The Bears have only picked 1st overall twice, once in 1941 and again in 1947. Since that point they have actually only picked 2nd twice, once in 1951 and Trubisky. So since 1941, the Bears have picked 1st or 2nd only 4 times. It seems like IND, ATL, CAR, now LVR will all be in on a QB. SEA, who is currently drafting 3rd (DEN's pick) has to at least consider one (and they have two 1st rounders). A wild scenario would be HOU winning, Bears getting the #1 overall pick to trade it to SEA for #3 and #13 +Metcalf. The Bears then can take Carter or Anderson at #3 and another blue chipper at #13 and now have Metcalf as a WR1. Now another option would be to take Lockett off their hands, but more as a salary dump and take an extra pick with the deal. Thoughts on SEA? IND makes a lot of sense but any team moving up to #1 is going to pay a king's ransom to get there. Especially considering HOU would be #2 and definitely taking one with 2 1st rounders.

Every spot from 4 to 1 is "worth" 400 pts or the equivalent to pick #50 (mid-2nd rounder). So if the Bears somehow move up from 2 to 1, which is actually very possible considering HOU's final two opponents, they would basically give themselves an extra 2nd rounder in any trade scenario.

Yeah he was impressive and was one of the few shining stars. The D-Line and LBs are brutal. Outside of Sanborn, we really need 2x LBs, 2 DTs, and 2 DEs in the front 7 as new starters. I don't know if we will get there all this offseason, but it would be nice to get at least a stud DT, DE, and LB to add to the core.

HOU just beat TEN, and the Bears are now 1/2 game out of the #1 pick. HOU plays JAX and IND for their last two games. If HOU can win one more, they would be 3-13-1 and if the Bears lose out, they would be 3-14.

Bears defense decides not to cover Knox for another easy TD for the Bills. Funny how this was 10-6 at half. If they are not purposely doing this, then I am concerned. Now down 35-13.

22-3 in the 2nd half. Both sides of the ball look pretty terrible.

If Getsy is not doing what he is doing on purpose, then I really don't like his game plan. Everything is stretch and lateral to the LOS. That is terrible against a team like Buffalo. After the first drive, everything has been to the sidelines. I do not like it.

Morrow now with an INT. 2 on the day for Allen, following 2 against Hurts. That is seriously impressive.

Bears convert a 4th and 2 with a Fields pass to Griffin for 3 yds.

Velus Jones 2-52 yards and 93 return yards. 145 all-purpose yards, not bad considering the other team and the weather.

After a Matt Adams peanut punch for a fumble, Fields throws a bomb to Velus Jones who makes a silly catch for a 44-yard gain! Holy shit!

Fields has another pass tipped at the LOS. He needs to work on that in the offseason. Just too many of those, especially on 3rd Down.

Bears punt, now Bills punt. It would be nice if the Bears could get at least one more TD drive before losing.

Bears now down 21-10 just like that. Defensive scheme against the run has been brutal. I don't know if I want Williams back next year. Too soft of a defense.

and the defense allows another easy rushing TD, basically untouched for 20+ yards. I have no clue what defense Williams is calling with so much space in the middle wide open.

Bears going lateral to the LOS a lot today, I don't like it. If they are going to do that, they have to do some counters.

and as part of the Tankathon sweepstakes, HOU is tied with TEN in the 2nd quarter. Bears still in play for the #1 pick if HOU wins 2.

and just like that, the Bears terrible run defense is back, lets up a super easy long TD run to Singletary.

I highly doubt the Bears hang all game, but to have a 10-6 lead against the #1 seed in the AFC after they had a lead against the #1 seed in the NFC last week if really impressive. In other news, Carolina is destroying the Lions 24-7 at half.

Wow, the Bears defense stops the Bills and they miss a FG. Bears still up 10-6.

Santos says screw the wind and nails a FG, 10-6 Bears.

Fields came into the game needing 40 rushing yards to pass Vick for the 2nd most in a season for a QB. He has 7 yards, needs 33 more.

They went BPA, which is tough when you had so many holes on offense, but it is the best way to build the roster. You need as many blue chippers as possible. I was hard on Gordon all year, so I am glad he is making me look like an ass.

Brisker sacks Allen on 3rd Down, almost a sack, and the Bills are forced to punt. Rookies all over making plays, love to see it. Regardless of the outcome of this game, Gordon, Brisker, Jones (finally), and Gill all making impact plays.

Bears can't get much going, then Mustipher snaps it sideways and the Bears have to punt. Gill booms a 63 yarder and pins the Bills back deep.
