Week 4: Tampa @ Bears SUNDAY AT NOON on Fox

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Have all the big plays against this defense come on crossing routes?

 

Most of them. Behind the linebackers or exploiting a linebacker trying to cover laterally across a long distance.

[UMFan83]

Well horsefeathers

[UMFan83]

Dammit I really wanted to see that 2 QB play

[Butterscup]

back on the mitchell train

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We have always believed in Mitchell Trubisky

[Tim]

Mitch "whole field" Trubisky

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Keep your foot on the gas pedal, Bears.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was the best drive of Trubisky's career.

 

The first big throw was a *tiny* bit underthrown but acceptable. The big pass to Cohen was perfect.

 

The TD wasn't a difficult pass, but it was well-read and he got the ball out quickly, which he hasn't always done in those situations.

[UMFan83]

BRB going to replace all my critIcal Trubisky posts

[UMFan83]

Is that the 4th game in a row with a forced fumble for Mack? Haha

[Rex Buckingham]

for the record, I will take credit for Trubisky being awesome today. I dropped him from my fantasy team this week in favor of Baker Mayfield.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

When is the last time a Bears QB had 4 TD passes in one half?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Better get 10 tds

[UMFan83]

9 TD passes in his first 15 games

 

4 TD passes in the first half

[UMFan83]

5 TD passes in the first half. horsefeathers Pat Maholmes

[Hairyducked Idiot]

OK so we're probably not going to Chase Daniel.

[UMFan83]

Dammit Bears you are gonna make me have to watch the Cubs

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Still time for one more to tie the first-half record.

That Akiem Hicks sack was a textbook example for everyone who does the dumb "How can you possibly sack a QB without driving your weight into him" takes.

One of the first things that jumped out at me watching Khalil mack highlight videos right after we traded for him was how non-violent his sacks usually were. For as much havoc as he causes, he almost always drags them down with arm tackles, even to the point where he moves his body so he hits the ground first and just pulls them down. It was refreshing (not in a "hey he won't get penalties" way, but in a "i don't feel dirty watching that" sort of way). I am totally fine if football moves that direction.

That's where it needs to go, and I think it will get there, it's just gonna take years. Players and fans are still too inculturated to think about "hits" rather than tackles. But it's slowly turning.

Well we might today

[UMFan83]

Hicks is going to get suspended isn’t he? Wow

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Hicks is going to get suspended isn’t he? Wow

 

Yup.

[UMFan83]

Jordan Howard only 2 carries and 1 target in the first half vs 8 and 3 for Cohen. :-k

[We Got The Whole 9]

Yeah did Howard get hurt?
