I simply refuse to believe that our pass-catchers AND DBs will have this horrific case of the dropsies again. Like this shit was worse than the Steelers road game last season.
As for the Broncos defense, with the exception of run defense (ranked 10th), their defense is a top 5 unit in total defense, passing defense, and scoring defense. Our offense is gonna have their hands full and this will be another stressful game.
As for our defense, I'm hoping that Marlon and Wiggins are able to come back. We could need all the help we can get. I would think Pierce would be out unless his injury is minor, no? Same goes for Urban if he can pass concussion protocol. I'm extremely concerned with the lack of Ojabo. Wtf is going on? And is Mads gonna turn it up? I don't regret us signing him, but come on man.

ruth could coach this d better than Orr
we've got a historically dominant ravens offence and yet every game feels like a game of russian roulette because of this defence
it's a shame because we can't win a super bowl playing this bad on defense.

i think it's been shown that we can win with faalele - it's not ideal when he faces elite opposition but we should be able to scheme around it and function as an offence
Would Nate Davis be an upgrade? He has been benched so he’s probably not a huge upgrade and Chicago would have to eat a lot of the salary but might be worth a look
I don't see any reason to mess with the chemistry there at this point. It's not perfect but it's good enough to win with and I wouldn't be trying to do anything to ruin that. If I was looking to add OL at all, it would be depth.

Loved Nate Davis in college and really wanted him here, but I haven’t seen great things from him in Chicago, few tidbits here and there from Twitter showing some real ugly shit.
I have not watched any film on him since he got in the nfl though
he'd be someone i'd happily bring in in the offseason for cheap after a down year and see if we can't get a john simpson season out of him
but im not spending capital to go get him

OL doesn't move the needle for me unless it's something significant. Maybe if it helps to improve run blocking so we can be more effective there it could benefit the defense by keeping the offense on the field or being more successful in those short yardage situations but eh. Give me a pass rusher or bust. WR, RB, TE, LB, S wouldn't really move the needle for me. DT, Edge would and OL may but not really big for me and I think the cost would be generally too high

All I can say is Sean Payton has been the king of checkdowns every year and that holds true this year with Nix. If the corners give 8 yards of separation all game, it will continue to be a death by a thousand paper cuts down the field.
yeah I saw they were scheduled for this game about a week ago.

Winston is a gunslinger for better or worse, and he slung it to us several times and we dropped it. However, that being said, if Bo fucking Nix throws for 300 yards, the season is over. He is terrible, if he does this to us, we aren’t doing shit
