Bears Preseason 2025

Oh man look at that move after the catch by Burden

[Tryptamine]

I think Burden is your #1 WR when the 2026 season starts.

The Bears offense is doing things I see other NFL teams do regularly, getting open receivers, opening up rushing lanes, giving the QB time to go through reads. So, this is what an NFL offense looks like...

Seriously, these schemes are opening up so much separation. It's like being Green Bay when they play the Bears. 

[bukie]

The rare "2 WR in the same spot but both were open by 10 yards" play. I'm sure one of the WRs ran the wrong route, but it worked out anyway.

[Tryptamine]

Even if it's not with the Bears, I hope Wheeler ends up on an NFL roster. 

[UMFan83]

I barely listen to broadcast teams but Greg Olson’s competence shines through from the little I do listen to.

Terrell Smith just tore his ACL. You could see it immediately. Ugh

Secondary depth is very very light

[bukie]

Never a good sign when you do a jump stop on grass and one of your legs doesn't stop.

[Derwood]

The play design so so SO much better. Open receivers, who knew?

[Tryptamine]

Thank god that was a terrible throw, that CB got torched

[Wilson A2000]

Bagent has a noodle arm, but man he is placing the ball perfectly 

[NorthsideAvenger]

I like seeing the Bears look like a competent offense, but I am reminding myself this is still preseason. I really like for this offense to show up in the regular season. Please.

Some decent FA options still out there, I think... Unless they've recently signed: Asante Samuel, Stephon Gilmore, Rasul Douglas are all possibilities. No one who's going to be dynamic, but solid #2 or #3s

I’m not sure if this means anything, but the past few years the bears offense never showed up either in preseason or the regular season.

[cwood218]

Bills have 37 yards passing and 10 rushing.

Preseason, no Allen, but still.

Samuel retired in 2013 unless there is a new one, Gilmore has dead legs, spent a year in his past 4 stops cos he gets picked on. I see now Asante Samuel jr

Definitely Asante Jr...

Again, none of the options are going to be difference makers, just saying there's options to add depth at CB more so than most spots

[Tryptamine]

I feel like the secondary is going to end up being the primary focus of next year's draft

Lmao

[BigSlick]

Obviously this is the preseason and etc etc but the Bears have never looked this efficient in a game regular season or preseason maybe…ever? 
 

willing to let myself get a bit excited. If nothing else I have complete confidence Ben Johnson knows how to call a play.
