    Remaining Schedule

    Holy crap was I wrong, I had us at 6-5 after this game, what a difference a few weeks make. I didn't see us beating Minnesota coming off a bye or DET on a short week, and we did both. That's pretty crazy and shows we are more than just a fluke team. Any team would be hard-pressed to win that many division games in 11 days, and 2 in 85 hours. Week 13 - Giants (win - 9-3, Giants playing better but coming off an emotional game against Philly, trap game for us after extended break and Rams looming) Week 14 - Rams (win - 10-3, Rams in Chicago without Kupp, if we can limit Gurley, I think we win) Week 15 vs GB (win - 11-3, GB still hanging on to a WC chance and we kill their playoff bid with a win at home, Bears get payback for Week 1) Week 16 at SF (win - 12-3, SF playing for draft position at this point) Week 17 at MIN (win 13-3, this one will be tough, especially considering they will be vying for a WC bid and would more than likely face us as the 6th seed (assuming CAR gets 5th vs NFC East). So this game will come down to who we want to face if we are locked in at the #3 seed. My hope is that we beat the Rams and they somehow lose another game allowing us to tie them at 13-3 and get the 2nd seed based on tie breakers. GO BEARS!

    Trubisky QB Rating

    Exhibit B, Pat Mahomes. Compare Trubisky's Miami game (71%/316yds/10.2/3/1 for a grade of 56.9) which is still 6 pts worse than any Mahomes games this year. Week 5 vs JAX, he threw for 313 yds, 57.9% Comp, 8.2 YA, 0 TD, and 2 INT, yet his score was a 69.0 (12 pts higher than Trubisky's MIA game). Come on man, this is complete BS. Take a look at some of the KC games, or Mahomes highlights, at least half of his big plays, his receivers are wide open.

    Why PFF is so inconsistent? Using pretty much any normal or advanced metric or grading system, and even the eye-ball test, it is clear that Mitch is playing much better this year. However, PFF has him playing worse than last year with a passing grade 17 pts lower. Come on. This is complete BS. Just look at some of the PFF grades vs the NFL QB Rating. They have the Miami game graded lower than the Minnesota game, yet in the Miami game, he had over 300 yds passing, 10.2 YPA, 3 TDs to 1 INT. This is where their grading system fails IMO. They have no idea what the play call was or if there was a mistake, if it was on the QB or receiver. On the flip side they had Adrian Amos as one of the top safeties last year, but no one on here really saw that or felt that way based on his stats or what we saw during the season.

    2006 vs 2018

    What are the odds of that? Same opponents and thru 11 games, you have beat the same 8 teams and lost to the same 3 teams?

    2006 vs 2018

    I didn't know this, but we have the exact same opponents as we did in 2006 (our last trip to the SB) and so far we have lost to the same exact 3 teams. Check out the similarities: -- 2006 / 2018 -- 1. DET 34-7 / 34-22 2. MIN 19-16 / 25-20 3. SEA 37-6 / 24-17 4. BUF 40-7 / 41-9 5. ARZ 24-23 / 16-14 6. NYJ 10-0 / 24-10 7. TB 34-31 / 48-10 8. DET 26-21 / 23-16 9. NYG 38-20 / 10. STL 42-27 / 11. GB 26-7 / 12. SF 41-10 / 13. MIN 23-13 / Losses 1. MIA 31-13 / 31-28 2. NE 17-13 / 38-31 3. GB 26-0 / 24-23
  6. I am wondering if Nagy is just saving him for later in the season, reducing the number of carries now so he has them in the tank in crunch time. It would be nice to have some fresh legs in December.
  7. Howard had 1.9 yards per carry, if we gave him the ball more, we would've probably lost. Howard can't make guys miss, and unless he has a hole, he is not very effective. Half the time he is running into the back of O-Lineman, when a simple cutback would be a huge gain. Look at Blount, who actually did that a few times. I could care less how we are winning, especially in a game like this. There are zero style points in football, just play to win.

    We play the Rams in two weeks, and depending if they lose a game between now and then might be for a first round bye. If he is not 100% for the Giants game, I would have no problem starting Daniel again with a full week of practice.

    Just realized

    lol Chile, good stuff. I thought you just realized we won as many games so far this year (8) than we have in the last two seasons combined under Fox. Wow.
  10. Huge win, amazing determination by this team. 3 wins in 11 days, all division wins, incredible. Eddie Jackson is a playmaker, high football IQ on perfectly timed pick 6. Then Kyle Fuller seals it with interception in the end zone (thanks Matt Stafford). Daniel did a solid job, no turnovers for him was enough. Missed a few throws but on a short week, he did a great job. 2 TDs and no picks.
  11. Burton singlehandedly losing the game for the Bears. A fumble in our zone that resulted in a Lions TD, an easy drop, and a stupid holding penalty. Daniel looks pretty good, a little concerned that our defense won't have energy to finish this out.
  12. Mitch holding bag with right arm, if injury was bad, he would not be doing that. So that is a good sign for the Giants game.
  13. Yeah, Lions still without Johnson and Jones, and Tate gone. I am thinking 27-17, our offense is a TD worse than last game and our defense allows 5 less points. Daniel throws for 200+, 2 TD's.

    Trubisky QB Rating

    Looks like Trubisky will be out for Thanksgiving with Bray being called up. The only good part to this move is that Cooper was cut. Hopefully Daniel can come thru and play like he did in the preseason.
  15. I looked back at the game and it seems that he was hurt on an earlier run where he made an awkward slide with his right arm down. He kinda slide over his arm and it ended up underneath and behind him. I think he hurt it there, probably just a sprain. More than likely not any structural damage, just sore with some reduced ROM. I would assume that he would end up being a game-time decision to just let him rest and get treatment up until that point. No reason to reaggravate it to test it before then.

    Trubisky QB Rating

    I know it was crazy. He should've had 5 INTs and 3 fumbles which would've been the most turnovers in modern football by one player. It's just funny that people are celebrating the game because it was the wild wild west with no defense. Fun to watch, but if I am a KC fan, I don't know how I feel. When dudes are not wide open, he looks like a completely different QB. I agree that he is destined for boom or bust status, a bunch of TDs and INTs.
  17. As teammates smack his helmet in celebration!

    Trubisky QB Rating

    Hopefully that MNF game (which was epic) quells some of the national media narrative. Mahomes had some big plays to completely wide open receivers, but with the game on the line, he completely choked and threw back to back INT's to end the game when all they needed was a FG. He also threw a Pick-6 earlier and lost a fumble that was returned for a TD. He had 5 turnovers total, tying Nate Peterman for the most turnovers in the last few years.
  19. It was from the Harrison Smith cheap shot near the end of the game. Hopefully just a precaution.

    Trubisky QB Rating

    Somehow Trubisky pulled off a QBR of 85.3 on SNF, and is now 3rd in the NFL behind Brees and Mahomes. http://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr/_/type/player-week
  21. Here we go! Another division game and a chance to go to 8-3 with a few extra days of rest after Thursday's game. Detroit is decimated with injuries and will more than likely be without Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones. They already traded Tate, so they will literally have two receiving threats, Golladay and Riddick. No other player has more than 12 receptions or 100 yards receiving. There leading rusher will be Blount (who I believed burned us a few years ago). Payback is a bitch. Sweeping the Lions in the season series on Thanksgiving would be sweet. I heard this is the quickest two-game span in NFL history (from the end of the Sunday night game until kickoff on Thursday morning). If so, that's crazy too.
