Bears game 1 vs Falcons, Sun at noon on Fox

If Trubisky gives the team a better chance to win, the defense is going to mutiny.

[Thrilho]

They're right. Hicks is taking a couple plays off here.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like he's come off the field though. Seems like we should be seeing RRH and Bullard more to keep everyone fresh.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Haha we will take that penalty

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is known for his candor, which made his comments about rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky all the more interesting. Asked for his thoughts on Trubisky after the preseason and facing him in practices, Fangio was almost too measured. Of course, the last thing he wants to do is further ignite an already red-hot quarterback debate.

 

“I saw a guy that improved,” Fangio said. “Definitely made steps and improved. I will say that, and I will limit it to that, but he definitely improved, which is what you want to see.

“Everybody thinks they’re a quarterback expert, and I don’t want to add to that pile of people.”

Glennon completes a pass to his TE with 12 seconds left to avoid going the entire 3rd quarter without a completion

[Tim]

Atlanta is really beginning to crowd the line.

[UMFan83]

When you have a QB that can't throw downfield you have to be nearly perfect when you have a 1st and 20 to convert

[Tim]

They had all 11 guys within 10 yards of the line on that play

[UMFan83]

Only 4 of Glennon's 15 attempts have been to a WR

[Tim]

This is why the run game could be less than elite. If teams can put all eleven defenders in the box, you're not going to be elite at running the ball.

[WrigleyField 22]

Don't just start Trubisky. Fire Glennon to the moon. He's worse than Brian Hoyer.

[SpongeWorthy]

stop auto checking down to a back you horsefeathering goof

[Tim]

That was a heck of a catch by Sanu.

[UMFan83]

There are my Bears

[We Got The Whole 9]

What in the horsefeathers just happened

 

That was the worst blown assignment

[Tim]

Stupid ass punt

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is not a great defense

[Butterscup]

what the horsefeathers was that

[Guest]

Well, that was bound to happen

[UMFan83]

Defense absolutely cannot give up a play like that if they are going to start Captain Checkdown every week.

That is not how it works. If a team does that, your running game is badass

[UMFan83]

This is not a great defense

 

[expletive]. They've played fine. That was a ridiculously unacceptable play but it doesn't erase 3 quarters of mostly above average play.

 

The Bears should have called a TO before that snap, they looked really confused so I wasn't surprised when Ryan found someone wide open

[SpongeWorthy]

the bears haven't had an opponent make a crippling mental error like that in a big spot since 2006

No - it means your passing game is non-existent.

Yes it does. And sure, they're fine.
