I'd like to go on the record as saying that if we lost to the Bears by a close score, it would not necessarily constitute "laying an egg". At the moment, the Bears are playing as if they are one of the best teams in the NFC.
After losing to a non-playoff team last year in a 'win and you're in situation' then doing the same THIS year?
And in a sense we have slightly overachieved this season. Prognosticators predicted we would battle for the final spot in the division with the Bears while the Lions and Vikings would fight for the top. That is not to say we could have done more. We are in the first year of a rebuild. The Bears have been rebuilding for like 5.
Correct.
Did I mention the team we would have the possible loss against is getting the #1 pick 2 years in a row?
Yes. Their GM is not stupid. They have had a long dry spell.
Caleb Williams has hinted he doesn't want to play in Chicago. I could see the Bears trading back with Washington, Atlanta, Denver or Seattle. They'd get multiple 1's (& more) and still be able to draft Maye, Daniels or McCarthy. Poles is smart & for the next few years will have at least (2) #1 picks with his deals.
He wouldn't have the #1 this year if the Panthers had done what the Texans did. But yes, trading down from a top 3-5 should always give you another #1 next season.
Lol, or 40.
I can't see the Bears doing either of these things. Williams they don't need...and a trade back doesn't fix the O-Line. Joe Alt will go #1 to the Bears.
Alt #1, never happen. Somebody desperately wants Williams, Bears trade back & still get Harrison Jr. or OL help.
The Bears will take Williams at 1, since Fields hasn’t convinced anyone that he is the guy after this final performance. I live in the Chicagoland area and listen to the stupidity of the sports talk radio everyday for a good laugh.
Nah... but still Fire Joe Barry! As good as the D has played last 2 weeks it only proves the talent IS there, but not regularly being used properly.
'Twas sarcasm.
