Really nice and complete game. Keep it up Mitch. Who knows what can happen. It at least says something that they didn’t shut down after last week. 

No team in history more dominant than the Chicago bears with nothing to play for except making their future harder

Yeah, this was definitely a tank loss.

The 2021 and 2022 BEARS will be worse because of this tank loss.

Truer words have never been spoken.  I don’t even watch the games anymore because no good can come from winning at this point.  We need to clear house and tank for draft position, but a few meaningless wins are all but a certainty with this fucking franchise.

One difference between the Bears and Packers: When the Packers lead the Lions by 10 in the final minutes, the Packers win. When the Bears lead the Lions by 10 in the final minutes, the Bears lose.

Yeah.. that's a difference alright. It probably ranks as like 457 on the list of important differences, but a difference nonetheless

Aaaand if the Bears win next week Nagy and Pace have saved their jobs, which would be a fucking disaster.

Soooo. Bill Lazor for HC????

I'm being slightly sarcastic here but man, since he's taken over the play calling the offense has really started to roll. I feel like they're finally using Mitch the way he should be used.

Which is to say don't let him throw downfield because he's bad at it.  He did have one nice medium length completion. But it all seems different if the O line holds of the rush and somehow it's managing to do it.  They wouldn't try to hold on to him, would they?  I wouldn't.

Funny what a competent OL and better play calling can do, right?

 

I look at Mitch in the same vein as Darnold. I could see them going to another team and having success with better coaching. If they keep playing like this, I think you have to consider bringing him back if the price is right. I know I won't be in the majority on that. 

I think Mitch has been great.  About time they gave him a long term deal.  Get it done, Pace!

I guess one big difference is at quarterback.

Cool.

accurate

I mean damn. Credit where it’s due- the offense is finally making sense

Is it crazy I want to see more from Mitch? 

If they can bring him back relatively inexpensively that would be a good call. 

Too bad Cairo Santos wasn't on this team last season or the year before....

Weird what happens when your offensive line does what it is supposed to, and you establish the run!

Ah, there's Mitch.

Play design was awful on that INT

I can not believe they didn't give Cook the ball there.

Definitely a better oline, but also just the roll outs, use of Mitches mobility, and motion makes offense less predictable re:run v pass and plays to trubs strengths.

 

They're basically guaranteed to win 8 games and maintain the status quo now. Le sigh.
