[Marley's Liberality]

Is there time to get that Spain guy in and just tell him to block whatever is in front of him?

if he's not a protected PS player. We can poach him. Not sure if he us. I would be for it.

You can plug and play just about anyone with this line and it wont be that large of a setback. Hard to get much worse when you're at rock bottom. This was witnessed against the Saints...

True to a degree, but with our playoff hopes on the line and a struggling offense, I don't want to hinge everything on some PS guys.

Were there seriously not anyone on the market worth giving a shot for a late round pick?

Spain already started for and played really well for Cincinnati

 

[vabearsfan15]

With all my complaining out the way, I do like both Arlingtom Hambright and Dieter Eiselen.

I was never really a fan of Simmons, but Bears liked him enough to give him a nod in both drafting him first and activating him over the others.

I stand corrected. Last I heard the Bengals were signing him to PS and didn't follow anymore

 

[Sicario]

Does anyone think the Mustipher was a bit of a surprise?

I didn't hear his name called once, and that is always a good thing. I said this in another thread but put Bars in. These two played together at ND, this can only help with communication. I mean the line sucks, and we can't get much worse so let the kids play. Never know what will happen.

Good grief. Maybe the rookies show something?

Foles gets murdered and Mitch has the comeback of all comebacks and leads the Bears to a first round playoff loss.

Nagy and Pace extended.

It’s ok guys. We have Juan Castillo.

COVID!
So lethal you have to be tested to know you have it
Good thing we have great offensive line help

Nick Foles spotted rubbing all the dirt clothes in Spriggs locker all over his face and licking his locker seat

What’s the likelihood this game gets pushed back?

Not enough lineman
Game canceled
No makeup
Playoffs determined by win %
8 team per conf

Per Ian Rapoport...


Worst case news...what does the offensive line look like now with everyone missing the game?

Bears put OT Jason Spriggs, RG Germain Ifedi on reserve/COVID-19 list; RT Bobby Massie to IR

Spriggs is almost certainly out Sunday, though Ifedi could be cleared if he progresses through the return-to-play protocol.

How much worse off could they be?

I'd be cool with the game being cancelled. No one wants to watch the Bears offense even if everyone is healthy.

 

[TheWinman]

Arlington Hambright SZN!

Probably going with: Leno, Whitehair, Mustipher, Ifedi (will play if not positive), Coward.

If Whitehair isn't healthy enough and Ifedi comes up positive....... Leno, Bars, Mustipher, Hambright, Coward with God knows who as backups

Mustipher is most likely out due to injury

So brave

 

[Hbkrusso]

What's Kyle Long up to these days?

Maybe kick the tires?

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

Only a matter of time, it’s gonna happen to every team eventually. Better have LDM ready to slay nuts.
