Saying ‘thanks’ for supporting him during his time as a Bear. Then he followed that up with a second xweet. Wording matters, I believe he was asked a question and replied that he prefers a 3-4 defense. That was then stretched to he prefers another team, and that he would like to be traded. In reality, getting cut provides him with the most options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 This is odd, mostly because going after this type of FA is out of character for GB, much less at RB where they seem to be set with good players. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2023/08/packers-engaged-in-jonathan-taylor-trade-talks-with-colts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 The Bears were 1-7 in one score games last year (only beating HOU). If it was even, that would be 4-4, so a 6-win team with that roster. If you start from there, you can see how this can easily be an 8 to 9 win team. Moore alone is 1 win. The improved defense should squeeze out another win, and in general the rest of the roster should squeeze out a third to get to 9 wins. With some luck or good refs for a change, double digits is not out of the question. On the flip side, injuries or bad refs and this is back to a 5 to 6 win team.

Philly is like Georgia Bulldog North. I wonder if some of those coaches with ties to Philly purposely did that so Philly could take him. Seattle took a CB, LVR took and Edge before Carter was picked. Hell ATL took a RB in the top 10 before Carter. So it wasn't just the Bears. However, who else was gonna trade up ahead of PHI? If a team was there, why didn't the Bears take their offer instead? The one move up was weird if they knew the Bears weren't gonna take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 Poles went with the higher floor and I have no regrets having Darnell Wright on board. Wright fits the culture and as they say in business.....culture eats strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 Carter is trouble. We will see how he does in Philly with all those safeguards around him - things he just didnt have. i STILL think hes gonna flame out even with all that. But regardless, I also think Wright is gonna be a hall of famer. Its WAAAAY early, but that's my intuition on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Poles can shake this pattern that he brought with(Velus and Scott). Not saying they have major issues yet, but the signs are pointing. KC didn't have their #2 and #3 best players and Detroit still needed a pick-6 (that went right thru Toney's hand), and a fake punt on their own 17 to win by 1 point. Montgomery averaged 3.5 yards per carry (just like old times) and for how it seemed like Hutchinson was all over the field, he didn't record an official stat (tackle, sack, PD, INT). While he was doing double spin moves, he was losing contain, and Mahomes was gashing them on the ground. Up until the last drive where the Lions ran out the clock, Mahomes was the leading rusher in the game. So if Mahomes can get 45 yards that easily on 6 carries, can you imagine what Fields can get? Needless to say, I was not impressed by either team, but at least KC had an excuse. However, it's funny that the media gives Mahomes a pass when he doesn't have Kelce, but Fields should produce throwing to Pettis, ESB, and ISM?

Stinger226 Posted September 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 What I noticed the most was Detroit has a very good OL yet their running game didnt seem very special with an average defense. Hutchinson is the real deal. The NFL allowed the RT to move almost every snap or Hutch would have looked better. Without Kelce the Chiefs dont have a go to guy.

Hutchinson is the real deal. The NFL allowed the RT to move almost every snap or Hutch would have looked better. Without Kelce the Chiefs dont have a go to guy. I feel much better about the Bears after watching that game. Neither team looked good. Detroit scored 14 pts on offense against a defense missing their best player. The KC game looks winnable. We have a better running attack, and by all means, a better passing game, and a super dynamic QB compared to the statue in Goff. On defense, if that is the offense we need to defend against, I like our chances. For Detroit games, no one scares me. We have 3 good CBs, so St. Brown will get his catches, but I don't think they will be chunk plays. Gibbs may be the only one we need to be concerned about as he looked explosive. However, if you are just looking at top players, we match up pretty good against both of those teams. Fields, Moore, Herbert, Kmet, Ngakoue, Edmunds, Edwards, Johnson, Gordon, Brisker, Jackson would all be starters in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
