The Bears have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL

I'm actually starting Chicago D in fantasy. That's how little faith I have in this offensive line. 

I'm doing that in one of my leagues too.  I'm up big in one and taking the slight gamble for the potential big payoff.

Look at us, having no faith in our teams and putting money and pride on the line for it.

Doesn't matter. With this talent-poor roster created by Tepper's Data-centric analytics model, we are doomed until he sells or lets football people make football decisions.

Tepper's biggest fault is his entire career in finance is working against him as a football team owner. The smartest people with the best data aren't always the best football players. Sometimes you win football games just by being bigger and faster than the other team.

I really hope we win convincingly if a dub occurs. 

If we win by simply not being as terrible as Chicago in a 17-13ish affair, then we'll feel a bit stuck, no different than a loss.  

I mean, if we get cooked by an undrafted rookie QB we deserve everything bad they're going to say about us.  There is absolutely no way we SHOULD lose this game.  #1 overall pick rookie QB going against undrafted rookie QB.  That being said, I completely expect us to get packed up in convincing fashion.  Its the Panther way, after all.

I don’t think it matters. OL can’t block and receivers haven’t been able to separate against anybody.

There it is.  Strange to pin it all on Bryce.  Our O-line will get beat by every D-line in the league.  Our WRs can't beat any corners in the league.

Bears defense has allowed the most passing TDs, 2nd most passing yards, 2nd most passing 1st downs, the 3rd highest completion percentage, and the fewest sacks in the NFL. 

If Bryce stinks it up tonight....yikes. 

I hate this fuging narrative that the offense is all on Bryce. Should be if the offense stinks it up. If the line can’t protect and WRs can’t get open then no Bryce won’t have a good game statistically. What he can do is not compound the mistakes of those around him with poor decisions.

Speaking of I have to either play Chuba or D'onta...

Hmmm...

Bears have the #4 ranked rush D.  They are #1 in yards per rush attempt allowed. 

Panthers have the #28 ranked rush D.  They are #24 in yard per rush attempt allowed. 

Seems like a no brainer call BUT it's more complicated than it seems.  Herbert has had a full week of practice.   He is the #1 RB.   Seems projected to play. They have to activate him today off IR.    So that complicates it. 

I've been eyeing because in one league I'm weak at #2RB spot.  Toss up between Herbert off IR vs Gus Edwards (who has been surpassingly great fantasy play the last 3 weeks.  Which makes me want to Herbert as Gus as just been too good given his unique role).

    • Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits. 
    • Panthers win of course.  Like every Sunday I still have the hopelessly optimistic mindset  😎  
    • You do realize that first play was at 9:16 and they scored a TD before the 2 minute warning. 7 minutes is not a super long drive to come out with a TD. Longer developing plays is what helped get Carolina in the situation they were in. So you're suggesting they should have kept calling the same plays that weren't working? Are you suggesting Bryce keep throwing the same passes that weren't being completed? They were not in soft zone coverage. For comparison, this is Carolina's first defensive alignment in the 3rd quarter, and that's with only 1 WR on the field.  Cardinals were in a normal alignment/depth to stop run or pass. Not a soft zone to give underneath passes to TEs/RBs only. The LBs would likely be closer to 10 yards deep and the DBs more like 15-20 yards in that scenario.
