Bears game 1: Sunday, Sep 11 vs ATL, noon on Fox

[Soul]

Despite only giving up 3 points, D has me a little concerned so far.

Bend, but don't break. There's a time and a place for that philosophy, but in general I hate it.

 

That drive was more about selling out on a 3rd and short, getting out of position, and nearly giving up a huge TD run. After that, it was an attempt to salvage whatever they could.

The Falcons playcalling is just playing into the Bears hands...they are too conservative.

Man how can CBS still be showing the Colts game? Switch to something else please. I have nothin to watch on commercials.

I realize that the early part of that series was the 3rd and short and Wright being caught out of position, but there was some of that philosophy in play for that series.

 

I think my point still stands that that mindset is ever present among the defensive powers that be.

[Careless]

That was great all around

[CDBears1259]

How was that not a TD!!!

[Guest]

Arghhhhhhhhhhh. Come on Hester, get the TD there.

 

ETA: I need a better replay.

[UMFan83]

How was that not a touchdown.

 

Mike Martz is really showing some AWESOME playcalling today that's being executed perfectly.

[kujay]

I don't know if he got in, but there was no reason he shouldn't have.

[CDBears1259]

Got to think that ruling will be reversed.

[UMFan83]

He stepped in bounds at the 1/2 yard line and then extended his arm

[Guest]

Poor challenge.

 

ETA: Guess it wasn't according to the FOX ref dude.

 

Doesn't matter, touchdown!

[CDBears1259]

BS!!!

[UMFan83]

Hester cut his dreads?

[Banedon]

Poor challenge.

 

Looked like a TD to me. Didn't step out until a yard deep in the endzone.

[Careless]

Play calling is really working

[CDBears1259]

Poor challenge.

Disagree, but whatever. TD!!!

[UMFan83]

Very smart call to pass on 1st and goal from the 1. Everyone and their mom was expecting Forte up the middle. I was scared to see 3 stuffs and a FG.

 

Very nice. Lots to be happy about on offense today.

[Careless]

Poor challenge.

the ball has to cross the goal line in bounds and there's no way to see if it did without a non-existent overhead shot.

[kujay]

Two things. First, it's funny that they didn't try to run that in.

 

And second, this is fun.

[Soul]

Poor challenge.

 

Yeah, it's highly unlikely they wouldn't score anyway.

 

Although, I'd rather lose a timeout on a scoring play challenge, than be like Atlanta and waste a timeout on a 3rd and inches.

[UMFan83]

Love the philosophy that we have a lot of playmakers on offense, so lets get the ball in their hands and watch them do their thing.

[Guest]

Hester cut his dreads?

 

Seriously?

 

Like ten years ago.

[Sosa21MVP]

This is just total and utter domination, I could not have asked for a better game so far.

[UMFan83]

Man I really want to win so I can hear everyone talk about how much of a fluke this game was and how the Bears lucked out becuase the Falcons 2nd string RG didnt play or something.
