Jose Abreu

I've never really believed that strength of schedule matters. The more talented team will win more often than not, and there are only a few games (Eagles, Chiefs, Saints, maybe Rams) where you could argue that the Bears aren't the more talented team. A healthy, 8-8 season would be a massive disappointment.

Why not just wait a year and sign Q as a FA?

A couple articles on this if anyone is interested: James Fox on the the potential fit Me on Martinez's potential market (it's small)

For sure, but they've had 1 week of bad QB play. It was the first time they've dealt with it over a full game since week 3 of last season. The overreactions are just getting to be a bit much. If the Bears stay healthy and finish 8-8, then the entire coaching staff deserves to be fired

I've never seen such weird reactions to people saying that a 12-4 team might make the playoffs again. They're consistent across the media too

Ken Rosenthal, too. He was the first one

One thread for every RBI this season!

In other words, he started slowly in the 2nd half but then picked it up so that the production is consistent with his first half. Seems like normal fluctuations to me. Not a good or bad thing really

First half OPS: .838 Second half OPS: .842 He has had a hot couple weeks but I don't think he has been that different overall

I don't see how any of that is true- didn't the Sox take the season series against the Astros, Yankees, and other playoff teams? And didn't those Bears beat the Rams, Seahawks, and Vikings (twice)?

So you're inadvertently arguing that he's right? The team he's talking about went 12-4 despite being projected to finish in last place.

As the above post said, a LOT of QBs were terrible Week 1. Makes the Trubisky hot takes more amusing

Needless to say, I lost lol

Collins

This was posted last week because it's the article where he mentioned us being motivated for Cole and that Moncada and Giolito are extension candidates

Eh he'll be fine. Once he gets touches he'll be a solid fantasy option. Starting him week 1 was a mistake though. Luckily I started Robinson and the CHI D/ST too.

Anderson

Bears 52, Packers 0

2.5 fWAR for Lopez. Right ahead of Jon Lester

AMAZING series from a rebuild perspective. All the core players played well.

I haven't been able to watch, but has Collins been fine defensively at 1B?
