The Chicago Bears Preseason Thread

They can't tackle tonight.

[rawaction]

Last year, you could blame the D on injuries and being on the field too much. There's no excuse for this BS tonight.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Our defense is a joke. Bob Babich shoudl not have a job.

[UK1679666180]

Good grief, have they even touched the QB? I'm not seeing the red jersey on their QBs.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Unreal. Just unreal. I really was puzzled why people thought this defense would be good. Injuries aside, they were terrible in 07.

[UK1679666180]

I want to see more of Bennett as a WR and less of Hester.

[UK1679666180]

Hopefully Grossman gets some time.

[mul21]

Tackling was terrible in the 1st half and has continued to not be good in the 2nd. They just don't look like they're going full speed right now. Plus the holding calls that aren't being whistled don't help. I hope they get their crap together because the O isn't going to score this much on a regular basis.

Bears fan booing....

 

Bunch of inbreds.

[UK1679666180]

I think I was one of the few that liked Walt Harris while he was a Bear.

[RedFlash]

Bring back Rivera....Babich's "D" is too much like Blache, in that they play too much "soft defense." I hate playing "bend, bend, don't break" defense. You lose more games that way defensively, then playing aggressively. The Bears D is set up to play aggressively, but are told to play conservate.

[Smack]

Blocked punt and field goal, great returns... special teams is the best phase of the game for the Bears.

Dave Toub for head coach and team president!

[Smack]

This booing of Grossman is classy...

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Booing Rex for making a safe play? God I hate our fan base, i really do. Bears should really just trade Rex.

Off-topic:

 

But, did anyone see the Fox preview for the show where fat people were trying to fit thru a wall with holes cut thru it and falling into water or was I imagining things?

 

I hope I wasn't.

 

Nope, I wasn't. I do plan on watching this for at least 30 minutes.

 

If I am not mistaken they are blindfolded too.

They're not blindfolded. It's a Japanese import. You can find some pretty good clips on youtube

Most football fans certainly should not be rewarded for their intelligence.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

At times I'm really ashamed to be a Bears fan...we have some of the dumbest, obnoxious, "meatballs" out there.

[Magnetic Curses]

rex gets hit before he gets the snap and then gets booed, the very definition of meatball.

Grossman did what he could.

 

Why do they cheer when Gould makes a tackle? They got brought the ball to midfield.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

They should bo that defense out there...how about that #54 that looks like a really average linebacker these days.

There's a reason why Bears fans don't get along with Packers fans and it's for that reason.

 

(Edit: b/c Packers fans are just the same)

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

After seeing the defense tongiht, I'm calling 3-13.

[UK1679666180]

Is Wolfe going to make this team? Hearing them talk about all these early busts makes me wonder about him as well.

[Magnetic Curses]

he's made some bad throws tonights, though.
