That was the most awesome game no one ever saw including the players in it.The thirty-year anniversary of the "Fog Bowl" is tomorrow (December 31st 1988). I remember that game so well. Mike Tomczak was the Bears QB. Randall Cunningham threw for over four hundred yards..but no touchdowns.
This is probably the most likely scenario, but you never know. I think Playoff experience keeps it closer but still expect a Bears win.Bears win 27-10. I see no way Foles even finishes the game. I'm really happy for the Bears & especially their fans. Job well done.
Of course not. He's let his agent do all that.#Bears DC Vic Fangio said that he has done “zero” prep work for his Dolphins and Broncos interviews. He hasn’t returned to one message. He doesn’t plan to this week, not with the Eagles coming to town.
I won't be able to watch any others this week, except the Bears.Man I can’t wait for this game. Going to be tough to get into these others.
Agree. But watching the Seahawks beat the cowboys will be funMan I can’t wait for this game. Going to be tough to get into these others.
They messed it up last year.Not a fan of being in the last game of the WC round, but it is what it is.
Tried to watch ”Coaches Film” on NFL Game Pass last night and it is awful (not just the Soldier Field cam angle).
Well, they followed my advice. How'd that work out for you guys?I believe that if the Bears are smart they'll go in a different direction than your suggestion. As a Packer fan I hope they follow your advice to a tee.
Wow. That's exactly what he did! AmazingIf Pace hits the next 2 drafts like he did the last, and he gets the next qb, he'll be considered for GM of the year. But that's asking a lot of anyone.
All of themWhich one the the incoming QBs is a certain franchise guy, much less certain to be better than Glennon?
This guy got it!You and I appear to be the only two Bear fans to see this. I hope we are wrong and while I know Cutler lost a number of games for us, I also saw him win some for us. Glennon doesn't seem like he is going to win a game for us. He may not lose them for us either, but I don't see him making anywhere close to the throws that Cutler made (sometimes spectacularly, sometimes horribly).
If Trubisky is there at 3, I am all in. If not, lose them all this year and take one next year.
Mahomes, Watson, TrubiskyIf this was a good QB class, of course but I don't think it is. One of these QBs may be a future star but it's not a certainty. I don't think they should grab a QB at 1.03.
Said it before the draftThe so-called "analysts" out there are completely out of touch. Just trying to get attention and go with the national narrative. It's not a weak qb class. It just doesn't have that one huge name that a lot of the drafts have. Anyone saying it's weak is just repeating the nonsense they've heard a few "experts" say. Four qbs going in the first round, maybe in the first 15. Doesn't sound too weak to me. Enough with the overdrafting QB stuff. All qbs are "overdrafted." That's the nature of the position.
Glennon cannot be counted on for the future. It's why he got a one-year contract. Having a lot of visits with QBs. Has to mean they're going qb early. Haven't drafted a qb yet. They almost have to draft one. Third year of a redraft. Don't blow this, Pace. Take your guy and build around him.
Right nowThere will come a time where a lot of people will be proven wrong on this qb class being weak
Which is why you shouldn’t judge trades at face value until some time has passed.I wish I'd save all of the links of people trashing Pace's 2017 draft. Ignore the the "experts" on TV. Bears got their franchise qb and 2 ALL PROs in the 4th round.
Had to roll my eyes so many times hearing how Lynch fleeced Pace with the trade. Now look at the 49ers 2017 draft. Absolutely pitiful. All while Pace hit a grandslam. The talking morons on TV don't know ####.
Dude come on. Cox is the 2nd best D linemen in the league by a large margin. He'll show you guys Sunday.Khalil Mack, Kyle Fuller, Eddie Jackson and Tarik Cohen (as punt returner) are all AP All-Pros.
Hicks should've made it over Cox. He's way better.
I like seeing him go there. Should be funWhich is why you shouldn’t judge trades at face value until some time has passed.
How about that Mayock going to the Raiders to be their GM, though? That will be fun to watch unfold.
2nd best? UhhhhhhDude come on. Cox is the 2nd best D linemen in the league by a large margin. He'll show you guys Sunday.
Stats I posted above and the week 17 outlier performance by Cox say nope.Cox is the 2nd best D linemen in the league by a large margin.
Well yeah. Not going to say he's better than Donald. That dude's a monster.2nd best? Uhhhhhh
Your stats don't include how many times each were double teamed. Cox is double teamed nearly every play.Stats I posted above and the week 17 outlier performance by Cox say nope.
DT? We're not including guys like Mack or edge guys then.Well yeah. Not going to say he's better than Donald. That dude's a monster.
Yea my bad. DT.DT? We're not including guys like Mack or edge guys then.
Every time Mitch turns around from a play action, he's going to have to worry about Cox in his face.I'm not remotely concerned about Cox. Donald didn't come close to Mitch when they played the Rams.
That’s his fsking problem now, isn’t it?Your stats don't include how many times each were double teamed. Cox is double teamed nearly every play.
I don't see it happening. Bears have one of the top pass blocking OL in the league and have one of the best scramblers at qb. The Eagles defense, as a whole, doesn't scare me. They're a solid defense. No doubt. But the Bears will play good defense and establish the run game, while using Mitch to keep the chains moving.Every time Mitch turns around from a play action, he's going to have to worry about Cox in his face.
Just saying. It's pretty easy being a DT when you got Mack on the outside taking an extra guy a lot of the time.That’s his fsking problem now, isn’t it?
Numbers may not tell the whole story, but they don’t lie, either.
Either way, now we have a “game-within-the-game” to watch.
It definitely helps. Hicks is an animal, though. He's been destroying guys this year, but was a little hyperbole to say he was "way" better than Cox this year. It's a close call.Just saying. It's pretty easy being a DT when you got Mack on the outside taking an extra guy a lot of the time.
The positional breakdowns are so different now. He's classified as a DT in voting because he doesn't fall in the Edge category.Technically Hicks is a DE but he does play some 5-tech when they go 4-wide. No, I’m not digging into positional percentage breakdowns nor double-teams that deep.
I bet he gets home twice.I'm not remotely concerned about Cox. Donald didn't come close to Mitch when they played the Rams.
I’m a huge fan of Mahomes and Watson now that I’ve seen them in the NFL. I am not sold on Trubisky yet. Hope I’m wrong as a Bear fan.Mahomes, Watson, Trubisky
Yeah, it's confusing to me how they decide what position to sign the players on the line now because they play multiple positions.I’m saying in the base 3-4 he’s a DE, that’s all.
This rather like arguing about Chicago-style Italian beef vs. Philly cheesesteaks. I love me an authentic provolone ‘steak “wit” but extra giardiniera on an Italian beef is my preference.
I’m curious what is your point in quoting my post from nearly two years ago? My post wasn’t made with a “pound the desk” certainty. I used terms like “I don’t think”.Mahomes, Watson, Trubisky
Mitch was always considered more of a project than the other two but Mitch being top 5 to top 10 in passer rating, depending the the scale, in his second season and on the way to the playoffs is a solid start. He's gotten better as the season has went on. I'm pretty pumped.I’m a huge fan of Mahomes and Watson now that I’ve seen them in the NFL. I am not sold on Trubisky yet. Hope I’m wrong as a Bear fan.
