Please Eddie Jackson - Redeem yourself with a TD here. Could really use a channeling of 2018 Ejax right about now.

He is. I don't know what Miller did that Gardner didn't get the exact same issue. He's known to be that way - but that is why you are coached to turn it into an advantage. I.e., let the Saints guy get the penalties. You know he's going to be loud and annoying, etc - but you have to know that and ignore it.

Bears only chance is 2 or 3 turnovers from Saints in 2nd half. If they get a pass rush and pressure Brees - it is possible. But I don't bet against Payton making major 2nd half adjustments.

yes please. In the athletic piece, there was a quote from a scout, which basically said he can't be trusted. Not in his route running, not in his ability to make decent decisions. He can get open - but it doesn't matter when no one trusts you. And just like that - no pass rush and Brees finds Michael Thomas.

I don't know that Mitch had anything to do with the offense. He isn't good - but with the play calling we saw in the 1st half, you could have asked a high school QB to make the same throws Mitch did (and same reads). In 2nd half - Mitch threw some nice balls to Robinson - about time. But penalties and negative plays. Anthony Miller is one of the worst Bears wideouts I can remember. He does so much bad and was such a horrific miss by the Bears. I think he has played his last game. I didn't even have to look to know who probably had the unsportsmanlike conduct. I already assumed it was going to be Miller. And with Mooney out that is a huge blow. Is Ridley active? This is where we will see Ridley have a good 2nd half and further indict Nagy's inability to identify and maximize his talent.

Very evident that with this regime in charge, Mitch will not be there first choice. I feel for Mitch - he hasn't even had a chance in this game. No one would with this game plan. I wanted him to go balls to the walls - 4 picks or 4 TDS today. The only blessing is the pass rush has been okay and defense has looked solid. They will need a few more turnovers in 2nd half to do this - but offense needs to come out and play a great half. Bill Cowher - yes please; Maybe this is Cowher interviewing for a gig with the Bears.

So you run straight into the middle of a very good defense with RYAN NALL? NO. Playing to win involves throwing a ball downfield and giving different looks. Right now the Saints haven't had to cover much anything. No intermediate throws, no outside zone runs mixed in, etc. Way too vanilla and way too easy to defend (with exception of the trick play).

YOU PLAY TO WIN. Do a bootleg, do something. They attempted 2 downfield throws and both were effective (one nice catch and one drop). Outside of that they have been all within like 5 yard distance. SO EASY FOR SAINTS TO DEFEND. SO EASY. You can not win doing that. One throw to Robinson (and that isn't on Mitch - the play calling is literally 2 second and a quick throw to a covered guy who is 3 yards down the field - they aren't even letting Mitch play). If that is the case, just go to Foles Nagy. But the way the Bears have called plays last week and this week should tell everyone what they think of Mitch. There will be a new QB in Chicago next year (assuming Nagy is the head coach). I don't get it - they finally did something decent when their backs were against the wall and they finally had to play; now they have just reverted back to the same offense I saw for weeks with Foles at the helm (predictable, vanilla, and putrid).

Nagy might be costing himself that job with this play calling. This is atrocious. This is the playoffs - you PLAY TO WIN. Take some shots. Mitch got you into this position - either let him try to win the game (or lose the game) but let them play. This is AWFUL, especially with the defense actually playing well. Pathetic.

It looks like every other game Nagy called before Lazor took over. Completely terrible.

Yes. Awful. Put bears in a real bad spot.

Those were two straight well thrown deep balls.

He is one of the biggest reasons the d is what it is. I think I saw a stat that said opposing qb have completed over 70 percent of their passes when he is on coverage. That is putrid.

This is going to be a blood bath based upon that injury report.

All I know is they are screwed - no Mooney and no roquan and likely no Skrine and who knows on Johnson....really don’t like those odds.

Say what you want - but I fully believe the Bears are better than the Seahawks and Rams at this point in the season. I recognize Bears lost to Rams earlier - but this team would beat the Rams (IMO) and Seattle is just meh. Pretty clear to me that the Packers, Saints, and Bucs are the 3 NFC teams with real super bowl aspirations.

And when Lebron hit his shots early (which the guy didn’t miss for 3 quarters) - it wasn’t bad d by Williams just Lebron being awesome. Only thing I didn’t like is offensively Williams was too tentative last night shooting the open 3. But so far - he looks like he has a very high ceiling. No clue whether he makes it but I’ve been very impressed so far. Dude is raw but if someone were to tell me he is one of the best players in the league 4 years from now I wouldn’t be shocked. I can’t say that about anyone else on the Bulls really at this point with Lavine being the other exception (although I don’t see him being an elite 1 more a good 2). More tape on Williams and maybe my mind will change but he looks like he has chance to be special - if (and big if he develops and maximizes his tool chest).

He was aggressive. Was nice to see. Would be nice if we see his defense pick up.

I hope he does. He gets better every year and seems it is happening again. His passing was quite good tonight too. Find a way to get Towns. Maybe mark, carter and a protected 1st? I can wish right.

Yeah - this was a super fun game. One shot short but still super entertaining and fun to watch.

At the time they were no facts to back it - just wild conjecture. Now I would say facts seem to back those claims.

Not banned. Presume taking his own personal break from the board.

This is so startling. How can anyone support this. Just goes to show you what these people believe - they must really believe all of this nonsense that the election was stolen.

Defense was rough tonight but still am entertaining game. Lavine and Coby both with nice games. Not enough stops in the end and way too many easy points for Kings.

No there is not evidence that a bunch of cops just colluded with Trump to let these madmen in. None, zilch, zero. Does that mean the officers behaved perfect, was there the right security in place etc? No that isn’t the case but I don’t think the cops said hey I like trump - let’s allow all these bastards in, nor do I think there was some collective decision made by leadership at top of the police department who said - hey let’s let all these people in and be terrorist. Now maybe that did happen Jack - but your statement right now is complete shit and unfounded and is a disgrace to plenty of good cops who risk their lives every day, including i am sure many who were there today in fear of their lives and whose families were watching what happened live on tv who were likely in fear of their loved one who was in uniform today.
