OT: Bears & NFL Talk 80

[Backyard Hockey]

Not sure why you seem so adamant in trying to prove he’s not slow. He has no breakaway speed. Period.


Can you even name a slower starting RB in the entire league?

is Snacks Harrison a running back?

but seriously, I can’t think of a slower #1 run in the league.

we saw it on the long run a few games back. Every other #1 rb in the league scores on that run.

Ron Dayne was right there. Not sure how but Montgomery has gotten much slower since college. Yes the game is faster but he was never this slow, it is shocking.

Packers open as 7.5 favorites. You have to love the Bears to cover that.

 

[saluki]

I think I was right about Herbert being the #1 overall pick.

It's early, but you can't teach what he does.

No way. They can't score enough.

Yeah, but Dayne was who he was. He was a massive bruiser (255# as a rookie) meant to play in a 'thunder and lightning' tandem backfield like he did with Tiki Barber.

Montgomery weighs 215.

He's just not a #1 back in the NFL. He's cheap so he'll stay on the roster for now. If he stays healthy, he'll have a nice career as a #2/tandem guy and back up for inevitable starter injuries.

Yet another mistake by Pace/Nagy. Traded away Howard because he wasn't a receiving threat and couldn't fit Nagy's 'system'. Trade up and lose more draft picks to take a guy who is arguably the slowest starting RB in the league.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

No way. They can't score enough.

Bears will lose by at least 14 points. They simply can't put up enough points to beat GB.

Through 10 games, GB has scored 43, 42, 37, 30, 10, 35, 22, 34, 24 and 31.

Take the 10 point exception out, they are playing a team that puts up 30+ in their sleep. Let's assume the D plays well and holds them to say 24, does anyone believe this offense can score more than 24 points to win?

The Bears have scored more than 20 points in 4 of their 10 games this season and in 10 of their last 26 games. They scored 16 points in 2 games against GB last season.

5-1 to losing record.

Rashaan Salaam was incredibly slow.

Jordan Howard was just cut.
Ron Dayne wasn’t a bruising running back either.

Green Bay will also be super angry that the refs didn't pull out that win for them yesterday.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I'm not a betting man, but I'm going to pre-assume that we lose by more than a touchdown.

 

[Pez68]

Packers open as 7.5 favorites. You have to love the Bears to cover that.

I'd put the odds of the Bears covering that at ....1.5%.

They are going to get smoked.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bears cover the spread

[Blackhawkswincup]

I missed the games yesterday and just now am catching up

Terrible to see Burrow injury

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Tom Brady passing deep is an awful sight

You can give him all the talent in world at WR position but it wont change the fact he is not the same QB he once was and its is clearly showing

Those Brady picks were absolutely horrific tonight as Rams win in a good MNF matchup with Bucs

Maybe the media will dial down the Brady/Bucs hype

 

[Mrfenn92]

Trubisky to start Sunday

Trubisky to start Sunday

Never mind fake news on my part
Montgomery cleated for sunday

Sounds like Trubisky is starting on Sunday.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Watching Deshaun Watson play is a treat

I wish he was a Chicago Bear

 

[RayP]

Anyone else have a weird feeling the Bears somehow figure out a way to win a game they have no business winning this week?

And not even in a good way. In a way you still know they won't make the playoffs and solidify a mid first round pick.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Eddie Jackson good to go this Sunday
Tyler Bray to active roster.
John Jenkins to play.
Charles Leino missed practice

Bears have been playing so bad for so long you gotta figure they have a game that see's things go there way. No better time then to Packers

I could see Bears pulling off upset

All they had to do was stay at #3 and take Watson......I wouldn't even give a crap about Mahomes being better.
