team can stop the run, and both have scrambling QBs.
Pressure from Thibs and AO would help our depleted secondary. My guess is the Bears attack Robinson frequently. We also need to protect the edge better.
We absolutely have to get something from our WRs today. None can apparently separate, and have to as a consequence be "schemed" open. We won't win many games if Barkley is our only offensive weapon. The Bears like everyone else will simply load up to stop him. For that reason, my "sleeper" player today is Marcus Johnson. Let's see what he can do.
I'd love to do so, but I don't think the OL can pass block well enough to allow our receivers to get downfield. I also think Slayton may have lost some of his deep speed. But if we are going to take some deep shots, we should do so on first down when a pass rush is less likely.
They have to find a way to run the ball with consistency. If they are in the bad down/distance it exposes the two big weaknesses. PB OL and lacking WR's.
Like to see some adjustments to the run scheme instead of playing that small pass ball.
Hope Wink addressed the front 7 issues as best as he can. Agree Williams is a huge loss. Hopefully no more JAG labels for him.
Not sure how you are getting to five. Three at best.
If you count slot at receiver and CB than I would say it's 5. Flott was a starter last week and has probably worked himself into the top 3 CB. Robinson will likely be limited today. Wan' Dale is our slot receiver with Shepard done. Toney would start outside opposite Golladay. Williams and Calitro are starters.
Even if you dont want to count Wan'Dale and Flott as starters they are significant depth pieces that arent on the field.
It’s my first time here. Admittedly it’s boring and ugly, and the concessions are uninspired, but it’s much more modern than Giants stadium
They spent a billion dollars to make a "more modern" Giants stadium. It's not THAT bad until you compare it to other stadiums, and then you see how dull and mediocre it is.

Bad weather makes a low scoring game likely.

He has been suffering from illness.
Our young OTs will not be happy

Bears' fans":This is a winnable game. They just need to pound the ball on the ground.

You can say that about any week on BBI over the past 5 years.

What, is he going to puke on them or something?
Because it’s boring, ugly and uninspiring.
Only possible "starters" are Williams, Robinson, and Toney.
McCloud isn't a starter.
Who are you counting? Calitro? He was benched.

Robinson has proved nothing in the NFL.
He is not a starter yet.
