Week 9: Bears @ Bengals noon on CBS

[We Got The Whole 9]

Johnson you sly dog

[Geographyhater8888]

Bears now have more players with pass attempts than rush attempts.

[Wilson A2000]

Run the freaking ball!

[Tryptamine]

Caleb's thought wasn't bad, but the Oline man made him cut back towards the defense. The olineman stays the hell out of the way, Caleb gets that first.

[Derwood]

I firmly believe that Caleb refusing to tuck and run is something that is being coached out of him. We know (from last year) that his instinct is to run before checking down, and now he's going out of his way to keep the play alive without running. That HAS to be coming down from the coaches

[BigSlick]

A FG there only is ominous. Coulda been a huge momentum swing and two score game.

He took a sack when he had Loveland wide open in the flat for a first in the first half. It’s not just the coaches

[Wilson A2000]

3rd and 16 is just way too easy

[Rex Buckingham]

You wanna know how bad the Bengals O-Line is? The Bears DL has 2 sacks 

[Tryptamine]

Zone defense on third and long, while 3 defenders watch the receiver camp the first down marker but don't leave their area.

Did not see the need for trick plays. Run the ball down their throat.

His inability to check down is a separate issue. To me, it seems like the coaches are explicitly telling him not to run unless all his options are covered (and he can't see who's open and who's not, which is, again, a separate issue)

Defense really especially collapsing

Playing well on 1st and 2nd down and then giving up a 30 yard completion is really the most back breaking thing 

[Tryptamine]

How is that not intentional grounding?

[BigSlick]

I’m 93% confident they’ll convert this 4th and 13

[BigSlick]

lol 

[Wilson A2000]

They got a Santos too

[We Got The Whole 9]

That kick was pathetic 

[Tryptamine]

Did Santos swap uniforms?

[Proven Veteran]

Looked like that kick hit a wall. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Run the ball, please

[BigSlick]

Bizarre to even attempt a field goal there to cut the lead to 4. As low percentage as it is, I think you have to at least attempt to convert.

football gods rightfully punished their cowardice 

[Tryptamine]

Odunze has been excellent blocking today, but what a damn no show on the other side. 2 drops including a TD.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Monengai is a dude 

[Wilson A2000]

In Monangai the new RB1?
