[UK]

It's good to see a QB rattled and not be Williams or Fields.

Like ‘85

Is it wrong I still worry about the Bears becoming too conservative?

[Rex Buckingham]

DA's defense is killing it

[Irrelevant Dude]

No Ditka tonight?  Not really surprising, but if he's not here for the 40th anniversary and on opening night of Monday Night Football, he must be in really poor health.

Offense is definitely a work in progress. Caleb makes some good throws but drives keep stalling out because we’re getting stuffed on a run and Caleb dumps to the flats once every set of downs. 
 

he needs to get to 200 passing yards

His yards/attempt is pretty not great

Ben’s just gifting the crowd with this challenge

[We Got The Whole 9]

Why is he challenging that, his knee was clearly down. Boy what a waste. 

[Rex Buckingham]

pretty sure he's not touched before Sewell punches the ball, and the announcers aren't even considering it

[Irrelevant Dude]

What are you challenging Ben?

[Tryptamine]

He's challenging it because he was never touched.

Maaaaybe, but the wouldn't the punch have to have been nothing but ball without touching any part of his body while the knee was down?

It's driving me crazy they do this for a living and have no idea

No because as long as the ball is moving after the initial hand to ball touch, it no longer matters that his knee is out even if it hand hits the ball loose then hits the players.

[Rex Buckingham]

that's just a bad call... he got all ball

[Irrelevant Dude]

What the hell was that guy talking about?  Of course punching the ball is not a foul.

[Tryptamine]

Not even the rules guy mentions that no one touched him before the ball was punched out. Seriously? You guys do this for a living?

[Rex Buckingham]

nice play by Stevenson

bad call, worse announcing

[Rex Buckingham]

rushing yards!

[minnesotacubsfan]

It seems like some plays aren’t moving fast enough. Williams really holds the ball

"He's done a good job of getting the ball out quicker" 

 

Actually takes a 3rd of a second longer than last year lol

[minnesotacubsfan]

I think we broke the Vikings guys

[Tryptamine]

Wright is not having a good night.

 

I take it back. That's nothing
