Borum looks comfortable at LT. Albeit snow

Arm moved forward b4 contact imo

(Just as I praise Borum, the rookie gets bull rushed into Foles)

Ifedi just got dominated in that last drive. Nagy wants to get fired.

No idea why they're playing Artie Burns over Thomas Graham Jr.

This dude.

Robert Quinn is so freaking good. Huge sack there - 17 on the year.

Darn. Dax Shepherd trying to save Nagy.

Nagy is coaching for his next gig. He would love to win these next 3 with BDN and say “See, I just needed this guy. Again…” Trying the old switcheroo for the 10th time in his Bears tenure.

Nice win in a very tough stadium for visiting teams to win at. I didn't get to see the game, but it looks like Foles played well judging by the box score. He still has some decent football left in him.

Nagy's out because he's bungled the QB position so badly:

-Mitch was talented enough to win with if they just schemed to his strengths, he wanted somebody else and had Pace pay up for Foles
-Foles is good enough to win with again if they schemed to his strengths - the offensive line was destroyed when he was in there and they blamed Nick for the failures. Nagy once again needed somebody else and had Pace pay up for Dalton. If you have Nick Foles, you don't need Andy Dalton. Same ****.
-Dalton is actually probably the least talented of the 4 QBs Nagy has had. No reason to anoint him the starter. He sucks, I'm glad he's gone soon.
-Fields is just stupidly talented. Nagy almost got him killed in Cleveland and hasn't done him too many favors in his development.

Happy for Nick, he's an interesting dude.

-Thomas Graham Jr didn't start after last week, got burnt by the biggest freak in the NFL and then in the 4th made a huge tfl and a pass breakup in the last drive on back to back plays. Really don't understand why he didn't get the starting nod but he's got great instincts.
-Robert Quinn is a beast. If you get him and Mack healthy, that's the foundation of a very good defense. I know there's talk of trying to get picks for them, they're good dudes who are both capable of All Pro seasons. Keep them.
-Jenkins hurting his shoulder and Borom taking a step back playing LT is a little troubling but give Borom some time and I think he'll be fine
-Foles got scapegoated so bad here last year by Nagy. Glad he got this win for himself and hopefully there was enough on that tape to get us a trade partner so we can free up his salary. He's about as game as it gets relative to his talent level - I hope he gets a chance to start again.

no offense to quinn, but it won't seem right if he breaks dent's team sack record. particularly if he does it in game 17

it'll be interesting to see whether the injuries and fumbles are bugs in the NFL version of the program or permanent features

If he gets it next week - I'm cool with it but if it's week 17, I'm with ya.

But still, he's been a machine this year. He got 19 in 2013 and who knows where he'll end up this year. Pretty freaking crazy.

And holy crap, Reggie White had 21 in 12 games in 1987.

also, it should be noted that teams threw the ball significantly less back then

then again, QBs didn't generally get rid of the ball as quickly either

No turnovers today. Amazing how much easier to win games when you do that. And the QB is the biggest factor in that happening or not.

Dresden · Post #1897 » by **Dresden** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 2:27 am

7/14 on 3rd down today, and they dominated TOP, even with a sub par game from Montgomery.

Post #1898 » by **fleet** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 2:28 am

By the grace of pure luck, no turnovers today.

I wonder how long it's been since Bears have won in SEA?

Dresden · Post #1900 » by **Dresden** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 3:02 am

Dak Prescott has 321 yards and 4 TD's in the first half....
