Bears 2015 Draft Discussion

[SKO]

Starting to regret my Levi's Stadium ticket purchase for Sunday.  Is there any chance the Bears don't get embarrassed in this game?  1%?

FWIW, the 49ers didn't look all that great last week.

Romo basically gave them the game and then they just held on to win it. 

The defense has a lot of losses from last year, Crabtree didn't click well with Kaep in the first game and the running game wasn't overly impressive until the very end of the game, against a team that's supposed to have one of the worst defenses in the league, if not the history of the league.

So yeah...probably like 27-10 49ers.

I completely disagree. 45-27 49ers. Kaep runs wild on this defense, the Bears offense will have a good but ultimately futile effort, Cutler will get the blame for his desperation fourth quarter heave that's picked off and returned for the final Niners touchdown. Cutler finally snaps and says "seriously, fuck you people" during the postgame presser, Emery takes Dan Bernstein's advice and releases him after Jay refuses sensitivity training. The Bears rally behind Notre Dame alum Jimmy Clausen to go 9-5 the rest of the way and sneak in as the 6 seed. Jay dies of the measles after one his unvaccinated kids contaminates him and KCav tells him all western medicine is bad in general. The 30 for 30 comes out a few years later. "What if I told you about a Quarterback who could have been the greatest if he'd only smiled?"

Well played-- but I think you may be missing a wrinkle

So, you completely disagree that they'll lose by 17 and think they'll lose by 18.

If Marshall and Alshon are really both out, I'd like to revise my estimate of 10 points for the Bears.

My money is on Marshall playing. Jeffery I don't know. They've been disturbingly evasive about his injury from the start.

They shouldn't be saying much about any injury that a player might hope to play through. Ever. None of has a right to know what is going on with these guys. Why give the 49ers or any opponent any useful information?

Exactly. Alshon's hammy has never been better. Trestman's just playing the Belichick game. Hell, Alshon donated his hammy to science because he didn't even need it. He's that good.

"Actually, his hamstring is a little bit sore. Not like pulled, but tweaked. You know he probably shouldn't go full tilt or anything. Some routes he should be fine like fades and little outs and stuff but nothing deep, nothing down the sidelines. Also one good shot to the back of the leg would probably do him in. So, we're hoping to just limit the plays we can call while he is in the game because it's in his best interest and ours. Any other questions, guys? Seriously, ask me anything."

I get witholding information. I just fear hamstring injuries more than just about anything for a position like wide receiver. I think it might honestly just be best to hold him out if there's even a question. An ankle injury like Marshall's is less likely to result in serious injury, so if he can bear the pain, send him out. But don't have Alshon tear his hammy when Santonio is a perfectly capable backup.

[InternetApex]

I'm unsure about Santonio but I don't think it matters much. I saw the play that Jeffrey got hurt on Sunday. It looked like he got hit in the lower leg head-on, and stayed down on the ground a little bit on the sideline. The next time we saw him, he was on his back on the trainer's table in some amount of real pain while they tried to bend his right knee. In my mind it looked like a contusion had swollen up to the point that he had limited flexibility in that leg. Then they said nothing for like an hour and then finally said, "Hamstring, Probable."  Why would they hold him out except for special situations? Because he couldn't bend his knee properly and it hurt like dick probably. I really expect Alshon to play on Sunday. My belief is that Marshall is the more injured of the two but that he's fucking insane and will try to play until they tell him no or shoot him.

I think Santonio looked good for the situation he was in. A couple of drops, yes, and some mental errors, but that's to be expected with a guy three weeks into learning a fairly complicated offense. He got reps as a starter this week for the first time so hopefully he's better prepared. My only question was his health and he sure looks like he's got his old speed.
