Week 8: Chicago BEARS vs. New Orleans Saints, 3:25 local time (FOX)

[raw]

MIDDLE OF THE FIELD!!!

[UMFan83]

No way he makes this into the wind

 

Edit: I guess it’s possible based on the iced kick lol

[UMFan83]

Damn, so glad we signed that guy

I have PTSD as a result of Parkey.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

lol this is such a mediocre football team and it's perfect for today's NFL

[UMFan83]

I feel like the last 20 times or so when a game goes to OT and I want a team to win the toss they lose it. Not just bears games, but when I’m watching casually and prefer one team over the other lol

[raw]

Nervous and scared.

[UMFan83]

Nervous and scared.

 

Winning this game would have a dramatic effect on the Bears postseason odds that’s for sure

[UMFan83]

I was going to be shocked that the Saints went for it in that position. Thankfully the bears didn’t bite.

 

Protect the ball, make smart passes and get it into FG range

[UMFan83]

3 drops in 5 plays of OT? Lol

[Thurman Merman]

Stop dropping passes

[Soul]

Bah, had him.

 

I hate Hill by the way. The most punchable face in football.

[UMFan83]

When the Bears miss out on the playoffs by 1 game, remember this one where we handed the momentum to the other team for no good reason and ultimately lost the game

[UMFan83]

Good idea to use a TO for a strategy that’s proven to have no effect. If the Saints somehow missed that TO could be used for things that actually help teams win games lol

[raw]

Don't call a timeout and let him think it over. This is a stupid move. He should miss off principle.

I’ll have trouble remembering that game in 2020 versus that game in a bunch of other seasons.

 

But yeah, this one hurts like hell. Just handed it to them on a silver platter.

It reminds me of when Trestman opted to kick a 49 yard FG on second down in OT. It was missed, the Bears lost the game and then missed the playoffs by 1 game

[raw]

Bears once again had the lesser coach by a large margin, that 1st down FG attempt notwithstanding.

[UMFan83]

Sorry I can’t get over the TO thing. I think the reason is pisses me off is it exemplifies what I hate about Nagy. He is conservative during situations where you want him to be aggressive and aggressive in situations you want him to be conservative

[raw]

Six days ago at this time, the Bears had a shot to be the #1 seed in the NFC. Now, they sit on the outside of the playoff race looking in with losses to the 2 teams closest to them in the playoff standings.

 

Graham, Miller, Jackson and Smith all with overtime drops that probably win the game if caught.

Am I the only one that thought Foles was actually fine today outside of a few bad throws? This is all on Ryan Pace anyways. Jimmy Graham looks like the guy we thought he was. Robert Quinn has been invisible. He can't find a good QB if his life depended on it. He hired Nagy if you dislike him. It's time for him to go.

[WrigleyField 22]

Was really rooting for the tie so I could call them the worst 5-2-1 team ever. Worst 5-3 team ever does have quite the pizzaz.

[Sosa21MVP]

Watching this game felt like it was just draining the life out of me.

I don't agree with regards to Foles, but def agree with regards to Pace

 

Foles sucked. he was league average, at best
