NFC North / NFL Thread 2017-18

[cheebs09]

He might, but he's also wasted several opportunities.  This Packers team has played two teams that currently have a winning record, and they lost badly to one of them.  I'm not convinced this team even wins the NFC North yet.  As good as Rodgers is, and he is great, there are many holes.

I'm feeling pretty good about the Packers chances in this division.

I HATE soccer. I thought there was a football game tonite.

Bradford may be the least mobile QB in the league right now.  He can't be healthy, they should get him out of there.

Ouch.

I KNEW you were going to say something like that.  Dork alert cubed.

Painful game to watch, but let's get this W Vikings!!! Skol!!!!

Fox pulling out all the stops. Trubisky looks meh, but at least his throws don't wobble down the field.

SPOILER ALERT:

The movie ends with Luke Skywalker becoming the Bears new starting QB.

Thus ending Luke's previously-illustrious career.

Quarterback #31!  That was funny.

Trubisky looked like Cutler on that play.

The Bears' receivers are brutal. Trubisky started scrambling and most of them just stood there. Get open!

And Mitch, throw it away, son!

[MerrittsMustache]

The Bears best option likely would have been to let them score, save your timeout and at least give the offense a chance.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

The experience will be very beneficial for him going into next season.

If recovered, I look into Allen Robinson next year.

With the Vikings' kicking game? Nah. I'd take my chances on a miss in that situation rather than count on a last-minute touchdown  drive from a first-time starter who just threw a terrible INT.

[GB Warrior]

Trubisky's stat-line was rough, but there were a couple of throws that were quite impressive and that I haven't seen out of a Bears QB in my lifetime. Of course, some of those had penalties and won't count, but the promise is still there. Bears are infinitely better seeing what this kid can do now.

As a Packer fan, I hope they decide to reinforce the defense instead of giving him an actual WR next offseason.

I don't mean to pick on Trubisky.  While it's way too early to tell if he'll be good,  the Bears have so little talent now that to ask too much is unrealistic.

And frankly the Vikings don't look much better.

I'm suddenly way less nervous about playing the Vikings on Sunday, that's for sure

I really love Gruden pretending that Bradford's health last night was the only thing standing in the way of being a top flight quarterback

In fairness, he played pretty well last year.  But right now Bradford's a shell of even himself.  And if Stafford is now hurt.......

Trubisky looked like a rookie QB in his first start. Some good, some bad. Unfortunately, the bad plays ended up being bigger than the good ones.

I agree with glow that it's tough to read too much into his performance since the WRs are so bad. I'm not sure they have anyone who's better than a #4 on a decent team. They can't get open and even if they do get open, they can't catch the ball consistently. What can be said for certain is that Trubisky is a better option than Mike Glennon.
