Absolutely spot on. All game I keep asking ‘why bother in the off-season getting “speed” players ( Goodwin, Byrd and Perriman) if you’re not gonna (or can’t) use them?’ Having a player like Graham who is clutch in short gains and in the redzone and not using him is absolutely criminal. They at least worked Kmet some into the rotation.

“Here’s the thing” Jason, when a private institution sees a problem employee that could do harm to them, whether it be image or otherwise they have the right to do as they choose. Firing included. In todays world, whether you or I like it or not, anything political will be cast in a floodlight and highlighted as a huge deal. Whether it be misogyny, homophobia or denying someone’s 1st amendment rights it’ll always catch attention. As Mongo so eloquently pointed out perhaps it’s the “pussifying of America” but that’s the hand we’re dealt.

And I’m convinced that Jackson isn’t even worthy of trading, just drop his ass.

Gonna say. Jaylon Johnson fails to impress me.

Valid question. Most of their pass plays are designed as pocket passes which is more in Dalton’s wheelhouse. But on the other hand, it wouldn’t help Justine development to pull him. I don’t think they’re down enough to consider it right now. You’re right though, the later non-scripted plays seem to be a bit too much for him right now.

What a series of hot garbage that was. Fields gets cheap-shotted to the head then gets an off-setting holding?!? WTF. Fields tries to call a TO and is denied. Then tries to scramble and almost escapes but instead is sacked. You think Nagy asked to play call that series? Bears need to get back that intensity and rhythm they had in the first quarter.

Yeah I take back the astonished response I had earlier. He’s back to playing current Eddie Lack-son style.

Robert “old man” Quinn going “spider man - Matrix” to put down Rodgers earlier.

Eddie Jackson with a stop?!? WTF?!?

That series book-ended by two Khalils. Mack for the Sack…and Herbert for the TD!!! great start guys!!! You notice both Lazor and Pettine sitting next to each other in the box during the drive? I like it.

Stack another sack for MACK!!! Mack attack is back!!!

At the risk of jinxing us a few more ‘cool facts’: the Bears are undefeated at home and beat the Bengals without OT. The packers did it in that infamous FG shootout in OT. edit: and they just lost their starting center.

Here’s all that needs said. Unless it turns into a blowout loss, I’ll watch it from end to end. We know the Chicago faithful will be there in full chorus. Go Bears!

I had seen some other rumors to that effect after Monty got hurt. The name Jordan Howard came up. He’s on someone’s practice roster currently. Herbert reminds me of him (and not just because of #24). Jordan would be a cheap option and he’s durable.

Yeah there was a story linked to the Tweet. I like getting the tweet for the responses. The article was speculative on a few things, some of which you mentioned. There was also talk of extending ARob or just saving cap for transfer to next year. How that works I have no idea. But with the timing i’d guess you’re right; either an extension for someone and/or trade. Deadline is next month (?)

Not sure what to make of this.

Not related to our game this week. Just funny. Poor Vita Vea.

Confirming what we know:

Damien Williams out this week. Rookie Khalil Herbert’s turn.

The Bears announced ROT Ifedi is going to ‘non-season ending’ IR (strained MCL). Meaning Elijah Wilkinson will be getting more at that position. Good or bad thing? And for those who care, Ledarius “Little” Mack is back on the Practice Roster. I for one am glad he’s back.

Lol…fair enough. I suppose any precipitous jump would be worthy of note. And Lazor and Fields given full credit.

Stole this from another social media site, but is this accurate? Our offense is dead last in total yards? Yikes!!

I don’t feel too awful for Gruden given he got at least $30 million from the team before he resigned (3 years coaching x $10million per year). It’s unfortunate that someone decided now was the time to ‘grind axes’ but someone else here pointed out Gruden doesn’t appear to have changed his stripes either.

Mike Pettine will have some interesting perspective to offer after spending 3 seasons as the Packers DC (2018-20). Their o-line is vulnerable with Bahktiari still out. They did well holding off Bosa a few weeks ago and TJ Watt after that. Not sure the same will be said about Mack AND Quinn. Rodgers is always the x-factor in these games. Limit him and you limit the team.

And if we recall, there was an awful lot of discussion about Russell Wilson possibly coming to Chicago. When (allegedly) Carroll submarined the plan the team went to plan ‘B’. I have to believe that Lazor had some input on Dalton being that choice.
