It's increasingly looking like both Jenkins and Davis will be gone next year. So, 2 guards, maybe OT and C also, wow.

Re: Week 5 // Bears (2-2) vs Panthers (1-3)

The Bears add value to that 2025 2nd round pick they have from Carolina by putting on the big hurt. Carolina mgmt and coaching break out in tears at the job done by Caleb, D.J., Stephenson, et. al. while Bryce Young molders on the bench.

Bears: 31

Hey Rich, I'm recommending this for a low maintenance front lawn: 1. Plant a dogwood tree. They typically grow upwards of 15 to 25 feet tall.

Re: Week 4 // Bears (1-2) vs. Rams (1-2)

Colts were missing key defenders last week so the Bears, of course, couldn't run on them. Rams are missing their top 2 receivers but the D is playing very solidly, I don't expect a letdown from them. The Rams D has been porous on the run, just the Colts was, so this is going to be a key matchup; if ...

Re: What's your Panic-o-Meter at?

Washed up Sam Darnold has the Vikes at 3-0. The Pack loses their starting QB and is 2-0 behind a guy few thought should even be a league QB. Is this about the point that McCaskey or Poles or Warren sells their soul to get actual competent offensive coaching for the team before their #1 pick is wasted?

Re: Offensive Line - What will it look like

Looks like Pryor is going to start at RG. Early this week, with the Colts at 0-3 and the season looking bleak, they trade Quenton Nelson for the Bears' own 2nd round pick. The Colts at what? Yeah, a swing and a big miss on that one .... The Bears were the better team on paper but that coaching, yech.

This game is nigh unwatchable. Fire Flus and the offensive staff.
