POLL Which QB do you want to see next Sunday?

[Jiddy]

Be interesting what the regs say now after we've seen a reasonable amount of Foles' work. Back to Mitch? Foles? Does it really matter?

 

[Jiddy]

I think I've come around to the "it doesn't really matter" line of thinking. I don't think it's really an indication some of us were wrong on Mitch, though...but that's in the realm of possibility. Guess we'll find out as time goes by. Funny how much can change over a few weeks.

A win, and everyone's perspective changes instantly.

 

[Carnzo]

Now I know how you guys feel.
I'll show myself out.

Beating the Packers would be a bigass win...but we'd still only be dancing if we beat them twice, and a lot of other stuff went our way. Beating the Packers twice has happened how many times in the Aaron Rodgers era? I wouldn't bet on it. So not necessarily agreeing the perspective would "change instantly"....A lot of other things have to go right for that to happen.

You had Tom Brady for two decades. You cannot possibly fill these shoes of "when is it going to be our time" sadness...Even when we win, we're "frauds." It's been that way since the early 90s.

I'm not sad at all.
I had to cheer for Tony Eason and I vividly remember the 85 Bears being on top of the world.
46 to 10 should put a little grin on your face.

I'm still impressed you guys beat Miami that year. Everyone was waiting for that rematch and then y'all was like...Nope.

I guess I'm not fully versed on the scenarios, but why would you say we have to beat GB twice to get into the playoffs? Particularly with an expanded bracket this year?

 

[beardown07]

Anything can happen. Mitch could come in and provide a spark.

The Bears have a championship caliber defense. If the offense can find ANY semblance of functionality, the Bears would be tough to beat.

Yup Miami owned the Pats before that.
I had a "Squish the fish" back then.

The division is out if we split or worse with the Packers....which obviously reduces our chances. Also that adds a loss that we would need to avoid to keep pace with Tampa Bay/Arizona...who are the two teams we need to jump to get back in. It's not impossible, but it's highly improbable and probably less than 20% statistically if we lose even once to the cheeseheads. We would need EVERYTHING to go right in a 1-1 situation...and it's pretty much over in a 0-2 situation.

Speaking of...You guys could do us a solid vs the Cardinals. Thanks in advance.

Dude. There are 6 games left. Ton of football left. Anything could happen. An injury or two here, bad bounce or two there...

It's too early still for me to be throwing in the towel. As stated, a win Sunday nite, and the picture changes quite a bit. A loss, and my optimism drops dramatically...but I'd prefer to wait it out.

 

[wood20ks]

It doesnt matter who starts this Sunday or any other Sunday this year.....

This oline is just absolutley horrid......Theres no getting this offense off the ground.....

 

[BeaReylo]

At this point, I would send my 14yr old niece out there if it would get the offense at least one good drive?!

Bring back Jim McMahon.

 

[PnkPanther]

Time to go back to Mitch

 

[NCChiFan]

Mahomes

Bah, too late.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Aren't they both hurt? Who is the 3rd string QB?
