I've been thinking the same exact thing for much of the rest of the team. Fox must be coaching better this year.

Or doesn't have any more fucks left to give.

On a different note though, it would have been interesting to have heard Cutler broadcast this game

So at this point, what is the reason to keep Sanchez?

Cut Cruz

Sanchez was cut.

He wasn't cut.

I think he meant it will happen this week

Nice outside pass rush by Irving

Right. Mitch has earned the backup job. Hopefully Glennon doesn't suck enough that he has to play immediately.

They aren't going to cut Sanchez.

Because he "helped" Wentz?

No, because he's a fine 3rd QB and Glennon/(Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky don't have a consistent track record of durability that would allow the Bears to only go with 2.

Correct

so, i am buying that the bears defense as is stands will be above average this year... i also see no way this offense can produce points if forced in to passing only situations. 6 wins seems inevitable

They'll have a good to great running game. If they can get steady QB play they could be a legitimately good team. Huge if, obviously.

Shaw on the practice squad

Right, because he is an ideal practice squad QB. A guy like John Fox isn't gonna play him over Sanchez in a regular season game

Also, I would think that with Glennon and (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky's lack of experience, they'd want them to have a peer who has experienced success as a starting QB in the league to help mentor. (Success being a relative term)

After losing their 2nd best offensive player the slim hope of winning wwnt out the window. It's all about development.

I can guarantee you John Fox disagrees.

They looked pretty good.

They'll cut Sanchez and keep Shaw to run scout team on the practice squad.

Sucks about Meredith though.

Sanchez is going nowhere ... you people are nuts (yarrrr).

It was always about development ... we were able to pretend for a while that something neato might happen - and I suppose it still theoretically could ... but this is what we were basically looking at since they signed Glennon. Definitely a "wait'll next year" year.

If the defense plays up to its potential the coaching staff may as well try to win every game. They won't be getting a top 5 pick no matter how bad the offense is.

Perhaps ... let's get to the bye week before deciding where the Bears will pick.

Yeah the defense is more than good enough to win 5 or 6 games even if the offense sucks. I would prefer to get (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky a competent target before throwing him to the wolves.
