Must win game

I think this game is like the difference between us winning 3 games or 4. Something like that. All this season really has to offer is a few wins against bad teams. We have no 1st round pick, so I can't go into draft mode. It's all in on win this game or 0-17 is still in play. One of our few little pitiful rewards is possibly beating the poop Vikings. We got here through mismanagement, and we're not getting out this season. Just enjoy whatever you can and hope for the best.

This is what I do every week 🙂

I just don't see us stopping their offense and the only other relief on the schedule is the Bears itself. Which is no consolation prize considering we are handing them our pick in the draft so they win that week either way.

Handing the Bears a top 5 pick would really sting.

Why? That’s such a silly mindset. The trade wasn’t about 2023-2024… it’s about 2024+ … a top 5 bears pick is a top 5 pick in the 2nd round for us.

if your argument is that “we could have had a top 5 pick next year without the trade” … sure but no franchise quarterback. 
 

that trade was about the future not a single season. Decisions made in short term bubbles was what doomed us under Rhule. 
 

if bears getting a top 5 pick stings… then you are looking at this all wrong. 
 

my personal take is that we won’t be in the top 5, but we will give up a top 10. However, I think we have a strong close out to the season and carry the momentum into next year. Barring injuries.

I was onboard with the trade because I mistakenly thought we weren't going to be in a position to get a top 5 pick (or higher). After seeing how we played under Wilks I honestly thought we wouldn't be picking top 10 so if there's an opportunity to shoot your shot then shoot. But if we them turn around and actually earn a pick from true sucking that could land us a franchise QB prospect without a huge trade up? Ouch.

We don’t know what the inverse of the situation would have been. We could have signed Derek Carr, Jimmy G, or minshew and never made the trade. Then ended up finishing around 7-10 - 11-6 …. Then picking in the middle of the first next year. 
 

then how are we feeling? Delaying the inevitable at that point.

we can create as many universes as we want … but stressing about what pick the bears get completely dismisses the purpose of the deal.

Definitely not stressing about it. Just saying that yeah, it would suck and it would demolish my logic for backing the move.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
