I read somewhere that the rotational players; like Edwards, Urban, Mingo etc are responsible for 35% of the teams sacks so far. That’s pretty damn impressive. If you have some time to kill, check out these guys breaking down key plays. Briggs, Kreutz and Brown make for some entertaining ‘blue collar’ analytics.

Lol...you went from 34-9 to 33-9 in one post. Even your confidence is waning. Lol Not all that long ago, right around the time the team lost to the Colts 19-11 many were calling for Paganos head and sure we were done for the year. Now suddenly our defense is “elite” and it would appear we have a legit team; even with the small errors on offense being made. Of which I trust Foles (not so much Nagy) will be able to clean up.

Put it side by side with the hit last week in TB to see if there were any differences; there weren’t.

Absolutely all this! and couldn’t help notice Brady run across the field at the end of the game to shake hands with Rodgers. Where last week he scurried to the locker room and avoided Foles after losing. Who by the way is 2-0 against him. Lololololol!!!

Is this the same TB team the Bears played a little over a week ago? In TB? And this is with GB taking their bye...yikes. Think you’re right Adam, GB is in for a long season.

Looks like Rodgers can be pressured into huge mistakes in watching the first half against TB. That bodes well for our team. The more I think about this, and considering Nagy might be the problem for the offense progress; would you think Trubiksy would be worth keeping around as a #2 for next year? Maybe still draft a development Qb... just sayin.

I think it was Connor who said it earlier. Nagy is a good head coach when it comes to rallying the team and getting them to play together. But on game day he should NOT be calling plays. I don’t have a lot of faith in Lazor either but I at least think Foles can run the team from the field. Nagy seems to be the stick in the wheel when it comes to running the offense.

DHC has become clutch these last few weeks!

WHY on Gods green earth do you pass on 4th down in this situation? Did this last week too. Nagy is a complete ditz with game management!

Absolute word.

Im with you. Looked almost identical to the game last week where he forces the turnover. Not sure what else Fuller is supposed to do? Avoid the tackle? Everything he did was pretty much text book.

Johnson still sucking at tackling. And had an issue on man coverage thinking he was in zone. Rookie mistakes for now. Fuller lays out a guy just like last week but gets the penalty this week. Hmm...

You see that a lot with players, ARob has a tendency to do that too sometimes especially in the slot. But I’m never a fan when they do. Still...Miller needs to be playing smarter ALL the time. Mooney is outshining him already.

Nagy continuing to mess up o-play calling... Absolutely LOVE Mooney! WR Miller needs to go away.

Bill Parcells is that you? Lol. Isn’t that exactly the same type of thing he would say? And by the way, I agree with.

There was something about an injury clause in the neighborhood of $6million. But yes the remainder of his contract (or most of it) would remain the Jets responsibility.

Sorry, wrong Miller. I meant Lamar Miller. But now that you mention it, interesting facts about ARob and WR Miller. I didn’t realize they were so close in age. Way easy choice there; pay ARob (and now) and let WR Miller go...(I know itS not that easy...just sayin).

Released by the Jets. Should the Bears? My only question is how would a move like this affect money that ARob should be getting? Personally I’d rather see what Miller has to offer. https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/10/14/leveon-bell-jets-contract-lasting-impact

Given all the thoughts Adam shared I have to say the ‘favor’ goes to Haskins - however slight. He’s got one less year in the league and has had two offenses/coaches to try and adapt to. Trubiksy has truly only had one; can’t really count his time with Fox. The question to ask is Haskins’ ability (or not) to play NFL level offense because of all the changes or something else?

There are rumors Washington may be looking to move Haskins after demoting him to third string last week. He’s on a rookie contract for one more year(?). Any thought of seeing how he might fit into the Bears offense? Would Washington be willing to do a straight up trade for Trubisky? He had a 13-1 record in college while playing for Ohio State and finished third in the Heisman voting in 2018. I linked his Wikipedia page as it gives a bit more depth to his background. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_Haskins

Looks like ‘no’. Dallas signed QB Garrett Gilbert off of Browns PS. Former #3 in Dallas rotation Ben DiNucci is now #2 behind Dalton. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cowboys-sign-veteran-backup-quarterback-garrett-gilbert-a-day-after-dak-prescotts-injury-per-report/

Not sure ‘desperate’ is the word. I could see them showing interest. There are a handful of proven #2s out there Dallas could look at. Didn’t they just pay Dak and Zeke a buttload of money last year? That might help them more than anything in a player like Trubiksy who won’t demand a lot next year now that he’s been demoted. I’ll be curious to see how Dalton does there. And I had no idea McCarthy was the HC there.

Maybe because Graham is doing better than planned? And Harris is contributing from his position? I’d think Kmets issues might be learning the offense. Harris has been in this type offense before in KC and Graham has been playing forever so his is probably more about talent. And we’ve heard that there is a 100, 200 etc level to this offense. So maybe he’s still at the 100 level? Might I add; how about the Mooney kid? I’m an instant fan. He’s like a newer version of Taylor Gabriel.

Amazing considering how just last year he was playing alongside Rodgers and got nowhere near this production. And if I’m tracking, since Foles has started the opposition has only scored an average of one TD with the rest all being FGs. That tells me the defense is improving too.
