****2024-25 Chicago Bears Thread 📈****

[DeangeloVickers]

More likely, 5. I don't see 10 wins on their schedule. If I'm being 100% honest and not just dicking around I think they get 7 or 8 wins. Arizona and the Titans are games they could get.

So you're thinking 7 or 8, not really 5 then. That's reasonable. 5 would mean pretty major regression, on an easier schedule, which just doesn't seem likely at all.
If I had to bet I'd say 9 but to me 10 is very reasonable
Wins vs -
Titans (first yr head coach, shitty qb, wr1 injured, only won 6 games ly)
Colts or Jags (they should win 1 of these)
Panthers
Commanders
Cardinals
Patriots (arguably the 4 worst teams in NFL in 4 straight weeks)
Vikings x 2
Lions at home
Seahawks at home

And just like always in the NFL they'll likely win 1-2 they shouldn't and lose 1-2 they shouldn't.

I missed the Cardinals. Their schedule is not as easy as people are saying is really what I'm saying. Texans, Colts in back to back weeks on the road. Those are really tough games.

I don't think the Colts have a quarterback. Houston will be really tough though.

AR was dominate when he played as a rookie. Now if he can stay healthy, that's the story.

Richardson has not had very good reviews over training camp

This is a hell of a trade and more than depth IMO. I think he eventually starts opposite sweat, if not week 1. Pretty solid stats and on a rookie contract (copied below from a link)

New #Bears edge rusher Darrell Taylor:• 21.5 sacks in last 3 years• 90 pressures in time with Seattle• 34 total QB hits• 2 missed games in 3 years• Still just 27 years oldFor a sixth-round pick, that’s pretty damn good value.

Austin Booker looks like the real deal too. I think between Booker, Walker and now Taylor, they may be okay at edge opposite the Beast. Billings and Dexter are good in the middle... still probably could use another body in the middle but the defense is looking to be really really good

Agreed. This also allows them to move Walker inside more often. Hopefully Pickens holds his own as well.

 

[hawkjt]

Booker has looked great so far.
If they can pressure the QB they can win 10+ games. Eber has that defense cooking.
Caleb can match strouds rookie season.
Bears will make playoffs.

Niiiiiiiiice

Looking forward to Tory Taylor punting every 4th play...

Do you enjoy montez sweat safeties after taylor pins them at two? Cuz I guarantee it happens more than once

Meh. Depth. I’d rather have Poles add some o-line depth but he’s out there trying.

I think they have decent oline depth. Better than the last couple years. Dline needs more help. How bad is Pickens’ injury??

Brett Rypien gets cut. So, they are going with 2 QBs, and a practice squad guy.
Does Velus Jones survive the day?

Velus is one of the big questions. I think they cut him.

 

[Bro D]

Bagents dad.. god damn hilarious. Ian Wheeler segment was tough to watch

 

[Tom Paris]

Velus is one of the big questions. I think they cut him.

Welp, I was definitely wrong on this thought. When he was the 3rd back to get carries last game, when the top 3 weren't even playing, really made me think he was done.

Tory Taylor with a great first punt. Bears let it get into endzone

 

[torbee]

After yesterday’s Hawkeye bed-shitting, I need the bears to dominate today for my mental health. 🤞🏻

 

[QChawks]

Bears offense no good

 

[QChawks]

Prepared to be disappointed

Not like I’m not used to it.

It doesn’t matter who is in the uniforms- bears gonna play like monkeys on crack trying to hump the football. 🙄

 

[QChawks]

bring back Fields

 

[torbee]

Will Freaking Levis totally outplaying Caleb Williams is the most Bears thing ever 😂

 

[lucas80]

bring back Fields

I'm crossing my fingers he gets to that 51 percent threshold for the Steelers in order to get a 4th round pick out of him.

 

[Hawked]

Holy shit this is terrible

 

[torbee]

I'm crossing my fingers he gets to that 51 percent threshold for the Steelers in order to get a 4th round pick out of him.

He’ll probably win a Super Bowl. Getting off the losing Bears franchise will likely help his career.

 

[QChawks]

That first half was an absolute kick in the nuts

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Well, I guess the “Bears are going to be bad ass” talk will be put to rest early this year.

 

[HawkeyeHitman]

Caleb Williams isn’t a football player. He would rather be an activist for social causes.

 

[Tom Paris]

If Caleb ends up being a bust I think I will finally be done with Chicago. I can’t do 3 first round bust QBs in a row.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Armani Hooker from the edge knocks the ball out of 18 hands....keep it up Hooker!

 

[QChawks]

I don’t know how it’s possible with all the talent we signed, but we literally look worse than last year
