ASHKUM BEAR

I am happier with him than giving up more for Martavious Bryant. Paces record of signing FA WRs isn't impressive so far, let's hope this one shines

Another guy who will most likely be available next year will be Alshon Jeffery. The Eagles will not pay him for what he has given them so far this season, unless his production changes.

The trade off is possibly two losses. Take that for what it is, but there was no reason to throw the ball with a 2 TD lead against the Panthers. Is it ugly, yes. Does it slow the development of Trubisky, possibly yes. This would be the same reason why they didn't hand the ball off to Cohen, they didn't want to risk a turnover with a 2 TD lead. If Fox wants to remain HC, he knows he needs W's. If it wasn't for turnovers and dumb penalties, we could possibly be 5-2. If the Panthers would have scored, the game plan would have adjusted.

My take on the low pass attempts is we had a decent lead and handcuffing the risks gave us a victory. They even handcuffed Cohen running the ball or late punts. If Carolina scored, I think they would have changed the plan a little. This is Fox going for wins. We all want to see Trubisky unleashed for development, but these lessons he is gaining now can be the hardest to swallow. He is learning that you can win by not turning the ball over when you have a lead. I don't think the D will keep the Saints bottled up next week, so we will see his attempts probably in the mid 20s.

Ex Bear Deonte Thompson had 4 rec 104 yards today for Buffalo.

That and a big WR he can toss it up to. It is hard to believe we cannot find an NFL WR.

4th with a lead, Bears will run run run. Do they say it is another successful performance from Tru? He has nothing to throw to except Cohen or Miller.

It is Eddie Jackson's coming out party. Reminding me of Mike Brown

I am counting on trading down right now unless there is a cant miss talent when we can t pass. We need to reap some benefits from selecting QB last year.

Demps was supposed to be the glue back there, but it never cured. If the release him, it would be great because Amos and Co have surpassed his veteran value. If they keep him, then Bush and whoever is behind him haven't progressed enough to be viable backups. I keep my fingers crossed on Floyd and Bullard, they both need to become foot holds on the front. I cringe when I see Unrein, not because he is bad, but I want Bullard to be to good to sit out. Hopefully in time these youngins get there.

Just thinking how we were skeptical of our DBs before the season. If they can gain some confidence and continue playing the way they are, our backfield could be a strength going forward. Hope we can keep Prince and Fuller, the have been solid. Amos has new life, Callahan is one of the better nickel backs, Cooper competing to start, Jackson playing like a pro, and we have Demps if We want to keep him around. Then we have Hall, Bush, Carson-Houston, LeBlanc for youth to groom. I would be good if we spend on Fuller before the end of the year if we have the cap and as long as he continues his game.

I think this will be an issue with him until he grows out of it. Center is one of the tougher positions to get right and he is still a little raw. Sitton can play C if needed, which they should have played him there with Whitehair at G and the they have Grasu possibly there to take the reins.

I don't know much about Bryant. I would want a team player, which he isn't displaying to well with that demand. If he can be that teammate, then maybe worth a shot with a 6th or 7th. It would be a huge risk though with 2 violations. They have a huge need, someone needs to come through to give Wright help.

Looks like Steelers WR Martavious Bryant is unhappy there and has ask his team to be traded. Any thoughts on him?

I meant if they were healthy right now, would the Bears offense be as bad. Only 2 passes to a WR today, this has been almost every game also. Looking at next season, yes bring in a top FA at WR and try and get an upgrade at OT or two.

It would have been better if Barr did the "championship belt" move after that hit. Sucks for the Packers, but don't come looking at the Bears for sympathy after the rash of injuries we've endured the past few seasons.

Looking at this teams performance so far this year, it is obvious they need to add more to the offense side. Would Cam Meredith and Kevin White make much difference? I think next year they need one top tier WR FA addition, maybe Landry and a round 2-3 draft pick. They should also address the OT with two picks, one round 1 or 2 and one after rd 4. On D, I would like to see another OLB drafted between rounds 1-3.

Probably not. Sad, this is the NFL and what we get. At least the Defense is doing there part. 14 points on ST, 2 FGs and a 2 pt conv. Fuller, Amos, Jackson, actually all the DBs played well. Hicks, Goldman, Trevathon, Jones also solid effort.

I know they say we need a offensive minded HC for Trubisky, but Dave Toub may be an offensive minded genius as well as a ST's one already.

Like the Jimmy Johnson said at the half, the have to give Trubisky a run/pass option because the Bears are facing 8-10 in the box. They also need to go deep to start this series.

I am not sold on moving on from Sims already. We have seen 5 games and 4 of those was with Glennon. This is a team that will line up 2-3 TEs in heavy run formations and Sims was brought in more so for blocking part. His receiving game was seen as adequate with a potential uptick. Miller will be gone next year, leaving Shaheen, Sims, and Brown/Braunicker.

I imagine he will stay the course, he tried on a couple blue chips but came up short last year. They will have to hit the WR market again but maybe set their goals higher for a playmaker. The draft is the best way to go. They might have the hardest part nailed down with the QB, so now it needs to be about getting him the pieces to blossom and a D to put the ball back in his hands.

That and these guys practiced all summer together. They need to get Sheheen more involved also imo.

Finally, we bring back one of our real WR's. He has natural hands unlike Bellamy and his deep threat may soften the box. Denote Thompson released to make room, which I'm sure he will be placed on the PS if he clears. Gentry promoted

This would be one way I would address needs, especially if we can trade down. Doubled up on OT's, CB's, WR's, and OLB's. Round 1 Pick 9 (CINN): Connor Williams, OT, Texas (A+) Round 2 Pick 5: Courtland Sutton, WR, Southern Methodist (A+) Round 2 Pick 9 (CINN): Ronnie Harrison, SS, Alabama (A) Round 3 Pick 9 (CINN): Lorenzo Carter, OLB, Georgia ( Round 4 Pick 5: Jordan Thomas, CB, Oklahoma (A) Round 4 Pick 6: Porter Gustin, OLB, Southern California ( Round 5 Pick 5: Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon ( Round 6 Pick 5: Davontae Harris, CB, Illinois State (B+) Round 7 Pick 5: Jake Wieneke, WR, South Dakota State (A+)
