OT: Bears & NFL Talk 77

BWC's boy Jay Cutler getting a divorce.

Celebrities really need to stop making reality TV shows. It never ends well afterwards.

Celebrities just have higher rates of divorce overall. Must be too much temptation!

BWC's boy Jay Cutler getting a divorce.

Celebrities really need to stop making reality TV shows. It never ends well afterwards.

Twitter says marital impropriety involved, since Sept. last year.

Bears release Tight End Dax Raymond.

My wife's annoyed as she thinks that Cutler is the best part of their crappy show.

He is by far the best part per my wife.

I just love their statement saying they "grew apart" when they are in the middle of a quarantine. Wouldn't the proper term for a divorce in the middle of a quarantine be that they suffocated each other or something?

If they lived a normal life like most but they don't. Also growing apart can easily mean that have changed over time and are different people.

12 wins is fantasyland. This is a 5-8 win team.

12 is too high but I could see them winning 9 or 10.

I'd put the range at 6-10 wins personally. +/- 2 wins from last years team.

 

[Mrfenn92]

The thing is this team can surprise thanks to their D. If the defense holds and the offense improves to mediocre or even decent, we're probably a playoff team.

We finished .500 with Mitch sucking up the joint.

The quaterback situation is below average, the offensive line stinks, and the defense is good but as good as people are making it out to be. I'll be shocked if this is a playoff team.

The failure of a marriage between an overpaid, underperforming, athlete and a talentless, reality-tv D-list celebrity is always tragic.

And the run game sucks too, which partly goes back to the offensive line and is partly because our RBs just aren’t that good.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hard to be good at running the ball when your coach shows no interest in trying to establish one.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Ouch

NFL draft next year date change
April 29th to may 1st. In Cleveland.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bears sign Nose tackle John Jenkins. Spent last year with Miami. Played for the bears the 2 seasons prior.

Both of our primary backs are undersized. We just can't run between the tackles and the O-Line sucks.

I think Montgomery could be good enough with an average offensive line. Not many RBs are going to have a chance to run the ball effectively getting hit 2 and 3 yards behind the LOS on every single run play.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

The criticism of the Bears (Oline, QB, et all) is valid. I just think that the difference between an 8 win team and a 6 or 10 win team isn't all that much. A few plays here or there. I wouldn't expect them to be a playoff team, but I don't think it's out of the question.

Get marginally better QB play (from last year) and a bit more TO luck and you can win a couple more games. And no, I don't expect the Bears to have 36 TOs again, but there's a wide range between that and the 19 they got last year (only 9 teams had less).

On the other hand the OL is what scares me the most and has a chance to kill the season.

I'm with you. I wouldn't write him off yet. I don't think he's special, but I could see him being solid. He/they need better OL play for sure though.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bears sign wife receiver & kick returner Trevor Davis to a one year deal. Played for green bay for 3 seasons, also Oakland and finished with Miami last year.

Favre: Packers 'burned a bridge' with Rodgers

Any NFL player who is miffed about getting the franchise tag, a player at their position being drafted, or doesn't think part of their job is helping their backup is a complete idiot.

This article is pointless because it's all Farve's opinion on what Rodgers thinks.

 

[Sarava]

Ouch

With her for 10 years? I think Jay scored a TD on this one.
