  1. Nagy, in his conference on the bears website today, said it likely would be an injury driven decision not that anyone can believe him nowadays
  2. you guys really misunderstand the federal landmarks program. the money cant be siphoned off to pay for political deals they'll use jersey and ticket sales for that
  3. I'd keep the secondary intact, they are young and good. draft oline, find a taker for Smith, Hicks, and possibly Mack. Dump Travathian, Quinn. If you can draft the Lance, then try him. need a rb in the mid rounds, and a speed rusher, #1 wr next year Secondary isn't really that young. Skrine is 31. Gipson is 30 and a FA. Fuller will be 29 next year. And I don't know why the hell you'd trade Smith. This is his 3rd season and he's younger than all but 5 players on the team, and all 5 of them are rookies. He's a building block. Also, the big issue with blowing things up is that nobody wants Quinn and pay him 24Mil over the next 2 years guaranteed for his 1 sack of production. It would also cost the Bears more for him not to be on the team than it would to keep him. Also long shot that anyone wants a 30+ year old LB in Trevathan. I'm sure someone would take Mack, but you aren't getting anything near franchise changing for him. You're probably looking at a package similar to either of the Ngakoue trades (2nd/3rd and a 5th). I'd trade Smith because he might be worth the most of any of them outside of Mack and we need draft picks. As for he secondary, Skrine and Gipson specifically are not that critical in the secondary, if you want to find others to fill their rolls go for it. Fuller still plays at a high level, and Johnson and Jackson are studs. As a position group, they are probably the strongest and most likely to stay in tact moving forward based on their level of play and their ages. the quinn deal sucks, I didn't realize it costs more to cut him. Cut Danny outright
  4. Thank you Theo! Best of luck!
  5. sure, but its a slippery slope before you're just going to the opera

  7. Soldier Field playing Nuns and Hoses on Mack's int might be the play of the game
  8. I bet it looks horsefeathering terrible, everyone will tell you its horsefeathering terrible, but desperate for rewarding taste you'll try anyway. And on brand, it will be horsefeathering terrible
  9. I have a hard time believing any head coach who calls plays willingly gives it up
  10. I know you are frustrated, this isn't entirely accurate. 1) to compare Nagy with Reid is....not reassuring. Reid's been in the league for decades and failed multiple times before he won the SB. Nagy COULD do that too, but if he follows Reid's trajectory, it won't be with us 2) Pace didn't stabilize the franchise with Fox, Fox was not Paces hire iirc 3) Paces drafts have been a little here, a miss there. I wasn't comparing Nagy to Reid, it was moreso to Pederson. Fox was Pace's hire. Might not have been his choice only, but it was his hire and we can't just throw out those 3 years. I've been under the impression that Pace was forced to hire Fox from McCaskey or Phillips, was that not true?

  12. What happened to the play action and rollouts
  13. terrible run call, but Robinson should have had the 1st
  14. Matt Miller had a mock this week with all 4 in the top 9 (Lawrence, Fields, Lance and Wilson in that order). Bears got Mac Jones at 18 (Kyle Trask was picked ahead of Jones so 6 QBs went top 18). Maybe it's best we start playing with no lineman so we can get into that higher group come draftday
  15. I mean, it's a standard. I think the McCaskeys appreciate that they made a playoff run and are in the hunt this year after being pathetic for a few years. its pretty stunning how a few missed draft picks can absolutely tank a team. I liked Trubisky when they drafted him primarily because as raw pointed out, he was a consensus top QB by the "gurus" (trading up was foolish, but a different issue). Its caused me to wonder how experts rate these guys, and why they can be so wildly off. Was there anyone saying Mahomes was the guy back then? if so, is that the pre-draft source to follow?
  16. nah...but Foles may start to seriously consider retirement leaving us w/o an experienced QB next year
  17. Rofl. Just roll out the full JV offense and run power I all game. How? Who do they have that can block???
  18. How many o-linemen have the Bears lost in the last 3 weeks, 6?
  19. Ryan Pace for President
  20. ahhh 2020, you're the gift that keeps giving. watch him win it
  21. Only if that bridge is trying to get the number 1 pick in 2022. Well if that's the bridge they're going to do a lot worse than Foles even. Top 15 with all your trade chips in tact will have to do. I don't think Foles has ever finished a full season. If he starts next year, there's a decent chance we see Bray. IE, there still a chance at #1! (just draft the NDSU guy and I'll deal with it)
