It is even possible to get that Foles? I'd love it but that was a fluke he will never replicate. 9 games straight without an INT for a 19/0 TD to INT ratio, over 9 games. McCoy was killing it with over 2,000 total yards, DJax being the best deep threat in the league, Ertz came in well, Cooper was a solid playmaker, etc. Reid was calling great games, and Foles just hit a lucky streak on top of everything. Just was a hellish combo. Edited September 30, 2020 by Sugashane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are both of the opinion that the Bears are Superbowl contenders? Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am. I don't think you can really put @soulman in the same boat, though. I'm pretty sure he does think they can make the playoffs, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if you've actually read any of my posts (especially those responding to Windy) you'd already know that I don't believe the Bears are a SB contender. It's Windy who believes we should always be or aspire to be a SB contender. Me? I live in the real world not an imaginary or theoretical one. IMHO to become or at least be seen as a "true" SB contender we lack some of the elements necessary for that. To begin with our defense while very good has not so far in 2020 proven itself to be nearly as dominant as those of our two previous SB teams in 1985 and 2006. Could this change? Maybe, but we haven't shown it yet. Lacking that we would need a certifiable top five offense with a top five QB. Despite having won a SB and having been named it's MVP Nick Foles throughout his career has not consistently demonstrated that same level of play. He's good mind you but not that good. Could this change? Maybe, but we don't know this yet and won't for a while. The statement Heinz and I responded to was one claiming "Foles could never make it to a SB". He has. So it was like saying Donald Trump could never be President of the United States. He is. The initial claim wasn't based on reality and that's what we responded to. Could it happen again? Of course it could. Will it? I dunno. So.....please don't try to extrapolate more than what was said which is what your question is doing.

I'm pretty sure he does think they can make the playoffs, though. I thought we could at least make the playoffs with Mitch. With Foles I believe we might actually win a playoff game or two. 3-0 is a good start and if we can beat Indy at home on Sunday 4-0 is even better since few team who have started out 4-0 have ever missed the playoffs and this year they've even been expanded. So let's just say my confidence at this moment that we can go 10-6 is higher than it was before Foles was named as starter. But there's still so many games left to play and so much more to learn about this team I have no idea exactly where we'll stand come December.

I think it's clear that @Pool didn't phrase it quite the way he wanted to in that initial post. He clearly meant to say that Foles isn't good enough to reach the Super Bowl with this Bears team as currently comprised. We all just misunderstood, took him literally. No biggie. Everyone should be arguing with ME, anyway. 😀 19 hours ago, soulman said: I thought we could at least make the playoffs with Mitch. With Foles I believe we might actually win a playoff game or two.

I responded correctly to what was said. But it was you I quoted not him. It's also ancient history for me now. I've resolved it for myself.

G08 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Do we have to come to grips with the potential reality that Foles will be our unquestioned starter through 2022? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Trubisky coming back here next season and Tyler Bray is just a dude. We literally have nobody in the pipeline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
