[UMFan83]

i do not think the raiders will be able to focus very well for the next 48 hours

We gotta stop bringing up the past and quit the witch hunts. What these young guys said 10 years ago when they were....*checks notes* 48 years old, don't reflect who they are today.

 

You had me in the first half, I’m not gonna lie

[UMFan83]

While injuries suck I briefly got excited thinking the Bears might miss Wilson now but of course no the Bears don’t play them until week 16. He’ll miss the Packers though of course.

 

I guess maybe the hope is that the Seahawks struggle so much they just shut him down.

Oh sure he was 48 years old you say. But we have to understand people where there are in their life experience.

 

Back in 2011 Gruden had only spent *checks notes* 19 years as a coach and commentator in a sports league that is *rechecks notes* 68% black.

Hopefully, Fields hangs 30+ on his shitty defense

Sigh, this looks familiar.

[UMFan83]

Fields possibly hurt

 

[UMFan83]

[Tryptamine]

This team cannot tackle.

[UMFan83]

Raiders offense looks like he’s ready to carve up the Bears all game

[Soul]

Nobody’s told Dalton about Fields.

[BigSlick]

If Dalton comes in this game I’m turning it off to

I guess I’ll hang in but defense looks like Swiss cheese. Not going to matter who plays QB if this keeps up.

[Tryptamine]

Yup, if Fields is out is out, I have zero interest in this game

[BigSlick]

Uh oh. This is feeling like the Browns game all over again.

 

EDIT: Just as I finish this post the Raiders bail the Bears out with a roughing call and now they seemingly can move the ball again. Hooray!

[BigSlick]

Man, the Bears are really running the ball well. I'm impressed, particularly with Montgomery out.

[UMFan83]

I’m going to assume Nagy was calling plays when the Bears were doing bad and then Lazor took over and the offense started to move the ball

[BigSlick]

This is the first time in my entire life I've felt like the really liberal use of 'roughing the passer' has ever benefited the Bears in a tangible way

 

Jesus, Fields is taking a beating

[UMFan83]

First career passing TD for Fields!!

[BigSlick]

FIELDS. YES. FIRST THROWING TD.

[WrigleyField 22]

All these massive TE on the roster and it's Jesper on the goal line. :lol:

[BigSlick]

The tackling by the Bears D in this game is....not so good

[BigSlick]

GOOD STOP. YES

 

ok the refs need to cool it with the flags. enough already let them play the game

[BigSlick]

After a really scary and bleak start the Bears offense is looking.....competent?

 

Oh god damnit, dont let this be a serious injury. This is a very physical game
