Bears vs Packers week 1

[Brian707]

Also I wonder if, with 3 QBs projected to go in the top 5-7, the Bears are somewhat tanking the season. No one would ever admit it and perhaps the closest Pace will come is admitting that it's a rebuilding year, but if there was ever a reason to tank, this season would be it for these reasons:

 

-aforementioned top QBs

-potentially murderous early schedule

-a sort of manageable way to cut Cutler after this season

-First round pick is already out for the season most likely

 

There's really no other way to land a franchise QB than the draft. There are a few exceptions but not many. if you want to get out of QB purgatory and give yourself a better shot of competing in the future this is probably the way to go.

 

 

 

 

As for the schedule I would have to say 0-3 is pretty likely. Perhaps a victory over Arizona though

#Bears WR Alshon Jeffery is progressing well from his calf injury. The hope is he’ll play Sunday vs GB & he’s making strides to get there.

25. Bears 5-11: A John Fox-coached team will not be embarrassed like this group was with regularity in 2014.

 

They won't be embarrassed, they'll just draft 8th.

Still only Packers -6.5, I should cash out my 401k and bet it all on this game.

Yeah I'm not a gambler, but I might need to get on that. Where do you guys bet on games at?

if a betting line seems too good to be true, it is. books aren't stupid.

 

you guys are talking wily nilly about giving away 7 points to a home team in week one like it's cake.

I just dabble, I've got money in at Bovada, but I think 5 Dimes is better.

Yeah, you get 3 for being at home. You don't think the Packers are 3.5 points better than the Bears? Maybe we'll get lucky and break Aaron Rodgers again, in that case I wouldn't mind losing the $20-$30 I'll actually bet.

read what you just said and think it over again

the way you're putting it, that means the packers are 10 points (or 9.5 now) better...not 3.5.

 

you don't typically make a whole lot of money giving points on big road favorites.

yeah, sorry, my brain isn't working. either way, yes they're 9.5 points better than the Bears.

Bovada

 

I know it seems easy, the -6.5 but that is a crap load of points for a road team in the NFL to lay. Especially in week 1, also the 50 o/u seems very high too.

I hate the 6.5 point spread. There's no way I can bet on the Bears at that line. It should be 8 or 9. At that point I'd be willing to take them in the pick-em league because they will probably be down 10+ at halftime and then kick a late field goal or something and lose by 6.

Maybe by kickoff it gets to 7 or 7.5

Think it started at 7.

How many times did the Packers offense punt against us last year? 2? I understand we've got a new coaching staff but we've got most of the same roster.

Team P regularly beats the [expletive] out of Team B. The spread is under a touchdown. Me likey.

Less than half their games end in double digit losses? No three game run of surrendering a combined 106 points? (As opposed to two last year).

 

Probably more frustrating than embarrassing this year.

32 of 53 players are new, including 9 guys in the starting lineup who started more than 2 games last year....and one of those is McClellin who's playing a new position. The other is Fuller, who wasn't a starter this time last year.

i keep forgetting i had hope of marquess wilson being a thing, so maybe he'll be a thing.
