  1. Despite the near constant cynicism of the game thread crowd, the Cubs have won 6 of 7 and cut the division deficit near in half in a week.
  2. Let's go Cubs, 2 more runs and it's the highest total for the day.
  3. Go home, Horizon League, you're drunk.
  4. Before anyone reads too much into today's result, keep in mind the Bears throttled the Bills in preseason last year also, 33-6.
  5. Took a shot on the 2nd half kickoff return. Didn't seem too concerning, just out because it's preseason.
  6. Never a good sign when you do a jump stop on grass and one of your legs doesn't stop.
  7. 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.
  8. 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...
  9. If Bagent didn't have the throwing arm of my 7yo, he'd be a really viable starting qb option.
  10. Caleb Williams final stats, 6 for 10, 107 yards and a TD throw with 2 3rd down conversi9ns and a 3rd that Odunze couldn't hang on to. Other incompletions were a purposeful throw at receivers feet from a sniffed out screen, a knee high 20 yard throw to avoid a sack, and one slightly behind the receiver on the first play of the 2nd series. Overall, wildly successful.
  11. It is, but someone has to call for it. There was some confusion between that and the Bills challenging the catch.
  12. Every team in the NFL is going to go for it on 4th and 2 from the opposing 35. Announcers acting like it was some bold call. The two reviews were done out of order. Should've done the challenge first, then the potential measurement. Seemed like there was some confusion there
  13. Bagent in now for the 3rd drive. 2nd throw was a duck snort that barely went 13 yards.
  14. 3rd and 5, Caleb recognizes the blitz, finds the open receiver for a first down.
  15. Well that was about the most positive offensive drive possible to start things off. Preseason stats are meaningless, but I'd rather see a meaningless positive for Caleb than the opposite.
  16. Classic Derwood "I don't understand any of this so I'm going to make things up to comment about" take, there.
  17. Counterpoint: this tax is good, sports betting is bad for sport while at the same point making truckloads leeching money from many that shouldn't be betting, and anything that can help curb that predatory behavior while also getting money back into the public system is a win.
  18. Defense looks better so far in the 2nd half, but the Miami offense is a step lower. Quinn Ewers with a bit of a rough start, 0-4 with a lost sack fumble.
  19. Honestly, the offense getting a FG at the half after the Dolphins had a first down at the Bears 40 with 20 seconds left is the most impressive thing that has happened this game.
