    I don't agree with regards to Foles, but def agree with regards to Pace Foles sucked. he was league average, at best

    NICE CATCH
  6. minnesotacubsfan
    This is a game the Bears have no business winning, but with all the injuries on the Saints side and Robinson playing, Mack likely too, they have a legit shot at pulling it off

    Not that it means much, Brees spreads the ball around like he's horsefeathering Santa Claus on Xmas eve

    I get the impression Jon would be FAR less entertaining then Cutler on instagram

    I couldn't remember exactly why I had the thought Osuna wasn't worth the paper his contract is printed on, so I googled his name for a reminder. Thread title updated.

    its too bad we wasted a 2nd on him tho Yea well Tom Brady was picked in the 6th round so I'm pretty sure those are more valuable. HOF QBs picked in the 6th rd? Yea, they definitely are more valuable then 2nd rd busts

    Is Poe good at stuffing the run? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30214145/dallas-cowboys-release-dontari-poe-due-weight-performance

    That is shocking. Do they just need to meet the spending minimum or something? Hopefully bodes well for the conditional pick (7th to 6th) the Bears got for him. It does. They'll get a 6th for him now. its too bad we wasted a 2nd on him tho

    The Packers and Saint's have bad enough pass defenses, that I really don't think its fair to say those are almost certain losses. I don't know what the Bears are going to do about Henry and they have a decent enough D, so I'm okay chalking that up to a L. Now I actually don't think 9-7 is an unrealistic expectation, but the Bears D is probably good enough to carry them a few wins alone, so it really comes down to whether the offense can be consistent or not (even if they're consistently below average). 8-8 is probably my floor, but I don't think 11-5 would be crazy shocking because they've got a lot of house money with their early wins they've squeaked out, and a couple bounces or two can quickly lead to that 2-3 W spread. IF they do go 11-5 I'm already ready to call them the worst 11-5 team ever though. with that schedule, I'd say 9-7 is our ceiling, 6-10 isnt out of the realm of possibilities and 8-8 or 7-9 seems likely. But I'm optimistic.

    Having Foles under contract next year isn't a reason to keep playing him; it's a terrifying reality that Pace has completely mismanaged this roster. No, but it's one of the deciding factors with 2 bad options. Name another, because it isn't convincing on its own.
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    Eh. Mitch got 40 games, Foles can get more than 4, especially since he's the one of the two that has a contract for next year. As for playcalling, it's not like someone else calling the plays will turn this into a 25 ppg scoring unit. Maybe you get to a point where 4th down conversions are made and you don't cut off half the field on the goalline, but this is still a talent issue. Having Foles under contract next year isn't a reason to keep playing him; it's a terrifying reality that Pace has completely mismanaged this roster.

    Have we seen him actually blame himself for stuff like this? I don't listen to his press conferences but from the tidbits I pick up I hear him say that he's so confused about what isn't working. I'm not saying playcalling is even the biggest reason they suck but it's definitely a legitimate reason. He does really weird stuff that makes no sense in the flow of the game. That said, on Sunday I watched Kingsbury call 7 straight run plays (I guess they could have been RPO's that Kyler decided to run on) during a drive that started with under 7 mins left in the game and his team down 10. They kicked a FG at like 2:45 left, and were fortunate to be able to get the ball back and score a TD, but it was really strange playcalling. So maybe he's not alone in making questionable decisions. except Foles is no Murray, thats a HUGE difference

    I'm more then done with Nick Foles. he's under performing Trubisky (although I realize he's played against better defenses) and is completely immobile. At least with Mitch we had the chance of a scramble.
  20. minnesotacubsfan
    lol
  21. minnesotacubsfan
    guys I'm beginning to think Foles is not the best possible choice that raw thrinks he is
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    we're getting killed on field position so what does CP do? run it out!
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    nice catch Kmet

    Watching Kershaws soul get crushed is always wonderfully fulfilling If the Dodgers choke this WS away, who will they blame?
