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).

    • Also, you don't really get good value by drafting a center in the first.
    • First off, we haven't been ignoring the defense. We have drafted several defensive players, but, perhaps more importantly, we have added good pieces in free agency. Secondly, the offense was still kinda bad (27th or so depending where you look at). You can't just say we can't pick an offensive guy while acknowledging that the offense wasn't good. Everything is on the table. Like I said above, it seems kind of counterproductive to say that we shouldn't draft an offensive player high unless they're at certain positions. The offense was mediocre at best. Sure, we had an uncanny knack to win some close games at opportune times, but the offense wasn't really good. To me, it makes little sense to put limitations on who/what we should draft when we need an upgrade at so many positions. What you look at is trying to get the best value--bang for your buck so to speak--and that's the way it should be. D-Mo has used FA to set up the draft in order not to be pigeonholed into anything, and that's the way that it should be.
    • Hubert has plenty of money. I don't hate the guy. I think he a legit good guy. This is Ron Rivera all over again for me. It's just very obvious a coaching change is needed and it audka we gottaboart ways with a good guy and I'd much rather it work out but the same issues appearing again and again year after year are clearly shouting what needs to happen. With that said, if we hire Todd Golden, that's it. I'm out. I'd greatly prefer to just keep getting disappointed by Hubert. I can at least stand to root for that.
