2018-2019 NFL Season Thread Football • Page 647

If true, Gruden has ruined that team in four months and I’m beginning to wonder if his “love” of Oakland is still a very deep rooted anger at them trading him and he wanted back just to bury the franchise into oblivion and piss nightly on Al’s grave

 

You gotta think, with two first rounders THIS YEAR, no defense, and a closing window, how could they NOT outbid their biggest rival?

 

He’s flipping all the picks they get in the Mack trade for Vontaze Burfict

Welcome to Las Vegas

 

Because our GM is shit

 

Lol wtf

 

I'm sorry but I can't rationalize this in a positive way for the bears, unless you're Ryan pace who will now probably get an extra year even if they go 6-10

 

Dammit I didn’t want Mack in our division unless it was on the Lions

Chicago is going to be good very soon

 

This is fun though, for when they go 7-9 again and then in two years get the no.1 overall pick

 

Why is everyone acting like da bears are a darkhorse playoff contender now

 

Because when you look at teams on paper they're much less shitty than they were the last two years by far, at the same time are in one of the toughest divisions and hey I ain't buying the hype at all but I get why you might.

 

Certainly much better, but it's in the same tone of the Browns competing this year. Not there yet,

 

Bears are still a 5 win team this season

 

The worst thing that could possibly happen is trubisky is a bust, you play the qb duck duck goose and by the time you finally find one and remake the team mack is like 32 years old

 

After all of their offseason acquisitions the Bears are winning 5 games? Lol keep watching ESPN

 

No, they'll probably go 7-9 and 8-8 for two more seasons before hiring a new gm and possibly a new coach

 

I mean Pace just re-signed in the off-season so his job is safe as long as Nagy’s is as far as I’m concerned.

The last time the Bears gave up two firsts was the Cutler trade, so yeah I’m leary of the price but Mack is a game changer. Obviously they’re banking on not picking Top 10 again.

 

Sounds like a player is being sent to the Raiders as well. I imagine it’s an ILB, Danny Trevathan or Nick Kwiatkowski.

 

Wow. Go Bears. I am no longer a hater.

 

Keep up the good work Gruden pls plsss

 

I'm not sure I understand the Bears line of thinking.

 

Bears are up and coming (depending on Trubisky) but they play in a very tough division that is likely to be owned by the Packers / Vikings (barring injury) for the next 4-5 years most likely. Very tough uphill climb for them to make enough changes to overcome those teams.

 

Don’t care what anyone says. They weren’t gonna do anything better than Khalil Mack with those two first round picks. They already have the QB they want, just signed a leading receiver, and just resigned their lead CB.

The other premium position for a rebuilding team is pass rusher. Mack is probably better than anyone in the next two drafts, and even if it’s possible he’s not, we already know his elite talent translates to the NFL so there’s no bust risk.

 

Not gonna lie, I'm surprised

 

Also with Trubsky on a rookie deal for another 3-4 years they don’t have to worry about big contracts (aside from Mack) for awhile. They aren’t maxed out right now.
