Must win game

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. 

We could have given MC a shot.   The trade is the trade at this point but there were other avenues to explore rather then do what we did.  We are still a long way out from knowing if it was worth it but I feel again Tepper just got antsy and pushed to move up.  I was always of the mindset let the draft unfold and see what is happening real time before you pulled the trigger.  IMO its just going to take a monumental career from Young to justify what we did.

 

Again I ranted on here in Rhules first year to either go with Greir or go with cam, take this down to the studs and build.  By not doing such has gotten us to where we are, some nice pieces but godawful depth and the path to become a top tier team seems so far down the road

What if he has a Jared Goff/Kirk Cousins/Stafford like career?

One of those won a SB.  So yeah if he has a career like MS then sure.  the others, not so sure, thats a lot of draft capital for a cousins type career. 

 

However, slightly off topic I will say the Bears also got panicky and traded too soon, they could have made probably 3 trades and still ended up at 9 if that was their objective.

If Dalton starts, it's a get-right game for Minnesota.

If Young starts, it's a get-right game for Minnesota.

Instead of putting all the eyes on QB performance, let's highlight Mr. 2 YPC himself, Miles Sanders, and his merry band of turnstiles.

Young's not gonna throw for 375 yards and 6 TD, sorry. Probably 1 TD, 1 INT. Probably another 12-carry, 30-yard performance from Sanders where one carry goes for 12 yards and the rest are -1 to 1.

CATCH THE FEELING

My buddy who is bears fan is very mad they didn’t stay put and take Bryce. Thinks that Bryce would have been perfect fit for their offense.  Everyone has an opinion

Not sure what repeating what the manning brothers said about “must win games” has to do with our franchise…..

Yeah

 

The whole "must win" from a fans perspective really comes off as someone who has way too much of their personality defined by a sports club (that they are not a part of).

It goes hand in hand with the phrase “control your own destiny” 

just hot phrasing for a metaphorical meaning… but people take it literally

Man I really missed your logic and rationale on here this past week or two.  It's been desperately needed!

If Panthers don’t win this weekend we risk going 0-6 to start the season because we’re not beating the Lions or the Dolphins in the two weeks after that. If we beat the Vikings we can still lose against the Lions and Dolphins but win vs Texans and Colts amd Bears to be a respectable 4-5 heading into the second half of the season. 

if you’re 0-6 it becomes almost impossible to build any type of confidence.  Vikings is a must win game and a must break through performance for Bryce

Wait you think we can save the season with a win, but you already admitted we will lose the next 2 games regardless.

 

So we can save the season with a 1-5 record?

 

LMAO!

This isn't a must win game.  We were always going to have a losing season this year.  Wins were never supposed to matter this year.   Developing Bryce forward by year end is all that has ever mattered. 

People didn't want to listen to this prior to the year kicking off.  It never mattered that Frank said he wanted to win.  That is just standard coach bologna you say to a losing fanbase.

    • Then Dan Morgan should be on the hot seat. Wasting a first and second rounder in a pivotal year is unforgivable.
    • They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, (except Derrick Brown) including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they take someone like the OT from Boston College or Memphis.  Work with the OL coach (OT specialist) for a season.  I dunno
