The offensive line is holding us back, otherwise I agree I mean, we know what the OL is at this point. They're playing as expected. Mitch missing that wide open throw to Miller by inches, Miller not getting the 2nd foot down. Kwit not coming up with the pick. Terrible call by the refs.

I feel like the Bears are outplaying the Packers. Only score, Packers shouldn't even have and got on a 4th down. The Bears have been close to making a ton of plays, need to make one now and get into the endzone.

Hicks is playing like a monster too.

I can’t see the Bears winning if they punt in their territory. Pinning the Packers deep feels worthless to me. Yeah, you're probably right. Nothing to lose at this point.

Great throw and catch. Terrible call to go for it.

Blatant

And the punter's an horsefeathers now.

SEriously? That's the play call on 3rd and 4?

Damn. Hicks re-injured it looks like

Well that's a terrible horsefeathering call.

Bears haven't blocked Kenny Clark since at least 2016

Run the ball. Set up the playaction. Run with Trubisky. Basically the same as last week. Trubisky will have to make throws in man coverage to win this game. Most likely to Robinson vs. Jaire Alexander (a really good CB), and to Miller against whoever they choose to cover him.

have we heard anything on whether trevathan can possibly come back this year? i don't think he's been IRed The Bears IR'd Roquan today and replaced him on the active roster with.......a LB. The Bears have Kwitkoski, Pierre-Louis, Iyiejbuniwe, and Woods as healthy ILBs on the roster. Replacing Roquan with a ILB, likely means they don't anticipate Trevathan this week. I don't think they'd bring in a guy to the active roster if they planned on making him inactive (which he would be if Trevathan was playing). Guessing this is a week-to-week thing. If they lose this game and the Vikings and Rams win, maybe they shut Trevathan down. But if they are still in it and he can play, he will.....just not this week.

Love the Hoosiers' bowl selection. I wanted the Gator in particular, because it's played in January. Not that it means a whole lot anymore, but this is just the 3rd January bowl game for IU. And getting what is historically a football school was ideal for me, as it can't hurt with recruiting to beat a team from the South on a national stage.

Qb- Trubisky. Add a better backup QB, that is enough of a threat to push Trubisky, but not so much of one to cost $10M/year. RB- Montgomery, Cohen. Bring Nall back, because he's cheap. But I'd also like an actual RB. If Monty goes down, ugh. Probably use a very late pick here again. WR- Robinson, Miller, Wims, Ridley, Patterson. Cut Gabriel and save some money. Would like to replace his speed somehow though. Vet FA should do. TE- I'd actually bring back Burton (not big money savings to cut) and Shaheen (camp body at worst). Holtz, Horstead, Raymond compete for spots. Love to use one of the 2nds and get a top 2-3 TE in the draft. But may be able to wait for mid rounds. OL- Whitehair, Daniels, Leno and Massie aren't going anywhere for $$ reasons. I'd spend big on a RG. Upgrading OL is the easiest, most realistic way to upgrade this roster. Better OL = better pass protection, better run game. Brandon Scherff, Joe Thuney, Andrus Peat big names potentially available this offseason. DL- Only stand to lose Black Nick. Should be cheap enough to re-sign. If not, still have Goldman, Hicks, RRH (who is a RFA), Nichols, and others at back of roster and practice squad. ILB- Smith. I'd see who takes the cheapest contract between Trevathan and Haha. Kwitkoski a backup plan here. Josh Woods and Joel Igieybuniwe are long-shot athletes that I like, but maybe special teamers only.....need a vet here if no Trevathan. OLB- Mack, Floyd. I know a lot of people don't want to pay Floyd 13M for that 5th year option next year, but may not have a choice. Upgrade at pass rusher would be similar in cost to Floyd. And still need depth. Not sure what to do here. Too many other needs for a high draft pick here. Too much money spent on the position to justify another FA. CB- I think Prince gets cut w/ 13M price tag. Toliver, Skrine, Shelley, and hopefully a high draft pick compete opposite of Fuller and for slot. S- Jackson, and the rest are FAs. I'd try to re-sign Haha. If not, I'd take Bush back for cheap. Maybe both, but Bush may want a chance to get more PT if Haha is back. Vet FA and late draft pick likely here.

It also took at least 3 points off the board (2nd & 7, from the 19) when the team was down 7, after allowing several 3rd down conversions on the previous drive while losing its best ILB. You can hold the INT against him while still acknowledging he played well. I'm willing to excuse some bad throws/INTs, but rarely are they ok in the red zone. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk where are you getting 3 points? With Piniero, that's not a given Should have said "at least a shot at 3 points". No FG is a given anymore for basically anyone. But every NFL team has every right to expect at least 3 points inside the 20. I'd rather have a chance at points than turning the ball over.

We need more viable edge rushers badly. Leno and Massie are locked in with their salaries already. I'd prefer a vet pickup there. The draft class is strong at edge and we could get something really nice to complement Mack. I've seen enough of Floyd to know that he is an utter JAG. Keep grooming Bars and hope he can supplant Massie next year at some point. edge was the other position of need I was thinking about, but if we are looking at replacing Massie with a project, I want more options. Also, Leno sucks, contract be damned. That guy gets blown up nearly every damn play. This is actually not true. He's rated as the 4th most effective pass blocker in the league. https://twitter.com/jennifermleno/status/1199373754494787585?s=19 And eye test, he's the best run blocker on the team. Montgomery had a lot of success going left last night. Trubisky's TD featured him as the key block. I think his pass blocking looks worse because he does look bad when giving up sacks/pressure. He flat out gets trashed on his bad plays, but they are actually pretty few and far between overall. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Yeah this is really a big deal. Short game has been frustrating because it's been Robinson going to the ground to make a catch or Cohen reaching behind and losing speed to turn the corner. Nobody cares if Mitch throws short if they are turning into Patterson's play. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ok this is when you have to NOT allow Dallas back in this game. Make another stop, then get more points. Best offensive showing of the season shouldn't end with only 24 points. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
