honestly as good as last off-season was this a has been a massive FLOP for Pace..overpaid for 3rd string RB and 5th string WR...Only move that was ok was HaHa Clinton-Dix..Buster Skrine is an absolute dogshit move and massive downgrade from Callahan

I saw only one site that graded the offseason moves so far. Bears were 7th of 32 teams.

Added a versatile backup RB for little money. Added a top kick returner after being worst in NFL at that last year, and he has value in the offense as well. Backfilled the two positions they knew they were losing players - with 2018 starters, cheaply.

Added a speedy WR and backup G for nothing.

It was never going to be a star studded off season, so unless you were among those who thought Leveon Bell was coming, you're not disappointed.

J.Houston did very well.

He got good money
Gets a starting job
Going to a super bowl contender

Houston is too pricey. Good job, Pace.

You're right. All good teams go after the big players in FA! There hasn't been a superbowl team in the last 30 years that hasn't #pwned it in FA.

Gosh you are such a fucking troll

 

[TL1961]

I wonder if the Bears still have a relatively minor move left in free agency.

There likely goes another pipe dream:

Cool, now let's get some extensions worked out, get a kicker, find a good backup OLB. Houston would have been great, but he would have been a luxury. The core of this team can stay together for 5-8 years as long as Pace doesn't do anything stupid.

Well we just need Mitch to make significant progress to become a perennial contender. If he plays like he did last year, we will take a big step back standings wise. Go Mitch, Go Bears.

Meh, if Mitch has another season like he did last year, this D will still be good enough to get the Bears 9-10 wins.

I think 9 wins is a big step back standings wise. We may not make the playoffs with that total.

Nothing wrong with the way Mitch played last year in a first year offense (not to mention his play in the 4th quarter of the Eagles game). The Bears have added some more weapons for him on offense (Davis, Patterson, Hall) + Wims who should be better in his 2nd year + Robinson who will be 2 years removed from ACL injury. There is still the draft where Pace has found impact players in the middle rounds.

Have you seen the teams our division plays ??

It is all going to come down to injuries for the Bears, can they manage to be relatively injury free next year like last year?
What are the three key players for the Bears?
For me I would say Mack, Robinson, and Smith.
Mitch has to take a step forward and the rest of the conference will now have plenty of tape to watch on Nagy's offense.

Meh. I expect inprovement from the Packers. The vikings still have Cousins and the Lions still have Stafford. They are some of the best anchors of all time

All true...Bears will need to show wrinkles in their offense that resemble last year's looks...this will be the test of the Bears new path with Nagy.

A year ago, we were considered one of the strongest divisions. I don't expect much from the lions but the Packers and Vikes could easily come back to form.

 

[legendxofxlink]

Patriots are lucky. They've already made the playoffs and the season hasn't even started...
Dolphins - Full on Tank mode
Jets - Bottom of Rebuild Mode
Bills - Bottom of Rebuild Mode

I sure have. The Packers will have a healthy Rodgers, improved defense, and possibly a competent coach. They can win 9 or 10 games if things go well. The Vikings have a ton of talent on defense and better weapons on offense than we do. If Kirk plays a little better they can win 9 or 10 games. Just because we were good last year and these teams weren't doesn't mean it will be the case this year. This is the NFL after all, and look at our turn around last year, no one saw 12 wins coming.
