To his luck he had probowl playmakers during his 49ers tenure and to his luck he has now. Give this defense to Mike Pettine he will do much more... What great defense doesn't have pro bowl caliber playmakers on it? The Bears were literally first in almost every category on defense, you can't get much better than that.

Is there a more dynamic duo than the Vikings history and Kirk Cousins in big games? Bears had a layup there BDN was full chub tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What coach wins on a constant basis with scrubs? None. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to do "more" as the Bears D was pretty damn good this year, but I too think Fangio is a little over-rated. Once he got Mack, his job became a lot easier. He's a solid DC but the talent is everywhere on that D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears were literally first in almost every category on defense, you can't get much better than that. Had he been a little creative with his playcalling they would have won the game. Rushing 2 and 3 on 2&10 and 3&10 are receipe to disaster.. Qb’s are going to make plays most of the time in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though, I would like him to take a HUGE step next year. I don't think he needs to be. Say he makes a normal 3rd year jump, usually that is pretty good. Then the defense is not quite as good but still effective. That is the same Bears team. I really think this division is going to be tough for the next few years. The Vikings are going to have to move some salary to keep Barr and Easton, but that window is still there. The Bears won't be in cap trouble in the foreseeable future, until they have to pay Trubisky, but if they have to pay him, he is probably playing well. The Packers are going through a youth movement, and still have a top tier QB and lots of money to spend. I don't know what the Lions are doing, but I think they have a ton of cap space.

JQ1 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Chicago paid a premium to move up one spot and draft Trubisky, so they’re committed. I doubt he’d have been Nagy’s guy, but he was hired to coach up the young QB. It’s my unqualified opinion that Trubisky won't take them to a championship. I’m REALLY glad chicago didn’t draft Patrick Mahomes. That written, I respect what Matt Nagy has done coaching his squad this year. The Bears commitment to dipping into free agency, trading for Mack, and seeming to have found a coach that has brought some swagger back to chicago, have likely raised the bar in the NFC North. Who knows? Maybe Trubisky will amount to something more than an average NFL QB. Or maybe...Remember Mike Glennon??? ( ) - : # In any case, the Packers High Command is charged with regaining some footing and strengthening those positions of need, which as we know, are many. It should be fun this off-season!

Crosby kicks the winning field against Dallas - doesnt count - DAL had called time out. He comes back to put the actual winner through. Crosby kicks the winning field goal against Minnesota - doesnt count - MN had called time out. He misses the follow up. Parkey kicks the winning field goal against Philly - doesnt count - PHIL had called time out. He misses the follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
