There is only one major pre-game point in my mind.  Stop Mike Evans and Bears win.  Let him get off for 2 or more long TDs and Bears have good chance of losing.  

Figure it out Belichick style.  Eliminate that player from their game plan and make rest of team beat you.  He is only true mismatch.  

Common Fangio get it done.  

Prince being out really hurts.  Tolliver has talent though probably more than Prince, but he is young and dumb right now and there was a reason he was undrafted.   

Am I the only who hated it every time they sent Bellamy in game for Miller last week?  Send anyone else.  And Kush had a bad game too.  We have to be inching closer to a Daniels sighting.

I don't think they hold TB under 24 the way Bucs are playing and with Prince out.   Bears are going to have score some points to win this game and wishing for defensive points is not a good strategy.  That being said TB may be willing to give you some as Fitz is taking wild chances with ball.   

Here is silver lining, everybody has been scoring big on NO and Pit defense to date so that is less impressive.  Eagles have a stud D, but were playing crappy still with Foles.  If they played Eagles in a couple weeks at home they probably get slaughtered.  Evans is a legit stud, but it's possible TB may be a bit of mirage as an offensive juggernaut.

I was hoping there would be some QB controversy to distract them, but I guess there isn't.  Only ones distracted are us discussing if our QB is a bust 3 games in during an unexpected 2-1 start.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't see anything that said Prince was out for this game.  I heard he's day to day.  Where are you getting this info from?

Per Rapoport, Miller will not need surgery, won't play vs TB, and is considered week to week.

This is good news.  Let him heal up for a few weeks and see how the shoulder responds.  Now let's get KW some playing time ffs.  It's now or never.

Why'd Bears get rid of Deiondre Hall again?

Circumstances, I guess. Fangio had two starting caliber outside CB's in Fuller/prince. A good NB in Callahan(very underrated thus far). Had a draftee (Tolliver) to use as a project. Cooper who can be a solid backup. Shannis who is a ST specialist. 

Nagy wasn't keep more than 6. Especially since the front-7 has a history of injuries.

He did carry the versatility of being a safety still too, but if he couldn't beat out back up safeties then he shouldn't be lining up at CB IMO.

Good point and another one I forgot to mention that I meant too. Hall is not built to play either safety position and one thing that people may not realize is that this year we don't have a designed FS or SS......Fangio is using both Jackson and Amos in both positions based on offensive alignment's and motions. He's not swinging them (as most traditional safeties positions do). He is keeping them in the same spots (Jackson on boundary and Amos on Field) whenever the offense switches strong side or weak side....both of them change assignments. One may move up and other move in, etc. He is using their versatility within the defense to help with secodnary confusion that we saw last year.

Hall is not built for this. He don't have that versatility. At safety, he is strictly a cover FS who can't play the run.

Tolliver getting playing time may hurt on Sun. and may lose the game against hottest receiving core in NFL, but could be long term plus.  

If he can turn into a player over time with coaching and game experience, and he has the talent, then Bears snagged one of hardest positions to find in NFL for virtually nothing.

I think there is way too much negativity in bears fandom right now. 

Much to be positive about.

Much of team is U26.

They just acquired current best defensive player in league.

Roquan isnt Roquan yet because of hold out, but he will be.

They can use Floyd in hybrid role he was designed for instead of just being a mediocre edge rusher.  His hand will be better in 2nd half of season.

Shaheen will be back in 2nd half of season and can be developed. I predict Burton will be much more effective when Shaheen returns. 

Allen Robinson is good now and will be much better next year like most coming off that injury.

Miller will continue to get better. 

Daniels is 20 and will be a future stud linemen at some point.

They have one of best safeties in league in Jackson.

Long isnt looking broken like I thought he might.

Hicks is a beast.

Team is looking on track to be a real contender in 2019 and beyond which was always the more realistic goal.  

Offense will improve with time, let them get a season and another off season in it and I think that will work wonders. 

Remember MT didnt get to work with coaches until this Spring.  MT and Miller and Robinson and Burton and Shaheen can get together in off season in 2019 and just have private mini camps  like so many do.
