That was ridiculous.

[UMFan83]

LOL a blocked punt by the Bears might cost them a chance to win the game.

[Magnetic Curses]

can you advance a blocked punt?

[Careless]

can you advance a blocked punt?

Is there a difference between that and dropping the punt when its on its way down? I don't actually think I've seen that play work before.

i don't know, i guess you could consider it a fumble, but that's just terrible.

 

anyhow, this game means nothing, it's nice to see a blocked punt.

[Magnetic Curses]

that punter is certainly getting a lot of congratulations after having a punt blocked.

Apparently you can. Never seen that happen before.

[UMFan83]

Not that winning or losing matters but damn.

 

-Robbie Gould misses a chip shot FG from 29 yards out

-Bears driving for an easy FG when Hanie throws a pick 6.

-Bears block a punt and the punter recovers and runs for a first down

 

How close we were to winning....

 

Anyways, I was impressed by the offense today. The defense was mediocre but got better at the end. Special teams was a virtual non-factor.

Earl Bennett needs to play more.

Chester Taylor:

 

"My running backs coach (Tim Spencer) told me after I came out for pregame that I wasn't playing," Taylor said. "He didn't give me no reason or no excuse or nothing. It can't be from the competition because it's hard to get three carries in a preseason game and the other players are getting 13, 14 carries. That's not comparing anything. It's not from production and play."

 

"Yeah, I'm disappointed,'' he said. "I'm practicing all week thinking I'm going to play. Just for them to come out of the blue and say that, yeah, I'm disappointed."

Earl Bennett needs to play more.

Hopefully at the expense of Hester.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Bennett, Williams, Hester, Knox, Sanzenbacher would be an ok WR corps

[Banedon]

Apparently Briggs has requested a raise, and will demand a trade if he doesn't get money added to his contract by the end of the season.

Desmond Clark (knee) walked out of locker room without crutches. Didn't appear to be badly hurt. We'll see what tomorrow brings. JD

It doesn't sound like he's long for the team.

Didn't he just get a new contract last year?

[BigSlick]

I'm really glad this wasn't a meaningful game because the fact that the Bears 'lost' would have infuriated me.

 

Strange to see the Bears 1st team offense move at will. Still clean up those Special Teams things please.

Spring of 2008.

Colts released Josh Beekman.

Not worried. Last year we couldn't make a FG in preseason, if you remember.

That does not feel that long ago.

Brad Biggs said that Lance Briggs' contract is now 60% paid out and that he doesn't have any more roster bonuses moving forward.

Yep, it makes sense for Briggs to try to pick this fight now though. He's not gonna get primo money if he waits till the deal is done.
