  1. Why is our kick returner really slow
  2. YOU CANT RUN IT ON 3RD AND SIX. YOURE NOT ALLOWED. I DONT CARE HOW MUCH FIELDS SUCKS TODAY
  3. I just hope the Bears don’t embarrass me today. Let Justin Fields cook.
  4. Punished Lovie Just need to get him an eye-patch
  5. Listen, I don't know if it would have made sense to have Lovie Smith continue on as head coach, but in retrospect its wild how we fired him after a 10-6 season where we narrowly missed the playoffs on some real fluke tie-breakers and a competitive field. Did we make a mistake? I have no idea. Lovie had some real blindspots as a coach, but his teams were always well-coached, disciplined, always had great defenses. I don't think we ever would have developed a great offense or QB under him. But we did make a Super Bowl and his tenure has been the sole bright spot since Ditka. Weird times. So I hope he gets cheers.
  6. you have now spoken this into existence (i'd be ok with this outcome if there are no INTs honestly)
  7. Do we think Eberflus and Poles are that motivated to make sure to win 7 games rather than 5? This isn't the end of the Matt Nagy era where he felt desperate to keep his job, these guys have at least this year to develop people. They aren't getting fired if they bottom out this year.
  8. Wow, shocked to see Blackson so poorly rated - saw him make penetration on a few plays (and get held a few times) and thought that spoke well to his performance but clearly not
  9. I don’t know if it’s eternal Bears brain on my end but uh…we have two games of information from Fields in his second year. A lot of it is ugly, but not all of it. Game 1, in bizarre conditions, was not an unqualified disaster, in fact I’d say it was on the whole positive. Game 2 was pretty bad. The most concerning thing for me is he’s still not feeling pressure and reacting properly to it. Holding the ball too long, scrambling to the wrong area, taking unnecessary sacks. The Line is awful in pass pro and I suspect the receivers aren’t getting enough separation. But it can’t be this bad, he’s gotta get the ball out faster or leave the pocket faster. I hope the Bears coaching staff lets him run on offense like a professional QB, warts and all. If it leads to blow outs, fine, we need the data. It’s a lost year regardless.
  10. Yeah really not interested in doing a JFK bullet analysis of the challenge on the goal line. A bad play call, a probable TD, but not a call the refs will overturn without incontrovertible evidence, which wasn’t there. I think even if the coaches are doubting Fields abilities, 9 attempts is way too few before we’re down 3 scores in the 4th. There were downs where they ran which were basically forfeiting the drive. Running on 2nd and 19? You can’t do that. You simply cannot. If Fields and the passblocking fails you in such circumstances, so be it. But you have to play modern football. You can’t surrender drives.
  11. It would be cool to play the packers when they don’t have a generational hall of fame quarterback sometime in my life I think the last time the bears played the packers and they didn’t have a hall of fame quarterback I was like 6 years old
  12. Definitely a touchdown but a terrible play call
  13. Ugh Too many broken plays, miscommunication. Shades of Nagy haunting us.
  14. If it’s that easy to run on the Bears this is gonna be a VERY ugly year
  15. Dang. Well I guess it’s a blow out game then. Really too bad the schedule gave us them in the first game on the road.
  16. Wow this game not only sucks but is boring in how closely it follows the script of a Bears Packers game. A hope-inducing early drive that is never followed up on. Some flashy plays on defense that can’t be sustained. A kick returner being really stupid and losing yards for no reason. Again, I’m asking you, be surprising. Don’t do the same game we’ve seen 20 times.
  17. Getting run on is bad. Not good.
  18. uhhhhhhhh very bad
  19. We need consistent offensive movement, can’t have these three and out nothing jobs in the NFL anymore. Especially against Rodgers. Game feels very familiar, I hope it becomes surprising.
  20. Haha that was pretty cool but very clearly past the line of scrimmage
  21. Damn, amazing job by the defense there. Let’s see a better drive here folks
  22. Fields…..you can’t do that buddy. Gotta feel that pressure and either move and or get rid of it sooner
  23. Blegh. Let’s see how Fields responds. I want some stops. I want Rodgers hammered.
  24. Absolutely don’t like how this game is being called already
  25. Fields! Yes! Montgomery finding holes as well. And honestly, defense is looking allriiiiiight so far. The sack was huge. Rodgers is finding first downs but it isn’t without a struggle.
