Eagles @ Bears

I think they should but I would be totally shocked if they did. If so, they would be admitting to making a mistake in letting him go in the first place. I doubt their egos would allow that.
BINGO! This guy is always the first one to come here and start his political garbage. He did it again here when we had a perfectly good thread going.
Then he says to Markmac, "we're veering off into the political sector." No you veered off...again. No one was talking politics until he did, as usual. The guy is an incredible snob and a bore.
But, Edgy could put an end to this crap. I have seen him write more than once, "no politics" as a rule. But MC63 does it all the time. He thinks he doesn't have to follow the rules and he is above everyone else here.
All Edgy has to do is say. "no politics of any kind, unless it relates to high school football. First offense, a week off the board. Second offense and you're gone for good, paying member or free member." Then enforce it where necessary. If he did that, you'd see this guy's attitude change in a hurry. Simple fix in my opinion.
I didn't want to come here yesterday and give my opinion on the game Sunday. I heard and saw enough Monday morning quarterbacks to wait till today. Too much emotion going on. Whenever you have to make a decision or statement that requires thought, you generally don't make the right decision or statement when your emotions are way up or out of control. It doesn't work in sports, business, marriages and most other aspects. The knee-jerk reaction pretty much never works.
I watched the game with my son, daughter and spouse. I don't get to watch too many games with my son, but I really like to. He played in HS and college and has a lot of good insight and sees things in real time that I miss sometimes. The following is my opinion, however.
I don't understand why Cohen only gets four touches when the guy has been a play maker all season. The Bears need to either sh*t or get off the pot with Howard. Either he is your RB and you give him the ball more or you get rid of him and bring in a RB who you think is better suited to this offense.
The Bears definitely need a couple more play makers on offense. The Burton loss was crucial. He caught 54 balls this year which isn't all pro but was solid.
Interesting that all four young, playmaker type QBs lost this weekend to "pocket passers." And they all lost at home. But, Trubisky gave the best performance of the three. Yes, he is progressing.
I am not going to hang this loss on Parkey alone and certainly not on the defense. But, I think we all knew this team would go as far as the defense was going to take it. Parkey scored more points than the offense. Three of his kicks came when the ball was resting inside the Red Zone. You can't have 3 trips in the Red Zone and 9 points. If you have a defense that holds a playoff team to 16 points you have to win that game every time. The 16 points the Bears gave up would have held up in every other game winning point total.
During the season and post season the Bears played four playoff teams. They went 2-2 in those games, all at home. That is a bit of a concern for me because their 2019 schedule is going to be much tougher.
Going forward, there is absolutely no guarantee this team does better or the same next year. I learned that after 1985. The 2018 Bears, for the most part, escaped any serious season ending injuries. It was a very good year and they were very lucky with health. Will these guys be focused like the 1985 team was after 1984? Time will tell.

Late to the discussion but... IMO … can't blame Parkey for THIS loss. It's on the offense. They scored a whopping ONE touchdown the entire game. Three times they had to settle for field goals (and Parkey made them). Must have more out of Trubisky and better play selection from the OC for the Bears to take the next step. I think the Bears set a record for pass attempts under five yards. Monday it was revealed that the kick was partially blocked. A clean kick probably sneaks inside the left upright. And as great as their defense was... they allowed Philly to march down the field for the winning TD on that final drive.

The bears are not yet who they will be. There will be changes and more time under a new system. There will be a change at kicker and at right tackle and perhaps another position or two.
Give them time

Who is bringing cheap shots? You started the whole political thing in this thread, like you always do. People here are sick and tired of you constantly being a bully and forcing your political or religious opinions and beliefs on the rest of us. We are sick of your lectures. If you want to talk politics, why don't you go to twitter or some other sewer more suited to you? We are talking about the Bears game from Sunday night.
Then you come in here and wonder why players are praying, because they are phony, in your opinion, why NBC is showing it and then tie it to some meeting in Mundelein and guns and congressmen who don't care or some such sh*t. What the hell does any of that have to do with the game? Then you get some push back and start crying victim and saying people are taking cheap shots at you. You are the king of cheap shots here.
I still appeal to Edgy to put a stop to this nonsense. One week off for talking politics, permanent ban for the second offense, paying customer or not. That will put a stop to your crap or you. And don't say it's OK with you. That is the last thing you want, because you'd be gone in less than 2 weeks.

Indeed I can, as can everyone else here who is tired and bored of your antics. Just go away.
My thoughts exactly on waiting a day to let the emotions dies away. Agree that Cohen should have gotten a lot more touches than 4 and Nagy in his post game interview so much as admitted it himself. Trubisky was excellent in running the game the way Nagy wanted it to run. Trubisky looks like a QB on the upside all season and that in and of itself bodes well for the Bears offense moving forward. If anything I would definitely say that Nagy was too conservative in this game passing for longer gains than the short ones. Robinson was eating those eagle defenders alive all day long and had a bears play off record day receiving. All in all though a great season for the Bears but next year they will have a much harder game schedule to face. Best year watching them since the 2006 season but such a big let down to lose a game on a field goal try from a kicker who converted 70% of his kicks this year, missing twelve and hitting the goal posts six times.
