  1. Something just doesn't sound right.

    TRich Trade

    So what are your general thoughts on the trade? I think Indy got a steal getting someone drafted that high for what is almost guaranteed to be a late 1st rounder. If Indy was looking for an RB, I am surprised a team like HOU (Foster/Tate) or BUF (Spiller/Jackson) were not in on this type of deal. Cleveland was already bad and just got a lot worse, so I don't know what their motivation was to pull the string on a deal like this now, especially if IND was the desperate team. Why not a 1st and a 3rd to compensate for the draft position? To me, the timing and value of the trade seem a little odd. I would be pissed if the Bears did something like this, especially if the return value is almost assuredly not going to be as much as what you lost.
  3. Sounds good to me, looks like Defensive starters and Offensive depth is the plan. I guess we will have to see what Trestman's offense evolves into over the course of the year to determine if another TE is needed. I think we definitely need to address the Secondary with two of the first few picks (S and CB).

    2-0

    I don't think the call was necessarily bad except for the Maneri route, a throw to the center of the field that close has to go back to the edge of the end zone. You can't blame Cutler for getting the ball tipped since there was no room to put touch on the ball, however, he probably should've just thrown it away instead of risking a turnover.
  5. Just shows how shell shocked he really was, and Long and Mills are looking more and more like a steals everyday.

    2-0

    Cutler's QB Rating thru 2 games - 95.4, 10th in the League, ahead of the likes of Romo, Schaub, RG3, Brees, Kaepernick, Flacco, E. Manning, Big Ben, and Brady. Cutler's QBR - 71.8, 6th in the league, only behind P. Manning, Rivers, Luck, Ryan, and Rodgers. Some pretty good company.
  7. Yeah but they didn't play anyone who won a playoff game last year, so I don't know how relevant that is. I am just optimistic because we never win games like that, and we now won two and have a lot of room to improve. The offense looks ready to explode and this week might be the week vs a bad PIT team on a short week.
  8. So none of these teams will make the playoffs: Atlanta 47 Dallas 48 Detroi 49 Denver 50 Chicago 51 Houston 52 Green Bay 54 St Louis 55 Baltimore 55 San Francisco 57 Philadelphia 60 San Diego 61 and these teams will: NY Jets 30 Oakland 30 Tampa Bay 34 Carolina 36 Cleveland 37 Scoring is way up this year if you haven't noticed, so historical comparisons for pts (for/against) is sort of irrelevant. Pts differential and turnover differential are better indicators, but even now it is still too early to compare. Maybe after 4 games (25% of season) is the earliest time to compare. ( Also, like Brian said, Minny had a ST and Defensive TD which would bring us down to 37 (18.5 per game) which is much more realistic to where the Bears defense is at.
  9. Of note, this is the first time in that same window that we have started 2-0 playing against playoff teams from last year, which makes those numbers even more impressive. Cincy is a really solid team, and Minny is always right there with AP and their Defense. I wonder how many sacks were allowed after 2 games during those seasons? Cutler 2013 - 1 sacks 2012 - 9 sacks 2011 - 11 sacks 2010 - 5 sacks 2009 - 4 sacks
  10. @ Steelers W @ Lions W vs. Saints W vs. Giants L @ Redskins W @ Packers L vs. Lions W vs. Ravens L @ Rams W @ Vikings L vs. Cowboys W @ Browns W @ Eagles L vs. Packers L Almost a worst case scenario like above would have us at 10-6, but I was figuring 3 divisional losses, 2 NFC losses, and 1 AFC loss. However, we could easily go 12-4 and it would not be a surprise at this point.
  11. Now dont F this up Special Teams, Walsh has a leg on him.
  12. Wow what a ridiculous game. Forte with a fumble now?
  13. This is Jay's chance to redeem himself, bring the team down for a TD and win this game.
  14. A Red Zone INT from the 1 yd line, a fumble that resulted in a Defensive TD, and another INT. With a league average QB there would be at least a 10 pt swing if not 14.
  15. Horrible pass by Cutler. There is no way he is back next year playing like this.
  16. Horrible play call for the 1 yard line.
  17. Should be 14-0, we gave them 2x TDs.
  18. Bennett probably got the wind knocked out of him after a circus attempt on a ball thrown outside the back of the end zone.
  19. Wow Special teams are scaring the hell out of me. Defense looks pretty good when you can make a QB try to get a 1st Down by throwing underhand.
  20. Depends on who your other WR's are, how many you start, and how many are on your bench. I still believe he will be productive with Jennings gone, but Nelson, Cobb, and Finley are clearly the top 3 options in that offense.
