Bears Preseason 2025

[bukie]

Hey the first preseason game started. No Caleb Williams, but opening drive with Bagent was a 3 and out with a sack and a short completion to Loveland.

 

Nothing means anything, and I'm just hoping nobody gets injured.

Bears in midseason form 😂

[bukie]

Early goal line stand against Miamis #1 offense early on, though they gave up chunks of yards each play until they got inside the 5.

[bukie]

Rookie LB Hippolite with a couple solid plays in the 1st.

Josh Blackwell whiffed on a couple tackles early, getting abused a bit by Miamis offense early on.

[Tryptamine]

Nice throw Zach Wilson, the hell was that?

[Tryptamine]

First impressions

Monongai is not fast, runs a bit upright, but has pretty good vision. 

Luther Burden is significantly better than his competition today. 

[Soul]

That was a great throw and catch

[bukie]

Always nice when one play makes the QB, WR and HC look good.

[Tryptamine]

I'm kind of surprised to see Bagent's arm doesn't really seem to have made any gains. If he could just get his arm to average he'd probably have a decade+ long career.

[bukie]

Yikes, another poor coverage by Blackwell followed by yet another whiff on the tackle after the catch.

[Tryptamine]

Secondary sure isn't showing much so far.

[Tryptamine]

Man this defense has been kind of hot garbage. The run defense had been pretty good up until that. 

[Tryptamine]

I honestly believe there are guys who post on this forum who might be able to throw harder than Bagent. Good god man.

[bukie]

Terrell Smith makes the one good play by the secondary in the first half. Unfortunately, he can't catch or it would have been tied.

[SpongeWorthy]

cairo had plenty on that

[bukie]

Honestly, the offense getting a FG at the half after the Dolphins had a first down at the Bears 40 with 20 seconds left is the most impressive thing that has happened this game.

as opposed to just surrendering a ~12 yard out on the second to last play of the game to the commanders so they could get a hail mary to the end zone on the next play...

TD catch was a big league play.  Agree though.  Kind of blah.  Not liking the defense so far.  Better pressure as the half wore on.

Outside of the TD run, I think the DLine has been pretty good. The secondary has sucked hard.

No starters in, preseason, it all means nothing but Loveland looks smaller and slower than I thought he would. Sewells ff was good

[Soul]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Keenum is the #2 just because of his experience in the NFL.

I felt the same about Loveland but it was only a few plays .

[bukie]

Defense looks better so far in the 2nd half, but the Miami offense is a step lower.

Quinn Ewers with a bit of a rough start, 0-4 with a lost sack fumble.
