Yeah, if a blown assignment, then that is on the players.

Yeah, I can't believe how many times our guys missed the stunts. It was like they never played the position before. Once your guy rubs off of you, you have to know someone else is coming around.

and Hurts only had a QB Rating of 64.6 against the Bears Def. If not for 3 super EZ rushing TDs, his overall stats would be crap. He only completed 59.5% of his passes and 113 yards were on two plays. So he had 35 other attempts that netted 202 yards (5.7 Y/A).

CAR is currently drafting 8th. Would you take #8, a 2023 1st rounder, pick #39, and DJ Moore for the #2? That allows you to still draft in the top 10, you get a top 10 2nd rounder back, an extra top 15 pick in 2023 and DJ Moore at WR. The other team is IND, currently 6th. Would something similar and Buckner be worth it? So #6, a 2023 1st rounder, pick #37 and DeForest Buckner for #2 be worth it? The player is basically replacing another 1st rounder like SF did when they traded up for Lance.

I would definitely draft one in the 6th or 7th. Competition is always good. He is slowly becoming less reliable and waving off kicks under 50 is terrible. He doesn't even do kickoffs, so his value is extremely limited at this point. Bagley kicked better than him, the Bears should've just kept him.

Baltimore is now in the 1st Wild Card slot. If they lose their WC game, they would be one of the best teams to lose, so that would be pick #23 or 24. If they win in the WC and lost in the Divisional round, it would be between pick #25-28. With Miami's pick voided in the first round, the Bears 2nd rounder will be between #54-59. So potentially as good as 2 and 54. 52 spots between picks is like missing an entire round. If you can get multiple firsts and another second rounder, you have to really consider trading out of #2. With HOU destined to take Stroud or at least a QB, the #2 pick is going to be super valuable because teams are going to want to leapfrog both DET and SEA for a QB.

Velus Jones is not going to be anything. I would not be surprised if he was cut in the offseason. At his age, they touted this maturity and work ethic. The dude is a WR that can't catch and fumbles, which is 50% of his job. It doesn't matter how fast he is if he can't catch or when he does, fumbles. The Gordon that was drafted finally showed up. He was all over the place, INT, fumble recovery, and some great tackling. This is the guy everyone expected. I hope he finishes the season like this. I have been mixed on the coaching staff, but what they are doing with this roster is quite impressive. From last year, the defense lost Mack, Hicks, Quinn, Smith, and Jackson and almost beat the best team in the NFL. 2 INTs and a forced fumble was awesome to see. That has been missing the last few games. On the flip side, the offense WR corps was down to Pettis, Jones, Pringle, and Webster and somehow held a lead and almost won. Leatherwood and the O-Line as a whole struggled. The same thing that plagued him in LVR are still there. He needs more work. They need to sign at least 2x top end FAs this offseason with some draft picks. Fields now has 1K rushing yards on the season and needs 207 in the last 3 games to take the record, that is 69 yards per game and he had 95 vs Philly, so it will be possible. I still don't understand how Fields doesn't get the calls. There were two plays that should've been easy flags. First Suh literally punch Fields in the side of the head on a tackle, and there was another play where Fields got sacked and the dude landed right on top of him.

Almost had a chance at the #1 pick if HOU beat KC. Shocking it went to OT. The #2 pick looks like a very solid lock. Even with 1 more win, still locked into no worse than the #4 pick. Right now it looks like 2 or 4. 2. CHI 3-11 BUF @DET MIN 3. DEN 4-10 @LAR @KC LAC 4. ARZ 4-10 TB @ATL @SF 5. LAR 4-9 @GB DEN @LAC @SEA

Bears lose, Broncos winning. Could lock in #2 pick in an hour.

People have been concerned about Fields not finishing with a scoring drive, well he got one today. No turnovers from him, he made plays despite a terrible O-Line and literally playing with WR4s and WR5s. Whitehair looks done. Leatherwood not the answer at RT. I suspect we need 3x OLinemen this offseason, a new LG, C, and RT. Hopefully Jenkins is not seriously injured, then that would be 4 new guys needed. It will be nice to get Herbert back next week. Montgomery was solid, but I would rather see Herbert get the touches over Ebner and Evans at this point. Gordon's stock way up, Velus Jones stock down. What do you do about Jaylon Johnson? Supposed to be a shutdown corner and AJ Brown gets 8 receptions for 160+ yards with Johnson in coverage. Crazy stat, Brown and Smith accounted for 307 receiving yards, all other players accounted for 8. Most of those were against Johnson and Jones.

Gipson was bear hugged on a 3rd down incompletion before the missed FG, no-call. Would have given the Bears better field position. Then right before the last TD run, the Eagles had two guys in motion (TE in motion to right as OL-eligible jumps up and goes in motion to left) before Pennel jumped offsides. Pennel gets called, not the illegal motion.

Now we root for Denver, let's Ride!

Another winnable game. Hurts has some nice touch on the outside deep balls. Fields needs to learn/practice that. Expected to lose, they had the lead and were competitive all game. Despite injuries, the team played pretty good. I am most excited about Gordon's performance. He really needed a game like this. I hope Jenkins and Sanborn are ok with only minor injuries, those are 2 players we need in 2023.

Great play, I love that he continues to look to pass on his scrambles. Sucks that the refs suck, game should be tied right now.

Refs are terrible. Eagles had two guys in motion at the same time, but they call offsides on Pennel on same play? Rewatch that one, unbelievable. How do they miss that? Results in another easy TD, completely changes the game.

Now Fields is hurt, wtf. Just shut him down for the season.

Velus was not rated that high. These were the guys on the board when he picked Jones: Bernard Raimann - OL Daniel Faalele - OT Cordale Flott - CB Dylam Parham - OL Abraham Lucas - OL Christian Harris - LB David Bell - WR

Velus Jones is like Kindor Vildor on offense. All the dude does is make mistakes.

Velus Jones, what a waste of a draft pick. What was Poles thinking?

Exactly, it is there all game. I still don't understand it. With the way they run the ball, the quick passing game is lethal.

3 Takeaways and still losing.

If the O-Line can't block, where is the quick game? Getsy is clueless, I am telling you. You can't have 5 and 7 step drops and long developing plays with this O-Line. Watch the routes, there are no crossers, slants, etc.

Damn now Sanborn? These injuries are just piling up.

I have really soured on this coaching staff. Flus and Getsy very suspect on offense, Flus and Williams on defense. They literally blitzed a Safety leaving no one in the middle of the field for one of the easier TD draws you will ever see.

Fields with another Superman run, holy cow, this guy is off the charts.
