His cap hit this year was only 8.5 million or something. So it would be over $18 mil to franchise him next year then? Anyway, that's the downside of the tag if there is one, all the money is guaranteed so you can't play any games with moving stuff around, you need $18 million free.

ptatc Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The Bears being bad was finally an advantage. Reports are that the Rams offered a similar package for Mack. However, the Raiders thought that the Rams 1st rounds picks would be much lower than the Bears. Score 1 for the for Fox, Pace and the bad Bears recently.

A lot of the penalties are to blame on the players not the refs. Although their playoff game last January wasnt all that more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Is there really a more overrated QB than Matt Ryan in this league? Good lord... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really reminded me of Payton Manning in his last year with the broncos. His arm strength looked shot, very sloppy throws and and was floating a few up there. Philly's front put some nice pressure throughout the game but he had some wide open throws he just lobbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Falcons red zone offense is so bad. They looked like they had no clue what to do that last drive. I think Matt Ryan threw at least two passes just way out the back of the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The 2nd round pick the Bears got back can really be a wash if the Bears are good and Raiders stink. The later round picks are nothing if Mack plays the way he can. Talking about this while watching the game last night with some guys really makes this move even better for the Bears.

Kyyle23 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Sarkisian needs to be fired. Any OC that forgets about Julio Jones in the red zone doesnt deserve his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Early in the game when they went for it on fourth down from like the 3 yard line. They didn't even have Julio Jones on the field!! Just put him on the field and line him out wide, that alone will attract two defenders. What are you doing. I would assume that in the red zone this year, Jimmy Graham for the Packers will never not be on the field, not one single play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 For the bears, one thing that worried me was how the falcons were pretty effective at negating RPOs by forcing the run each time, which led to some long 3rd downs. That said, I feel really good about jordan howard running out of shotgun. The julio jones stuff was funny. Reminded me of how bears used tarik cohen last year, where they only put him on field if they were going to use him, making it easier to figure out (at goalline, julio jones is too good to stop anywhere else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'm no football genius, but I personally think you should have your hall of fame WR on the field for red zone situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot take!! but seriously Sarkisian is holding that Offense back so much, Freeman getting 6 touches all game when he's averaging 6 YPC is just asinine.

I think I heard a stat that over last season plus week 1, Ryan is 1-21 with 2 interceptions when throwing to Julio Jones in the red zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 For all the hype and excitement with the Mack trade, the Bears are still 7.5-8.5 point dogs Sunday night, that's like the 3rd biggest spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as great as Mack is, his Raiders defenses have largely been doodo as well. Hard to imagine with such an elite player on the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Rodgers last 7 games vs. Bears: 21 TD passes, 1 INT Not trying to rub it in, but that is probably why the Packers are still favored. Although week 1 in the NFL is usually weird. So who knows.
