Outside of Special Teams, the 2018 Bears look to be equivalent or better across the board than the 2006 team based on positions. QB Grossman vs Trubisky - Not even a competition RB Jones/Benson vs Howard/Cohen - Fairly even production-wise but Cohen the X-Factor. WR Berrian/Muhammad/Davis vs Robinson/Gabriel/Miller - Fairly even top-2, but Miller takes the cake as the #3. TE/FB Clark/Gilmore/McKie vs Burton/Shaheen/Sims - Actually fairly even here with Clark and Burton with similar production. OL Tait/Brown*/Kreutz*^/Garza/Miller vs Leno/Daniels/Whitehair/Witzmann/Massie - Edge goes to 2006 team which only allowed Grossman to be sacked 2…

Several times during the Lovie years, we saw pointless wins that allowed the team to misleading hope, while simultaneously submarining any chance of stockpiling draft capital that helps build franchises. The team has hovered around .500 year after year since 2000. Since 2000, believe it or not, the team has an average of 7.9 wins per season. Of the 22 seasons, 12 have been +/- 2 wins of .500. That's treading water; it's not building a franchise. For 30+ years I have heard about how the meaningless wins help in some way, whether it be cohesion, camaraderie, or confidence. But for the Bears, that doesn't appear to hold true. That's why I think this year is so perfect. …

Here are the teams with extra picks in the top 3 rounds: HOU: #2, #12, #33, #65, #73 SEA: #5, #20, #37, #51, #83 DET: #6, #18, #48, #55, #81 CAR: #9, #39, #61, #93 PHI: #10, #30, #62, #94 PIT: #17, #32, #49, #80 NYG: #25, #57, #89, #100 Even after blowing the 1st pick, HOU is still in decent shape, 5 picks in the top 73. SEA and DET both have 4 picks in the top 60. When I was thinking about trading partners, I was looking into which teams had more flexibility to move up. Compared to someone like IND, who the Bears are linked to, would basically not pick again until the 4th round if they move up to #1.

Based on the cap space, pending free agents and projected draft picks, this is what the team has to do in the offseason (based on starters only): These are the 6 positions based on free agents or health that absolutely need a new starter in 2020: RG, TE, Edge, ILB, CB, S, if you add performance, you would have to add LT, RT, LG, and DE in there. 1. O-Line, RG is a hole and LT needs to be addressed in some way. Due to contracts we are stuck with Leno, Daniel, and Massie to go with Whitehair. The Coward project didn't work, and Lucas looked horrible. You take a look at Bars, draft someone early to start Day 1, and bring in a vet to compete somewhere in the starti…

Ok, getting some Safeties back in play. Also, our special teams is going to be a huge strength this year.

There are still a lot of timing and execution issues to iron out especially when you consider the volume of plays and especially all the read-options both WRs and QBs have depending on the what the defense does. Still it is good to hear that Trubisky has at least learned the playbook quickly. https://www.chicagobears.com/news/trubisky-exceeding-daniel-s-expectations

Good News for the Bears: Akiem Hicks fined following ejection Sunday against Buccaneers.

I watched a few games on Game Pass and besides Floyd looking overmatched on every play, Mack didn't seem to have the same explosion like he did last year. He was a Tazmanian Devil in 2018, but in 2019, it looked like he lost a step and wasn't as powerful. I know the defense for his regression was these double and triple teams. However, even when he had one on one matchups, even against a rookie, he didn't really do anything special. My fear with some of these guys is once they get a payday, they cruise. It really looks that way with guys like Leno, Massie, and Mack. Fuller seems like the only one who has consistently played to his contract, except for the fact that h…

Did anyone else see that injury? You hate to see injuries at all, and that one did not look good at all. This is why Arob needs a new deal. Cohen down on a fair catch, other players dropping like flies and he is working on the last year of his deal with nothing guaranteed after this year. Also, do you think Dallas would be desperate enough to trade for Trubisky? He would actually fit in that offense and they have a solid running game and some playmakers in Cooper, Lamb, and Gallup. What do you think?

Nice to see a GM chat with fans for an hour. I think he put to rest any further discussion of us transitioning to a 3-4 D, at least for the upcoming offseason. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...93-4aa1a6a8225d

http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/vid...a5-ca96d0bd3e81 They posted it on facebook, i thought it was a nice short video to watch, so I am reposting it.

Link. This just needed to be posted somewhere before someone asked if he was available next year. That is all. Thank you.

We knew what this season was going to be. Within that thought there were varied growth and win expectations from the Bearstalk family and media experts. This will be the single biggest off-season the Bears or maybe any other team has ever had. Do we know of any team has had the number one pick, an emerging QB and 120 mil to spend? Do you expect playoffs, winning record or vast improvement? What gives Poles and Eberflus the thumbs up?

ok, these stats could be adjusted. i just didn't want to spend forever doing this. that said, give me johnson any day of the week from what is listed here. we have had a Vrabel in chicago about every 6-8 years. deja'vu all over again. If I am wrong show me. STATS FOR VRABEL: Vrabel Stats HC Titans AFC South - 2018-2023 - 5 years Record: Reg Season - 54-45 Post Season - 2-3 Total: 56-48 2017 - Playoffs under HC Mike Mularkey. Titans defeated in 2nd wild card game. 2018 - 9-7 - Their most yards of total offense in 2018, with 4,998 yards.
