Chitownhustla Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 One thing is certain, I'd like to see Mariani back as the slot receiver. Say goodbye to Royal. He looks pretty good today for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Glad to see Forte score in what is most likely his last Bear game. He has been a great player and a true professional. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitownhustla Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Now a 45 yarder to Thompson, offense looks completely different when we take legit shots down field. Wish we would have seen more of this all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Then the defense looks completely porous and lets Lions easily down field to score another TD. Just look undermanned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitownhustla Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Mariani is playing for a roster spot next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Amazing how we can have 5x OLinemen and Forte not stop 4 rushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Refs again, Mariani clearly hit after 5 yards (he was shouldered and actually spun around), but no call. Bears settle for FG. Still need a TD to win, so unless the defense can stop the Lions, it looks like that was the ballgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Gould just made his 33rd FG, new Bears single season record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Only Jay could turn a great year into a mediocre one. Those 3 picks really make his stats look ordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Gould 33 for 39 this year (84.6%). He made 7 in a row to end the season. But, please, go ahead and cut him loose . Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitownhustla Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 and INT #3, Ansah hits him again. 6-10. I wonder what Anseh did to piss Cutler off. He clearly was lucky Long came into to break that up. lol Oline is clearly a major NEED Defense is clearly a major NEED WR depth may be a need if Alshon is gone. Would like to see Forte back but I dont think it will happen. I really love or OC and DC. I hope we keep them both next season. Gase's name is being mentioned for every possible HC opening.

If you ONLY look at stats. I'd give Cutler a B+.....A-/A when you take into consideration the oline and WR he had to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 OLine is biggest need. I am surprised Cutler wasn't on IR by now. Mariani with game ball. New Orleans win gives us #11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 With who was available, and the situation with impending draft position, the game couldn't have ended any better for the Bears. The fought hard, showed grit, a few guys got to shine, and Gase showed he could take a really bad hand and put together a decent scheme. Two tipped balls for INTs, that's the difference. Just poor luck is all. Those kind of breaks don't go your way when you're starting three UDFA at WR and one 7th rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 One thing is certain, I'd like to see Mariani back as the slot receiver. Say goodbye to Royal. Surprisingly, I agree. Royal isn't worth the headache of his health issues, and Mariani, despite how atrocious he is at punt returning, is a decent slot receiver. He's one of those pesky guys with just enough speed, dexterity, and intelligence to zig when the opponent zags. He gets open and has relatively good hands.

We have the 11th pick in the first and move up to #8 in the second round. We would have been picking 16th if we had won. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually going to say none of the turnovers today were totally the fault of Cutler. Although there were three and one of them was in the red zone I didn't see how he was to blame. That first one was total bad luck. He threw it high and away so that hopefully the WR got it but if not it would have gone out of bounds. Instead the coverage had the hand and interceptor in the right place at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. Both INTs were just bad luck combined with good defensive play by the opponent. Now if I could just get you on board with the draft thing.
