    I'm wondering if we'll see an over-reaction by Nagy, will he be super aggressive, throwing deep on nearly every series? One thing's for certain, if we see the 2nd half offense of the GB game the fan hatred will start early.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Someone mentioned if he throws that pass it gets picked by Dix, don't know if that's a fact if Trubisky goes low on throw or high towards the back of the end zone.

    We saw this several times last season, in a similar vein wasn't there an earlier red zone possession in which Cohen was wide open on the right? Can't blame his inability to spot or throw to open receivers on the new-ness of the HC and OC.

    I think both sides have a fair point. QBs develop at different rates...not necessarily right to give up on him yes, but very fair to acknowledge that there are some red flags popping up. One point I forgot to mention was his confidence, they were touting it, sure as horsefeathers didn't look a confident player in the 2nd half. The work in progress is effective if we see improvement game to game.

    Caught a bit of the Score last night, one of the themes was Trubisky is a work in progress, ok. When will this rhetoric become tiresome? After game 8 or 9? Is asking too much to see something substantial from Trubiskly until then?
  6. gflore34
    horsefeathers this guy. I can't believe he had the balls to use that excuse. Isn't reps one of the express purposes of the preseason? I'm with you on this point, this sh*thead better straighten some things out come Monday night.
  7. gflore34
    Yeah, probably. It's what they've always done against the Bears. Really poorly coached game by the Bears. Trubisky started 7-7 for 104 yards. Was 16-28, 67 yards after. Take out the 2-7 for 18 yards on the final drive. Trubisky was 14-21 (still 67% completion), but for 49 yards. That's disgusting. Only 3 of those 21 passes were thrown more than 3 yards from the LOS. That was the norm with Fox, sure would like to see the end of this [expletive]. When it does end we'll see the Bears winning including kicking the Packers ass.

    not if that 2nd half defense becomes the norm. On two of the TD passes Packers lineman were nearly ripping the jersey of the Bears defenders, when the offensive line is allowed to hold like that all night don't know what you can do.
  9. gflore34
    Most Packer fans are dismissing the Bears, given recent history that's understandable. However, I've a feeling they're in for a big surprise, as bad as they think/want Trubisky to be he simply isn't. The Bears will probably make some mistakes but, they are going gash the Packer defense like something we've never seen before. Defensively, don't know how much we can expect from Mack and Smith, as mentioned above would be nice to see Smith on third downs. A few early run downs and hard hits on Rodgers when he scrambles might discourage him from doing so later in the game.

    The Cubs have had a winning record in every month, are 48-26 against sub-.500 teams, are on pace to win 95 games, and are 3 games up on every team in the NL. Yeah....if those are the flaws that lead to 'sending them home early'...who is this magical team of greatness who is going to take care of that job? Because by definition, it has to be a team that's played worse than them this year, at least until the World Series. Shortly after posting I thought maybe I'm expecting too much. Just annoyed by last and the previous night' game.
  11. gflore34
    This crap - underperforming, getting beat by inferior teams - has been going on all season, granted, its baseball and such things happen from time to time. But the opening series vs. Marlins, getting swept by the Reds, this shitty game and many more examples of poor play occurring more often than time to time, if it continues in the postseason. It could send them home early.
  12. gflore34
    Been thinking the Bears will lose this one, believe we'll see glimpses of what they're heading towards. I've feeling they'll make some mistakes that'll cost them game, from the Packers side not one of those ho-hum we beat the crappy Bears again. But, we won, I'll take it and if the Bears become more consistent our series dominance is over.
  13. gflore34
    Anyone else think the clock struck midnight on the Knights after Holtby made that unconscious save in Game 2? I certainly did, believe the Caps will finish it off Thursday night. Wouldn't be surprised if the Knights regress badly next season, could see them going from No. 1 seed to missing the playoffs ala the Blackhawks.
  14. gflore34
    I'll go with an A as well, it's been a long time since Bears' have gotten things correct regarding the offseason, so used to them screwing up, it's strange when it appears they know what they're doing.
  15. gflore34
    All the sweeter when you add the manner in which they were talking prior and during the bottom of ninth. Their do the players feel the same confidence we do that the Rockies are going to win this game BS. Or, during the inning break, Blackmon, Arenado, Story and more due up.
  16. gflore34
    Maybe not, just saying things have a way of coming back to bite you in the ass.
  17. gflore34
    so, is McD feeling sheepish after the Denver experience or is he hoping to take over in NE eventually? Perhaps he will end up with the NE Job but, karma's a bitch, wouldn't be surprised if the Colts, with their hire this year, are amongst the better AFC teams. And McDaniels ends up with one of the worse teams in the AFC, not completely unconceivable when one removes Brady, Gronkowski, amongst others from the NE roster.

    https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2018/02/06/doyel-josh-mcdaniels-selfish-little-jerk-but-did-colts-indy-favor/304619002/ I believe McDaniels did the Colts a favor, stings now but, it'll work for them in the long run. Glad the Bears did not attempt to hire McDaniels, don't look now but, Bears may have gotten something right with this new coaching staff.

    The Brewers can add all the Cain's and Yelich's they want - the Cubs still have Kris Bryant.
  20. gflore34
    They did, cannot put together two good halves, wasn't expecting much from them this season. Probably irrational on my part but, I get the feeling Big Ten teams beyond the upper tier better take advantage and beat them now while they can.
  21. gflore34
    All this talk of Charra' greatness reminds of 2010 and the talk of Pronger, apparently, Pronger was going to shut down the whole Hawks team by himself.
  22. gflore34
    Don't remember if was posted earlier but, apparently, Toews said something to extent of lets win this game 3-1 between the third and overtime.
  23. gflore34
    I agree, very good point, while the Kings are big and physical, they don't have a Datysuk or Zetterberg - far and away two of the best defensive forwards in hockey - to hound Toews all series. I look for him to bounce back and have a better series.
  24. gflore34
    Edit: BTW, I'll take it given how that particular Bears game ended Funny he doesn't remember Bernard Berrian getting jobbed by the same call a few years earlier at Ford Field and I believe the Bears did end up winning that game with the Johnson call.
  25. gflore34
    I agree. I don't really want to post this in the post victory afterglow, but i don't like our odds that much in this series. Especially hate that Games 1 and 2 are back to back, which I feel like increase the chances that the Kings steal at least 1 of the 2 games at the UC. I look for Toews, Kane and Hossa to have a better series than this one, while Kings are going to come out slugging, there's way to deal with that and take advantage of an over aggressive team.
