NFC North / NFL Thread 2018-19

Trubisky remains to be seen but by all definitions, this team looks like a threat to the Packers and that scumball team from Minneapolis.

A threat to win 7 games.

Folks, I hate to say this (maybe not, as I do have Bears season tickets) but the Bears are for real.

They've upgraded their offense and their Defense may be as good as the Urlacher led defenses that got them to the Super Bowl.

Over/Under most places was 6.5 or 7 wins for the Bears.

No non-QB is worth 3 wins in a season.

As a Raiders fan I do not like the trade...

You are the last Raiders fan standing...JG wasn't talking with Mack for months and wanted him gone. This is about Las Vegas and the long-term.

They waited to the end to sign up or sell as many tickets as possible and then gave their fans the Wisconsin Handshake.

The landscape of managing the cap has evolved. Unless you have Rodgers, Brees, or Brady, you're almost better off going all in and betting on a QB on a rookie wage deal and loading up while you have that flexibility. Look at the Seahawks (Wilson), Eagles (Wentz), Rams (Goff) as examples of teams taking advantage of their QB's being good and cheap and either re-loading (Seahawks) or loading up (Rams). The one glaring example is the Cowboys inability to take advantage of Prescott's deal.

This is exactly right. Once you have a QB plan in place, especially cheap, you have to go all in because the window of financial wiggle room is narrow. Have to go all in when you think you have the QB plan, not after you know

Yup.

Seattle is the perfect example - both before you have to pay a QB and then after he gets the big contract.

Rumors on twitter swirling that Bell might not come back till week 10.

Go pick up James Connor on your fantasy teams.

Looking forward to he Cousins experiment.

My prediction.....implosion

[real chili 83]

 Cousins pretty good today.

[Pakuni]

Nathan Peterman ought to be Plaintiff's Exhibit #1 in Colin Kaepernick's collusion trial.

[Dish]

Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward were really good today, inspite of the Browns tie. We'll eventually find out if Mayfield can play, but that defense has potential to be really good soon.

Geez, that was an ass whipping first offensive drive by the Bears. Easy to script the first drive of the season, can they keep it up though?

GB trying to prove it wasn't the defensive coordinator that was the problem on defense.

[MU82]

Nice win for my Panthers despite a string of injuries to important players. Dominated pretty much the entire game but messed up just enough to keep the Cowboys thinking they had a chance.

Otherwise, I couldn't believe how poorly N.O.'s defense played against T.B. They made Fitzpatrick look like Unitas.

[Jay Bee]

SKOL VIKINGS!!

Yep. To be fair though Trubisky looks much improved.

[wadesworld]

Good God Mac sucks.

Coaching isn't great but it's not the main problem. Talent is poor.

[Lennys Tap]

Good God Mac sucks.

Who's Mac?

[Dish]

That didn't look good.

[Jockey]

One team was ready to play; one team wasn't ready.

That's on the coach.

[Dish]

That legit sucks on Rodgers. Hopefully it's just a high ankle sprain and back in a couple weeks.

Kizer time! Packers look like turds -- love it!

[Dish]

Khalil Mack is a dude, what a play.
