ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 07:50 PM) So Blake bottles had a hell of a year. Jax may be really good next year. He's been good but he's had a much better fantasy year than real year. A lot of his numbers are inflated due to game situations and he's still made a lot of bone headed plays. That said, he has improved throughout the season and that offense has a lot of weapons now. They need help on the O-line but they could be a playoff team next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The asshole is the reason we won't make the playoffs this year. If we have 2013 Gould, this is a playoff team, and a maybe first place team.

GoSox05 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 If you are depending on your kicker to win games at home versus two teams that were a combined 0-10 on the road. You don't deserve to make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure don't. If the Packers keep playing that way, it's going to be a short playoff run. Or losing to that same Lions team at home or losing to the Bears at home for that matter. Mason Crosby missed a couple field goals in those games. He is the main reason the Packers lost. Nothing else.

bmags Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm fine with this season. Next year everyone will say "man the bears performed poorly in one score games, they should see a regression", and they are probably right! The real issue to clean up next year, assuming kicker returns to normal, is penalties. Upgrading at guard seems like it should kill two birds with one stone there.

That is what blows my mind. This team is close to a playoff team, with a ton of garbage on the roster. Make some hits in free agency and the draft, plus have White here next year, and you could have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) The play calling could have been better, but let's not kid ourselves. This one is on Gould. We were in position to tie and he failed. Okay I realize part of this is cause he missed the easy ones a week before. But 50 yards in those conditions is no gimme. I really don't understand what the hell we were doing with the playcalling, etc. That said, our oline played like ass. I didn't even know how Jay was walking after that first half.

Yeah - Gould is an issue that will get addressed. Either we'll see him correct / clean-up his mechanics or we won't and they'll make changes. The penalties and poor oline play (that sack leading to a fumble in first half was brutal and it wasn't the only lets get Jay killed moment by the oline). You realize our play calling has masked what is still a really horrific unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a 10-20 pick, in first round, a capable front office should still be able to have a quality draft. EDITED: added "majority" nobody hits on all their draft picks!!

It seems like he misses in game-winning situations almost every time. I've thought that well before these last 2 weeks and this just cemented it.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I've been pondering this for a bit and was wondering what other people thought Eddie Goldman has looked the part of a pass rusher since becoming a starter. The Bears run defense has again looked pretty bad. We always talk about the Bears needing a 5 tech who can get after the QB. What are you're thoughts on moving Goldman outside and going after Damon Harrison to help with the run defense? I've read that the Jets will be moving on in favor of resigning/franchising Wilkerson. Perhaps you can still go out and grab a 3rd starter on the line in the draft or in FA(Derek Wolfe?), but I think between Sutton and Ego you might already have that 3rd guy.

Until the Bears get inside linebackers that know how to read and react in the middle, the defensive line is irrelevant. The middle of the field from the LOS and 15 yards downfield is easy money.

Bears will have boatlods of money and think they make a splash. Harrison and Travathon are my guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bears run defense really wasnt that bad yesterday, the Redskins averaged 3 YPCto the Bears 4 YPC. Shea, Anderson, and Jones were f***ing terrible yesterday and every large play went right at them Goldman was drafted to be the man in the middle and he was an absolute beast yesterday, i dont think the Bears are going to change that.
