Per score they signed Andy Dalton. Welp, that’s a letdown. 1 year $10 Mil with another 3 in potential incentives.

We have the edge in every offensive category except rushing yards per game. STL is horrible at 3rd Downs, which is our weakness on defense. This would be a great game to clean that up. On the defensive side, they have the edge in every category, though I was surprised at how close we were against the pass and in total yards. I would love to see Langford split out wide from the backfield to get some mismatches against LB's. He just outdueled Gordon, now let's do it to Gurley. Bears 20 - Rams 16

Bushrod-Long-Garza-Slauson-Mills. I think this is a real possibility of happening.

Halfway through the season, we are now 3-6. It's not where most thought we'd be, while it was with others. Sitting in year two of a massive rebuild, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Poles: he's brought over 60 new faces into Halas Hall in the last two years. He has taken us from relying on the likes of Germaine Ifedi, to having the makings of a solid offensive line. We have yet to see them all healthy this year to date. What other team has faced that? The Montez Sweat trade was huge. Great cap space and draft picks are again top of the league. His biggest failure is with Claypool, Velus and lack of a good center. Victories include; Sweat, Bagen…

Rookies and QBs are in the house with the rest of the team joining them on Tue. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2023/07/22/bears-rookies-quarterbacks-report-to-training-camp-2023/

There's a lot to talk about in the coming year but lets look at the good things that's happened in his first two years He took a terrible cap situation and turned that around in one year. We had the most cap space last year and top 9 this year. I think he cuts Whitehair and Jackson and adds 20 mil to our cap putting us top 5 . That's a win win. He took an old roster and ate lots of dead money to put us in a good space.Losing always comes with those decisions. In free agency he added ( core team players) Tremaine Edmunds, Demarcus Walker, TJ Edwards, Andrew Billings, Travis Homer, Karli Blasingame . In trades he got DJ Moore and Montez Sweat. In …

Best available for today: RB - Skattebo (76), Sampson (75), Neal, Giddens, Martinez, Tuten IOL - Mbow (74), Frazier DT - Farmer (76), Robinson (74), Pegues, Walker Edge - Swinson (75), Sawyer, Ingram-Dawkins LB - Paul, Stutsman, Simon CB - Riley (74), Frazier S - Bowman, Reed, Ransom (ESPN Grades) The Bears have the 7th pick, in Round 4. I hope Sanders and a few WRs go before the Bears pick, which would give them the best possible pick at 109. There are at least 7 players rated in the top 100 (bold). If Turner is considered a DT, then DT is probably out, so RB or Edge? Skattebo, Sampson, or Swinson?

Lane Johnson 28 reps @ 303 DJ Fluker 21 @ 339 (awful, plus he dropped 15lbs) Erik Fisher 27 @ 308 John Cooper 35 @ 311 Larry Warford 28 @ 332 Luke Joekel 27 @ 306 still waiting on Kyle Long, Warmack, etc I gotta give Lane Johnson a shout. Zack Ertz 24reps at 255 Eifert 22 reps at 250 Fauria 17 reps at 259 Sims 22 reps at 262 Escobar

Cutler is probably done. Forte is on the back end of his career, but Langford is here. WR is obviously set. TE is set. RT is iffy at best. RG is good, for a few years. C looks good with Montgomery and Hronis. LG looks good if Long moves back there. LT is bad. So, that means on offense the Bears need: QB, RT, RG (future), LT. On defense, the Bears need 3-4 personnel, which means DEs and OLBs that fit, ILB's with range and intelligence, DBs who can cover, and Safeties who don't suck. So, that means on defense the Bears need (at least): 1 OLB, 1 DE, 1 ILB, 1-2 DBs, 1-2 Safeties Wow

I have stated many times that I think the Bears will be much better than people expect. The lose of Meredith hurts quit a bite but I still the possibility of them upsetting ATL. They will stunt the Falcons running game and apply pressure on Ryan in the passing game. On offense they will power run, using up the clock with much two TE sets, just enough offense to score 20- 23 points. The key will be to have a TO advantage during the game. I say 23 -17 and Cohen scores the winning TD.

Cutler 26-39, 268 yards, 2 TD's, 2 INT's Forte 25 rushes, 141 yards, 2 TD's, 3 catches, 20 yards Wolfe 6 rushes, 19 yards, 2 catches, 11 yards Hester 6 catches, 68 yards, 1 TD Bennett 6 catches, 82 yards Knox 4 catches, 39 yards Olsen 5 catches, 48 yards, 1 TD Bears 34-27

Cutler 21-34, 226 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT Forte 16 carries, 66 yards, 3 catches, 19 yards Wolfe 3 carries, 9 yards Hester 6 catches, 67 yards, 1 TD Bennett 5 catches, 53 yards Knox 3 catches, 31 yards Olsen 4 catches, 56 yards, 1 TD Bears 23-21

I'll be at the game. I hope we can atleast stay in the thing.

The Bears or any other team will never win the SB with Cutler. Just one of many things I hate about cutler=ALL other qb's look at the photos and study it with the qb coach when the D is on the field. Cutler looks at it for a second or not at all (he does not even have the photos in his hands the coach does) and then has this attitude like "I already know this, I do not need to look at the photos" I seen many times where the coach is sitting next to cutler looking at the photos and cutler is looking in the other direction or away like he's not at fault . Both interceptions and the one that should of been picked off, he threw without setting up his feet. He's like a good r…

Between this year and last year, this period may be the most exhausting as a fan. There is random hints of promise only to be crashed back down to the depths of hell. The NE game last year feels like the WSH game this year. After that game, everyone figured that the Bears had righted the ship and things were going to continue to trend in a positive direction. Then they finish the year with 10 straight losses. This year they start out exactly the same, like literally nothing has changed after an entire offseason, they start out with 4 straight losses and then go into Washington on a short week in prime time and whoop up on the Commanders. Everyone gets excited, the Be…

Prime Time Game, on the road. Hard to see anyway the Bears win this but Indy did give HOU fits all game and kept it close. I hope the defense can continue it's solid play but if they allowed 17 to TEN then that is probably high 20s to HOU. The offense has to play better all around. Stick to the run game, get Kmet involved, and more presnap motion. This was always a loss for me, so I will say HOU 27-20.

Johnson said starters will play some, so I assume at least one drive for offensive starters. I like how Johnson ramped this up.

Currently 9 to 10 point underdogs, we played them well in Week 1. Injuries will play a huge part in the outcome. We potentially will have a fresh Forte, Alshon, and Royal. Of all the games you could win in a rebuild year, it's this one. Based on our last 6-7 games, this seems like it is going to be another close one. Weather could also play a factor. Bears 27 - Packers 24

Carolina is 3-0 on the road and are due a correction, last two wins by a combined 6 points. Bears win a close one 24-20, with noticeable improvement from Trubisky in his 3rd start.
