ASHKUM BEAR

Hindsight now shows those 3 pts would have been a Bear W. I didn't consider that being aggresive, I thought it was playing russian roulette but with only one chamber empty. 2pts conv rate is 47% in the NFL, toss in a top 5 D and those odd get lower. Either way, they hung in there as I do not want to see a 2014 ever again. On the bright side, the draft slot improves.

This is on Fox's decision to not take the 3 points. Fire Fox will start heating up. Too early?

Stupid stupid, take the freaking points. Fox gonna cost us a win.

Shea failed to drop into coverage there.

#14 Thompson made the KO return. Good to see them addressing issues.

Seems like we have quite a few starters hurt, could use a healthy McPhee, but we may save our horses for Thursdays game. Conceding if we must to an AFC opponent. I do like and think we will see a lot of two TE sets which will provide mismatches in coverage. That along with Grasu back should give our offense an edge. This will be a grind it out game, so Cutler and co will be doing less hurry up offense. Mistakes or refs bad calls may be the deciding factor. Bears 17 - Broncos 16

No sense to elevate Jones if Grasu is close to healthy. Jones is an emergency plan if someone else goes down. If he sticks thhrough the offseason, he may get a look to compete for a role.

The wise moves are to re-sign your own. I would also hold off on Long since he has one more year left, like they did with Alshon. Spend on FA's that are young, like McPhee that show signs of taking that next step. With 9 draft picks, if they choose right will leave little room.

No way do you let a good football player just walk. First off, I would try and extend the guy. Take that 6 million and spread it out and help both parties if we need cap. If they really have to free up cap space, trade the guy. He is one of the best all around TEs in the league now and should command a 4th at best. If he didn't have to help block, he could be putting up better stats. He is being asked alot this season with the makeshift offensive lines.

The biggest difference between the two, is Langford has speed. Carey can move the chains consistently, but no homerun threat. Going forward, we are looking good if we lose Forte to fa. I have seen a lot of cut Carey early on and I am glad they stuck with him. He is finally getting a chance and making the most of it.

Thanks for posting. Was thinking of this a day or two ago. Last digging I found was Oct 27, White was quoted as saying it is not coming along as he had wanted. Hopefully things have changed since then, he could use the experience. With the injuries continuing to hit the wr core, we could use a capable body.. AJ and Royal both listed on injury report.

Hopefully he can win you back a little. I think i have become numb to how the season bounces or a player performs with the past few seasons, but felt good last night. When Miller caught the go ahead TD, the camera showed something I have rarely seen. They showed Jay excited throwing an all out fist pump. They also caught Jay slapping his players on their rear as they headed to the sideline and he then seen Marty slowly making his way so he jogged back out to him. He has turned a corner this year I believe and is showing signs of the type of QB Pace wants. The next few weeks may not turn out as wins, but I think you will see the different QB.

They kept coming at him, but only 77 yds of rushing. Held 1st round pick Gordon to 31 yds and Woodhead to 33. That is good considering SD was missing nearly all of their starting WRs. Anderson was not drafted and playing as a rookie. It may take him a year to get accumulated to everything and we may have a solid/cheaper option when negotiating with Shea.

3 and 5 and picking near the middle...so far...ugh. That tastes like a 10-6 or 9-7 season and barely missing the playoffs and picking 15th.

I think the Bears should give Dri Archer a look. He was released by Pittsburgh as they signed Jacoby Jones off waivers.

I would be happy with Wilkerson. Von Miller and CB Josh Norman are two other FAs I would welcome. Pass rush and coverage are two glaring weaknesses that will need to be addressed.

Today's Bear rumore are Lamar Houston and Willie Young have both asked to be traded. Neither like there role here apparentl. I can still see Young as a possibility, but no one will touch Houston's contract.

I agree it will take a couple weeks to accumulated.

They also mention bringing in Montee Ball. Fox and Gase may think he has something to offer since they are familiar with him.

And Davis just found huge value as a fantasy player again. Glad I picked him up as insurance now

If that is all it took for a probowl caliber LT, do it. I just do not see that as the case. He is signed through 2018..I think.. and I believe the guaranteed money is done. They are not worried about that comp pick since he has years left. Mack I would think could be had for a 3rd. Thomas will at the very least take a high 2nd.

Rather get the higher pick now. I think on offense, we are ok if we add another OL. Defense, we need another 2-3 difference makers. Mostly DBs. We struck out against our division.

playoff hopes are now out the window. Now looking forward to the draft party in Chicago. We need someone to add pressure on the defensive line, give me Bosa or Nkimdiche. Second round, CB.

Seen that this morning. It would require a first round pick though to get Thomas imo.

Worth a shot! We can go all rugby with Paul Lasike and Haynes. Grind it out with the big backs.
