got worse because he was behind a horrible OL for several (most) years with the Bears. Right now, Trubisky hasn't even proven he can be Cutler. And to be quite honest, the comparison is scary for one other reasons: interceptions. Trubisky could easily have 2-3 more interceptions this year already. He sails a few per game, and it's just a matter of time before one of them is a crossing route that goes into a Free Safety's hands. Also, the out route he threw this past week was a stupid throw, barely complete by inches. It was awesome to be sure, but it was also the type of risky throw that leads to more INTs.
  17. Um...Watson's stats are better than Trubisky's (other than comp %), and Watson looks FAR more confident as an NFL QB. Trubisky still looks like a frantic rookie a lot of the time.
  18. Yeah, forgot all about Brandon Marshall. Fuller does not have the upper hand. Marshall does. It wouldn't surprise me to see Marshall get 10 catches.
  19. I don't believe that "if he throws it there will be an interception"-BS. Everyone saying that must have been away for a snack break when Trubisky threw a rocket into triple coverage and completed a ball to Robinson in a window smaller than Chris Collinsworth's sphincter after a night with Aaron Rodgers.
  20. The Bears have continually let me down over my lifetime, and it's usually worse in primetime. I hate to be like that, but it's just the truth. Russell Wilson likely has a field day throwing to guys we don't even know. Our offense can't keep up. 28-20 Seahawks

    Josh Gordon?

    I knew before I even clicked that y'all would say no almost as a whole. I understand risk aversion, but talent is talent. He's a headcase, but he has NFL ability to produce. Maybe the Browns cut him because they're the Browns and they don't do anything right? If he doesn't cut the mustard, or even gives the coaches a small bit of attitude, cut his ass. There's virtually no risk in trying to pick him up. And maybe it lights a fire under Kevin White's ass, and the Bears finally get return on investment for their first rounder.
  22. What I know is this: That's a game we should have won. The Bears could have fixed a lot of things and solved their problems, but there is one problem that really bugged me. How in the world were the Bears collapsing the pocket every play in the first half, but suddenly they couldn't create pressure in the second half? I submit that a helluva lot more holding was going on, and not being called. On the TD the packers had to score 17, the RT 100% held and wasn't called. Later there was a play where Rogers rolled out and Mack had just beaten his man...but the guy reached out and grabbed a shoulder pad that yanked Mack back, as well as dislodge his jersey from the shoulder pad. Just enough of a hold, it had a material effect, and should have been called. Glass half full here, but I loathe Green Bay and laughed when Rogers went down.
  23. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I love the addition, but hate the subtraction. We can justify it however we want, but the reality is we actually give up two first rounders and something. Yes, we were going to draft an OLB early next year, but it's still lost years on a rookie deal, less money on a rookie deal, and a guy who is going to want to break the bank ASAP. Ryan Pace is definitely going all in at the moment. The D was top 10, and should be top 5 this year. If the O steps up to middle of the league, this is a team that can threaten to go all the way.
