Bears & NFL Talk LXII: Down goes the Rams!

[BK]

Ertz has been more than fine for me. I need like .34 points with Cook and Minnesota D to play so I should definitely be advancing. Once again, thank you Amari Cooper!

I had a bye for the first week of playoffs.

 

[clydesdale line]

I had a bye for the first week of playoffs.

I was .16 short of getting one.

I was .16 short of getting one.

Ouch.

My big question is Trubisky or Rodgers next week?

 

[Elvis P]

I love the Bears having a great D again. I can't wait for the playoffs. This team is capable of going all the way.

 

[BK]

TD pass play today was name "Santa's Sleigh"....lol.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Yeah playing in LA doesn't scare me one bit. The Bears will give them another tough game and probably half the Coliseum will be cheering for the Bears anyway, if the way Packers and Vikings fans took over the place is any indication.

Yeah, it will be like the Hawks-Ducks conference final games from 2015. A very large contingent of visiting fans.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Ouch.

My big question is Trubisky or Rodgers next week?

I say play it safe and go with Rodgers in GB playing for playoff lives

Rodgers on year in 13 games
307/495 (62.0%)
3,700 yds
23 TD's
1 INT

Trubisky on year in 11 games
226/351 (64.3%)
2579 yds
21 TD's
12 INT's

Rodgers usually plays Bears well as seen in Week 1

This is fantasy so you have to include rush yards and TDs.

Ok that is factor I didn't think about

I still play it safe with Rodgers as I don't think Mitch running a bit more yds on ground and potential of a rushing TD should play factor (He has 3 rushing TD's in 11 games)

You have penalties for INT's , right? If so that highly favors Rodgers value consider he has just 1 in 13 games

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Goff played in Seattle last December 17. Rams won 42-7. Completed 66% of his passes, 2 TDs 1 int. Probably was 75 degrees that day. What is the temperature that makes Goff bad? Under 50? 40?

It was actually 51 in Seattle that day. I'm not putting much into weather excuse but I doubt Goff has played many games in his career below 40 degrees.

Lost in fantasy because I benched the bears defense. I'm so ashamed.

What D did you play?

 

[clydesdale line]

Yea I would say Rodgers definitely has the safer floor. Standard or PPR he is usually good for about 18-20+ points a week. Trubisky is the higher upside play because of his legs and much bigger fantasy games, but he is just so inconsistent week to week. If you are a high roller type of guy, Trubisky. If you are more of a safe and conservative type, Rodgers.

You should be. What D did you start over the Bears?

Bruh!

That was a terrible game by Mitch. His best pass was to Sowell. He needs to get his act together because this team is a legitimate contender.

It felt like Mitch started panicking early in the pocket because Fowler got to him a few times ... and the threat of Donald. Once he gets happy feet, he starts sailing his throws. Minus his terrible decision late in the 1H for a INT ... he actually threw to the right receivers on his other 2 INTs. He just threw 2 god awful balls.

Bottomline: Trubisky sucked last night. Luckily, the defense was awesome.

 

[TheSting]

Shannon still a Hater...

 

[saluki]

They have the D to go all the way.

But winning in NO will be a tall order. Hope for a Saints collapse.

Yep. While Mitch struggled last night, the Bears O did grind out almost 38 minutes time of possession thanks to the run game. They'll have to hold same on the time clock if they hope to have any chance against the Saints on the road.

 

[Illinihockey]

No his idiotic coach did that abandoning run

Goff had 44 passes to Gurley's 11 runs

Gurley had 28 yards rushing.

 

[Kurtosis]

It’s truly incredible the lengths some will go to in order to make excuses for Bears opponents as well as delegitimize their victories.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Can confirm it really wasn't cold. Wind was never more than a light breeze.

BWC's boy could've sucked that bad anywhere.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Shannon still a Hater...

He's spot on.

 

[ChiHawks10]

He's spot on.

Sounds like a clusterf*** of excuses from these guys to me. Deion especially sounds dumb.
