I don't know. People are high after that win but Seattle just missed two pick-6's that would have completely changed that game. The problem when you have no offense is your margin of error is small. The defense should dominate most of those teams on the list but if the offense has one of those 180 yards of total offense games where Mitch throws a couple picks, they'll lose to anyone.

I agree. It's why my expectations are really at 8 wins. If the offense steadily improves though, then I think 10 wins is doable. Big IF there obviously. The Bears got to the loving Super Bowl with a pretty average offense and a dominating defense, so who the hell knows what happens.

Also that Packers game isn't that close if Rodgers doesn't get hurt. That Kizer pick-6 was a huge play. Not to mention his fumble in the red zone.

Yeah don’t let what ifs cloud your mind. The Bears are 1-1 that’s all they are, I’m sure you can create scenarios were they are 2-0 or 0-2 but it doesn’t mean anything.

If it were up to me, Hester would be a first ballot hall of famer.

No one else in football has given me quite that same sense of dread whenever he was on the field. Ive probably said "Don't kick it to Hester" at my TV more than any other phrase, maybe even more than "don't throw a pick" through 16 years of the NFL's all time interception leader.

I just wanna say that the Bears will probably beat the Vikings in Chicago, because the Vikings seem to play awful whenever they play outside a dome. I think the only exception I've seen is when they play the Rams.

This is that hit on Adams that he led with his helmet and made first contact with his helmet? Yeah there's no way the referees said he did everything right, unless it was Corrente himself.

from what I recall on the replay, he didn't make first contact with the helmet, but he did make helmet-to-helmet contact as Adams was being brought down, which is still a penalty.

I only saw it live, not the replay, so I'll defer to you here. I'm not inclined to give Sendejo the benefit of the doubt on these things in the first place anyway.

Sendejo can say whatever the hell he wants, there was no question at broadcast time either live or looking at the replay that he was getting flagged for that. He's the latest in a long line of defensive backs who's tried to up Devante's concussion count while he's airborne or in the process of landing.

Why are the Lions playing Graham Glasgow at center and Frank Ragnow at LG when Glasgow started at LG last year and Ragnow started at C in college? Ragnow got his rear end handed to him last week.

Could it be a size thing? I know some coaches have made some really dumb moves on the offensive line in the past because they believe certain players have more of a center or guard or tackle size/body type. So they make adjustments based mostly on that instead of, you know, where they play best at.

Ragnow started at both LG and C in college and Glasgow filled in at C when Swanson was injured last year and the year before. Glasgow is a pretty good center and Ragnow is still adjusting to the NFL.

for sure, Sendejo is reckless with his tackles and I'm not one to give him a pass. it was a clear penalty cause he thought he could jar the ball loose and wound up knocking crowns instead.

When every other team in your division is cheering that you cut Gould you know it was probably a mistake.
