Bears just remembered Herbert is NOT on IR 

 

MY poor fantasy was in shambles

Here you go, Dobby in Harry Potter:

OMG, Dobby thinks Justin Fields is Harry Potter and that he must save him!!! 😄

If that was the case he’d be trying to kill Fields lol

He does first but then he dies saving him. Right now it’s all about the killing fields, man a lot of movie references

I was one of those kids who grew up disliking Dobby. I’m a cruel, cruel s.o.b. Not even a single tear was shed while reading The Deathly Hallows during Bills seaside cottage.

Now I understand why there were Circles in American Fields.

 

It was not Alien.

 

Just Dobbs being Dobbs. 

[NFLfan]

I switched out of the game and was watching a documentary about the Pike County murders. Crazy stuff. Anyone heard of them?

[NFLfan]

The game is still on. This was boring. Did the Bears win yet?

[RollerColt]

Looks like Bears will barely win this one. 

[chad72]

Flores should have blitzed on 3rd down 

[RollerColt]

It would’ve been pretty pathetic for Eberflus to lose to a guy who threw 4 interceptions. 

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Ha ha, Vikings should lose this one.

 

It was just that bad a performance

SMH. Glad I switched it.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

No one knows Vikings are trying to tank or fight for playoffs 

[NFLfan]

Lol. What a comedy.

With Dobbs nearly throwing 6 INTs, should we start the rookie?

 

We need to draft a QB.

Final Play 

 

J.Dobbs pass short middle to K.Osborn to CHI 43 for 23 yards (T.Edmunds; J.Sanborn). FUMBLES (T.Edmunds), recovered by MIN-A.Mattison at CHI 44. A.Mattison to CHI 45 for -1 yards (J.Johnson).

Cousins has had worse days than this, while earning 35+ million.

 

I'd run with Dobbs, he'd have some rough days for sure. He never had off-season program with this offense, some matchup would not go well. It's tough to expect high level of play every game in this circumstance. Whatever he's done so far is too good to have happened, so they should just run with him all season and see where it takes.

He also does not have Justin Jefferson. We need him back.

 

I am not sure why we traded Ezra Cleveland. He has played very well for the Jags. How do you give up good OL for a 6th round pick? KAM just gave him away.

Yeah if that had to happen at all, he should've got a round 3 pick at least in return.

 

That trade alone really makes you question if he is qualified to be GM, not even talking about past two drafts that have not been noteworthy

Did you know that we have scored about the same amount of points per game without Cousins as we did with Cousins. In fact, we have scored slightly more without Cousins.

 

175 points ÷ 8 games= 21.85 ppg

 

Last four games without Cousins:

88 points ÷ 4 = 22 ppg

 

Not a big difference. Paying Cousins a lot more though.

I have to go to my office to work tomorrow. I have to wake up earlier than when I work from home.

 

So, good night, everyone. Lights out.

Man it must be frustrating to be a Bears fan

Homer is smart, he doesn't even have to leave the bed  . Sorry for the loss, that was a strange low scoring game.

It was a "chicken with its head cut off running in circles" play.  

[teganslaw]

MNF was strangely entertaining. The Bears couldn't' score in the red zone despite all those chances and Dobbs was constantly under pressure. It was anyone's game until the final minutes. 

 

O'Connell isn't committing to Dobbs as starter after last night. It seems the "honeymoon" period with Dobbs is ending. That didn't take long.

One bad game shouldn't change the starter...

 

With the rookie, it might not be this bad in any game. But, going with rookie probably wouldn't win a game. At least with Dobbs, he could win when he's not turning over the ball.
