Very good chance Kamara is out this week. I think they can handle Murray.

Hicks is good but has always been overrated. He’s not close to as important as Mack.

Nobody is.

That’s not true. I’ve told you about this before and you’ve been proven wrong. Mack is great but he got erased in Week 1 and 6 this year. You act like he’s Reggie White. He’s not.

I was talking about the Bears defense. We all know that Mack has nothing on the Great Preston Smith.

I agree that he got erased in the bye week

Because Hicks and Goldman are the Bears only proven run-stoppers on the interior of the DL, future opponents will likely commit more thoroughly to running the ball against the Bears--and will also enjoy more success in doing so. This is where Mitch's ineffectiveness--if it continues--will really hurt the team. They haven't played with a lead much this season, and opposing offenses therefore can dictate game pace and play selection much more effectively. Hopefully this dynamic will start to change against NO.

Comparing anyone to Mack is ridiculous. But Hicks is an excellent football player both on the run and pass and when the two of them are on the field together, the offense is in trouble. They really do not have a guy to replace him, especially against the run. Why you think about it, injuries have taken a toll with the Bears thus far in the season. Not an excuse, just a fact of life.

Rubbish. BTW, they've only played five games this year. He hasn't been "erased" in any games. When they use 3-4 offensive players to try and block him, that isn't getting erased, Bubba.

The injuries were predictable. I said multiple times last year that they had unsustainable injury luck last year and guys like Nas didn't want to believe it.

Mack didn't do shit against Green Bay or Oakland. Erased.

He's OK Q1 -Q3. Then his lack of conditioning really hurts him in Q4.

They lost a game because Mitch didn't play and they haven't been able to run the ball the entire season. How in the hell is that (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky's fault? If (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky doesn't play, they do not have as good of a chance to win a game because Daniels is just a back-up quarterback and has limited mobility.

Beating the Saints is going to be a tough proposition whether Kamara plays or doesn't. At the beginning of the year I thought that the two elite teams in football were the Pats and the Saints. Then Brees got hurt but they still have Bridgewater who would start for at least half of the NFL teams and at 26 years old can still be a good starting NFL qb. ANd they still have a head coach who is one of the best head coaches in all of football, especially offensively.

Four players? Try?

Look, I know that you are a GB fan but try not to be such an asshole generally. Mack hasn't been "erased" by any team this or any year he has played. He causes entire offensive units to try and scheme at how to neutralize him sometimes dedicating 4 offensive players, OTs, OGs, RBs, and TEs to try and keep him away from their QBs and RBs. When you have this happen and some nitwit calls it being "ERASED" is ludicrous.

Mack is a top 3 Defensive player, Hicks is a top 20. The next closest to Hicks is is Jackson at 55 or so.

5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 forced fumble against Green Bay. Erased is a relative term so I will just lay out the info and leave interpretation to others

Much harder to do with Hicks out there. Good work by the Raiders tho.. always baffles me when I see Mack 1 vs 1 but Goldman and Hicks demand so much attention that it happens more than teams would like..

Wowie. Sure told me, dipshit. All you do is to insult Bear's players on a Bears fan board. I hate the fucking Packers but I do not look for Packer's fan boards to insult their players and fans. First of all I take pity on these poor folks because of their limited brain function and lack of hygiene ( these folks typically smell bad). I hate the Cubs but have never posted on the Cub's board.

But you and a couple of other dopes who support Vicqueens and other teams come to the Bears board and talk shit all of the time. Really weak assed shit on your part which is typical of you.

^Not a good look here



Mack is better/more important.. but saying they aren’t close in importance is a dumb football thought
