I know that we are disgusted by the O line and coaching from last night but were there any updates on Whitehair injury? Our line sucks but we can't lose that guy.

Whitehair has been far from impressive this season. Each game has multiple plays where he is pushed into the backfield. Olin Kreutz has called him out for being a part of the Bears running game struggles. I'm not suggesting there is a replacement that will bring better play, but in some ways how much worse can someone be?

Coward should not be on an NFL roster. I do not get why he was starting in the first place. It makes absolutely no sense for Bars to come in for Daniels and then for Coward to start the next 2 games.

In this case a lot.
Think the OL is bad now...just wait until you are forced to hand line call duties to anyone else in the middle of the season.
(SPOILER ALERT: It will be ugly)

Let's plug in a former DL on the O-line instead of getting a legitimate Offensive Lineman yahhh! Pace should be fired take Nagy with him

Kreutz just called him out and said he is making horrible blocking adjustments at the line. It might be time for to inquire about Alex Mack and move Whitehair to OG.

Nagy said Whitehair will be fine. I don't know if that means no missed time or maybe a little time off. But doesn't sound super serious.

I'd be curious to hear what some of you were thinking last season when Coward had 10 or 12 games after Long was sent packing. IIRC there was a lot of maybe he'll be okay and not a lot of kick him to the curb.

Switching a DL to OL is not always a mistake. Mark Bortz and Big Cat Williams are examples. Ignoring the OT position in every draft is the bigger issue.

This team will only go as far as the OL.
There's no time to pass, run blocking is abysmal. The left side is really bad. I mean Houston Texan bad. Something's got to give.

We have got to make a trade to get an O lineman. Can't keep running this group out there.

Let pretend that they are not going to go get an Olineman in a trade or a Free Agent player.
Who can watch that tape for the last 4 weeks and not hold the players accountable. There is a backup for Coward and Leno at the very least that should be getting reps.

Problem with the OL is that you cant really fix it in the middle of the season. Even if you can swing a trade for a draft pick, you will likely be overpaying and only replacing a single piece, which may make minimal difference at best. It takes 2 to 3 years to revamp an OL, and that with heavily investing via draft and FA

I wish the Bears had the financial flexibility to sign someone like Ronnie Stanley. Then, draft Massie’s replacement and an iOL in the top three rounds.

This is actually not outside the realm of possibility, it just depends what happens with the cap in this most extraordinary of years. The Bears can tag Allen Robinson II then trade him for a second or third (Brandin Cooks went for a second round pick so dont say this is impossible!) without paying him, that on top of a few choice restructures and forgoing upgrades at other positions puts them in striking distance of signing a guy like Ronnie Stanley. That would give the Bears four top one-hundred picks which they could all use on the offensive line.
Of course this has zero chance of actually happening for a bunch of reasons.

You guys pining for a trade, it's like putting more oil in an engine that has leaky gasket that's warped the head. It's time to get a new engine and you can't do that mid season. Either the scheme changes or this is going to get really ugly in about 2 weeks.
