The NFC North is really set up for the Bears, as a Bear's fan I am pretty confident they will find some way to blow it. Should be 3_0. Vikings have all kinds of problems, but should be in every game. The Buffalo game is baffling.
Your issue is the QB. The Bears are solid on offense and great on defense but Mitch is holding you back. He's a bust
He might turn out not to be good but Mitch has started 15 games and only 3 under this Coach/OC. What were people saying about Goff after his 1st year?
I can agree with the first part, but he's shown potential, I like his mobility...would certainly rather have mahomes, but not ready to call him a bust.
Fair, I'll wait to see what he can do this season before completely labeling him a bust. Right now, his stats aren't good and he has a low comp. %.
How can you watch tonight’s game and come away with the o line and QB being the issue? How about Zim’s vaunted defense that has been horrendous for the past 5 and 1/2 games dating back to the NO playoff game.
Completely outclassed tonight. Most vastly overrated unit in football.

I have no horse in this race. I don't follow the NFL really at all but happened to watch a large portion of this game tonight because the Braves were playing like poo and I had Gurley, Cooks, and Cupp on one of my fantasy teams (yes, I'm very happy). This was one of maybe three NFL games I've watched the last two seasons, so I'm no expert on the Vikings but....
How in the hell did you decide that that was on the offensive line and the QB?! Did you miss the part where LA scored like 95 points and had what, 500? 600? yards of offense? Am I dreaming? Did I not actually get 68 points in fantasy tonight because of the Rams TORCHING the Minnesota defense ALL NIGHT LONG?
Seriously?! The QB and O-Line?!

Everson Griffin not lining up on the opposite side of Danielle Hunter causes more problems for that defense than any other player not named Harrison Smith being off the field. Normally with Richardson, Griffin, and Hunter you're going to have to max protect or leave someone 1 on 1, taking a load off the secondary.
Anthony Barr has cost himself a LOT of money so far this season.

The NFC north looks like the old Big 12 North around 2005. The Bears might end up like ISU 2005.
No doubt. No idea how anyone could watch that defense giving up 28 points a half and then pin it all on the offense.
Watching the Buffalo game, it felt like they were throwing too much (55 attempts, obviously a result of being down big early). Last night at the Rams it didn't even feel like they threw too much (50 attempts) when you consider how inefficient the run game was. Rams D-Line has some big names, but has been the same result for the first quarter of the season regardless. Need upgrade at LG and RT, would like to see Brett Jones at LG with Elflein back.
I still believe Mike Hughes' pick should've been spent on the OL. Cousins ball security issues alone are bad enough. His left tackle being repeatedly beaten like a rented mule isn't a good combination.
Zimmer has no issue building the defense for the future but God forbid they try to draft a decent young tackle or guard.

The defense looked really bad but you have to put much of this season's woes on the offensive line. The Vikings have Dalvin Cook and plenty of talented backups back there but they can not run the ball AT ALL. Considering that this is supposed to be a run first offense and these linemen were brought in to run block, that makes Cousins' job much, much harder. These linemen are too big and slow to pass block successfully when you have to pass the ball on 75% of your plays and no one respects the run game. I thought Cousins did a really nice job last night considering that he was pressured on almost every throw.
This a million times. It's like he hasn't been around the past 3 years watching the turn style in front of his QBs.
