Your mother!

Can we get a do-over in which Chris Ballard doesn't get rejected for the GM job because he told Ted Phillips that he sucks poo poo and needs to go jump in Lake Michigan, and then he brings back Dave Toub?

Please? :smith:

Dave Toub is that one girl you dated senior year who you broke up with just before leaving for college who you cant stop thinking about twenty years later while writing an alimony check to that bitch you just got out of a messy divorce with.

As bad as the Bears are, I don't think they're bad enough to even go 2-14. In fact, I don't think anyone will this year. The worst record will be at least 3-4 wins unless something horrible happens. Like, more horrible than the Cutler injury.

Now if Forte were to also get hurt while Cutler's still out, yeah the Bears could lose 14 games. Other than that, uh. I mean maybe the Bucs? That team is hot garbage and could still win 3 or 4 more games and end up at least 5-11. In fact, I think 5-11 was my prediction for them this year.

I want to be a Bears fan. I've genuinely enjoyed watching Bears games; watching as a Broncos fan, of course.

But what the gently caress Bears. You hired the Coach that poo poo Cutler on you. A Coach with a history of conflict with said poo poo. The Coach who's last team was Peyton Manning's Fantasy Football Head Coaching Experience - presented by DraftKings. A Coach who gets fired after 4 years of consecutive play-off appearances. I hope you're backing him up with a good GM, at least!

In 2015, Pace was offered an interview for the general manager position by the New York Jets, but declined. He was later interviewed by the Chicago Bears for the general manager position on January 7, and was hired the next day. At 37 years of age at the time of his hiring, Pace is the youngest general manager in the NFL.

If forte gets hurt then you may as well place the the 0-16 crown on our heads now.

He could have run for 10k yards in the NFL if his body wasn't literally made of loving glass.

The guy just can't stay healthy. It never helped that he's just too tall and lanky to be a NFL RB, and he runs upright at 6'2, so his legs are always getting destroyed.

Basically he's the Chad Pennington of running backs. Could have been incredible, made of loving glass.

he was averaging drat near 200 total yards a game in 2009 and 2010. Never came close to staying healthy for a full season though.

If the Bears look serviceable vs the Raiders, they can get some wins this season. If the Raiders make them look silly...they are in trouble. They played 3 really good teams so far, if they at least dont play their next 4 games close, there only chance at a win is at the Bucs late in the season.

Yeah the closest he got was 2010.

In only 13 games he had 1600 yards from scrimmage and 10 TDs. Imagine that kind of pace if he could have ever stayed healthy...

He could have been amazing.

So my Ravens have managed to dig their way out of 0-16, but with Perriman completely out for the season with a glass knee, , and Steve Smith's broken ribs, we'll be lucky to win four more.

So can somebody please shine some light on my season? Is there perhaps an Ed Reed replacement in the 2016 draft we can suck hardcore for?

I'll even be gracious, and settle for a Troy Polamalu-caliber safety :D

We're getting owned downfield, and the corners can't shut down that end of the field on their own.

Bears actually have a pretty decent defense, at least better than the final scores indicate. If Cutler plays tomorrow and they can keep his pocket clean, it'll be a tough game for the Raiders who I still think are a 6-10/7-9 team. Oakland is getting Jelly Ellis(All Rookie team DL) back and the Bears are missing a couple o-linemen, including their LT, so Cutler needs to be at 100% or it's going to be a long day as the Raiders found their pass rush last week.

The Radiers are quietly building a good team. Carr/Cooper/Crabtree are a formidable trio and Khalil Mack is starting to play like he's capable of. They still have Jelly Ellis. Del Rio is a mediocre coach but he can still put together a quality defense.

The Bears need to build a pipeline of money to Vic Fangio's house. The fact that he's making this defense look competent is a miracle.

I'm still hopeful this is a one time thing for Perriman. If he can have a real rookie season next year, and we can draft another talent like Torry in the second round, that leaves us the first for d.
