Re: RB Tarik Cohen signs 3yr, $9-17M deal

I like the guy and believe he has big play potential, but at some point potential has to produce. I was hoping the Cohen project was coming to an end for the reason he take snaps away from actual receivers and produces less than a touchdown and under 50 yards on offense per game over his tenure. The...

Re: Wk 2 // Bears def. Giants 17-13

The giants had zero timeouts with under 2 minutes to play and they couldn’t muster 1 sack, with multiple 3rd down opportunities. I’m sorry but the defense was built and is paid handsomely to go win that game. I also don’t get the mid game sputter or how this team can never collectively play consiste...

Re: Bears sign OT Germain Ifedi to 1-year deal

Being a bears fan from Seattle, I constantly hear about the O-line woes year after year. I’ve spent a lot of time digging into Ifedi’s film. Hawks fans rag on him but the film says he isn’t the main problem. Here are my 5 thoughts on Ifedi: 1) Ifedi has blocked for Russell Wilson his entire career, ...

Re: Bears acquiring Foles for a 4th

I used to have faith in Pace, was on the fence with Nagy after last season, now that is in question with the Foles signing. Foles is without a doubt the day 1 starter, there will be no competition. You don’t give up your only 4th round draft pick and take on a contract with $21MG with a $15.62M cap ...

Re: Bears fire OC Helfrich, coaches Hiestand (OL), Gilbride (TE), Olivo (ST Asst.)

This is a good start. The offense is a big problem holding back this teams success. The run game was a mess, the O-line was a mess and the TE’s were a mess!

LAR leads the NFL in pressures per drop back. Mitch has 0 TD's 2 INT's and a 45 Rating under pressure. Ugh. Which is a stark contrast to how well he performed under pressure last season. Statistically only Brees and Rivers were better. Exactly. I also feel a few things are playing into Trubisky not...

The bears are still a struggling team. With that said, I feel Nagy has come to terms with the offense isn’t where he thought or wants it to be.

When the O-line plays well, Trubisky is off, when Trubisky is on, the play calling is off and vice ve...

I’ve thought about this for awhile, we all know that the bears defense is legit, but that will only take the team so far. For me, the teams success will live and die with Trubisky.

Awesome win to get the bears rolling! The defense played lights out. Couple of thoughts: I would’ve like to see Pagano try a few different looks up that big on the score board.

Re: The Tape Never Lies- The Good, The Bad & The Trubisky (WEEK 2)

After watching last years and now this years film, I’ve come to this conclusion, Trusbisky is good on the move. Nagy’s mantra is “be you”, I think he needs to take his own advice and let Trubisky be himself. The offense would benefit greatly from play action and play action boots, this is a win/win....
