    I mean, this is the same QB and playcaller that won 12 games last year. I know the defense gave them more short fields and scored points, but the offense last year did a decent job getting into the endzone, despite not a lot of yards. So, I guess there's hope there. There aren't many examples of a QB just "getting it" after 3 years. But ironically enough, the one shining example is Drew Brees. But he was really good his 3rd year (step back in 4th) and really took off obviously with a new team/coach. The numbers are pretty similar overall too. Brees (1st 3 years)- 21-21 record, 787-1282, 61.4 comp %, 8551 yards, 55 TD, 38 INTs, 202.5 yards per game, 6.67 yards per attempt. Trubs (1st 3 years)- 22-18 record, 785-1243, 63.1 ccomp %, 8347 yards, 48 TD, 29 INTs, 207.5 yards per game, 6.72 yards per attempt. That would be awesome but can we really hang our hat on pretty much extreme outliers? It's possible, Mitch aside, nearly everything that could go wrong did, the OL badly regressed, TE went poof, running game non-existent, WR's cannot catch the ball. If they can improve the OL and establish a running game we'll see improvement in Mitch.

    Or. even worse, sign Trubisky to an extension.
  3. gflore34
    Some WR's who can actually catch the ball might help as well. I know Mitch sucks, it was garbage time, blah, blah, blah but, how can he make a better throw than he did to Robinson on the last series? On the sideline, drops it perfectly between two defenders and of course, Robinson drops the ball.

    Gutless, dick-less, pieces of horsefeathers packed it in after the dumb ass running into the kicker. Does anyone on this team have any pride?
  5. gflore34
    I submit Pagano, at times, has been just as bad as Nagy, 3rd and long - let's sit back and give Mahomes, with speedy receivers, all day to throw. We've seen this over and over, what the hell is he thinking? Mack has been pretty much invisible, he's NOT going to get to anything ever this season, why not blitz?
  6. gflore34
    Just a slight overreaction on my part nevertheless, why the horsefeathers can't this team give Underwood 40 minutes game in game out? He mentioned that several times at the post game press conference - 40 minutes a game. Firing him would probably set the program back another 3+ years however, this under-performing [expletive] is getting real tiresome.
  7. gflore34
    Well, another shitty lack of effort loss to a terrible Missouri team for the Illini, much like the game vs. Miami. Underwood needs to fired right now, if not sooner, it's inexcusable to see such a nonchalant effort twice. You'll lose but, kids not trying or going 100% that's on the coach.
  8. gflore34
    I can't imagine Floyd is a candidate for an extension. Second on Floyd, think he's done.

    Its hard to know how much Helfrich is to blame. Wouldn't be surprised if he's kept... No one's going to be calling for his head. Even with Mitch bouncing back some, at the very least a replacement at QB coach seems easy. Maybe Helfrich takes some of the fall there too, though. Wouldn't utilizing Mitch' strengths from Day 1 be a big step in right direction? We know the OL needs some help but, one of the few positives has been the emergence of Miller and to a lesser extent, Horsted/Holtz, they may found something at TE.
  10. gflore34
    How much of it may be due to scheme change? The D has taken a slight step back that could be attributed to going from Fangio to Pagano, but Mack has absolutely disappeared Scheme change and the above are probably factors, however, I don't think the Packers, etc. can count on Mack being terrible again next season.
  11. gflore34
    I think you'll really see the schedule affect the Packers next year. Teams that win a bunch of close games and look like they do statistically typically see a big time regression. Was thinking the 49'ers might be a candidate for a big regression as well.
  12. gflore34
    This plus Mack will not be invisible, his ineffectiveness this season is combination of many things - him sucking, Hicks injury, etc. - but, it's not because of injury. He'll come back in a big way next year.
  13. gflore34
    What the hell? First of all, one of the INTs was a Hail Mary at the end of the half. Literally meant nothing to the final score. Secondly, the Bears have beaten 2 teams by double digits. One is in play for the #2 pick. There was 0 realistic chance they win that game yesterday by 10 points if they played next to flawlessly. You're probably correct, more a statement of frustration, fumbling, stumbling Bears can't get out of their own way, Mitch misses open receivers, they drop TD passes (Ridley), all the usual [expletive], is aggravating.

    https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201912150gnb.htm#all_player_offense - What a frustrating loss, Bears dominating every place except, of course, where it matters most, the scoreboard. If Mitch doesn't throw 2 int. the Bears win this game by double digits. Losers, giving away games, especially to the Packers.
  15. gflore34
    How has this Packer team won 11 games? The numbers suggest it's average to below average team, must be TO margin.
  16. gflore34
    It was a refreshing turn of events, game should have not been that close, Illini outrebounded UM 44-28, had 20 FT to their 6, what kept it close was the Illini' inability to consistently hit 3's or any 3's for that matter. Also, Underwood out-coached Howard - Illini message boards whine and whine about Underwood in over his head, etc.
  17. gflore34
    Finally the Illini finish off a game and take down Michigan. Maybe this Illinois team will turn out to be good, it was really nice to them throwing down dunks and blocking shots for a change. Michigan, while very good, may have been overachieving a bit thus far, they did not look like a top 5 team tonight. Could have been to the, get this, Illini defense. Michigan may regress a bit more nevertheless, still a tournament team.

    I may quit sports if that happened, there is no reaching the high of the next month again if everything happened to create that scenario. Playoffs or not, from an aesthetic point of view, it'd be great if the Bears beat the Packers and win out. My dream scenario for Sunday, late in the game, Bears holding a small lead. Rodgers, has the Packers driving for the winning score, goes back to pass, throws and Ha-Ha intercepts the pass for a pick 6. During this drive, until the pick 6, all the usual fluky, gypsy magic [expletive] occurs, Bears force several 3rd and longs only to have Rodgers convert while in the grasp of Mack on a tipped pass, etc. Afterwards, Packers lose out, miss the playoffs by one game.

    Utah lost guess they're out, if Baylor beats OU and UGA beats LSU, do think the committee will find a way to get Alabama back in? It's probably irrational on my part but, I feel there's a built in bias towards Alabama, they'll look for and find a way to add Alabama.
  20. gflore34
    it's easy to forget that the bears owned favre for his last few years. especially while he was with green bay. i can only hope we get to have the same satisfaction/slaying of demons of beating up on rodgers's carcass for a few years. we beat Favre up alot at the end of his career, in fact we pretty much ended his career via Wooten Wasn't that when he was a Viking? Think it was an outdoor game, winter, cold, snow.
  21. gflore34
    Didn't they beat them in '85 and opened '08 by shutting them out? You're thinking of 06, which was a much better year than 08. Correct, Rex Grossman had a good game.

    Didn't they beat them in '85 and opened '08 by shutting them out?
  23. gflore34
    Agreed, to some extent the loss vs. the Eagles was also a dumb loss. Those dopes suck and the Bears made them look good, that was a very, very winnable game.
  24. gflore34
    3.9 % wouldn't it take a few more than a six pack to get drunk? Seriously though is this brew any good? I've had other Red Hook brews and not been too impressed.
  25. gflore34
    Had this in the Cowboy thread - Getting Mitch on the move was obviously key to the game, it seems, for once, Nagy figured out how to put him in the best position to succeed. I would think the game plan should not change much vs. the Packers, their pass rush has improved but, their not so good everywhere else, very vulnerable. Bears get Hicks back do not how much he'll play nor what impact he's going have, at the very least, his presence should fire them up.
