No need to rush them back at this point, we have to win out and if we can't beat the Rams, we are not going to beat the Eagles, Cowboys, or Packers with Rodgers back. We will be lucky to get to 8-8. Just let them get completely healed up and continue to let the younger players get playing time.
I hate to agree but your probably right.

This may be the game that pushes me to the "Let Jay walk, resign Josh, and draft a QB" side of things. These guys can really get after the QB. Bushrod and Mills will have their hands full, I'm sure we'll see a lot of Eben Britton in this game.
All games are important if we are to make the playoffs, hope Josh comes thru but still wont displace Jay when he comes back.

I am not sure it is that easy, what makes a "better" QB? Arm strength? Intellect?
Brady has won more so I would pick Brady, but would not discount Gannon, as I remember watching him when playing with the Vikes and thought he was much better than the credit he was given. Wrong time, wrong place, etc….Brady has benefitted from being with no question the best team in the NFL throughout his career; it would be interesting what may have been if he had started in other franchises. I highly doubt he would have been as successful.
Maybe, but then again maybe he is the catalyze.

I have never had doubt of your love or knowledge of the Bears…and hope that you are doing well.
I too would love to have a guy with Cutler like skills, but I am not sure the mental fortitude is there nor I am sure whether the physical skills have become eroded…..in this system you don't need a Brady, you can do with a Gannon….
So would you rather have Brady or Gannon? Systems dont make you a better QB, they play within the limits of the QB and maximize your potential, a better QB will end up having better results.

Thank you mate.
I don't think McCown is THE answer either. And yes if our team was on the precipice of going to the SB tomorrow, I'd have to say that McCown would get the start. If it were the next day...maybe Cutler.
I am comfortable with McCown, and the results we have gotten, but to think he is some kind of franchise starting qb, cant bare the thought.Cutler for sure has his negatives, but with a resemblance of a an offense line and some weapons has looked a lot better and I think under Trestman's tutelage would deliver what a franchise QB would be. The money thing will come into play next year with all the roster spots we need to fill. He will command a big contract if not from us from somebody else. There will not be any hometown contract, he doesnt have to. He will be in demand. Probably best case scenario would be to franchise him and give him another year to prove himself because this year has been overshadowed by injuries. Not sure how I feel about that, but in any event we will draft a QB in this years draft and things will play out accordingly. I am a gambler so maybe I role with McCown coming back and a high draft pick for a QB and hope it all ends well. Spend the 18.5 on some better defensive players with a baddly needed up grade on defense. Really we dont need to address those questions now, we have plenty of time to beat each other up with the proper answer to those questions. Next year we need a new center, two DTs , new safties, CBs, way to many needs to address in one offseason. We will see quickly how good is Emery, to see if he is a miracle worker.
Conclusion, hopefully McCown plays well, Cutler comes back and plays well, our defense gets better and we win the division, and have a first round playoff home game. Maybe that can happen maybe not, but I as a human being have the ability to dream and choose those results.

The Lions have skyrocketed to the top of my most hated list.
HATE=
1. Most of their players, SUH is a piece of shit it would be hard for me to root for him if ever signed to the Bears, even Stafford...cut your hair do something to not look like a stoned hippie all the time.
2. Head coach is a complete douche bag.
3. Fans, the last two home games against the Lions i have had the pleasure of sitting by some real classy Lion fans. Both times fights almost broke out, last years game I wish i wouldnt have stopped the Bears fan that went after the two Lions fans that were being out of line they deserved to get their ass beat. Their fans showed how little they know about football, how to be complete douche bags..I know Philly and Steeler fans are some of the worst, Lion fans are getting up their. Maybe its because they have won anything and thats why they the fans suck so bad.
I really hope the Lions shit the Bed again.
I hate to say it but think the tie breaker going to Lions will prevent us from making the playoffs. I think we go 10-6 and tie with Lions, sitting with a decent record and a 20-24 pick in the draft and back to mediocrity again.
-
I agree. They are in a must win mode And without Rodgers it will be tough yo beat anyone. 1 thing we can count is Detroit being stupid. Either play calls or penalties and hopefully that can cost them a couple games down the stretch
We have winnable games and we need to win at 4 and maybe 5 to get in playoffs. I think the last couple of games the defense has shown a little progress and maybe we can be lucky and win what we need to make it. It is a broken arrow but it is pointing up.
-
huge win...you guys on this board are never happy. Take some advice and never post during the game again.
Get use to it boys, all the rest of the games will be like this. The one thing I do think is encouraging is the young players on defense are starting to get better, so maybe down the road we will have some better results. Trestman has been making some mistakes but also did some good play calling so wont ride him for his mistakes. Glass half full
-
He should retire then.
Probably not what is most on his mind right now, after being declared out for the year.
-
I'd like to see the Bears go DT 1st round, then go with the best available secondary player in the 2nd. If its a corner, move Tillman to safety, if it's a safety leave em at corner and hope he stays healthy.
I totally agree with you, as in most cases , not. With the first round pick, I think if a stud safety is there, I would do that, otherwise DT.
-
OK now that we are basically done moving maybe I can be more active here Lol. At least I'll try. Here's my 2 cents. I love what I see from trestman so far. I don't have a problem with the 4th and short calls. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I love the aggressive play calling. I won't even try comparing trestman and lovie as I think trestman is doing a great job in his 1st yr in the league in a long time. Anybody notice the huge strides that cutler is making in his decision making. Or how about tgr overall growth of Jeffrey. Sure some of that is always gonna be on the player but that's also on the coaching staff as well. Or how about in past a lot of ppl attacked cutler for looking disinterested when he was on sideline and last week during GB game there jay was right nxt to trestman the entire time. Now I will criticize trestman for his decision to leave cutler in. I agree with SCS in that we get starting him but by halftime it was quite evident he wasn't able to move around and could barely step into his throws he has to pull him. U can't just ask the player if he is still good because almost every player is always going to say they are fine. Its on the coach to make that decision
Where did you move too? are you still my neighbor? I criticized Trestman but like him a lot. He screwed up yesterday but am a big fan. The best coaches in the league make bad decisions sometimes, and I hope one day he will be reveled in the league as one of the best of the best , just not today.
-
I am sure everything I will talk about was on the thread for the game yesterday but dont really have time to view all of it ,so will put my thoughts down here.
I like a coach that is aggressive, but we should have took the points early in the game instead of going for the first down.
People drop balls, and we get inappropriate pealities at the wrong time but what stirs my dandruff was not going to McCown after the first half. I understand going with Jay to start the game, but he was getting beat up, and wasnt mobile, we should have went with McCown at the start of the second half. Its not Jays fault, he would have wanted to go back in even if his legs were falling off. You have to make a decision for the better of the team.
I like everything I have seen from Trestman so far this year, but decisions yesterday reminded me of Lovie.
This actually was the most important game of the year with the winner taking the lead in the division and all of the tie breakers advantages going forward.
Bad day for Trestman, if McCown was in the second half we would have won the game.
The play on the two point conversion was a McCown mistake going to the run instead of the the pass but bottomline is we lost a winnable game.
Bad bad day for the team.
-
I can see why Cutler would want to return as soon as possible. McCown has done great and most importantly no picks. Every game/win McCown notches is leverage/cash lost for Cutler. I like Cutler's arm better, but winning is winning.
I dont think it has anything to do with McCown, he is a competitor and wants to play. McCown isnt a threat to him.
-
A QB I watched play last week and was impressed with his ability to throw the ball. He's not mobile and may not have the deep ball arm strength so he might drop a bit in the draft. Yet his abillty to hit receivers in stride in the short to intermediate game is very good.

