Bears game 7: Sunday Oct. 24 vs WAS on FOX

[Soul]

Funny how a few short passes builds some confidence, and then suddenly Jay scrambles and keeps a play alive and gets a TD.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I like Johnny

[Rex Buckingham]

finally make a play... great throw and great job escaping pressure

[Magnetic Curses]

please don't smack our recently concussed star quarterback on the helmet. thanks.

[Soul]

Somehow have the lead at halftime.

 

I agree with Sully's comment from earlier -- given the crap on O for most of the half, the D has been putting up an amazing effort, especially considering Briggs isn't there.

[Wilson A2000]

So many things have to go right for this offense to score. Nothing is easy.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I thoguht Briggs was playing?

 

no?

[Soul]

Jay's QB rating went from 50-ish to 100-ish in one drive.

[Sosa21MVP]

I thoguht Briggs was playing?

 

no?

 

He started but got injured again.

[Rex Buckingham]

officially done for the game now

[Careless]

"lovie said that the big difference was "blocking"

 

Yeah, they should have tried that earlier

[Wilson A2000]

Bennett is a great blocker and a pretty tough cookie for a small guy. Is he getting close to being the full-time slot receiver?

[Wilson A2000]

That's how you beat the blitz. Line picks up the minimum and a quick pass must come.

[UMFan83]

Oh no...first and goal from the 1. Time to get 0 points.

[Magnetic Curses]

the worst of all possible outcomes.

[Careless]

I love that we're so terrible at first and goal from the one we're challenging this

 

and his butt was down

[Wilson A2000]

Good challenge. The Bears have to be the worst team in the league if they are given first and goal from inside the one yard line.

[rawaction]

Ok, if I know this. Mike Martz has to. It's not ironic that the short passing game has opened up the 7-step drops Martz likes to do.

[UMFan83]

Very smart challenge by Lovie. Any other team i'd say unless it was blatently obvious don't challenge it. But I don't at all feel convinced the Bears can score from this position so its a good challenge.

 

Edit: And it appears everyone else is thinking like I am too.

yes, it was.

[Wilson A2000]

Seriously find another team so the Bears can score here.

[Magnetic Curses]

the old guy who goes to the superbowl every year is so obviously hugh hefner.

[Magnetic Curses]

maybe this can be considered a spot challenge?

[Rex Buckingham]

seriously, they should have moved the ball back to the 2 there.
