Bears 2010 preseason thread

[UMFan83]

Nice job Devin A. 2 catches in the red zone, one for a TD.

 

Haine was up and down that drive. He looked very meh on a couple of plays, but showed good scrambling ability and good vision on others. The O-line was pretty bad on that drive.

 

Here are the Bears running plays so far today:

 

1-10 Bears 30: Forte to right end for 1 yard.

1-10 Chargers 37: Forte to the right end for 2 yards.

2-8 Chargers 35: Forte up the middle for 2 yards.

1-10 Chargers 19: Forte up the middle for 2 yards.

2-20 Bears 37: Taylor up the middle for 7 yards.

1-10 Chargers 41: Taylor up the middle for -2 yards.

2-12 Chargers 43: Taylor up the middle for 1 yard.

1-10 Chargers 30: Taylor up the middle for 2 yards.

1-10 Chargers 18: Taylor to the left end for 2 yards.

1-7 Chargers 7: Taylor to the right for 0 yards.

 

So 10 running plays, 9 of them for 2 yards or less, 1 was for 7 yards that was largely made by Taylor changing direction and making a nice juke move. Overall 10 rushes for 17 yards. Awful.

Think he should have taken the sack there

 

cutler appears to have some bruises on the right cheek.

Gotta got into midseason challenge form somehow!

I missed it...did he call a timeout and then after the timeout challenge the play?

Mercifully no. He just challenged the play, despite the fact that it pretty obviously was a fumble.

[UMFan83]

The Chargers have been killing the Bears D, 1st team through now with passes right over the middle.

[Outshined_One]

I love how this team is so awesome at sucking on defense in any 2nd and long/3rd and long situation.

injury timeout. And that wasn't a particularly bad challenge. Yeah, they were going to lose, but at least it was close.

[UMFan83]

I'm not gonna lie the team hasn't looked very good at all tonight. That said, I don't put any stock in preseason. I was just hoping for something to entertain me for a few hours.

It just looks too much like last season, except for the quarterback play. Nice tackle, Maynard

[Sosa21MVP]

Major Wright hasn't returned to the sideline since halftime. Finger injury.

[Careless]

He was so surprised the ball was thrown to him he fell over.

[Careless]

Celebrating a sack when you got flagged for facemasking the qb is pretty stupid

[Outshined_One]

I love how the SD defender was so close to transitioning from a face mask to a horse collar.

[Tryptamine]

There is not one person on this team who can block. 6 sacks and two called back on penalities. Cutler is going to be dead by week 6.

[Careless]

Yes, between the O-line and the defensive secondary, I don't have much hope for breaking .500 this season.

[Tryptamine]

I know it's only preseason, but this team looks absolutely awful. I'm starting to be very concerned about the Lion's game.

[Sammy Sofa]

You're kidding, right?

[Banedon]

Ahhh yes. The first preseason game is a great time to evaluate whether this team is going to be any good. Watching the rest of the games is pretty unnecessary really.

 

I gotta say, it was great to see someone besides Ron Turner calling the plays.

[UMFan83]

Just wanted to point out for those that are actually worried based on this game, that the 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason that year. Please do me a favor and do not take any stock in this.

 

Do you people flip out when a Cubs starting pitcher gives up 4-5 runs in 3 innings in a Spring Training game? No because they aren't in season form yet, they aren't necessarily running plays that they will use in the same situation in the regular season. A lot of the time the players themselves are experimenting with different things to see if something works better (much like how in baseball a pitcher will work on, lets say, his breaking pitches during an outing and might get lit up as a result). And the most important thing, for those assured of their role, the intensity is much less than 100%.

[Magnetic Curses]

i thought hanie played really well and he's kind of like cutler without an arm that can make a decent throw.

I don't think you love either of these things.

The '85 Bears went 1-3 in the preseason.

I watched up until the Bears TD drive. Beekman and Louis were pretty horrible at C and RG respectively. Beekman in particular was beat on every single play that I saw. I thought Omiyale looked pretty solid. Williams looked good. Those 2 along with Garza were solid in pass protection. All 3 stayed on their blocks in the run game, but got 0 push.
