Bearstalk

They are having a hell of a year. Not sure if they can win a playoff game with Case Keenum but congrats on winning the NFC North. Peace

Houston has 4 sacks since returning at the beginning of the month. Do we try to sign him for next year? Given the issues we've had at OLB, he seems like a good option. Peace

Even more reason to get rid of this coaching staff: From Brad Biggs in the Tribune: It would be far from accurate to say the Bears lost this game because they didn’t hand the ball off to Jordan Howard for running plays from the shotgun formation. But a week after having good success running the ball from that formation in Cincinnati, the Bears didn’t try it once. Howard had 10 carries from the shotgun against the Bengals for 97 yards and two touchdowns. It was strong production from their most consistent offensive performer. It was not a surprise. Howard led all NFL running backs out of the shotgun as a rookie in 2016 when he averaged 7.0 yards per carry (…

Suppose the Bears were one of the healthiest teams in the league instead of one of the most injured? What scenarios would have played out? What would the record be? The first thing I think of is Kevin White. If he didn't get injured again, would he have blossomed into a star WR this year? Would his ascendancy have led to Glennon performing better and keeping the job?

The Giants are in complete rebuild mode and I predict OBJ will not be a part of it. Tick tock, GO!

https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-3...vations-week-13 Chicago Bears: On his 65 third-down attempts, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky’s average of 9.6 yards per attempt ranks second among 32 starting signal-callers, while his passer rating of 103.7 ranks fourth. Through 13 weeks, he’s the only starting quarterback to have not thrown an interception on any of his third-down pass attempts. ------------------- The sample size is more than big enough to be significant. Then there was this article published before the Bengals game... http://www.thetenyardline.com/2017/12/08/m...-on-third-down/ ------------------- Passing chart against Bengals …

Devin, you are and forever will be, ridiculous! We love you! Thank you so much for all the joy!

I can't believe we have played the toughest schedule in the last 5 years. Not much media talking about it. That coupled with all the injuries sure would make for a challenging year without all the other stuff (bad coaching, kicking, rookie QB, no WR corps, etc). .590 going into this week, and .562 over the last 3 years (#1 in NFL over that period as well).

This is easily the most entertaining OG highlight film I've ever watched. I know many here are fans of McGlinchey early in the 1st but I see slow feet so I'm less enthusiastic and I think his draft stock will drop as get further into the evaluation process. His neighbor Nelson on the other hand is the only OG I recall seeing slide across the face of the QB late to pick up a blitzing CB/S. He has plenty of power to pancake players as well, which he does over and over in this 2016 highlight film. He's talented enough to be scheme versatile. I'd like to find some 2017 highlights, and of course entire game film, but that will show up soon. My question is where do you v…

I read where Kon Early who was cut and is playing for the Jets this year and is doing well since he got there, he will be a POTENTIAL FREE AGENT at 6'4" 275, could take McPhees place at OLB Career Stats SEASON TEAM GAMES TACKLES INTERCEPTIONS FUMBLES G GS TOTAL SOLO AST SCK SFTY PDEF INT YDS AVG LNG TDS FF FR TOTAL 90 53 37 15.0 0 14 2 16 -- 9 0 6 2 2017 NYJ 12 4 14 11 3 1.0 -- 9 1 9 9 9 0 0 -- 2016 CAR 16 6 32 19 13 5.0 -- 3 1 7 7 7 0 2 -- 2015 CAR 16 9 32 15 17 5.0 -- 2 -- -- -- -- -- 3 2 2014 CAR 15 0 12 8 4 4.0 -- 0 -- -- -- -- -- 1 -- Also I heard there is turmoil in Houston between O'Brien and the owner, he may be available as a head coa…

Fuller and Amukamara are free agents. Cooper has 2 years left on his contract. He will cost $5.5 million against the cap next year or the can cut him costing $1 million of dead cap space. What do you do? Peace

What a good start on offense 3 plays TD and no negative plays. But damn does our kicking game suck

With all the talk of the money wasted by Pace and his so so selections in the draft and free agency we could be in a good situation in the offseason. It looks like the contracts are Bears friendly and prove it and you get paid or we move on without it majorly affecting our cap. The contracts below are from over the cap and the only players I would definitely want to keep are Trevathan with a possibility of Sitton, Demps and Young. Then if you consider the injuries to starters and hope this will improve especially if they can work out why it’s happening. I have always wondered if the state of the field at Soldier Field attributes to the soft tissue injuries. If yo…

Did he even play today? Might as well cut the guy because he is as good as gone at the end of the season. Gentry has seen more action than him. Peace

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...7b-1149a35f5625 It's been a tough year but take a moment to listen to this interview with Zach Miller. Best wishes to Zach on his recovery.

Long and Unrein placed on IR today. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-r...c5-72c9bc30c768 Peace

As this could help the Giants get a late win or two and possibly enhance Bears draft pick. We are likely to get a top 5 pick, but in a pretty tough spot since we will likely beat the Browns. Hard to do much better then 5 or so, unless we lose out. There are a lot of really bad teams.

Since this year is trash, time to look forward. I think we need to pick up 2 WRs in FAgency from a pretty good group and then draft one or two in the draft. In the draft we are going to get a top 5 pick so we should be able to move back and grab a couple of extra picks from someone looking for a QB.(Giants, Broncos, Cardinals, Jets, Dolphins,Chargers, Bills) Buffalo has two first round picks and two second round picks , so for sake of this article, we trade our (projected 1-4 pick) to Buffalo for (projected 1-15 and 1-20 plus 2- 51 picks) So in the draft we have 2 1sts, and 2- 2nds, with those picks in the first round we get a OT and OLB, in the second…

And we won't even fire our offensive coordinator. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2166599...doo-two-seasons Peace

Welcome to our third kicker of the year. What a train wreck!!! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...1204-story.html Peace
