Take in account , Im an optimist , 38-20. I think AROB has a big day and the D scores a TD

If you look at all the close games over the last two weeks there are several plays that if made could have changed the outcome of its game. That is what is exciting about football, it is not a regular scripted scenario in every game. We have a long way to go. Our first 3 or 4 games are kinda preseason games to me. We should look better this week but with flaws. If we can get to 4-2 or 5-1 in our first 6 games, we have the chance at a good season. I made a BetRivers future bet that the Bears go over 7.5 wins. I think I win that bet. Positives: MT has looked better at times, we are running the ball with authority, and Jaylon Johnson looks like a stud. Also we are healthy. (huge) The arrow is pointing up.

The first two opponents of the Falcons didnt have a pass rush. This is a game where we get some TOs. Their RT is out and Jones has been hampered by a hamstring injury. Did not play well against the Cowboys. I think the Dallas loss will cause the team to lose faith in Quinn, also if the D keeps staying so bad the O for Atlanta is going to have issues with them. I can see if we get up on them early and get a few TOs that their team will quit.

In the mid 60s I started playing football in high school, so I started watching football. Gayle Sayers and Dick Butkus are the reasons I became a Bears fan. Thanks to Gayle to letting me make a great choice.

Mitch has improved, Nagy is staying with a running game and we are pretty healthy with all the other people going down. Since I consider the first 4 games as preseason games, I prefer to view the 2 wins as positive and expect them to take another step in the Falcons game. I think we have a better defense than Atlanta's first two opponents so it should be a close game with a few turnovers making the difference in a win for us. I heard their RT is out for a while so that should help the pass rush.

It was not Jason Lieser, but that reported the AROB extension, but i can see the Bears and his agent in talks since they did the Cohen contract.

I seen on twitter where someone said they have agreed to a deal, 4 yr 75 mil and it would be announced sometime this week. I would say false since I never seen anyone else mention it.

Didnt know where to put this but read that we had the best YPC for the week in the running game. 5.9 per yard.

I read where he wanted to play and they held him out.

I suspect they told him they would have a contract done before the season started. This is not a good situation pissing off a team player. I suspect some of it could come from the agent. Pull stuff off social media, and ask for a trade. Up to the Bears now, 4 -80 mil, is the going rate. Although next year they are paying 9 players more that 9 mil a year. So I suspect adding 20 mil to that total would be difficult at best.

I took my daughter out for her birthday and didn't see the game until halftime, it was very depressing. At that stage, I thought there was no way we could win. Glad to be wrong. Positives: we run the ball a lot better, better OLine play. Miller is going to have a break out season. Johnson looked like he belongs. We still had rust from no preseason games, but a win is a win.

I think with Travanthan and Smith in the middle, that will not be a problem.

If I remember he had these same kind of stories going on in Dallas last year but he still played well. If he misses one game, no big deal. The key is A. Hicks and it flairs out from there. Mingo will take his place and with Golliday and the RT out, the lions will try to establish the run and that's Mingos strong suit.

The most important aspect of the game will be the game calling . I think we have smart people in the room. Nagy was bad last year but I think the new coaches will lift the play calling. Two keys to the offense will be the upgrade of the TE position and us actually using the running game effectively.More so than MT is the upgrade of the OL play. We will see. Even last year with all its failures, we still beat the Lions twice. Keep that in mind.

I think Nichols handling the position very well and with Jenkins and Urban backing up the starters we should be in fine shape.

I think I read where instead of running more inside zones they were going to use off tackle running lanes more frequently. Now that the OLine coach is also the Running coordinator , we have someone in Nagy's ear to stick to the run more. The red zone was a problem last year, which definitely got upgraded. I can see a 12 set with Holtz in the backfield with Monty or Cohen.

We should remember he had a should problem last year and was wearing a harness. That had to affect his play and mentally made him push more that created mistakes. Whoever gets us to win games, that will be my QB. For us to win we only need to QB play to be average in the league. IF we have a running game and with a great D, that is a winning combo.

That had real good odds, 10.00 bet gets you 55.00.The bears are getting hammered by national press. I seen one where they finish 3-13. No one picking them to win the division. For me, HIcks is back, Pagano has a better understanding on how to use his players, total Upgrade for TE group. Added speed in the WR corp.The Oline was so bad, Infedi and a Daniels breakout season has to upgrade their play. Im calling a 26-13 win.

I joined the BetRivers website . Put in 200 they give me 200. I made some season bets. Bears above 7.5 wins------Bears win division----David M goes over 900 yards.... Robinson goes over 1050----Also made a bet where D. Hopkins going under 1150. I thought being with a new team, Fitzgerald , Kirk, and Drake, he just wouldnt get the volume he got in Houston. What do you think? Drinking to much cool aid ?

Forgot about that, thanks for reminding me.i dont even remember what we bet.

I think with David M hurting we go with the 2 TE set quite a bit . Harris and Kmet should be able to handle blocking okay. Taking turns in the backfield will be Patterson and Cohen. Robinson, Miller and Graham seeing some slot work. Ginn and Mooney coming in to change it up. The only one I am surprised with is Eris Saubert making it, he must be a very good ST player.

Basically will be a specialty pass rusher kinda backing up Quinn who is similar.

I think with the lack of preseason games, it was hard not to go with MT. More familiarity with the WRs and the offensive structure. Idea situation he becomes who we drafted. If he ends up being same same , then we at least have another choice not Chase Daniels. Worst case scenario is he plays brilliantly for 10 games, gets hurt Foles takes over and goes to SB. Next year we sign him to 4 yr 120 mil and then he sucks again.

So is he a DL or OLB? Not sure where he played in NO.

So if anybody running the show needs help with anything, I have the time after the 24th. For now I have a draft on labor day at 8pm online. Also a live draft Sept 2nd at 615pm which is the one I would have a problem with for time. Otherwise, I can do any other time frame.
