Bears week 10: Bye

[jersey cubs fan]

Couldn’t come at a better time. Need some guys to get healthy.

On one hand, I know they need it.  It's well timed after this 3 week run of primetime games.

On the other hand, as a fan...I hate a week off.

Rome better be locked in with a Jugs like Happy in the batting cage.

I’m such a big Rome fan. Love the way he plays. He’s such a great route runner, great blocker, great 3rd down target and he seems like a genuinely likable dude. But man oh man the TD drops have become such a thing. How many does he have this year? There’s four that come immediately to mind for me—two against the Bucs, the one against the Pats with the accompanying OPI, and the wide open bobble against Philly. 

 

I’m optimistic he figures it out and I like that Caleb keeps going right back to him, but it’s been frustrating so far. Hopefully getting that first TD of the season on Sunday night is the cure.

Needs more sticky on his gloves

The most wonderful time to have a Bye. We're likely looking at getting Monangai back, and everyone who's been beaten up but played through injury can heal up. 

Poor Caleb is probably looking at 2 weeks of Ben Johnson maniacally running tape with him, given that last game.

Look at it this way: We get to sit back and watch some NFC North games and root for losses and not have to worry about us at all. At worst we end up in a tie in the division when we get back to things.

Less than 3 hours to go until the deadline and today is pretty much silent across the NFL.

I was really critical earlier, he's turned a corner, the drops will become less of a factor in the 2nd half of the season.

Watch out for those last second trades that aren't announced until an hour after the trade deadline. 

Chargers now seem inclined to make some deals, but has that ship sailed? Spanos deserves all the bad that happens to that organization.

What are the Chargers doing? Mack would have been a solid rotational DE here and the fact that they kept him is crazy.

I don't know if it's belligerence or stupidity or both, 0 - 8, maybe, will get 2 wins and they just pass on acquiring more draft capital.
