Gipper Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Although I like having the Bears for a punching bag twice a season, I hope they can figure stuff out. I still believe Nagy was a solid hire and should remain as coach. Their defense can be good at times, sure New Orleans torched them a few weeks ago, but that can be chalked up to a bad day at the office which is akin to Purdue's showing, or lack thereof, against Illinois. Therefore, I believe their real problem, to the surprise of nobody, is the offense. Trubisky is not the guy, nor will never be the guy, therefore a change needs to be implemented.

Coach Nowlin Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 They continue to be most successful under center with FB and single back to set up play action passes and bootleg action Nagy continues to stop using reason and stay cute until cute looks like it continues to look, then he goes back to logic, which typically is too late to salvage. In a week where Packers, Lions, Vikings all lost...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not have to be this hard when you have a top tier defense I'm listening to Kap & Co. and he has Jeff Dickerson on. JD believes they might just shut 10 down and get surgery on his shoulder, let him rehab, and see how he looks in the summer/training camp. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens. I don't know if it's that easy regarding the play-calling. The O-Line is absolutely dreadful. And even when Mitch is rolling out and finding time he can't hit an open WR. At this point when he does hit a WR in the hands they drop it. This offense has become unbelievably bad. Shame on me for looking forward to watching last nights game, staying up late (Eastern Time), then reading 20-30 minutes of twitter bashing from Chicago/National media. I could have saved myself the anguish of a brutal Monday morning in the office by going to bed at reasonable time and checking my phone this morning to see the inevitable Bears loss. On a side note, wouldn't any competent NFL GM have a slew of kickers visit Halas Hall this week to beat out Eddie? He has to be the worst kicker in the NFL.

While you're at it bring back Cutler. He's only 36, play action bootleg always was the offense he should've been in. He never wanted to be a pocket passer. Never understood why he was forced to stand in the pocket and launch the ball 60 yards. I hear he has his own reality TV show now too. What's to lose?

Muda69 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Nick Foles Reportedly Traded from Jaguars to Bears for 4th-Round Comp. Pick: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2757854-nick-foles-reportedly-traded-from-jaguars-to-bears-for-4th-round-comp-pick Quote The Jacksonville Jaguars are trading quarterback Nick Foles to the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jacksonville will receive Chicago's compensatory fourth-round pick. ESPN's Field Yates relayed the financial details: Field Yates@FieldYates The Bears will inherit the final three-years of Nick Foles' deal, which pays a base value of $50M. He slots in as their starter. The Jaguars will take on a dead cap charge of $18.75M for 2020, while stockpiling another draft pick as they go through a franchise transition. Foles was one of the top quarterbacks on the free-agent market last year, and he parlayed that status into a four-year, $88 million deal with the Jaguars. Jacksonville reached the AFC title game in 2017 before losing 11 games in 2018. The Jaguars sought to upgrade from Blake Bortles at quarterback, and signing Foles was the most straightforward option. Things quickly unraveled, though. Foles underwent surgery last September after breaking his clavicle in Week 1. He returned to the field in November but was benched for backup Gardner Minshew II in his third start back. All told, the 31-year-old threw for 736 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in four games. .... Foles left the Philadelphia Eagles with the goal of proving himself as a starter. He was unable to achieve that in 2019, but now he's set to challenge Mitchell Trubisky for the lead role in Chicago. Foles' second run with the Eagles showed how valuable he can be. Philadelphia's Super Bowl run in 2017 wouldn't have happened if he hadn't filled in so well for Carson Wentz and gotten hot in the playoffs. Even though Trubisky is only set to enter his fourth season in the league, Chicago is approaching a crossroads with him. The No. 2 overall pick in 2017 threw for 3,138 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2019, regressing from his Pro Bowl campaign in 2018. ESPN's Ed Werder reported Monday the Bears were looking to add Foles or Andy Dalton, which spoke volumes about how the front office viewed Trubisky. Chicago wasn't going to head into another year with a career backup such as Chase Daniel as the only alternative. Interesting. Are we sure about this "slots in as their starter" remark from Mr. Yates? Or will there be an honest-to-goodness competition between Mr. Foles and Mr. Trubisky for the starting job?

Coach Nowlin Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 It will be an open competition I am sure. Hate the Jimmy Graham signing.... Love the Quinn signing as a big upgrade from Floyd and cut his 13.2 M I think Mitch wins the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
