and btw, former Illini Geronimo horsefeathering Allison would look pretty good in a Bears uniform.

My problem with the guys like Hub and Biggs and some others is that they're saying that the Bears have to play this way to win games. They're saying that the Bears don't have the receivers to play any other way when that's obviously not true. The Bears certainly don't have good receivers at all, but they have enough of a ground game to open those guys up for Mitch.

Even if you asked Mitch to play like this his mobility, release, velocity, and ball placement would be total 180s from what we have currently and we'd be far more efficient moving the ball.

1. Don't buy it. 3 games is enough to know he's not a starter in this league. He's got 18 million reasons to be thankful for the opportunity he got and didn't deserve to begin with.

2. A win in spite of his horrible play.

3. OK. Fair enough. This is the only point I'm buying.

4. He's going to have to face a tough team sooner or later. He's going to lose sooner or later. He's going to get hit sooner or later.

 

1. The first game was enough but he still started game 2. Evidently the coaching staff or more likely management wants to see more to get their money's worth. I never said it was a good reason, just a reason.

2. The drop off from winning to losing, regardless of the win is still noticeable. Once Glennon loses another game it becomes easier to replace him without over inflated expectations.

4. He will have to face tough competition but why do that in his debut if you don't have to? If the season is lost, waiting 3 games isn't going to matter that much

Smoke screen or stupidity?

The Steelers' game plan was really bad. I follow one of the Steelers bloggers on Twitter, and he's pointing out several big running plays where the Steelers were just not equipped to stop the run at all. Bears would be in single back with 3 TEs, and the Steelers would be in a cover 2 shell, with 7 in the box (8 blockers for Bears, 5 OL + 3 TEs). Or they'd be in a 4-3 under with 300lb Cam Heyward having outside contain against the obviously fast Cohen. They even A-gap blitzed a few times when the Bears were gashing them with the outside zone, completely taking their LBs out of the play.

 

Really looked like the Steelers gameplanned without taking into account their opponent.

 

As for Glennon's performance and the drops......I wonder how much of drops can be related to the QB? Like a pitcher who is wild and either walks or Ks a lot of hitters then gives up a ball in play. The fielder may not be 100% into the game because he's been just standing there for 20-25 pitches, then boots a ball. Glennon misses open receivers or checksdown so much, it's gotta be hard for WRs to catch the ball when they aren't expecting it because they are being covered tightly.

 

Read yesterday that Mariota has had the lowest # of drops this year and finished w/ the lowest drops last year. He has a quick release, spreads the ball around, and generally doesn't miss too many open opportunities.

I would argue that it's not a significant difference as far as your drop theory. The receivers suck, so they drop passes. They dropped an obscene amount last year, too

Why are we tossing around losses like it's no big deal? The Bears are capable of beating anyone on their schedule, they aren't a bad team, just a flawed team.

 

Throwing away winnable games for the sake of developing a QB from the bench is insane. I'm sick of people acting like the Bears will lose anyway so why even try?

They're going to get housed in almost half their games and most of the other half will be dragged down into a Fox-style slog where someone has to win, of which they'll probably win about half. 5-11

that's hardly a reason to forfeit the season

I mean, I agree, but I'm also biased because I just really want to watch Trubisky.

If Trubisky doesn't play, this team is 5-11. If he does, i'm thinking 9-7.

Sweet, I just read Romo is doing the game tonight.

[SpongeWorthy]

Floyd better eat tonight

[Guest]

Goldman down but hopefully a cramp

[jersey cubs fan]

I highly recommend the U.K. language option on amazon

[UMFan83]

Not impressed with the defense on this drive. Yikes

[SpongeWorthy]

Trash defensive calls that series

[UK]

That was a schooling. I expect similar efficiency from the Bears

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was a horrible opening drive for the defense

[UK]

Bears with no stunts or blitzes against backup OTs.

[David]

How the hell was that not a fumble

[Brian]

f this guy for real, give us Mitch

[UMFan83]

I'm shocked that the stiff couldn't feel the pressure coming. That is how you keep your starting job.
