  1. If, and, given the Bears injury history, this is a mountainous if, they can keep the OL together I think it'll drastically improve over what we've seen. Even last season, there was a point the OL was starting to come together then everyone got hurt. Look at Vikings last night, lost two OL and McCarthy was pressured and sacked, I think, six times by Falcons team not known for pressuring the QB. Even the Bears would have been able to generate pressure under such circumstances. I know the tendency is condemn everything as hopeless, still, there will be improvements.
  2. In looking, I guess, NFL teams do not or, are not allowed to practice today. Appears first practice is Wednesday maybe, that's for the best, I can't think Ben Johnson has cooled off and still isn't raging. At the very least, come Wednesday, start as early as permitted and I would grind their asses until they get the huddle, break and play off perfectly. No more pre-snap penalties, I would hold Caleb responsible, next one, they'll be grinding again.
  3. At this point I'd take winning a quarter or maybe, even a half of a quarter.
  4. Speculation by me, groin and hamstring injuries, it's the Bears, I think there's a very good chance they're done.
  5. I'm done with Swift and I hope Ben Johnson is as well, time to give Monangai a chance.
  6. Bears actually ran the ball well today, 5 ypc, it was that horsefeathers Swift fumbling the ball that was a kick to the balls. I've no doubt they were on their way to scoring another TD before that dipshit' fumble.
  7. Hey, I'm frustrated to, thus far, it's been a total horsefeathers show. I'm still not ready to write off Loveland, you can, but, I think he's a tad better than you think. And UMFan is correct Loveland was better overall to Warren in college, look at the numbers.
  8. Warren had one big year, a great year, but, Loveland dwarfed Warren in production in all other years. Let's just ignore that because he's started slowly and assume Loveland' a bust.
  9. Yeah, let's just write off Loveland because rookies starting slowly NEVER happens to anyone but Bears' rookies.
  10. Things will probably get worse before they better for the Bears although, I can't imagine what'll be worse than today. Is it Bears, I've confidence they'll find a way to go lower. I still think they'll be improvements on the offensive side of the ball and I'm not ready to write off Loveland and Burden as no talent busts. They were pretty horsefeathers good football players at the highest level. They didn't instantly forget to play football the moment they became Bears.
  11. Ironically, as I said above, I don't think Odeyingbo was that bad today, he got penetration and was held quite a bit.
  12. It's a groin injury, it's the Bears, I don't think it a stretch to assume he's done for the season. When, in the last 20 or so years have the Bears ever had a injured player successfully heal and come back in season? I'm sure it's happened, I think.
  13. I don't understand what the horsefeathers is going on, last year it was OL dropping like flies. This year it's any possibly remotely effective defensive player gone - Terrell Smith, Austin Booker, Jaylon Johnson and TJ Edwards - are all done for the season.
  14. And they had the advantage of playing a Bears defense that let WR's get open by 20+ yards. Even Caleb would have completed those easy TD throws.
  15. Yeah, this wasn't a case of Caleb being inaccurate, it was receivers dropping balls that hit them in the hands. It's more like 23-30, 270, 2/1.
  16. Odeyingbo was not the worst thing about the Bears defense today, he made penetration on several occasions almost getting to Goff while being held.
  17. Does the Bears' DC know what a blitz is, nothing, they're not even threatening to blitz.
  18. Him and Jaylon Johnson are so, so, done for the season, they're toast.
  19. As high as I was on Odunze he just drops too many balls.
  20. That was not a penalty, he got pushed into Hutchinson.
  21. Add TJ Edwards to the list of Bears defenders done for the season.
  22. I think it's safe to write him off for most, if not the rest of the season.
  23. True enough, and this is what literally bailed out the Vikings the whole horsefeathers game last week.
  24. Ditto for the Lions.
  25. Oh, I don't think they've much of chance to win this game. A good showing by offense, Caleb not looking like garbage for long stretches should be enough to signal they're headed in the right direction.
