Week 13: BEARS vs. Green Bay Packers @ 1 or something

[Tim]

No team would be stupid enough to to give up a haul just to move up to 2 for a QB that the team at 2 doesn't want and will probably fall to them anyway

I feel like I should post a picture of Ryan Pace with a "Challenge Accepted" tagline or something.

i dont like your sense of humor

I don't care, I'll defend the logic behind that trade.

 

And if someone wants to trade up one spot for the Bears pick they should leverage other buyers for 3 thirds too.

[BigSlick]

This was the only game left on the schedule I actually cared about the Bears winning and whew....Fields injured and Mooney and Jackson out for the rest of the season is a huge bummer.

 

The smart move is probably sitting Fields through the bye and perhaps even for the rest of the year, but the meatball in me wants them to go all out to beat the Pack for definitely the last time they'll see Rodgers (even if he's just on the sideline).

 

What a bummer the end of this season is. Here's hoping they have a great off-season and can come back fully loaded next year, they at least have the most important guy on the field locked down.

Bears radio losing one of their Fields hype men it appears

Does this surprise anyone?

Starting to look at draft scenarios.

 

As the standings sit right now, the Bears would have #2, the Lions would have #3 and #13 and the Seahawks would have #4 and #16.

 

Geno Smith is an UFA after this year and probably not a long term solution anyway. Goff has 2 years left on his contract, but I don’t think any of it is guaranteed, and he’s obviously not a long term solution. Both teams will likely be looking at QBs in the draft.

 

So the Bears could be looking at a scenario where they could trade down to #3 or #4, pick up the extra pick, and still have the choice of the best non-qb option in the draft.

 

If that happens, Poles better call Carolina and see how bad they want a QB. Or another team who wants to jump ahead of Lions/Seahawks. They’re more likely to give you a haul.

Very admirable of Pace to check in on those teams but I think it's better if Poles makes the call

 

:wink:

sure, it would be nice to get (2) 1st round picks this year in a trade, but the Bears could always trade for (1) this yer and future 1sts too

Oh yuck.

Some news on Leatherwood:

 

 

Reiff and Borom have injuries and different levels of suckitude. I wouldn't mind Leatherwood getting a look at RT, especially if no Fields. I'd rather give Whitehair the boot (if he can't play C) and let Leatherwood play LG. Hell, put him at RG and give Jenkins another shot at tackle.

[Soul]

 

Oh yuck.

 

This is awesome news. It keeps the circus going full strength. I'm here for the entertainment now.

Maybe some USFL players could use a little extra "pre-season" reps.

Do not think it's possible nevertheless, wouldn't it be horsefeathering hilarious if this Bears team managed to beat the Packers? A team with the equivalent of a low D1 defense and a high school caliber offense, might be worse than any playoff loss for Rodgers. Of course, should it come to pass, Rodgers has the built-in I was playing hurt excuse.

I'd never wish injury on any player but in the end I'd rather the Bears simply hurt Rodgers and knocked him out of the game. or season.

In my statements above I was referencing a Bears team without Fields at QB, with Fields at QB it wouldn't be so hilarious if the Bears win. They would have won because of something Fields did.

 

My dream scenario - Justin Fields, with a shell of a defense, leads the Bears to a last minute one point win thereby, marking an end to the Packers and Rodgers dominance of the Bears. That is, in a few years we'll all point back to day Fields and Bears pulled off a miraculous win as the starting point of the Bears dominating the NFC North and the Packers.

I think my favorite scenario is that Fields leads the Bears on a late game-winning drive, only to allow a TD return on the ensuing kickoff.

 

Fields shuts people up by showing he "knows how to win", but we still solidify the draft status.

If the Bears end up at #2 and the Lions at #3 and #13 would they be willing to trade up one spot to be assured of either Young or Stroud? That would be ideal for the Bears, take Anderson at #3 and OL or WR at #13. This upcoming draft and free agency have a chance to be a real game changer for the Bears. It's a chance to build the foundation for a playoff contender 2024 and beyond, for the Bears the 2023 offseason is shaping up to be their most important and impactful this century. No pressure Ryan Poles.
