Absolutely horrendous call on the punt.
The Chiefs will just be playing for seeding
It depends. If NE beats Buffalo on Saturday, KC’s chance for a first round bye really takes a hit.There's no "just" playing for seeding - that's a huge deal
Khalil Mack, Eddie Jackson, and Cordarelle Patterson named to the Pro Bowl.
Mack is a "reputation" pick. Jackson has made 1 play all year, he shouldn't sniff the Pro Bowl. Patterson is a worthy selection.
Not sure what you are basing this on, but he ranks out pretty well among NFC dbs in most stats. He isn't leading a single stat, but it towards the top in all of them. He is solid all around and has turned himself into a pretty good tackler. And he is on one of the top defenses in the NFC and top 10 in the NFL.Mack is a "reputation" pick.

I totally spaced on this and was looking at Fuller stats and wasn't even thinking about Jackson. I will show myself out.Not sure what you are basing this on, but he ranks out pretty well among NFC dbs in most stats. He isn't leading a single stat, but it towards the top in all of them.

I see your point to a certain extent but I hold him to a higher standard to produce considering the cash he is being paid. 7.5 sacks through 14 games doesn't cut it, not to mention there are only a few plays a game in which he is making a noticeable impact. I find it a little interesting that many people who criticize Trubisky ignore the poor play of many of his offensive teammates but whenever Mack is criticized many point out that he has been hurt by the play of his d-line mates.I’d call Mack a respect pick instead of a reputation pick. A guy who sees regular double teams began to see regular triple teams because Hicks got hurt. That is an offense screaming we respect you and are terrified of you. He’s the guy OC’s told their team can’t beat them defensively. That is a worthy pick imo.
On the morning show today Mully and Haugh were wondering whether the Bears were going to bring in an experienced no. 2 qb in the offseason that might actually challenge Trubisky for the starting job and came to the conclusion that they probably won't and will approach next year in a similar fashion as they did this year. They also speculated that Trubisky will probably never develop into the type of qb that you can ride to the Super Bowl but might be one you can get to the Super Bowl with. As part of that they would need to restructure the offense by adding a fullback, more physical TE's, and replace some of the OL to have more of a physical rushing threat. That does not sound like Nagy at all to me. Sometimes I think he wishes he could pass every down. I think he would like to turn the game into a track meet like KC or the Ravens but the Bears don't have anything approaching their personnel.Heard Anthony Herron on the Score today say, “Nagy is calling plays as if Mitch were the qb he wanted him to be instead of the qb he actually is.”
That describes it perfectly. Mitch is far from a perfect (or even good) qb, but I lay a ton of his regression and the overall offensive regression at Nagy’s feet.
Another pathetic first half of Bears football. They have less than 100 yards of offense. The Chiefs are barely breaking a sweat running circles around them. The Bears are in so much trouble with their quarterback situation.
I would say they are both problems. The offense can't stay on the field either.The offense isn't the problem tonight. The defense not being able to stop the Chiefs is the bigger issue. Chiefs controlled the clock a large majority of the 1st half.
