The sun was in his eyes, he didnt see the ball. A. J. MaCarren is available next year. just saying

If they finish 8-8, Nagy and Pace probably stay. I prefer to move on.

If we keep then, then I think we have no room for resigning AROB. The cap is set to lose 20 mil with the covid this year.

The assholes actually look good today. The offensive scheme is using MT how you should use him. Rollouts, slants, moving the pocket.

The problem, Hicks is the best situation for cap savings and now the last 2 years he has had some injury issues.

Next year we will be in cap hell with no QB and a below average team. The players with some cap relief that we will need to choose to cut or keep. dead money cap savings Hicks 1.5 10.5 Fuller 9 11 Leno 5.1 6.2 Massie 3.9 5.4 Skine 3.3 2.8 Graham 3 7 Players we cant cut due to dead money Mack-Trevathan-Whitehair-Jackson-Goldman-Quinn total= 118 mil in dead money. No cap savings Foles would be 10.3 dead money with no cap saving if we cut him. we have to cut some good players, who would you choose? For me: Hicks-Fuller-Leno-Skine and Graham are a must. Maybe Massie for one more year if we dont get to draft a replacement. He was average when healthy. The Oline------ Draftee-Daniels-Mustifpher-Whitehair-Massie or draft pick. Other choice would be Draftee-Whitehair-Daniels-????- Massie Then do we want to pay Robinson the 15-18 mil he will demand? With a rookie QB we may need to franchise him for help. If we get a rehab vet (doubtful) let him go for a 3rd round comp pick. Then we will be forced to keep Foles as the backup QB. After I check out GM and coach choices and go over the draft will comment on them. For now we have a 1st,2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and if we let ARob leave a 3rd comp. The first two picks have to be a OT and QB prospect in what ever order. After that fill spots with who we cut.

He didnt shine while Fangio was here either. I think sometimes going to another team motivates a player and probably would not be much difference this year than before. He is making 6.6 mil this year in LA. If we kept him he was up to be paid in the 10 mil range and that is why Pace gave up on him. A different scheme , more aggressive would definitely mattered for this team this year. I think Pagano is a big part of the problem. Also , you're right Quinn relaxed, in Dallas he was playing for a contract last year, he got it here.

Both Mitch and Foles will be FAgents this year, who are you referring to for a trade?

I dont think they fire Ted, just keep him to the business side and hire a football guy to run the operation and keep Ted and George out of any decisions. If you break down the team, our weaknesses are OL and QB. Those fall on Pace. Nagy has not progressed as a coach, he seems to get worse. I think his biggest flaw is not adapting to players instead of being in love with his scheme. We need a GM that builds the lines and can find a QB. The 2 most successful teams in the league over the years has been Pitt and NE. They had long standing quality QBs of which has changed for NE and soon for Pitt. I think we would have been better off if we ended up with Fangio as the coach than the great offensive mind of Nagy. At least the defense would have been more consistent. The problem with a change next year is the hit to the cap space from the virus and some bloated contracts that will be hard to get rid of . We are on a sinking ship that doesnt have a rescue for a couple of years.

Now hopefully we lose the rest of the games so there is no question they get fired. better draft pick. A top 10 pick should get us a QB or OT.

You pay big money to 2 EDGE rushers and you rush 3 men when the game is on the line. Ends this season. OL blows the end of the game, D plays to soft= loss.

I would wish a victory today but my trust factor is lacking. Even if the defense plays well, hard to see the offense contributing.

I like OL but where is the QB?

I doubt Pace and Nagy are gone. To much money lost this year with the Wuhan flu and a big hit on the cap next year. IF they lose out, maybe. I think it will be hard to resign A-ROB unless they cut a couple big contracts. They will probably resign Foles to be a backup and find a rookie or a (Marriota type) to be the new general. They have Whitehair, Daniels to start a rebuild the Oline but have to get 2 new OTs of which both have cap relief if you cut. I think Ifedi isnt special and Mustier and Bars are good backup types. Coward has to go. So our first 3 picks have to be QB, OT, OT. We are missing our 4th in the Foles trade so taking BPA in the rest of our picks. I think if Mustifer plays well when he comes back and we could keep him at OC and have Whitehair and Daniels as our OGs. I would say we have to cut Hicks, Massie, Leno and Graham to even give us a shot at adding some FAs this winter.

First of all, I doubt anyone trades for Mack, his cap hit next year is 26+ mil next year and dead money would be 38 mil if we cut him. Dont think he's going anywhere. Fuller maybe could be traded but he has a big payday and if we cut him, it would be 9mil dead money. The people with the most in saving to get rid of is Hicks-Leno-Massie and Graham. Dead money=13.5 mil and 29.1 mil in savings. Trying to find someone to take on a big salary will be difficult with getting actual value, with teams knowing we may end up cutting them. We have to bring in a new QB and keep one of our 2 to be a backup.

There playing physical today. Looking good.

The bears have faired well after looking bad in the previous game under Nagy. 5-0 on a short week.

Nagy is 5-0 on a short week and 8-4 after a bad loss.

You guys make all good points on changes. We need to play Bars instead of Coward for the first step, at least he cant be worst. The bad Oline is screwing up everything we do. Foles may look a little better when not under attack all the time. WITH a running game it makes the passing game run smoother. The trade deadline is one week away, go and get a starter somewhere for a 5th or 6th round pick. We need to (when we try to run) go to a power game. Stick Comet in there and leave him. Stick Holtz at fullback and just try blocking forward instead of a step back. Quit playing Patterson at RB and try Miller or Pierce, it cant be worse. We have to remember we are 5-2 and still in the running for a playoff spot. Nagy has to give up play calling or nothing we do will matter.

It would be nice to have an offensive explosion, but this game will be similar to every other game we had this year. 24 points, if we get a DT, 30. Rams anywhere from 13-20. As much as we havent been good against the run, I think we are getting better at it. The RBs are not killing us. The red zone defense is the best in the league and as long as that holds up tonight we win. The key will be to pressure Goff and get into his head. With the covid crap going on, no longer are road games a big negative. No fans.

For some reason that did not share what I was looking at, its a current piece that isnt shown by that link.

https://twitter.com/DawindycityP/status/1304477570864422917?s=20 This is worth watching, a Bears booster piece. It popped up to 3 short videos instead of the one I wanted, but still cool.

The defense has shown some highlights but I think the first 3 games are like the preseason that we would normally go thru to get there shit together. I see people out of place, DBs are waiting for the RBs to hit the 3rd level instead of attacking the runner. I think we will see better play going forward. Trevathan played better in this last game. I think the last game we were in a nickel so much it was difficult to stop the run and with missed tackles that is the result we ended up with. Colts are geared to run and Rivers throws to his TE and RBs most of the time. Rivers has 1 fumble and 4 interceptions so far this year. I think the defense keeps everything in front of them and will make a better show this week. The Colts have an awesome line but they have not been running over anyone and has given up some sacks. This is a very winnable game and everyone should play better this week.

Football luck is a strange anomaly. CMC goes down and Carolina wins their game anyways. We usually talk about losing a game because of a bad ref call but instead we are talking about we could have lost BUT. We are 3-0 and you can see that every game has some luck involved in each of the teams wins and loses. That's football, enjoy 3-0.

5 of his 6 drives went into the end zone. As much as he was a little off in the beginning, he throws to the end zone , what a great idea. I went from being optimist, to suicidal to having a football orgasm. Since football is an entertainment view, I would have to say the Bears have one of the better drama shows on the circuit right now.
