Needs to be the Josh Dobbs/Ty Chandler show tonight

Don’t make the same mistakes as the Denver game.  Trying to win with a running game and no deep threat.  Turnovers

Yes, but.  Give some credit to the Broncos defense.  They stifled a pretty good 7-3 Browns team (admittedly w/o their starting QB)

Give Denver credit.  They have some studs (Surtain, Simmons) on that defense and really needed the ball (and calls) to bounce right to beat us.  That says a lot about us.

Tonight, I think you have to try to attack with deep passing early, forcing Chicago into respecting a deep game which will open up running lanes for Chandler and Dobbs.  

Chandler needs the ball.  Addison needs the ball.  TJ needs to be able to break from the line.  If all 3 are having impacts, Dobbs will have a lot of opportunities.

IF we DO NOT GIVE THE BALL AWAY, we should hit the bye with another victory, going 6-1 without our best player who will be returning for the last 5 and playoffs.

This team can win out, and if they do, are at worst a 3# seed with at least one home game in the playoffs

Dobbs has to win the game tonight,  Chicago is one of the best run defenses in the league, it likely wont matter if its Mattison or Chandler running the ball,  we need to pass the Bears defense out of the box to open up a run game IMO.

Well, it was neither....wasn't it? Dobbs can't pass and they just refuse to give Chandler carries. 

So after the bye: who does KOC start? Mullens? My guess is they will be either the #7 NFC seed or on the outside looking in on the playoff race after their Bye week. I think we'd all like to see Hall but I think KOC won't go there until they are out of the playoff race and go with Mullens. If he sticks with Dobbs after this, I'm not sure what to say. At least it appears KOC gets that much as well:

KOC is in Les Frazierville.  Doesn't know what he's doing, then falls on his sword at the presser

Mullens might give us our best chance to win, but it sure would be nice to see what we have in Hall.

As long as we are in playoff contention, I think you owe it to the team to start the best QB to give this team a chance. If Mullens back is healthy, I think he makes a lot of sense. You have 2 weeks to get him ready with an offense that is suited to his skill set plus JJ.
