    Please, no secondary players to Pats, probably their main weakness.

        Trading away good players for sixth round picks. The bears know they're going to be bad this year

            Not sure how of players good they are. Allen is past his prime and Bostic is JAG.

                This is how you tank a season. We've been through this debate before when the Bills sucked & some of us wanted the team to lose, not by purposely playing to lose, but by letting the lack of talent lose naturally. Bears management is making sure the talent level is reduced so that the team can have a 100% effort on the field by the players left, but reducing their chances with off the field moves. This is a luxury a 1st year coach with a track record can afford to do. The last time Fox successfully coached a team to the #1 pick he got fired, this time he'll get the rewards of this season on draft day.

                  It's really such a shame we won't see Spiked around here anymore. He's going to be too busy trolling Bears forums.

                    They have a long way to go to match the Sabres efforts of the past 2+ years.

                      They're not so much tanking. The declining Allen wasn't a fit in their 3-4, and Bostic never developed in Fangio's D either.

                        Allen makes sense if you're looking to postseason and have a quick need. Bostic will go to NE and be a superstar in 3 years. ;-)
                        Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

                          Allen in a 4-3 though. Bostic is fast, should have been an ideal fit for Fangio, but has trouble with his reads, and can't untangle from contact with a blocker. Belichick might get aggravated with him. Or, heh, he'll be a superstar in 3 years.

                            Allen was a DE last year for the Bears and only notched 5.5 sacks. His best days are behind him.