Good to give us people to look at I wouldnt have normally found on my own. thanks

After taking a great deal of criticism this season he has responded when we needed it most. Great play on snagging Rodgers. Now if they'd must figure out where he can best be used given his strengths he can be a regular contributor, IMdO.
He has deserved all the criticizium he has gotten, but he deserves all the credit for maybe the most important game of the season coming threw when we needed it the most. Maybe he finally becomes the pass rush stud he was suppose to be. I still dont think he is an everydown DE( look at the run defense) but as a rush pass specialize maybe we see the beginning of a career.
-
They keep doing that fake reverse on the kickoff, one these times the other guy will get it.
McCown looks awkward at times but he can get be pretty accurate with his throws.
-
The coaches are playing chess right now, be interesting to see the outcome. I think we have a much better shot at the win than 2 quarters ago.

I'll take a 17-10 lead going into halftime. Now it's about coming out strong and putting up points to start the 2nd half. Need to take complete control of the game. If Seneca Wallace beats us with his arm, you might as well just cancel the rest of the season. It's Eddie Lacy or bust for the Packers. Don't screw it up!
Josh McCown looks ridiculously poised. Offensive line doing a great job giving him time.

Just doesnt look very good, but worst for Bears or the league?
With Rodgers out, our prospects are looking up, but with a God awful defense we need to be more consistent on offense.
-
This is the worst defense I have ever seen in my life. Packers had a lead blocker on that big run, and he didn't even have to block anybody because the LB'ers were running the other way.

I like it, and I'm glad the talkbears moralists aren't poo pooing on this guy.
Sucks that he'll be out the next 2 weeks, at least, because I believe the season will be decided with these next 2 games. Particularly the Detroit game. If they lose that game then the seasons over. One of San Fran/Seattle is a lock to get one of the Wild Cards and I think the North Bears/Pack/Lions get the other one.
the GB game looks unattainable but the Lions are a team that we can beat, remains to be seen what happens but one game at a time.
-
Done Deal. Bears signed him to a 1 year contract. Still won't be ready for a few weeks though.
when you roll the dice sometimes you come up with a 7 or 11 and at worst it wasnt a heavy bet
-
Also I don't know how easy it is to do from the OLB position. That has to be a harder position/perspective to make calls from and it may even make him be out of position on certain plays.
I think most of the calls are predetermined, according to offensive formations. There is some immediate input but the coaches would make the adjustments if he wasnt calling what he was suppose to.

If Tuck could be had for a 6th or a 7th, that trade should have already happened. 7th rounders are by and large wasted picks. Tuck at 75% is better than 95% of all 7th rounders.
Would love to have any of them but here is the problem, Salary caps hits this year Byrd-6.9
Tuck-6.1
Babin-4.3
Finnegan-15
We have 2.1 at this point of the season
There salaries for the year will be about 60% of that after its prorated , we simply dont have the money and then we get to giving up draft picks, which is something Emery will not want to do.
Just a pure dream state, but not reality.

That was probably one of the best catches in the league for the year.
