    This over rated Bears defense sucks!

    Holy shit this defense is ridiculous.  Missing 3 key guys and still completely dominated Minnesota.

    Can't wait to hear all the talk about Daniel being the better option than Trubisky.  He's a really good backup QB, but he's been a backup QB his entire career for a reason.  Hopefully Mitch can come back after the bye week.  Good thing it wasn't his throwing arm because he'd prob be out for the year.

    I'm curious what's going on with Roquan Smith. Read today that he has "not been acting like himself around team facilities." I hope he's not mixed up in anything bad.

    Yeah that whole thing seems very strange.  When I first heard about it I assumed he had a death in the family or something like that but then he was just standing on the sidelines during the game Sunday.  Hopefully everything is OK with him.  Doubt he plays Sunday so hopefully he's ready to go after the bye week.

    Roquan expected to play Sunday.  Still no word on what the issue was.

    Can a Bears fan explain to a Raiders fan why this is being billed as the Khalil Mack Revenge game??

    dude had two years left (plus franchise tag years).  Turned down a deal to make him the highest paid. The next year he held out like Levon Bell so we traded him to someone who assured that they would pay him.  

    How did we do wrong by Mack??

    It seems like it's just a media thing looking for a storyline for the game.

    Raiders didn't do anything wrong...they just did something really dumb by trading away one of the best defensive players in the league.  And I'm pretty sure he only had 1 year left on his contract when he held out.  Still can't believe he's on the Bears...he's so damn good.

    Agreed. All media hype BS. This is just another game on the schedule for him. One that he’s going to dominate, but that’s nothing new!

    What a shit show that was. Chase Daniel did make a few really nice throws.

    And a few horrible throws.  Should have had 3 picks but got lucky the refs called an absurd roughing the passer penalty.  Hopefully all the silly talk of Daniel being a better option that Trubisky is over.  Not that Trubisky is much better but he definitely has a much higher ceiling.

    Such a frustrating game to lose.  Defense was not good at all....Oakland ran all over them.  Offensive line stunk most of the game too.  That running into the kicker penalty was an absolute killer.  No idea why they would even risk sending anyone after the punter in that situation....just get the ball back and try to run out the clock.  Probably a great time for the bye week to get some guys healthy and get this offense figured out.

    ^^^The defense definitely didn't play too well today. That said, doesn't this team have shades of the 2nd year Trestman team? Season was was beyond expectations, so 2nd year expectations were sky high. Defenses both very good and supposed offensive geniuses along with offensive personnel improvements and mediocre results this far.

    Defense was really bad yesterday.  Only 1 QB hit the entire game.  And it looks like Hicks will be missing at least a few weeks.  Not good.

    Nothing will ever be as bad as the Trestman era.  But yeah the high expectations coming into this season have not been met at all.

    What a steaming pile that game was!
    QB:  Well, Daniel showed why he's been a career backup.  Not saying Trub is much better, he just has more in his pocket to work with.  Hopefully we get him back after the bye.
    RB:  Another game of terrible play calling and a non-existent running game.  I know for a fact that until the Bears fix their o-line, the running game will continue to do absolutely nothing.  
    O-line:  This has got to be, or become, one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL.  I don't know how or why Leno is a professional football player.  He is absolutely terrible.  I'm pretty sure Howie Long could play better than Chris Long at this point.  The guy is so bad.  They all just seem so uncoordinated.  
    WRs:  Robinson continues to play great ball.  Miller makes some big plays then makes some boneheaded plays.  Is Wims capable of actually ever getting open?  It's going to be good to get Gabriel back.
    Dline:  No pressure, no nothing.  Losing Hicks is going to hurt.  Can't imagine seeing him back for at least 4-5 weeks.
    LBs:  They honestly seem confused most of the game.  The Raiders didn't play well, but they formulated a good gameplan.  No more than a 3 step drop, count "1, 2, 3", get rid of the ball.  For as good of a defense the Bears have, this plan does seem to be their one issue.
    Backs:  While they played ok, it does show you how much that front 7' presence is and their importance on getting pressure is.

    Nagy needs to consider giving up the play calling.  Offense is really bad this year and it wasn't good last year.  If it wasn't for the tricky plays last year, they would have been nothing.  I'm not sure what they can do to coach up the 0-line, if anything.  I do think it's more player/talent related as to why we can't get things moving.  

    The Bears need that much deserved break as do the fans after that last game.  Fuck me.

    Great article about Kyle Long.  He was an absolute beast his first 4 seasons and seems like a genuinely good guy.  Too bad injuries derailed his career....

    ^^^It's too bad. Went from being a "WTF" draft pick, to a real team leader and finally, a quick exit.

    Saints vs. Bears 

    A game highlighted on the schedule since the preseason as a must watch game. Now, the 1 loss Saints roll into Chicago without Brees, Kamara or Cook, to face the average 3-2 Bears. Meh...

    Absolutely fucking pathetic by the offense and the defense.  What a disaster.

    Coming off a bye is what kills me the most.  They had two weeks to prepare after getting embarrassed by Oakland, and this is the best they could muster up.

    This team is an absolute joke. It's hard to think that Pace has 2 blunders that each outweigh the fantastic move of bringing Mack to Chicago.
