Here's to win #5!

Sucks that Shaheen isn't playing.

This should be a fun one. I really really want to beat the Lions today and stomp their playoff hopes.

Hoping for Mitchell to show continuous growth. Would be nice if he has his first 300+ yard game and 2+ passing TD game.

Mabe its just me, but I get the impression people don't see the value in getting a higher draft pick this off-season....

It's not that I don't see the value, I just can't do anything other than pull for the Bears to win...it's a DNA thing.

Actually drafting well (no matter what the round is) is more important than draft positioning.

If we're winning, it's because of Pace's draft picks and his FA signings (Danny T, Hicks and more). I'd much rather see progress than draft positioning. Turning the corner is way more important to me than tanking in the NFL.

NBA is a different story. Elite talent wins more in the NBA. Elite QBs win in the NFL, if Mitch can start to show out here, I'm beyond happy.

I'm the same way with tanking in basketball. That's not sports.

I get you. Thanks for the honest response

Not tanking for the sake of being bad like the sixers, but to turn things around more quickly. This season we are eliminated and we have alot of holes to fill to get better. We know what we need to at this point about the free agents. Plus Pace has shown between drafting and free agency he is better at the former. So it would make sense to have more picks not less. More picks you have better chance you got on hitting on someone. With the higher pick to start we could trade down to get those extra picks.

Damn Cohen is such a freak.

Let's get a nice long drive here.

If the Bears can't run the ball, they're screwed...so far, they're screwed.

1 step forward followed by 2 steps backwards.

Great job by Mitch to overcome that 1st & 19 from the 1.

Susan · Post #19 » by **Susan** » Sun Dec 17, 2017 12:39 am

Really disappointed in the offense in the 1st half.

If Mitch manages the ball better in the red zone who knows what happens today.

Still a small chance the bears could lose out.

Bears will be favored next week, but he bears have lost all their games under Fox when they have been favored you win.
