But what about that other play to White?

I think we're going to see a bad case of nerves and a 3 and out.

There's only one frozen tundra....

Don't take the bait.

Seems simple to me. Trade the QB you can get more assets for. Imo that's Wentz. Should add I'd only trade him if the Eagles win the SB with Foles.

I'm always a fan of getting DC's and OC's that have HC experience.

Hasn't he been injured 3 of the last 4 years?

Yes. There was serious concern about Brees' shoulder and if he'd still be able to play.

I think 10 wins is more realistic. I see them taking 4/6 in the division. Winning 3/5 at home (Giants, Cowboys, Chiefs, Chargers, Saints) and 3/4 away (Redskins, Eagles, Rams, Raiders). The thing is though is that what on paper looks like a brutal schedule right now can change drastically. Injuries, (Brees retiring?) etc can happen. Some of those games that look tough now may be easy wins by the time that game rolls around. Callahan, Amos, and Massie are all just going to depend on what kind of contracts they want. I'd hate to lose Callahan but if he wants 7m per I think they will let him walk. I think it's almost a foregone conclusion that we lose 2 out of those 3 guys. We do have depth at those positions so they don't necessarily need to draft a rookie and start him though. Bush, McManis, and Kush are all ok. Not great and certainly downgrades but they can hold their own. And there's always hope that Pace can find some more late round gems. He has done really really well with that the last couple of years.

Worth a watch. Seems like such a sweet old lady. https://www.chicagobears.com/video/itb-virginia-mccaskey-interview-11230054

Thanks. I get it. I think. I think the point I'm failing to get across was that the Bears could regress to the mean with their backups being injured and it wouldn't affect their overall record as much as losing a Hicks, Mack, or Trubisky. That it's not so much about predicting injuries but who gets injured. Does that make sense? And I appreciate you acknowledging that the Bears will still be good next year. I don't think they will get 12 wins again but I think 10 is pretty attainable and that they'll be fighting for the division again too. And there's no way GB will be as bad next year as they were this year. It was like the whole team imploded or something. And after all these years of hating GB I honestly just felt bad for your fans because I know how much it sucks to watch your team just fall apart. Besides, the rivalry is a lot more fun when both teams are good. It just doesn't happen that often lol

I never said we were keeping them both. I've actually stated a few times in this thread that we will lose one of them. Or are you just backtracking because you realize you are wrong and that we will be able to keep one?

We lost a DC on a very talented defense. I don't think any DC will have a whole lot of trouble getting production out of this group. And I'm not insecure. Just slightly annoyed. There's being a fan and then there's being a total homer (not directed at you btw).
