Kyyle23 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 08:42 AM) Weeden blows, but the Browns are tough otherwise. The Bills also haven't had a game this year where they didn't have a chance to win late. Those are two very, very tough games coming up for them still. It's crazy to think that the Chiefs are still undefeated, because I don'tt hink I've ever seen the NFL with so much parody. With the exception of the Jags, it really does feel like anyone can beat anyone right now on any given day.

GoSox05 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Browns could have a really good team. If they had a QB they could be a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I know I've said it before, but it remains so freaking true. If ever you root for a team that's main concern is depth, that team will ALWAYS get ravaged by injuries in the thinnest positions. I don't know what to even think anymore. We thought this was our last year b/c of the defense, but clearly last year was our last year with a competent D. We have an offense. Hooray. Now we need a new D. Pretty much need new blood at every position. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well, we get to see all of our rookie linebackers. Really sucks no briggs. Our young guys are going to get forced into the spotlight. Briggsy has consistently been one of my all time favorite Bears (along with Peanut). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I guess the one nice thing is we were so urgent to win this year thinking it was the last year for the defense. But the defense is already terrible so it's less awful to lose the year. Interesting things will come up re: Cutler. We need so much help on D, do you commit to Cutler? You have a QB coach now, can they turn someone else into a star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a nice window coming up with this offense so I don't see a problem sticking with Jay and investing in the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't know how much money you're really going to save, but you might be able to save a few bucks if you show good faith and make an offer while he is injured. He's got such a nice rapport with other key members of this offense now, I think you sign him and know that McCown is a competent backup (man, was he great yesterday!).

He's got such a nice rapport with other key members of this offense now, I think you sign him and know that McCown is a competent backup (man, was he great yesterday!). Agreed. I look at Jay's numbers this year and they were pretty impressive and I thought he was getting better each week. He's still young enough that he has plenty of time left and I think starting over does a disservice to the current weapons we have on offense. I think they need to look for a slot receiver and a center (plus start thinking about a forte replacement) and focus on the dline (and also secondary while perhaps considering a move of Tillman to safety).

bmags Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I do wonder how much less he'll get though. The QB salary is anchored so high I don't even know what a discount would really bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
