    1 1/2 games behind SF for the final wildcard spot, who the Bears have the H2H against. Of course, the Niners appear extremely likely to get better down the stretch. The AFC South winner will be terrible, but the most likely way a wildcard team gets in at 9-8 or 8-9 is if teams like Seattle or the Giants implode, and both are at least 3 games ahead in the loss column. Giants have a really tough schedule though. Seattle's one of the easiest on paper, but part of them collapsing would probably mean a couple losses to the Rams, who would then be in competition with a hot Bears team for that last spot. I felt like the no-call PI at the end of the Dolphins game kind of sealed the Bears fate. At this point I wouldn't feel confident that the Bears have any shot at the playoffs outside of running the table and going 11-6, or the Vikings losing Cousins for the season - soon.

    Utah State ≠ Southern Utah also I'm not sure Braxton has ever blocked for anyone

    I mean there it is as you quoted, completely different words! I read your post as saying you didn't think the offense needs to be upgraded. It's exactly how it reads whether you agree or not. I see a need for one more playmaking WR and at least 2 OLinemen. By adding 2 linemen, I believe you turn the line into a strength as they will also now have respectable depth at most of the positions. Nah, you are all misreading it and in my haste of getting through the day at work I just let it fester after years of trying to build an offense and failing at nearly every turn, the last 3 games make it seem like the Bears as a franchise has turned a corner. Tge offense isn't perfect, clearly it's not, everyone knows that. But the biggest change has been Justin Fields. The one thing the Bears have never had prior was a top flight qb It's horsefeathering exciting

    Hutchinson might want to try and avoid not twisting his ankles trying to keep up with Fields
  7. minnesotacubsfan
    I feel like one of the better signals of Fields development has been Kmet. 3 Td passes in the last 2 games. Kmet was always a question on his own development path, but it appears that as Fields gets better, so goes Kmet.
  8. minnesotacubsfan
    nope. they haven't drafted an OL 1st in a lonnnnng time. 2010, and 2011 in fact.

    who are the lions? (alright I'll stop)
  10. minnesotacubsfan
    It's not really about the Lions. The Patriots game was unexpected and seemed a little fluke-y. Dallas was fun, but loss. Miami was fun, also a loss. But this is as expected a win that's left on the schedule. I want a preview of what a good offensive team should do to teams like the Lions. And that's how they should be bad teams going forward I understand that point, but I also want the Packers coach on the hot seat, their children eaten...etc

    from the article: The injury did not affect Allen’s arm strength Sunday. His final pass, an incompletion to wide receiver Gabe Davis, was the farthest pass thrown in the NFL the past six seasons.

    they have a habit of doing just that dont they? eta: I'd be pretty stunned if GB didn't draft a wr unless they decided Love just wasn't it. Love isn't it. screen shot of their last 11 1st rd picks It's amazing to have Rodgers as a Qb and be that concerned with the defense on draft day
  13. minnesotacubsfan
    wouldn't it be fun if the Bears end up at like #7 and GB at #8, or even #6. just enough to make that trade more about screwing over the packers than it is about how Pittsburghs benefit by choosing Chi over GB It will be pretty amusing for me to watch the Packers pass over even BETTER obvious WR picks in the first round, next year. they have a habit of doing just that dont they? eta: I'd be pretty stunned if GB didn't draft a wr unless they decided Love just wasn't it.
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    I dont really feel that way about the Lions. The Packers on the other hand....
  15. minnesotacubsfan
    no I didnt I mean there it is as you quoted, completely different words!
  16. minnesotacubsfan
    The biggest piece to any nfl team puzzle is the qb. that appears to be solved with Fields. Whats dumb about that? they have the rest of the season to evaluate who they have around him and its not the "dumbest take" to suggest that they may end the season higher on those guys then they were even 2 weeks ago. clearly there are holes, I'm not saying ignore the offense in the off season You said maybe it doesn’t need to be upgraded. It very clearly needs to be upgraded. no I didnt
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    you mean the Lions right? jk
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    the offense almost doesnt need to be upgraded at this point. maybe accented, better interior OL perhaps, more time developing Fields/Mooney/Claypool/Kmet Thank Christ you’re not our GM. This is one of the dumbest takes I’ve seen on here in a while. The biggest piece to any nfl team puzzle is the qb. that appears to be solved with Fields.

    I'm currently tied for 1st (technically in 2nd) with Brady and Cousins at QB in a league filled with Bears fans. So pissed at myself for not picking up Fields when he was available (and picked up for $2) on waivers like 3-4 weeks ago. Fields is somehow available in my league where I'm in first place. I had half of mind to add him last week, but I have Hurts ans really just wanting to maximize other roster spots and not carry a 2nd QB. But hell, I'm going for it now. If I jinx him, sorry. Since it's a mid-weekend claim, p/up fields and play him as your rb. 175 yards!
  20. minnesotacubsfan
    I'd agree. With as much misdirection that gets schemed in today's NFL,tackles and guards need to be able to play both ways. How many teams play strictly drop back passing? Maybe TB? Do the Chargers (I have never seen Herbert play live, so I dont know what they do on O)? But going back the the offense in general, I think you are looking at Oline upgrades, RB help, and WR, but its a faaar cry from where this team was in week 2, or last year, or even 4 years ago. Justin Fields is just that good.

    I wouldn't mind losing a bunch of shootouts where the "future" guys all show out; then having the pick one before the packers and trading down to deny them the QB of their choice. Then they reach, overdraft a guy and get stuck in QB hell for ages. question I have for GB fans, wheres the Love already?
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    I only agree if it means Fields is wining games for us
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    the last 3 games remind me of Urlacher and Browns rookie seasons. You can see the talent they have, its a matter of getting the rest of the team up to their speed. I think the Bears will be all kinds of fun in the next few years
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    It doesn't really say that. It says the Steelers thought the Bears suck more than the Packers and their 2nd rounder would be a higher pick so they took that deal. May have been a mistake based on what we've seen the last few weeks. wouldn't it be fun if the Bears end up at like #7 and GB at #8, or even #6. just enough to make that trade more about screwing over the packers than it is about how Pittsburghs benefit by choosing Chi over GB
