My hope is that Trubisky progresses like Goff. The quality of our defense and running game will help a lot.

I found this article on Tarik Cohen that I really enjoyed. Where Did Human Joystick and Bears Difference-Maker Tarik Cohen Come From? You may want to check it out.

Anyone see updates on why he has not been practicing?

After watching the MNF game I found myself wondering if the Packers did Trubisky a bit of a favor by revealing the defensive game plan they'll be using against us. They seemed to be blitzing often and from all angles trying to force some mistakes like New Orleans was able to do. I didn't get to see the game against the Packers earlier in the year so perhaps this is what they did there against Glennon? Regardless, I can't see why they wouldn't go after us in the same manner except we have a better running game than Detroit. Trubisky will finally need to get the ball out on a hot read but doing so could be more challenging with another new WR, Inman, on the field. B…

From Twitter:

Years ago some people posted links where we could watch the games live. Does anyone still have that info? I’m not in Chicago and I don’t have the ticket. Thanks in advance!!

I ripped on him hard last week. I have to give him credit - he had a great game against the Puckers. However, I still say he needs to go at the end of the season. Peace

Is anyone done caring about 2017? It's going to be hard to have anything to look forward to this year!

From Larry Mayer on the Chicago Bears website: Perhaps the most demoralizing aspect of Sunday's game for the Bears was that they didn't lose to a future Hall of Famer such as Brett Favre or Rodgers but to an inexperienced quarterback in Brett Hundley who was making only his fourth NFL start. Hundley deserves credit for his performance—he threw for 212 yards with one touchdown and a 110.8 passer rating—but he obviously is not one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history like his two predecessors. The Bears have now lost their last eight games to the Packers at Soldier Field beginning with the 2010 NFC Championship Game and are 4-21 at home versus Green Bay sin…

Our cycle this year has been Loss-Loss-Win, Loss-Loss-Win-Win, Loss-Loss. So I am figuring this will be another one of those weird wins at home. Bears 23 - Lions 16

Came across this film study from a former NFL Offensive Coordinator.

There it is. Santos is the new kicker

Are we already in mock draft territory? I think we are. Here's my first fanspeak mock. 10: R1P10 EDGE ARDEN KEY LSU 42: R2P10 WR CALVIN RIDLEY ALABAMA 112: R4P10 OT JAMARCO JONES OHIO STATE 114: R4P12 CB ADONIS ALEXANDER VIRGINIA TECH 148: R5P10 CB JAMAL PETERS MISSISSIPPI STATE 189: R6P10 G BRADEN SMITH AUBURN I think we'll draft higher than 10, but it's a good place to start. And if it happens like this, I'll be floored. Arden Key is probably the best possible 3-4 OLB available, and I think Ridley is the best WR in the nation. That would be incredible. Following that up with a solid OT is great. Adonis Alexander could easily play safety sinc…

They gave out some interesting grades for some Bears. Several offensive linemen made their top 4 for Week 11: Leno the highest graded OT, Massie 4th: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933157093095411712 Whitehair the highest graded C: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933126895025221632 Shaheen the top rated TE: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933096774763294720 Josh Sitton, 3rd highest G: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933089394788937728 DI Mitch Unrein, 81.0 overall grade and highest rated defender https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-r...hicago-bears-24 I have no clue how they grade, but it is clear that they apply no context to…

To my dysfunctional TalkBears family; Happy Thanksgiving!! We are no doubt the best, smartest and wisest group of Bears fans ever in all their history. It’s an honor to gripe alongside all of you throughout all these years! Here’s to one day again hoisting that damn Lombardi trophy someday over the beloved orange and blue! May it be sooner than later! All my best to all of you...yes all of you!!!

Dead last. For single seasons, in 2017, played WR, requiring Targets >= 79, sorted by descending Catch Pct https://www.pro-football-reference.com/play...er_by=catch_pct

I don't think we win this one, but I don't think we lose by 14. Trap game for Philly looking ahead to SEA. Mid 40's for game time temperature....Bear weather. Philly is #1 against the run, but that may be due to their early leads. Overall defenses are comparable in overall yards, but Philly has a bunch more INTs and PD's. Again, this may be due to their leads and teams needing to pass more against them. If our offense takes another step forward and our defense doesn't lay an egg, we will at least look competitive. It would be nice to see both sides of the ball play well in the same game. PHI 27-20
