Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Mike Page 6-11 The end of an era, folks. Soon, we will be looking back on these times asking ourselves, “what was that like again?” and “how bad was it really?” Well, for all the future people coming to this article in 5, 10….100 years, let me tell you this. It wasn’t as bad as the John Fox and Marc Trestman years. We had talent. We won some tough games. There were exciting moments. Matt Nagy just couldn’t get out of his own way. He refused to adapt from a system that he loved more than winning, more than the p ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ It’s championship week in fantasy football land! Congrats to those who have made their league championship games and good luck to all of you. As it is championship week, it’s highly unlikely that you have anyone on your squad from either of these teams aside from maybe David Montgomery. That said, I’ll be short on the predictions this week. Thanks to anyone and everyone who has read these weekly fantasy sit/start articles as well as all of the content we put out on Bear Down Report! Chicago Bears Andy Dalton (Q ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Mike Page 5-11 Robert Quinn is going to break Richard Dent’s single season sack record today, and because it will be in the 16th game, no one will be able to say “yeah but it was a 17 game season.” People on twitter will still conjure some excuse like “teams trained differently”, and all of that is hogwash so just ignore it. Seeing him do it against one of many former Bears multi-million dollar mistakes in Mike Glennon will be both embarrassing and rewarding – a rare feat in most franchise history books, but se ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Mike Page 4-11 I am probably the only one truly interested in seeing BDN return to the helm with Matt Nagy and his “F-it” attitude. They are probably going to throw the ball 40 times, and Nick is going to be tossing up his famous 50-50 specials. Hopefully Allen Robinson can actually bring one of them down this time? Either way, it should be a multiple TD, multiple INT day for our 3rd string gunslinger, and I’m kind of here for it. Engage the shield. BDN is back baby…Best Xmas ever pic.twitter.com/DIesR8WzFS ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Chicago Bears Nick Foles (QB) Projected Points: 12.92 With Fields out due to an injury, Nick Foles will start Sunday. Considering he hasn’t had a start in over 14 months, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about here. Don’t even consider him as a spot start here. Verdict: Sit (sigh) David Montgomery (RB) Projected Points: 14.19 The Seahawks run D has allowed the 2nd most points to RBs this season and, again, are without their top defender in Jamal Adams. Nagy should give Montgomery 25+ carries in this game ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ No one likes to see somebody lose their job. However, it is a sad reality that in any workplace, when an employee has failed to perform at an acceptable standard, their employment will ultimately be terminated. Unfortunately for Matt Nagy, this is the inevitable situation that he will face at season’s end when the Bears’ front office will be left with no other option but to part ways with the 2018 NFL Coach of the Year. With a career record of 32–32 (.500), and two straight exits in the playoffs, the offense un ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Chicago Bears Justin Fields (QB) Projected Points: 20.17 Coming home after a pretty decent fantasy performance against the Packers, Justin Fields will look to string a second strong start together against a Vikings secondary that has been beat up all season long. With Minnesota giving up the 3rd most fantasy points to opposing QBs up to this point in the season, I love Fields as a DFS start. Only question will be how well Nagy sets him up with his play calling in this one. Verdict: Start (love him against the V ..read more

Mike Page 4-11 Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Here is a quick glance of the Bears roster for tonight’s game… First, if you get this movie reference, than I like you. If you’ve seen this amazing piece of American cinema history, than you would know that they won some games despite their odds. Here’s the thing, the guys we’re throwing out there in our secondary are hungry – they aren’t multi-million dollar players that have, as Jaylon Johnson would say, “gone to the tank” and given up on trying to get better. They are playing for their liveli ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Mike Page 4-9 Let’s just get this out of the way: I’m picking the Bears. Shoutout to Chubs (@BrandonLboog) and Chad (@beesley_chad) for the support in my continued, albeit misguided, optimism in Staff Picks. The only question is what justification I could possibly provide to describe why…why…the whys…have to find the whys. Like Matt Nagy, I really just need to look in the mirror, but alas, I reached out to #BearsTwitter anyway to gather their last ditch efforts to muster any semblance of hope. Unfortunately ..read more

Image by Zachary Rosenbaum – https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrosenbaumdesign/ Chicago Bears Justin Fields (QB) Projected Points: OUT Justin Fields will sit again this week due to his cracked ribs. Glad the Bears are prioritizing the rookie’s health and safety for the future in this dud of a season. Verdict: OUT Andy Dalton (QB) Projected Points: 17.81 With Fields resting up his fractured ribs for another week, Andy Dalton will get the start for the Bears in this tough matchup against a Cardinals D that is allowing the 3rd fewest fantasy points to QBs this season. With two of the top 10 p ..read more
