Bears week 4: At Giants Sunday at noon on Fox

[Tryptamine]

Not getting Daboll is going to haunt this franchise for years

[Derwood]

Backside contain, what is it?

 

They're selling out on stopping the run, and then the tight end is drawing away the one backside defender. Rinse and repeat

[Soul]

I was told that running bootlegs all game doesn’t work

When the D isn't gonna defend it...

Even if they adjust to the bootleg they can’t stop Barkley. Checkmate.

So instead of driving for a 9-7 or 13-7 lead we’re down 14-6. Gotta love it

I mean obviously Barkley is good enough to beat the Bears, but Jones is walking into the endzone untouched.

Let’s not argue, and let the misery just wash over us.

Fields looking pretty rough in the passing game these last couple of throws

[UMFan83]

Giants players are dropping like flies. Kind of crazy

[Soul]

.1 second earlier throw and that’s a TD.

[Derwood]

1 yard pass on a 3rd and 15. Just wave the white flag already

[UMFan83]

Cut santos

Considering fields has been under pressure on every deep drop back I don’t mind a screen there. A sack takes you out of FG range and Fields is starting to get into that deer in headlights mode.

[Tryptamine]

Why call a timeout?

[raw]

I can't even blame them for the short passes. The OL isn't going to hold up on 3rd and long. Take the points. Now 2nd and long runs up the middle......

Yea, and with the success and frequency which the Giants have brought pressure. I'm okay there. More frustrated they didnt do much the first 6 plays.

[Tryptamine]

Another to, wtf are they doing?

[UMFan83]

Why are the Bears taking TOs with 48 secs left? Im really confused based on what we’ve seen from them this year

[WrigleyField 22]

Another to, wtf are they doing?

Trying to get the ball back with time.

[UMFan83]

Another to, wtf are they doing?

 

Last week they had 3 TOs in a minute left and gave up. Now they’ll have 36 seconds and 0 time outs in a similar situation. This makes no sense to me at all

If they're actually gonna try for it, that's the right strategy.

[UMFan83]

Fields has now scrambled or been sacked on 11 of 22 dropbacks

Completely agree but given their general strategy and similar situations last week it seemed unlikely they would. Plus the Giants have been moving the ball well, if they don’t get a stop there they have 44 sec and 2 TO left near FG range

[WrigleyField 22]

Well they wanted to try something, but the line (and Martindale blitzes) aren't allowing for much today.

 

Eventually they gotta make them pay for being blitz heavy. He's connected in some deep ones. There's gotta be a weakness Getsy can find to exploit.

 

Bears have done a decent job with 2nd half adjustment this year. Big ones needed on both sides.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Line has been terrible in pass protection by JF is holding onto the ball way too long and taking off and running way too often.
