GGajewski18 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Monte Ball might be getting cut as well and could be a pick up for the Bears. Forte, Ball, Langford, Carey would be siiiiiiick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The Bears get embarrassed minus Jeffery, Royal and Wilson on Saturday and all of a sudden the articles written by beat writers months ago about "worst team in the NFL" can finally be published.

Am I the only one who thinks that they can win 6-8 games? No I think they are a 6-7 win team if the WR's are healthy. The only way they go 2-14, 3-13 is if Cutler goes down. That's the only way.

Brian Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think coaching could make a difference where they could get 8 wins but not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Their defense is franchise-history bad. Cutler will mope around and be average at best. Jeffrey seems to be injured more than they are letting on. Forte isn't getting any younger. If this team wins 5 or more games, Fox deserves coach of the year consideration.

GoSox05 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's not fun to watch, but ultimately wouldn't you want to be a 3 or 4 win team over being 6 or 7 win team? Could be the difference in getting one of the better QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If you think this defense is going to be worst than last year, I don't know what to tell ya. Also, likely due to a more balanced offense we will hopefully see a better TOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah there is no chance the defense is a bad or worse than last year. They literally had a hard time stopping any drive of the opponent. Even with worse players Fangio will have them cohesive enough to be better than that mess of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the crop of QB's looks like, but if it's a short list, make sure you're in the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Bears acquired TE Khari Lee from the Texans in exchange for a 2017 sixth-round pick. Lee was an All-American at D-2 Bowie State and signed with the Texans as an undrafted free agent. He didn't impress at his Pro Day, however, displaying subpar athleticism with a 5.05 forty and 9-foot-7 broad jump. Lee caught 5-of-6 preseason targets for 71 scoreless yards. The Bears like him as an inline blocker. Source: John McClain on Twitter Edited September 2, 2015 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys watched the last preseason game with the starting D unit getting steamrolled right? What have you seen thus far to make you think they'll be any better? Throw in the injuries/suspension too. Other than unbridled hope and optimism that new/different = better, there's no reason to think this year will be any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 For whatever reason I like the front 7. At least the starters anyway. Allen, McPhee, Houston, Young, and Nacho have all showed signs of being able to play the position. I think they'll be much better against the run. Against the pass is gonna be a problem though. I do believe Fox and Donatell specifically are guys who are pretty good at teaching up the secondary though and expect the young guys to get better as the year goes on.

bmags Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The bears last year had 3 straight games where they were down by 30 points or more at halftime. I don't know if you assume that by people thinking the bears will improve means that they are the seahawks, but, no I do not expect the Bears to have 3 straight games giving up 30+ points at halftime. I expect the one of the best game planning defensive coordinators in football to create more effective defenses than Mel Tucker. The secondary, to me, does not seem appreciably worse than last year. The linebackers are going to be better, the line better. Does that mean top 15 d? No, but is that an improvement to last year? yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah, I don't know if they'll win any more games, but I don't expect the embarrassing blowouts in multiple games like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
