U literally commented on me, Diaper. I commented on your post, stating polls have a public option and encouraged that you use it.

I think you are getting it twisted, Diaper.
Fair enough

They need some of the young talent on D to actually develop like other teams players do.
They have some up the middle but its complimentary pieces, no one dominant.

I am guessing they will make a trade during the seaon if the situation presents itself.

Dexter can hopefully be that guy. His pressure rate for a rookie DT was pretty good. He also outplayed carter near the end of the year. I'm very high on him

The oline lacks solid players and their best player is prone to injury...

There is a razor thin margin on the oline and any attrition will cause problems. I think the oline is better than last year, but that isn't saying much.
I agree but I believe that every single team has their own razor thin group. Sadly, the Bears' is probably the most important one, the trenches.

I'd consider Braxton, Tev, Davis, and Wright all average or above average at their position. Isn't that the actual definition of solid? lol

They have a lot of depth now too, unlike last year. It all comes down to bates and center, if he plays well then the OL should be more than fine. If he sucks it will be a long long year
Shelton might end up being a key signing, if Bates struggles.

I was excited to see Dexter. I looked at his pressures, those somewhat subject stats look ok, however he was a little more quiet than I'd have liked, but he did show up a little more later in the year. I hope he can take another step in 24. The Bears will need him to perform on the dline.

The DL is concerning.. they lost the main DT and only drafted a project DE..

Ive read people here make this claim. Justin Jones is a JAG. not talkin jacksonville either. just a guy

easily replaceable and not a difference maker.

...but everything has to go right in order for the Bears to make a playoff appearance.

Like every sports team?

-Key core players produce like core players and stay healthy
-Ball bounces / luck
-One or two surprise guys having career best years. For the 2018 bears it was Tarik Cohen and Anthony Miller

Good effort, but it would have been funnier if two people didn’t already make that joke before you in this thread.
Yeah, I admit I didn't read the other responses, probably because there's a nearly identical subject -matter thread on the front page that discussed nearly the exact same thing that was posted several days earlier.

How far will the Bears go this season?

I predict playoffs with a wild card exit..

What do you think?
Fuck it, Ima go with knocking on the door of the Super Bowl this year, and kicking it in next year.
