If Trubisky is anything resembling competent, CHI is a very legit team. I tend to agree. Cant say I'm up to speed on all their offensive additions - Miller and whoever that other FA WR they signed is - but they'll have speed across the defensive front. I think that much is certain.

MacReady Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 That's better than I thought it would be for the Beare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 It does sound like the Mack thing became a bidding war. I'm not going to get overly worked up about Gute deciding it was time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure the theory is that there's a track record of teams being legitimate contenders with if you pair adequate offense with unreal defense, so if you can accomplish the latter, then you don't really need more at QB than a game manager who doesn't turn the ball over.

I'd have pulled the trigger on trading both 1sts tbh Basically when you do the math on the trade, Packers offering just the 2 1st rounders gets us Mack. Those picks next year just became the most scrutinized draft picks probably in Gute's entire career as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Mack does not suddenly make the Bears a team that's getting to 9 wins. Lots of you are going to look really really silly in five short months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaitWhat Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 28 minutes ago, PossibleCabbage said: So the question I have is- "How close do the Bears think they are to a superbowl?" Since in the next two years the Bears have 3 picks in the days of the draft that provide meaningful difference makers, and assuredly paying Mack is going to make it harder to pay high end FAs. I know that the best way in the NFL to secure a championship is "hit on a QB while he's young and cheap and use the money you save on other guys" but even after Mack it's not unlikely they are still a few pieces away, and it's now going to be very hard to get those pieces. In a stacked NFC, they aren’t even a playoff team. Pack, Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Falcons, Cowboys (possibly)...at best, I’d POSSIBLY put the Bears right there with Dallas but that’s it. Then you also have Carolina, Niners (possibly, if things go well and potential drop off from one of the certain teams), Seahawks all vying for that fifth or sixth seed.

packfanfb Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Do we have to start asking whether Gute is a secret agent for the Bears? First the Fuller debacle, now this. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
