Dude caught 2 balls, one on the last play of the game on a hail mary. Not like he had a breakout game.

Looks like he played 44 of 60 snaps yesterday, while in previous games it was 50 of 59, 46 of 53, 64 of 69, so he definitely played less than usual. That had to be why Josh Bellamy was such a part of our lives again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think they should let Mack heal up for the next two weeks since they should be able to win those games without him. It was clear that he was nowhere near 100% yesterday and having a player of his caliber play through an injury is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's working, they are a nightmare matchup for anyone. I know Leonard Floyd broke his hand in preseason, but he has been brutal this year. Hasn't sniffed the QB it seems on the pass rush and has not been great in coverage (granted my most recent watching came when he was utterly abused by James White, which many a linebacker has had happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if he continued to do something moving forward as it would be another good option. Maybe bust is a bit much for Robinson as he isn't paid all that much but he has 11 catches in his last 4 games for 141 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came out for the last 3 series. Presume it was due to him reaggravating or just not being effective. I am afraid Bears will have rushed Mack and Robinson and instead of having them miss 1 game, we'll have them ineffective for a game or two and than out for like 3 games.

When it's working, they are a nightmare matchup for anyone. They haven't tackled well and have actually looked slow laterally the past few weeks (in the LB corps)...which absolutely shouldn't be the case. Not sure what the deal is but they just look flat. I also think Fangio keeps thinking they'll beat their guys and thus isn't using scheme to an advantage at all. I literally feel like no one has been coaching this d the past few weeks as we presume our talent will carry us and thus we can play pretty "vanilla". I hope Fangio puts the fut on the gas the rest of the season and starts getting creative scheme wise and that it helps maximize the talent.

soxfan49 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 At one point yesterday I saw Floyd jog off holding that hand again, so maybe it's still not healthy...at least I hope so, or else he's not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 By the way, for all the griping I'm doing, long-term, I continued to get more excited (vs. less) about the franchises future. It is also fun to know that, talent wise, we belong with the best teams in the NFL. Unfortunately, we still have a long ways to go when it comes to doing the "little" things it takes to win football games and close-out games. I hope that will come over time...but as a good starting point, it is nice to basically be in every game we play (and not by "fluke"). Its been the opposite where "fluke" has cost the Bears 2 games.

Soxbadger Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 For as critical as Ive been, the Bears are doing better than I thought. 8 wins would be a big accomplishment. Trubisky needs more reps to see if he can improve his consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I get wanting to win (I wanted to win too), and I am also tired of moral victories, but it's hard not to note that the bears were in a competitive game against the patriots considering the last few times they played (even considered playoff potential teams) they were blown out by a combined score of 87-30.

Soxbadger Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Bears should try and get Patrick Peterson from the Cardinals. I think they are pretty close on cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I am finely okay trading Jordan Howard. I would have thought the Bears could have better fit him in this offense, but if they were able to get a pick or two and than fill another hole with a good piece that can be around a few years, I would do it. Of course my preference would be to figure out how to leverage Jordan Howard. Dude is a beast but he's been completely neutered by scheme / use. Some is on him / some on our coaches, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's possible, but also that will be a tough contract to trade. Compensation may not be what AZ fans hope.

I can't imagine the Bears have the draft capital to pull that off...unless they get creative and do some three team swap involving Jordan Howard.

I remember when the Bears signed him, I was completely perplexed...than we drafted Shaheen with a 2nd round pick and was even more perplexed. Of all of Pace's moves, those two just struck me as extremely odd. I was somewhere hoping Pace was an evil genius, but that definitely wasn't the case. Maybe Shaheen will prove me wrong but that still looked like an overdraft in my mind. That said, I can see that Shaheen has talent....Simms is just a bum.
