Oso planning to go pro
but they are not embarrassing
Looks like the Bears march to greatness is going to continue with another loss. The 4-13 dream lives!!!
Except for the injuries, ideal outcome. Competitive the whole way, a loss, and one more week down.I say this because it’s true, you (Sultan) are smart enough to know the worst thing you can be in pro sports is in purgatory hell as a barely under .500 to barely over .500 team. There’s absolutely no point whatsoever for the Bears to win a single game from here on out.
The NBA? Yep. The NFL? Not really.Philadelphia was 9-8 last year. Minnesota was 8-9. They are probably the two top seeds in the NFC this year.You don't think teams like Detroit believe that going from 3-13-1 to near .500 (and possibly a playoff birth) is a sign of progress? Do you think they are regretting winning these games because they may have a 2nd place schedule and lower draft picks next year? Not a chance.
That Pokes/Jags game was wild.
Oh, yeah?!?!?! Fine, we'll give the chipping lesson to charity!
Your lads took care of business. Mine couldn't stop the mighty Steelers just about all game.
So what goodwill would the Bears finishing 5-12 instead of 3-14 bring them? Sure, I agree if you make the leap the next season after being 3-14 is obviously great and what you want. Progress is of course what you want from year to year. Philly is better as their young QB progressed. If you’re constantly 6-11 to 9-8, what good is that? Bears last three seasons, 8-8, 8-8, 6-11. That’s not a long term recipe for success. Bottoming out, with their QB position set is the best possible outcome.I mean this as a compliment, you’re better than this take.
NFL: Indy (2x), Bengals & Bills off the top of my head. I think Vikings did this and the Eagles dumped talent for draft picks. Those two teams have been building towards wining and last year was positive for both teams. The Bear's and us fans will be happy if the Bears are 8-9 or 9-8 next year. That would be the next positive step in the process. Tanking is one strategy but has no guaranty of success. If the Bears' management and coaches suck, then this will be a terrible mess. The fact they have a plan that does not include getting the 14-18 pick every year is good. EDIT: - Also 49ers 2016-2018 tanked.
The play that won it for Detroit was basically a goal line play. St Brown in motion left to right, all motion to the right off the snap. Tight end drags across the field right to left. You see variations off it all of the time at the goal line. He caught the ball and there was no one around. 50 yards later... Badly blown coverage by the Jets.
He chipped and then crossed the formation against the flow. Again, goal line play. 1 yard throw. Works well. Never thought it could go for 50.
Hurts RTG - 65Fields RTG - 119Considering the intentional lack of talent on the Bears, they have been some what competitive. (I'm not saying they are like 10-15 plays from being a .500 team, but they are not embarrassing)
You said “barely .500” before and now are saying 5-12? You’re better than shifting goalpost arguments. The reason the Bears haven’t made the leap from near .500 isn’t because they are drafting around 15 or so. It is because they made horrible personnel and coaching decisions. Even at the top of the draft!They now have new guys in charge. If they are good, they will find talent no matter where they draft. If they aren’t, it won’t matter where they draft. This isn’t the NBA.
Losing 10 out of last 11 games isn’t embarrassing?
OMG Patriots.
