Bears vs Packers week 1

[UMFan83]

This is a realllll conservative game plan, offensively. Working so far and keeping Rodgers off the field is great but it's still Rodgers and I'm not sure we can grind them to a win. We need to hit some of these big plays in the 2nd half.

 

It's a great game plan. All the runs shorten the game. I guess the less the packers possess the ball the better right? 3 first half possessions (not including kneel) and they scored twice and both sort of quickly.

this commitment to the run narrative is already annoying

 

yes it's easy to be "committed" to the run when you're gaining yards at will

[Guest]

please give dave toub whatever it takes to not be mad at us for firing lovie anymore

I really wish we could have held on to the unquestioned best special teams coach in the league because we can't afford [expletive] like that

 

I also hate that anytime we get pressure on Rodgers he turns it into a magical 10 yard flip to a running back

[Wilson A2000]

Great tackling

[Outshined_One]

Great start. Great start.

[Guest]

waste of a challenge

[ARCubsFan]

Waste of a timeout

[Careless]

Why would you challenge that?

[BigSlick]

Jesus christ between that and the James Jones TD, there's literally nothing to stop that

 

It's stupid to challenge it though, thats pretty clearly a catch, just an absurd unstoppable one

between the horrific and ill timed penalties and then the ridiculously good/lucky plays (sometimes on the same play) things are evening out i suppose

Bears had a nice first half. They can't hang with GB in the 2nd.

or maybe they can

[Wilson A2000]

Gotta pressure Rodgers

[Guest]

how about a 28 minute TD drive?

[rawaction]

Ugh. James Jones.

[rawaction]

how about a 28 minute TD drive?

 

That'D be ideal.

[Outshined_One]

Here's hoping the Bears also adjusted at the half.

nah

 

we'll stay committed on this drive to what worked in the 1st half, gb will bottle it up, rodgers will march right back for another TD and then we'll try and play catch up by opening things up and the game will get out of hand

[BigSlick]

This Mariani guy seems like the type of person journalists would love to call "gritty" and I hate him

[Wilson A2000]

Long fell down in one second on that run to the right

[Guest]

yay we can shovel pass too!

[Outshined_One]

Oh thank God that worked.

[BigSlick]

Cutler with a shovel of his own!

 

I think that's the first time I've ever seen a Bears QB make that work

pretty sure cutler has done it many times

 

i have a faint recollection of mccown possibly having done it to the cowboys too
