This can't be true. I was told there was no chance the Bears would ever have a top 5 pick for the rest of eternity. That's why it was necessary for Ryan Pace to "take a swing" and "man up" by "showing his balls" and reaching for Trubisky.

I don't think it will happen.

It took catastrophic injuries, garbage QB play, and no NFL talent in the secondary for them to pick 3.

These odds and predictions never really account for the fact that the Bears are going to go 2-4 in the division despite not being favoured.

I think the Bears will go better than that to be honest but perhaps not by much, five or six wins.

Although the secondary could do with some work, that defense is pretty good and will keep us in games.

Picking trubisky made it more likely we'd pick top 5 the following year as he'll sit or be be learning on the job.

Picking another player would have made a top five pick less likely.

At least we got rid of Lovie! AMIRITE? All those terrible 9-10 win seasons were such a drag on my football watching.

That statement is completely false.

4 out of his 9 seasons resulted in 10+ wins. Everything else was pretty average.

Well last year most had us picking first in the draft so we are getting better

Well that would give Pace 4 top ten picks and his second top 5. That's a resume no GM wants.

Next year is still about rebuilding this team anyway so having the highest pick possible will only help us. I'm sure the coaches and Pace will still be wanting to win every game they can next year though and i also think we're gonna be better team then most think but i'm all about building this team the right way and getting it ready for Trubisky so if next year ends up being another throw away year that's fine with me. It will be hard going through another losing season though.

Unless the team owner has accepted that the GM is on a 5-year team-rebuild plan. In that case it's exactly the resume you want as a GM.

The Bears are favored in 2 games this season.

I saw one article yesterday when the were not favored in any. A couple were toss-ups. I think the 9er game was one of them.

Do you think that Fox will coach any differently this coming year. It looked like to me that he coached very timidly his two years here in an attempt to keep the score close. Their play calling was about as closed to the vest as it gets, they didn't blitz much and played a loose zone most of the time. What do you think?

Well the play calling was D.Loggains not J.Fox and V.Fangio has never been big on blitzing. I think Fox has always been known to be conservative which can be quite boring and if his team is up by like 6 with lets say 4 minutes to go he'd rather run as much clock out rather than try to go down and get a field goal which is annoying to watch cause i'd rather have a coach that wants to go for getting down in field goal range but we'll see what next year brings and if he knows he's playing for his job then who knows what he'll do.

Im hoping (although not optimistic) that the timid offensive calls were more a factor of lack of trust in stopping the other team knowing his defense was in shambles.

And yes, the plays were Loggains, but the type of play (ie running the clock out vs passing) was all Fox.
