I almost feel like Mitch has regressed from last year to this year. I remember last year as being mostly positive for a rookie throwing to a bunch of nobodies. I don't remember the happy feet and general confusion from him. Maybe I'm mistaken. I agree. There seemed to be a lot more confidence and a...

I think the Rams are actually good, but yeah basically this. Chiefs look good too. Man, so jealous I want that type of QB on the Bears. I’m terrified that the Bears totally missed on Trubisky., Chiefs defense is a dumpster fire. They are the complete opposite of the Bears. The Rams might be the onl...

Happy for the win, but the offense did nothing to win that game. Nagy has been an absolute embarrassment on playcalling at this point. Trubisky has been horrible on throws and reads. Someone needs to point this out and fix the problem before next week. Seemed like (at least in the first half), every...

Do we remember the Bradford game last year? It was fun (the Bradford part, not the losing the game part). It was also the last time he saw the field in 2017. 2 weeks, two opposing QB's on the injury report. Pretty sure Bradford is having some sleepless nights this week.

Trubisky is going to be awesome. Just not sure when.........

I'm hoping it was just stagefright from Mitch playing in this new offense. He sure looked scared. Chase Daniel looked pretty poised in preseason because he is well versed on this offense. Daniel was making plays anywhere on the field, and he was tossing it to the 2nd stringers. This offense has too ...

That RT has to be sick to his stomach having to deal with Von Miller in week 1 and Khalil Mack in week 2.

No one was open The offensive line couldn't hold the pocket The dump pass was the only option most of the time No one was open because the plays Nagy was calling took too long to get someone open, and Trubisky looked rattled anytime he held the football longer than 2 seconds. Crossing patterns in t...

Jordan was very effective on the ground. They should have continued the smash mouth football while also taking more advantage of Howard's new ability to catch screen passes. Nagy went with a very conservative play calling scheme with gadget plays that seemed to create confusion even for the offense....

Seems like Coward could be getting groomed to take over RT. That would be a cheap replacement option at that position. They certainly aren't drafting a top RT and they won't have the money to spend on a top FA RT. Transitioning to RT in one offseason and earning a roster spot is pretty impressive.

Am I wrong thinking extensions usually get done before week 1 or not at all? Do we expect Amos to get an extension? Outside of Amos, the other starters or significant role players who could hit FA next year are Kush, Massie, O'Donnell, Scales, Callahan, Roberston-Harris (RFA). Only one of those guy...

They lose him for nothing if he comes back week 11 and finishes out the season too. Can they trade him and he's able to sign a multi-year deal (similar to Mack)? Just not sure if that's possible during the season, but thought about this earlier today. They can trade him, but still can't sign an ext...

He could be also trying to welcome the slight chance that he causes enough of a headache that Pittsburgh cedes and rescinds his offer sheet making him a UFA this season. Pittsburgh would be letting him walk for nothing if they did that. His agent has probably already explained to him that there is ...

But he should be mad at the Players Association for making it easy for teams to do this. Sitting out in protest during the season jeopardizes a lot of current and future earnings, IMO. That's kind of a stupid point. You can be mad at the NFLPA for putting you in a bad situation while also being mad...

I'm trying to understand what Bell's logic is in not showing up for camp at this point. Maybe I'm not understanding how the NFL collective bargaining agreement works, but from everything I've read and understand about it, Bell has absolutely no leverage and no dog in this fight at this point. The d...

I have a feeling Mack is going to play a lot. Not sure about Roquan I definitely want Smith in there on third and longs. His closing speed can turn a typical scrambling Rodgers first down saunter into a 4th down instead. He might need more time studying the playbook, but his instincts should be jus...

It will get interesting if Conner busts out for 200 or so all purpose yards on Sunday.

Mack will inspire double teams anytime he steps on the field. If Mack is in there, I want Roquan in there, too. One thing Rodgers has been good at is eluding pressure and taking off. Roquan's closing speed is going to turn Rodgers first down saunters into 4th downs.

Luckily there is football on all day, because Sunday night football is a long time to wait.

That sling arm pass of his has gotten him in a lot of trouble. Not sure how they didn't fix that throw early in his career.

Cousins and Stafford had on average 97 QB ratings the last 3 years with a 3:1 TD to INT rate (85:30) while throwing for about 4,500 yards per season. Trubisky is not better than that by a large margin. Gentlemen’s bet on who scores the most fantasy points between the three in a standard league? Thi...

I basically copied that list right off the Sun Times. I get the 5 TE's with Brown and Shaheen banged up. If I had to guess, I'd probably guess Grasu.

ETA: It's Kahlil Mack that isn't officially listed yet. So will it be Lynch or one of the kids that gets the axe?

Some surprises in thinning down to 53. They went with the youth at the tail end of the roster. QB- Trubisky, Daniel RB- Cohen, Cunningham, Howard FB- Burton WR- Bellamy, Gabriel, Miller, Robinson, White, Wims TE- Brauneker, Brown, Burton, Shaheen, Sims OL- Daniels, Grasu, Whitehair, Kush, Long, Cowa...
