That's the score I predicted elsewhere. And the Bears TD is definitely a meaningless 4Q score.

 

Amplify the start Fields bandwagon to level 10.

[WrigleyField 22]

Maybe drawing the Rams week 1 explains all of why there’s any controversy over who will start and Fields will go after this. Donald and Ramsey is a tough draw, I think Ramsey is going to have a huge year

 

Is this Mustipher guy Ourlads has as the starting C any good? Has the ship sailed on James Daniels at center? He’s a FA next year IIRC so here’s to a big season

Daniels has looked better at G. Mustipher was fairly competent at C in his run last year. Not a physical specimin at all, but has gotten good marks on the x's and o's of making line calls. It is their best combo for now. But I think they will need to make serious interior line investments soon, so hopefully both rookie Tackles stick and are good.

I forgot about Stafford being in LA, this changes EVERYTHING

 

(he beats the Bears big, 42-0)

Let Dalton get killed by the Rams and Browns. Then start Fields Week 4 against the Lions.

But if Dalton gets killed, Fields is his backup. So.

[Tryptamine]

I have no realistic expectations for a win, so a victory for me would be the offense putting up 14+ before garbage time and the defense keeping them under 30. I wouldn't put better than 50% odds on either of those scenarios.

Just watch, if Donald kills Dalton, Nagy will run Foles out there and the excuse will be veteran blah blah, experience blah blah.

Actually this is a low key interesting question if Foles will even dress most games since the emergency QB rule isn't in effect anymore. I don't think they've had a 3QB room since that rule went into effect.

He'd better not dress and take a gameday roster spot from someone else that can contribute

I didn't mean killed out of the game. And I accidentally saw some of that idiot Mike Greenberg on ESPN this morning. He was adamant that Fields should either be starting or the #3 QB for this scenario if Dalton does indeed get knocked out of a game. In that case he says Foles should go in.

Looking forward to a billion sideline shots of Justin Fields as the Bears come off the field after another 3 and out.

The Bears will win 4 games this year and be under mutiny conditions for much of it if Andy Dalton is the starter until Week 15.

 

He's bad.

[WrigleyField 22]

Presumably the he in "when he's ready" is referring to Nagy.

that horsefeathers just is not going to play out that way because dalton won't be competent enough for it to be possible. they would revolt.
