Bears can't even win next week and get out of the basement of the NFC. Frustrating. With all 4 NFC Division leaders at 4-1, the playoff race for the Bears is going to be for one of the 3 WC slots: GB 2-1-1 (Bears have 2 left against them) MIN 3-2 (Bears need to even up the series) SEA 3-2 ----------------------------------------- WAS 3-2 (Bears need to beat them next week) LAR 3-2 DAL 2-2-1 (Bears already beat) ATL 2-2 CHI 2-2 The WAS game is huge because it is a conference game and the Bears are 1-2 in the Conf. A Bears win and they would own H2H tiebreakers with both WAS and DAL, but since DAL tied, they will more than likely not end up with the same record as them. It seems like all 8 of these teams will be "in the hunt" in late December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted yesterday at 02:18 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:18 AM It is hard to believe Baltimore is 1-4. I believe they were the preseason favorites to win the SB and Lamar the MVP. They were still sitting 4th highest odds before getting destroyed at home by Houston today. Looking at the schedule, the Bears can really shake their odds with a win in Was, then Saints, Ravens, Bengals, and Giants. I expect Lamar back after their bye, so him and Jayden will be the qb tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have it in us to win or lose to each of these teams depending entirely on ourselves, and more and more this team is starting to believe.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted yesterday at 04:08 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:08 AM And now Drake Maye has a career game against the Bills on national tv, because of course he does. Nix has a 4th quarter comeback against the best team in football... This really has been the worst week for the Bears. It's beyond frustrating to see Caleb grow as a quarterback and still make up almost no ground on anybody else in his class. And it's not just that he hasn't made up ground, it's that those other guys are all arguably top 10-12 quarterbacks now with the exception of McCarthy and maybe Penix (for now). It pisses me off. It almost feels like next Monday night is becoming a must win, just to stop the media circus that will certainly ensue if Caleb doesn't play well while his peers have all gotten their statement games out of the way.

I'm very curious what changes BJ can make in us running the ball and do a better job at stopping the run. I think everyone will be healthy but JJ on defense so that should help. I think Monangai gets more touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Monangai gets more touches. It's definitely time for Monangai to get more touches, and I personally would like to see them bring Brittain Brown up from the practice Squad too - I thought he looked really good in preseason action. There's a lot of buzz around a trade, but I dunno what will happen with that, whether it's really real inside Halas Hall, what theyre thinking. I dont think Swift is very good. I mean hes better than a lot of backs in terms of having a wider skills set, but he doesnt have great vision when he's got the ball, and he doesnt get north/south fast enough to blast through. I saw some stat that we were #1 in the league in yards before the HB is first touched - which says decent things about our line - but we've all also seen the line fail work together to make it happen especially on the left side before Benedet got in there. But Swift has a 3.3 yards per carry, so that somewhat points the finger at him. Also reading that Johnson may tinker with the scheme during the bye, some guess to move to more outside zone blocking scheme and fewer power run schemed plays. All this to say there are a lot of tweaks in terms of players and scheme that could be tried, and using Monanagai more is probably strongly on that menu. And like I said, I'd love to see Brittain Brown get some carries and see how he is in there, and I wouldnt turn my nose up at a guy like Breece Hall from the Jets (assuming his injury this week isnt bad).

adam Posted yesterday at 02:04 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:04 PM With BUF losing, there are no undefeated teams. So the Bears are only 1 loss out of being the best team in football right now, and 2 wins from being the worst lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I cant wait for Monday to come. On X and Youtube, lots of people saying we are linked to different players to bring in on the DL and RB. I dont know if we have the answer on the team but Im not sure the Bears are in emergency mode to go after someone or that someone is actually available that could help. Latest I seen was Cam Jordan. He has two sacks and would not be expensive . Basically would be around 7 mil left on salary but NO has never stated they want to dump contracts. In 5 games he has 2 sacks but at 36 does DA want to give him snaps that he would give to Austin Booker that will be back this week? Being 2-2 and having several players coming back from injury, I think they roll with what they have an if things dont improve, maybe try to find someone at the trading deadline. I dont think they are quite in panic mode just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago There are 3 players I’m interested in. Jeffrey Simmons. Max Crosby. Breece Hall. I believe the first two are signed for at least two more seasons. Hall will need a new contract which makes him a more challenging option.

If we could find a way to get Maxx Crosby, that'd be amazing. He is a one man wrecking crew. And we know he likes Caleb. His contract is set up so that the Raiders can trade him without too much cap destruction, and his contract has a cap cost of between $27M and $30M the next few years. Not bad at all! Plus he's only 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosby would be very expensive. On a side note, if Booker shows he's a keeper, we could trade Montez and Dexter for Crosby. Then, send a pick for Simmons...

I have seen no announcement that they have opened up the window for him to suit up and be evaluated for game reps. We need him big time for our pass rush.

BearFan PHX Posted 46 minutes ago Report Share Posted 46 minutes ago Booker is a good rotational piece and still has lots of room to grow, but I dont think he is an immediate impact, or will fix our pass rush this year? I hope he reaches his potential and becomes and awesome stud, but I think he is a #3 right now, and we will still look for impact pass rushers in trade, free agency or the draft coming up.

They have a 21 day window to place them on the active roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he is ready for action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
