Is the Bigsby TD the same play that Barkley ran for a TD last year in the NFC championship?

If it was a 3 gap, yes. We run that alot(Between Dickerson and Cam) What was evident to me was the player drive. They were hitting harder. Nice to see. Bark absolutely needs to get ins space to be effective, Tank is more of an "in your face" RB IMO

Seems high IMO. Bigs should be carrying the 2 downs I would think, but I would like to see Ships role increased. TBH our return game isn't all that hot either

Tank should rest for playoffs. Shipley should be getting 20 carries and bring up a 4th RB if they have one. Barkley shouldn't dress, and Tank can rest too.

My point... i shouldn't have to watch either of the next 2 games . Similar to the last few years when the games mean nothing. Shipley should be playing games mean nothing let him run all game long.

Shipley all of a sudden seems unreliable

Games mean nothing....play him. That's the point.

Maybe your idea that Hurts is this great leader is BS ...if you believe the team has not been interested the last 6 weeks.

Would a great leader let that happen. Which is it? Hurts is not a leader or the team was actually playing to win? One or the other, can't have it both ways

Except players want to play. You'll hear alot of grumbling from AJ because Hurts failed him early and he only started getting stats after dropping hints. Bark would be cool, IDK how tank feels and I understand it's a coaching decision,but these guys aren't happy sitting around

Since I don't watch college or preseason...he has never been reliable to me. Always " potential " Gainwell was reliable.

Where have you seen this? From one of Ham's sources? You are assuming a lot here

This was a weird quote...it quoted me but not your post about the guys wanting stats??

I was really high on MJ. IMO he would have surpassed Ship by now, but IDK. Having Bark and Tank lets us mess around with RB3 LOL

IDK why we have Dillon either

With the Bears win, as it sits now, we'll play the 49'ers. Let's get healthy.

Last yr Elliot looked iffy going in to the playoffs, then only missed 1 FG. Still think we need to bring in competition for next yr. With these crazy long FG's, the league could start thinking about narrowing the posts. JMO

Think Ship has a higher ceiling, needs to be steadier <-- head's all messed up, can't think of the right word.

Consistent!

Would Buffalo have that same mindset vs us? To rest their guys? Since it's a whole nother conference I'm not sure taking an L is important to either team as far as seeding goes?

NFL playoff picture: Updated projections, chances to make...

We're looking ahead to how the 14-team playoff picture could line up -- and who will win divisions -- en route to Super Bowl LX.

Besides when Elliot was injured and we brought in Dicker the Kicker, we never had a competition with Elliot - wierd.

There you go...Dillon should get 15 carries as well

Potential....is the word. Shipley has done nothing as a pro yet. College doesn't mean anything... so it's Potential.

We can worry about that after the draft. 4 months away.

There's nothing you can do about Elliot this year

Just gonna have to roll with what they have

Curious how Bigs would do as a kick returner
