An early advantage, but all 3 teams will have to face him twice a year for 15+ years

Hmmm yes, that would be something.

The last Bears QB who was all pro was Sid Luckman in 1947. Hell, even the last QB just to make a pro bowl was McMahon in '86. The idea of the Bears having a perennial All Pro quarterback is literally beyond my ability to comprehend.

He had some very good games when people could actually catch his moonballs, and nearly as many where he threw 3+ picks. Statistically it's one of the most bizarre seasons I've ever seen for a QB but it makes sense if you saw the 2006 Bears.



I think the funniest one is the Vikings game where he went 6-19 for 34 yards and 3 picks and the Bears still won 23-13.

Defense and special teams can get you to a Super Bowl, ask Trent Dilfer or 2015 Peyton Manning.

I'd just like to see the Packers play a good first half. The only game so far where they weren't down at halftime was the Bears. The cowboys game was 21-6 at one point. I'd really like to see them play 60 minutes instead of wonder how Rodgers is going to get them out of this week's mess.

i cant fault them TOO much for the Ebron pick because some of this stuff is hindsight but it seems like they had their mind made up about not bringing Fairley back so passing on Donald irritated the poo poo out of me even at the time. i mean i wasnt thrilled about the pick because you can't really spin it as a need or BPA and how often are tight ends worthy of a top ten pick, plus his body of work didn't support it either. but even if you want to lend them the benefit of the doubt for all that they still definitely knew they needed a defensive tackle.

Trubisky showed a whole lot of promise while working with one of the worst WR corps I've ever seen.

Needs experience and time, but I think he might legitimately turn out well.

Also, deport that officiating crew, Bears didn't really deserve to win but hoo boy there were some questionable calls.

ESPN posted:

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered a hamstring injury and a sprained ankle in Detroit's 27-24 loss to Carolina, a source told ESPN Insider Dan Graziano, and Stafford's week of practice will determine whether he plays Sunday against New Orleans.

During an appearance on the Mitch Albom Show on WJR Radio in Detroit earlier Monday, Stafford was cagey about his status for Sunday. He declined to provide an update on the status of his ankle and leg, deferring questions to Lions coach Jim Caldwell. When asked directly if he was going to be playing Sunday, Stafford said, "I don't know yet. We'll see."

I thought David Sloan owned incredibly hard but I guess I was also 10 years old. If you need a Lions tight end with stone hands to compare him to it's obviously post-rookie year Brandon Pettigrew
