ASHKUM BEAR

The only thought on Quinn is it seems no matter who plays opposite of Mack they struggle. You would think it would be a benefit.

They miss Goldman, his return will help. Might need to replace Trevathan, find a permanent SS, and add another contributor opposite of Hicks to rotate.

Merry Christmas to you! Gives them some extra motivation to finish the year out.

I think Foles has a key that allows him to walk out if he wants too, but I don't see another team paying him more for his services.

Tried the QB route. It was a choice between Mac Jones or Kyle Trask. Both have limited experience. Trask seemed to have the better traits and nfl QB size, I felt Stafford-ish. If I didn't trade down, I could have taken Zach Wilson. Oline invested heavy round 2, RD3 is a big DT/DE reminds me of Hicks, ILB to replace Trevathan, WR that has speed and upside and a RB that can catch well and return. Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 21 (MIA): Kyle Trask, QB, Florida (B+) Round 2 Pick 6 (MIA): Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State (A-) Round 2 Pick 16: Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan (B+) Round 3 Pick 15: Tedarrell Slaton, DT, Florida (A+) Round 5 Pick 16: Anthony Hines, ILB/OLB, Texas A&M (A+) Round 6 Pick 16: Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota State (A+) Round 7 Pick 5: Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina (B+) With 2 possible 6th RD comp picks I would take a SS and CB/OLB.

If he doesn't, it is only 9% because Trubisky would have to have pin point accuracy to get it over the LBs reach but not sail it into the S. If he would have hit the WR/RB clear to the right, it would have been 95% chance, but he needed to look at Kmet and give a pump fake.??

I will admit, I was ready to dump them both. Since Nagy took advice from keyboard gms and handed play calling over, I think he took a step in the right direction and should get credit if this team finishes strong. We know that a new GM and coach means another 2-4 year rebuild. Being cash strapped as it is, a strong finish should give them at least one more year. They can earn an extension if they can make a huge push next year but they need to over take the division. If Pace would listen and address the lines, the rest can fall in place.

It may have been designed to hit Kmet, but it looks like he was too fast for Wims to clear the LB. The LB picked Wims and forced him to change his route. If Kmet chipped the DE, then took off, Wims is in position to clear the LB and Kmet is wide open to plow the two Safeties for a TD.

All it took was a run game. Olin Kreutz says a lot of it needs to be credited to Mustipher. He is calling the line and knows what he is doing. Cohen and Mooney would be a great speed threat, send mooney deep and Cohen into the flat

It should be always now unless your in the Trevor Lawrence running. I just want two OTs for Christmas.

Welp, now we are back on the playoff wagon. The Bears are back and what a mess they have going into 2021. The NFL will have to get creative on the CAP because there will be a plethora of teams that cannot make it at the forecasted numbers. Whatever happens, I hope they find a way to keep Mitch around for 1-2 more years until they can groom a replacement.

Bilal, sorry I was wrong on this comment. You sir are a force.

Now that it is a need, they better not end up with Chris Williams and Gabe Carimi 2.0. I hope they mix in a DT in the first 3 rounds too. The drop off after losing Hicks is huge and Goldmans absence was noticed too. I thought Bilal Nichols would become that Hicks clone, he is nice rotation but not a force. A 2nd or 3rd RD DT could help the pass rush.

I could go back to back. Seems like a solid OT draft this year too. Too bad we are at that option.

He looks better than Foles ever has except for maybe that game against Atl. They are going to need a vet until they can draft a better player.

I think GB wants Will Fuller, tried trading for him. That would be a deadly with Adam's.

MT could have been worthy if Nagy didn't install his version 2.0. He looked good last week for most of the game and again today. Looks like we have a RB too, who would have known because they never ran the ball until recently. Since next years gonna be cap disaster for most of the league, players might agree on a year 1 pay cut like Robinson if year two and on make it up. See if MT can be signed modestly like a 2 year deal and give it one more shot but address the Oline and DLine. Oh, and my mind will change if they fall off the tracks again today

If the Bears do decide to make a change, I am all for giving Toub his due at HC or the temptation for NW HC Fitzgerald and get a GM that holds value in the damn draft instead of constantly moving up. A GM that knows if you don't have good tires, you cannot get traction to go fast or control your vehicle (O/D lines). Use the draft to increase that capital by trading down to teams that have conviction because most likely that slot busts in the first 4 years. Pace has done well in places but lacks in some of the major areas and it shows. I am on board if you cannot draft a QB, OLT, DE, or CB in round one, trade down or out.

The run game and Trubisky actually look good. Even Miller is shining some.

I agree Trubisky hasn't grasped much in 4 years. I just hate how the media hangs Trubisky non stop but gives every excuse for Foles. First Foles had to knock the rust off, then it became his oline was bad, then it was the play calling. You cannot become good or elite without a good line to give you time, good play calling, and good routes and hands. You will never gain the experience or confidence to get there.

Im seeing this stuff all over again, but where were these breakdowns when Foles was making the same mistakes? Was he sound on mechanics, oh but then it was the olines fault. It is a fed narrative. Sure he makes mistakes and freezing frames helps his point but unless you get a chosen QB, you have to put up with this.

The Bears salary window is now closed, so they will most likely need to re-build the D too. If the Bears decide to continue with this core, which means moving cap and tighten future windows, they might become a wildcard contender. Can they draft a QB if they get into the top 10 and maybe land LT/RT in RD2 and then find a G/C rd 3? All possible, but it will leave a hole at one of the OT spots and defensive line. Teddy and Mikey will have to think about the options. Sure wish Pace didn't miss as much as he has early in the drafts.

This. Putting a young QB behind a bad line is the best way to ruin him. Get the oline set first. If it means missing out on that mid-1st rd QB so be it. Unless Pace finds that conviction again, then trade up ? If they can upgrade the oline to top 10 level, Foles and Trubisky might be good enough to carry the team another year and allow them to trade up like KC was able to with Smith under center.

The team quit. Might as well start firing coaches and gm because it is a complete loss. To be honest, Mitch, Nick, or Patrick Mahomes couldn't make a play with the horse crap line. Fix the line, get a run game, and go from there.

He will arrive Sunday night ? In reality, they will have to pull that trigger in the 1st rd. Lowering the chance on finding a legit LT. I would like to get the oline solid before adding a QB prospect. Odds of the Bears firing coach and GM are slim. Nagy has 2 years left, Pace is up after next season. Give Mitch a 2 year prove it deal and hope Foles sticks around and Nagy/Pace either survive or not with their choices.
