I was suggesting trade for Fields this offseason. His talent is not the question. It was always about them putting a roster around him. Even with a bad roster last year he showed flashes that he can be special.

 

Bears will win the NFC North imo.

Fields is terrible outside of running highlights. Bears will finish 3rd

I wanted him pretty bad over Horn. Taking Horn over Fields might be one we don't forget.

Consider the fact that this was preseason game #2 for the Jets--that is a big difference.  Consider that their backup QB has started NFL games for two seasons and our 2 QBs have played part of one preseason game--new coaches, new system, etc.  Probably was expected if you think about it.

I also thought donte looked pretty good honestly.

He is an absolute shutdown corner... on a team's #2 or #3 receiver. 

And that's not a knock! That's a great thing to have. But so much hinges on Horn staying healthy. If we have to reshuffle the secondary, our Defense is going to look very mediocre.

The defense impressed me despite the scoreboard and vanilla game plan. Uce, Shaq, DBrown, and Kamu are all ready to go. Barno + Williams popped up a couple of times last night while Rowe, Franklin Jr, and Henderson all flashed.

The offensive line was abysmal. I'm especially disappointed in Icky's play. I'm also worried/concerned over Michael Jordan still being on the roster. There is also ZERO depth behind Icky & Moton rn so it's going to be vital to the team's success that those two remain healthy and not have bad days like the recent one.

I totally forgot they had the hall of fame game.

I don't think Fields is terrible.  You need talent in the NFL.  Especially young guys.  Fields hasn't had that in the pass game.  I'd say it's safe money his pass #'s are drastically better this year.   And that's because DJ Moore can make plays. 

People were calling Trevor a bust his rookie year.  It wasn't just Urban.  He had no WRs.  They couldn't get open.  Steve Smith could get open with me calling the plays. 

NFL is a talent driven league.  Josh Allen was meh.  Then they added Diggs.  Then he put up MVP numbers.

We shall see. Just preseason.  But that Fields + Moore connection looking very nice right now.

It honestly reminded me of exactly what we saw here the past 3 years. Not good QB play and DJ bailing them out by taking a screen 60 yards to the house. I'm so glad we got Bryce (and would do it every time), but DJ did not get enough credit here, dude is an elite WR

It’s the part of the trade I hated. I loved DJ and felt he worked with some real trash QBs here and then got blamed for not scoring enough TDs.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
