    Not accurate. Vikings completed 8 of 10 for 80 yards against Fuller. He still gets a lot of targets his way. But Diggs wasn't as big a factor with Fuller on him because the Bears were actually trying to play real defense early in the game. That being said, Fuller is very good. Wasn't his best have, but acceptable. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

    Tyler Bray is on the practice squad. Keep an eye on the transaction wire. If they promote Bray to the 53, it means Mitch isn't playing. Of course, they could display some gamesmanship and not make any move until tomorrow morning.

    Call me crazy, but I like the Bears chances against either of the 2 MNF teams. The Bears are the type of defense that can hold both teams under 30. I think if you hold them under 30, you have a shot at beating both teams. KC especially, cannot make a stop on D to save their lives. KC and LAR have combined to be held under 30 points just 4 times this season. One of which was the Rams scoring 29 to beat the Packers by 2. The only other teams to hold either team under 30 were teams who don't have the offense to keep up anyway. Oddly enough, Denver held both teams under 30 (other was Arizona to KC). The Bears' ability to stop the run and make those teams 1 dimensional against a great pass rush and with turnover causing DBs makes those completely different games than either team has really faced. Both teams last night have their share of pass rushers and do enough rushing the passer. But neither team has the combo that Hicks and Mack have been, combined with the ability to cover at all CB spots with a ballhawking safety behind them. I fully expect the Bears to win a cold weather night game in Soldier Field in a few weeks. Playoffs may be a different story, but I like the chances on winning in LA much more than winning in NOLA.

    Almost 0. It was hurt on the Harrison Smith late hit, which happened on the final drive of the game for the Bears' offense. He only threw 1 pass after that (incomplete on 3rd down in FG range). But yeah, he's fine. He's going to play.

    Chase Daniel probably can't beat Detroit. Even if he can, there's still no point to him or any backup QB that has no chance of competing for a job. It's a guy you hope never plays.

    Jersey is right. It's the 2020 draft. Chicago Bears: DE Khalil Mack 2020 second-round draft pick 2020 conditional fifth-round draft pick Oakland Raiders: 2019 first-round draft pick 2019 sixth-round draft pick 2020 first-round draft pick 2020 third-round draft pick So we're looking at just the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, and possibly another 7th from Deiondre' Hall trade to Eagles in the 2019 draft. 2020 draft will be 2nd, Raiders 2nd, 4th, 5th, maybe Raiders 5th, 6th and 7th. It'll be scary not having that many picks in the upcoming draft, but Mack has already made that trade a "win" for the Bears. I think by 2020 the Bears will have a fair chance to be back in the black for comp picks so probably a sixth or seventh that year as well (which would be based on this offseason net losses) They'll definitely get a 6th and/or 7th round comp in 2020. They have a decent amount of FAs after this year that are likely to get contracts elsewhere (Massie, Amos, Lynch, Callahan are the top names) and don't have a ton of money to replace them in free agency. So they will definitely spend less than teams spend on their players. If Amos and/or Callahan leave and get top 10 safety/corner money, respectively, the Bears could potentially get in the 3rd-4th round comp area.

    Marvin Jones missed yesterday. Doesn't look promising for him to play Thursday. So, that'd be their best 2 offensive weapons....though Golladay had a huge game yesterday. The Bears will likely be without Adam Shaheen and Aaron Lynch, who both suffered concussions yesterday.

    Hicks was the best player on the field last night. Obviously, Mack and Jackson were also really good. And I think Leonard Floyd may be almost as big a key to the run game as Eddie Goldman has been. He doesn't allow anything to his side of the field in the run game. Excellent at setting the edge.

    The INTs he throws typically don't bother me as much as those scary ass throws to WRs that have DBs draped on them in the middle of the field. He's been extremely lucky not to have a handful of those picked off this year, as those are the type of passes that get bounced up into the air with LBs roaming.

    About how I imagine he'll play against really good teams. Dominate the bad teams. Mediocre against the good teams with God-mode defense, and I'll take it for now.
  11. raw
    I hate that the final score doesn't show how truly dominant an ass whooping the Bears put on them. I also hate it because it meant that important defensive players were still on the field late when they have a game in like 84 hours.

    Hicks with 5 tackles for loss and a sack tonight.

    Whew. Nagy scaring me now by NOT being conservative.

    The Roquan DPI was the criminal call on that drive.
  15. raw
    Meh. The Bears are their own stupidity + some questionable calls away from potentially having a shutout.
  16. raw
    Ha. They ran the same shitty play from the opener. LOL
  17. raw
    Was a hell of a throw though. Right on target, great pick, but really bad decision to throw that. Maybe if that was Robinson there's a chance for a catch. But to Gabriel, not a chance.

    For the record, I know that was a miscommunication with Rudolph.....but even if Rudolph did do the out-and-up that Cousins thought he was doing, it was still going right into a 2-deep safety look that wasn't even disguised at the snap (pointed out by Collinsworth).
  19. raw
    Remember when only Trubisky missed passes badly? Cousins has been wretched.

    That Alex Smith broken leg not only happened on the same day, for the same team, with the game ending in the same score as Theismann's. But both injuries happened right past the 40 for Theismann (own 41), and right before the 40 for Smith (opposing 39). And Romeo Crenell who is Houston's DC, was the Giants' special teams coach in 1985.

    Bears go from no SNF home games since like 1987 to 2 in 4 weeks. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

    Trubisky NFC offensive player of the week.

    It is, I just hope he doesn’t cost us a playoff game on a poorly aimed 35 yrd’r. As it stands, I’d have enough concerns with his potential that going for it on a 4th and 6 from the 35 yrd line instead of the “sure thing FG” would seem like a viable option. I just want him to be slightly better then league average. He’s not close to that right now. That would be a 52 yard FG. It's always a viable option. And history shows he will likely wind up slightly better than league average.

    Special teams in general is bad. Kickoff returns are a disaster with a 2nd returner now. Coverage units aren't great. Gave up an onsides kick. They've already lost a game because of that phase.

    This might make sense if the wind was pushing his kicks way off the mark. But he was hitting uprights. 4 times. honestly, it kind of reminds me of Goulds first year where he was missing (and missing a lot). That time, it was def the wind causing most of his misses. But if it isn't the wind or ball placement or a slick turf causing Parkey issues, then he just sucks. You can't tell me there isn't a viable replacement out there who can reliably hit xp's and higher than 72% on FG's w/o the field being the cause. You can't tell me that you saw the kicking between Gould and Parkey and still believer there is a viable replacement. Like Jersey said, he hit the uprights 4 times. Literally missing by inches (you can hit the upright and still make a kick, so this is literal). He was fine before yesterday (not good, but fine). He was bad yesterday, but not that bad. He'll likely be more like before yesterday than he was yesterday.
