Chicago Bears preseason

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm about halfway through. Wow they are not even a little worried about jinxing Williams.

[Brian707]

Pretty decent episode Flus seems like a good dude. Thought we would get too much Kevin Warren but maybe that's a later episode.  When was Kmet at the Cubs game? That seems like it was a long time ago

So glad we got the views of the Eberflus women on Bagent’s long hair. That’s important info headed into the season. 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was cool. I'm not usually super into the "here's what they're like as people" stuff, but I am so beyond hyped for this team that I'll take every scrap.

Was there really a question? I can understand not playing the HOF game, most people don’t play in that, but a rookie starting QB is almost certainly getting at least a series or two in the first real preseason game

There's been talk of sitting him bc of the OL injuries and he gave an indefinite answer today when asked directly.

[Derwood]

Not shocked that the first Hard Knocks was very Caleb-centric.

I expect more rookie stuff in future episodes.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Poles could have done a lot more to address the trenches over the last 2 FA. I have modest confidence in the OL and it can go awry quickly. 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I've sunk to the depths of degeneracy that I watched a 35 minute video about the QB3 in the fake preseason game 

 

Takeaways:

1) this guy desperate needs an editor. That was 12 minutes worth of content that he tripled in length by repeating himself over and over and over 

 

2) I don't think Rypien is any worse than Bagent, for whatever that's worth.  Or at least the Bagent we saw last year, I'm still curious to see if he's improved

I literally asked my Bears group chat who JT O'Sullivan could have possibly wasted time making a Brett Rypien preseason film analysis video for.

 

Asked and answered lol

Same. I thought it was interesting. I don't think it makes Flus look any better as a coach.

Bearded Flus > clean shaven Flus 

start printing those Super Bowl tickets

[Derwood]

What's good for the Bears (drama free camp, hard work, etc) is bad for Hard Knocks. We, as Bears fans, will enjoy the show because its about our team. I'm going to guess that we will hear complaints of it being "boring" by the more casual HK fans if the show continues like episode 1.

[jersey cubs fan]

Flus being afraid to be near a man in underwear is my biggest takeaway 

 

“I’m not going down there until he’s dressed”

I am sure the McCaskey's are trying their best to lock as much down as possible.

You follow someone around for a week filming them, you can tell any story you want about them with some editing and the right musical stings

Sure, but it looks like some of the possible storylines that might have been "juicy" just kinda weren't.

- "Cocky and confident rookie QB comes to camp...how will he handle the pressure?" - He's really coachable and everyone seems to like him

- "Ryan Poles needs to figure out how to extend some of his other offensive stars" - He signs DJ Moore quickly and with little controversy

- "Exciting position battles at the first preseason game!!" - No one of consequence plays and the game is rained out

PRODUCER: "We only have 22 minutes of show here.....we didn't throw away that haircut footage, did we?"

[jersey cubs fan]

Isn’t hard knocks always about 3rd string guys getting cut? They got the guy who sang in his underwear get injured in game 1. They set up the undrafted rookie qb and the WRs who won’t make the team. There’s not that much filmable conflict in any NFL building. 

[jersey cubs fan]

They also set up the Eberflus girls ogling the backup QBs hair, so we could get a will they won’t they coach’s daughter thing happening 

[jersey cubs fan]

Caleb and other available starters will play Saturday 

 

guess this was reported earlier but missed it for hard knocks talk

i'm rather surprised Halas Hall has a haberdashery

[We Got The Whole 9]

Sweat and Billings weren't even on the field and the OL was apparently getting abused constantly yesterday. That's concerning.
