Mooney drops 2 straight passes that hit his hands. WTF.

On the Fields fumble, it was that stupid 4 stick routes play. All receivers run 4 yards and turn around. Easy to defend, never works, and without a roll out, he is trapped in the pocket.

and of course, Tucker makes the kick. Huntley is 11-12 for 75 yards. At least 7 of those are towards Vildor. Andrews has 5 receptions, he is their only threat. Bracket him, come on Bears.

I am sooo sick of Vildor. How about we cover Andrews with someone else. Just put DHC on him all game. Come on Bears this is embarrasing. Huntley just made Deon Bush look like Eddie Jackson.

Of course, Huntley gets lucky as the ball rolls out of bounds, Fields gets hit and the ball squirts out right to the defense. He had no time on that play.

The offense needs to stop all the trickery stuff. Get back to Play Action and running the ball. Stop the lateral running, Baltimore is great with pursuit, so the sideline to sideline stuff is not going to work.

Yeah I like Romo's commentary. There is way too much space in the running lanes. 4 yards on every run. All they have to do is keep running up the gut.

2 sacks on 2 drives. He almost had a forced fumble on the first one and got one on that one. He is going to get a turnover by the end of the day.

It reminds me of the hitters that do the HR Derby. Their swing is messed up for the rest of the year. Same for golf after a big hitter competition. Now Santos' kicking groove is off because he probably strained too hard on that long kick in PIT, ugh.

3rd and 5, toss to Montgomery for a loss. Why take the ball out of Fields hands? Two bad calls on that drive. Then Santos misses from 40. Now missed two in a row.

Can we stop the Wild Cat already, Fields can already do any of that plus he can pass. The Wild Cat takes away an option. Waste of a down, especially after the long pass to Mooney.

Two great plays there for Quinn, the Edge Rushers are going to have to compress the pocket. There is no reason we shouldn't dominate this game. Jackson was literally 90% of their offense. So their top passer, rusher, and receiver (Brown) are out. I don't care who we have out there, this has to be a win.

Tyler Huntley starting. If we lose this one, box up the franchise.

Brown is out for Baltimore and Jackson is questionable. Jackson was downgraded. The main threat is Andrews now.

The Bears went all in for 2018 and got Parkey'd. I don't know if they were thinking about 2022 when they had a chance to trade for him. They have an out after next season if they don't trade him. Injured players are very tough to trade, so if anything, I can see him as a cut/trade candidate after next season.

Here is the thing, all they have to do is sell majority, keep 49.9% and let someone else take over and still collect more money than you will ever need.

and to think, he was throwing to Julio Jones for a big chunk of his career. Rodgers has had Adams, and Stafford had Megatron.

This made sense based on the Irvin move. Still crazy that they kept him on the active roster for a month before deciding to do this. The team was basically playing with less players just to carry him on the roster. Same with Trevathan. I am assuming you are going to see a few more "vets" go on season ending IR in the next few weeks to justify bringing up some younger players to evaluate.

Can't hurt, but now it seems like Mack may be out longer, which begs the question, why didn't they put him on IR and gain a roster spot for the last month? So after all the years in SEA, then OAK, Irvin had his most sacks in Carolina, two years ago at 32 with 8.5 and his first safety of his career. So he has at least had recent success even though he hasn't played since an injury early last year.

This is going to be an extremely interesting matchup. Baltimore has the #1 Rushing Offense in the league, but their leading rusher is Jackson. On the flip side they have the worst passing defense in the league allowing 283 yds per game. Foles or Dalton as the Scout Team QB (playing as Jackson) is really going to prepare our defense well lol. Mack hasn't played in almost a month and was still not practicing on Wednesday. Hicks was out, Jackson was out. Trevathan was out. ARob was out. I am hoping this was more of extended rest to get them closer to 100% than anything else. If the Bears can contain Mark Andrews and limit the huge chunk plays to Brown, they have a chance. I am hoping for another solid showing from Fields, but in the end the Bears defense won't do enough. Ravens 31-27.

Yeah, that's the thing. Stafford has won anything and has gained more than half his stats from garbage time and most of his stats while trailing (throwing more often). Fun Facts: Flacco has never had a losing season when he played at least 12 of his team's games. Newton has only 1x 4000 Yard Passing season, his rookie year. In 55 less starts, Dalton has more 4th Quarter Comebacks (23) and the same number of Game-Winning Drives as Aaron Rodgers. Fitzpatrick has only 1x winning season in his career when he started more than 10 games (lol), 10-6 with the Jets in 2015.

I just did top 5 in Active Passing Yards, he is 7th. Flacco is 6th (lol), Fitzpatrick 8th and our own Andy Dalton 9th, and Cam Newton 10th. It goes quickly to mediocre.

What are your thoughts on the next crop of HoF QBs? Is the bar going to get tougher with the inflated stats? The top 5 active QBs in passing yards are Brady, Big Ben, Ryan, Rodgers, and Stafford. Obviously, Brady's HoF status is cemented, but it is interesting to see where the other guys fall in. Big Ben is 2nd in active passing yards (62K), is 2-1 in SB's but in those two games, his WR's got the MVPs (Ward and Holmes). He hasn't appeared in a SB in 11 years. He has the numbers and post-season wins to get a jacket but its been a long time since he was "elite". Not many QBs have 60K passing yards and 2 SB wins though (Brady, Manning, Big Ben). Matt Ryan is 3rd in yards (58K) and is 0-1 in SBs after the infamous 28-3 debacle against NE. To me has been a nice stats compiler but I don't know if he is HoF worthy, thoughts? I say no. Rodgers is 4th in yards (53K) and is 1-0 in SBs and interestingly enough, in his only SB, his offense scored less than the opponent's and they still won thanks to a Pick-6 from his defense. I thought that was a really interesting fact. So Big Ben could've easily been 3-0 if not for that one play. For stats, Favre has 71K passing yards in a different era, and Rodgers still has 4K less passing yards than Eli Manning who has been out of football several years. If Rodgers doesn't at least get to another SB AND passes Favre, does he get in? #2 in the franchise in passing and only 1 gifted SB win? If you took the names off, Ryan and Rodgers look very similar. So if Ryan wins that one, he is in. That is ultimately the difference. Rodgers gets a lot more love in this department as one of the GOATs. Stafford is 5th in yards (48K) and has never won a playoff game (0-3). Most of his stats are garbage time or while trailing when the other team is in prevent. I feel like he would need to win more than one SB to be in consideration. He is the Vinny Testaverde and Drew Bledsoe of this era. A ton of stats and that's it. Thoughts? I assume Big Ben and Rodgers are in, Ryan is not, and Stafford gets in if he wins at least one and ends up top 3 in stats.

I know they made this list age-based, but I don't know if that trend really matters anymore. Just pick the best HC. We don't need the next McVay or Shanahan, neither of them has won anything to date. Also on the list: Bears passing game coordinator/QB coach John DeFilippo, 43 Bears DC Sean Desai, 38 I didn't expect to see any Bears assistants on the list to be honest.
