  1. So one pass beyond 10 yards before Atlanta went into prevent defense. Unbelievable.
  2. Lots of people knocked out of survivor pools last week taking New England at home and Houston over Jacksonville. Some crazy spreads for NFL games this week with 6 games at more than a TD.
  3. Their defense looked ridiculous yesterday, even without Donald in there. Of course, it was Scott Tolzien or whatever his name is.
  4. I thought the defense played great. The Hooper 88 yarder was unfortunate, but that's really the one play that hurt. They almost got to Ryan on that play. They almost got to him on the keeper that went for a first down. Ryan is just amazing in pressure situations. The receiver situation was about as bad as I assumed it would be. However, Glennon didn't look comfortable out there at all. I suppose a lot of it has to do with the fact he hasn't started an NFL game in a really long time and just needs reps back there in real game situations. Hopefully the prevent defense on the final drives helps his confidence and he starts being a little more trusting of his pocket protection. I'm just not even sad about Kevin White. On the field or off the field, he just doesn't appear to be a factor. I haven't been a big fan of Marcus Wheaton in his previous NFL experience, but I'm pretty sure he is better than Kevin White. And I'll go ahead and say he was better than Kevin White yesterday since he didn't drop a simple pass or get injured for the whole season.
  5. Damn all of you! These last few posts have me all excited about this season and I'm gonna sound like an idiot talking up my Bears before games start today. Truth be told, I am excited about this defense if they can get everyone healthy. Or at least most everyone since having everyone healthy is not a thing. I loved Fangio's defense in San Fran and that's what sold me on the shift to the 3-4. There are a lot of guys on this front 7 that can get penetration, which is just gonna make everyone else look better. The offensive line should provide great protection and create holes for the running game. I'm just worried that they stay too one dimensional on the ground, allowing the defense to stack the line. If the Bears can move the ball in the air, I think they have a good chance to win this game.
  6. The first 7 minutes of that game gave the impression of a Patriots blowout. Some crucial penalties, a couple of dropped passes and a huge 4th and 1 stop and the momentum swung hard KC's way and they never looked back. Alex Smith faked everyone out by stepping out of his ball control offense and went deep early and often. That game was fun. It was fun seeing the bewilderment on the faces of Patriots fans. It was almost as if the look on their faces said "who do we cheer for now, because this team sucks!".
  7. Loggains is gonna throw the ball, don't worry. Sounds like Wheaton won't be ready to go this week. 3 wides will be White, Wright and ?? Thompson or Bellamy I guess. If Wheaton is out, is Tre McBride the only other active WR? Do you think Shaheen is 3rd or 4th on the depth chart behind Miller and Sims?
  8. Have you tried the M3? I tried one but it was a senior flex (or as they call it "M for mature" flex) and it felt like a buggy whip. I liked the way the club head set up. No. I haven't tried anything newer than the Rocketballz, and I didn't even buy the Rocketballz 3 wood new. I bought it from a friend who bought the M3. I'll try to hit his tomorrow. Now that I have a 3 iron that I can hit 220-230, I only even bother with my 3w once a round at the most.
  9. It's the one club in my bag I never know what to expect on contact. Mine is a RocketBallz 3 wood. With all Taylor Mades other than 60 and 64 degree Cleveland wedges, I try not to make my bag look like a complete mish mash, but I've yet to find a Taylor Made 3 wood that I feel comfortable with.
  10. The schedule makes it hard to expect this team to be good, but other than the receivers, I like this team quite a bit. I think Kendall Wright can create separation on short slant routes, but I honestly have no idea what to expect out of Kevin White, Marcus Wheaton, Deonte Thompson and Josh Bellamy. Cutler was able to move the ball with Bellamy, an unknown at the time Cam Meredith and a group of other unknowns, but now it's Glennon trying to find openings. I fully expect to see an Alex Smith ball control style offense where no ball is thrown more than 10 yards which is going to really hurt the chances of the running game being good. I really want to see this defense. I think they have a chance to be really good.
  11. If Glennon gets hurt against a top ranked defense, I think I'd rather see Sanchez out there than Trubisky getting his first NFL experience as the only other option on the roster.
  12. Deiondre Hall went on IR and John Jenkins was signed to replace him on the roster. In other moves, the Bears have signed wide receiver Tanner Gentry, tackle Brandon Greene, tackle Dieugot Joseph, nose tackle Rashaad Coward, linebacker Jonathan Anderson, linebacker John Timu, linebacker Isaiah Irving, safety DeAndre Houston-Carson and guard Cameron Lee to the practice squad. All were on the Bears roster this offseason except for Lee, who spent time with the Saints and Bengals.
  13. So Jeremy Langford got cut and Taquan Mizzell RB and Tre McBride were signed. Gentry passed through and made the practice squad. I would have thought Langford might have had some 7th round value at worst.
  14. I wonder if they could snag Dontrelle Inman from the Chargers. He seems like an odd man out at this point with Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, Travis Benjamin and Mike Williams likely ahead of him on the depth chart. He's a big target that played well in place of injured Keenan Allen last year. Other than Inman, seems like there isn't going to be a lot of talent in the receiver department available after today's cuts.
  15. Week 3 throwbacks against Pittsburgh probably means those hideous prison bumble bee uniforms for Pitt. Ughh!
  16. I'd like to see Gentry and Davis get more looks with Trubisky on the field Thursday, because other than Kendall Wright in the slot, I'm currently sad about the receiver situation. Other than that, running game looks good, front seven looks outrageous, OLine looks rock solid and if they can get Glennon to avoid turning the ball over, a little Alex Smith ball control offense might make some of those teams we play in the first few weeks nervous about winning. We are probably a year away from being in the discussion, but it should be a fun year to watch this team develop.
  17. If they can't just postpone it, at least make it long enough that Grienke can't go anymore.
  18. I have the sound off. Is the wind howling out or is Quintana just serving them up on a platter?
  19. Yeah, I'm getting tired of watching this stupid Brewers/Cards game. What's the ETA?
  20. I will be at today's game and I will yell very loudly from my kick ass seat that they must stop this losing crap and make everyone happy. I will fix it.
  21. San Fran has a big smile on their face today. I hope Trubisky is the guy. Shouldn't take him long to jump ahead of Bob Avellini and Bobby Joe Douglas among the Bears career passing leaders. LOL.
  22. 193 pitches and they could only muster 5 runs. Bummer.
  23. That Mercer cat is HORRIBLE in the field. My goodness. My favorite play tonight is when he didn't even try to cover 2nd base on a grounder to 2nd in the first or second inning.
