Bears week 9: vs Tampa SNF on NBC

[Brian707]

First place Bears. I hope the Vikings win next week vs Green Bay or at least punch Love in the mouth

1) wentz looks like a civil war veteran out there

2) i love that my friends are starting to call this the “Curse of Sam Darnold” back there

I legit feel bad for the Vikings defense. Their defense can take them to the Super Bowl but they are stuck with Wentz at QB.

Nah they got another sack of eggs Brosmer

Then Poles and co really left some meat on the bone for a contending team on a rookie qb contract. Thomas too. Could have filled their roles with warm bodies and gone after more immediate help. 

Have you taken a peek at the Bears schedule so far this season? They've faced some of the best defenses in the league in their first 9 games. Bradbury may not have been the top choice, but I think he's performed pretty admirably up to this point. 

Sucks that Dahlman retired, but I think the Bears did well enough to address a position that wasn't supposed to be a need.

Kyler wasn't getting it done. I thought Wentz would be better than him, but that was a complete disaster. Yay! I have no idea what Minnesota does to fix their QB room, but I'm okay if they keep rotating these same clowns in and out. Brosmer is just more of the same.

At least they have a decent kicker. The kick off rules make it fairly easy to get into field goal range these days.

Poles is adding a CB today, right? RIGHT?!

Trying I'm sure.  Seems like the Jets are being kinda weird though, so I'm not sure the Nahshon Wright thing is happening.  And I'm not sure that the Bears wanna pay the price for an impactful CB after spending picks on the Simmons deal.

It's amusing to me that after last night's loss by the Vikings, the Bears went from playing at Carolina in the first round of the playoffs to hosting the Packers.  That's not really an upgrade for a 3 spot jump in seed.

Gonna need to get that #1 seed

Which is why I am not that concerned about winning the division. Unless they are the #1 seed, is it really better to have to face someone like the Packers or Lions in Chicago, or have to go to Carolina or NY? I do realize winning the division pays in the next round with a home game assured. But that first game will be tougher for the division winner than it will for the first or second WC team.

Something very satisfying about seeing another team struggle with historically Bears related problems. A Super Bowl level defense and a complete dogshit offense and you can’t find a QB? Damn! Sucks for you buddy!

I hope the Vikings can’t figure out a way to entice the Raiders to part with Cousins, because otherwise I think that whole dream is done man.

I don't think the Raiders are trading Cousins.  A trade for Daniel Jones would be extremely entertaining though.

Still don't understand the trade of McCarthy, O'Connell' trying to mold Murray into something he isn't and never has been or will be, Wentz is cooked.  It must have been something beyond the playing field?  Because McCarthy has the tools to be what O'Connell is looking for at QB.

I think KOC has now definitively been proven to be a fraud as far as being some QB whisperer.  How many QB failures has he had now?  I still don't think JJ is good, but he's certainly doing better in NY than he did in MN.

Not sure what it will be, probably something minor, but I think the Bears make a move today.

Don't know the origin of this perception, believe every time he's had a decent veteran at QB they've done well.  Doing well with a decent veteran QB doesn't necessarily make one a QB whisperer.  There's a real good chance by Christmas Day they'll have 6-8 losses.

as a consummate JJ McCarthy hater, I don't think he has the potential to do anything. I think he sucks. I will remain patient until he sucks again. This is the tao of the hater. It always pays off in the end. 

I hope we can finally dispense with KOC "QB whisperer" nonsense. They've had a bunch of awful idiotic QBs, and they've Bears-ed their way to a few good seasons. Maybe KOC can massage bad QB play into something manageable, but his assessment of QBs is insanely bad. Some of the worst talent at the position I've ever seen. He let the only good one go. Well, good one and a half (Cousins still has something in the tank clearly).

I thought McCarthy rubbed everyone in the organization the wrong way and that was the bigger reason for getting rid of him

I think there was some of that but I also think the old GM drafting him against KOC's wishes was at least as much of a factor.  Trading him feels like it was a power play for KOC.
