Think about everything they had to overcome. Down 16 in the 4th quarter, they had TWO TDs overturned and both resulted in a loss of possession. They made a QB switch mid game, they didn’t get the 2 point conversion that would have made it a 1 possession game. They lost their backup RB and punt returner to a devistating injury. The refs seemed to be way more willing to call penalties on the bears. I rip on Nagy for a lot, and I still will, but keeping his team poised and focused despite all that is a reflection on him Wins are always good, regardless of the opponents. But the3wins are against teams that are currently 0-8 and most 0-9 by the end of the day. Those three teams probably picking in the Top 5 of the draft. You're referring to the Packers, right?

Why does game day say "injury delay"? -
Conspiracy theory, Ross has just been hiding KB to toy with the league
-
nah, just rename the thread. what a glorious magnificant batflip, and the fact it led to Renteria to lose his horsefeathers (after the HBP) makes it even better AND THEN Wilson hits is second! great game

since 2015, the Cubs offense has always seemed to be a bit streaky. facing dominate pitching was one explanation (2015 NLCS vs Mets) but not always leading to poor results (2016 NLCS vs Dodgers). Hopefully late in this season, it can be explained simply as bad luck and their luck changes when they start the playoffs

true, but why play down to your competition. play your best guys, so far it looks like Riley Ridley isn't one of them
-
why? he cant seem to get on the field against any other team

subsequent to your post, I had to google that and understand that for 40 some years, my partial hearing loss due to childhood trauma has led me to misunderstand that phrase. thank you

I lived in southern California back in the early '90's and worked for the Pasadena park dist. Doing so, I actually met Deacon Jones which was enough of a thrill. He was great to chat with, and when he found out I was a Bears fan, he really had one thing to say. It was something like: "Gale Sayers. OOF. Trying to tackle him was like trying to tackle a ghost. I would come through the line, have him one-on-one dead to rights and before I knew it, I was on the ground and he was 20 yards down the field" I always remember Deacon Jones calling Gale Sayers "..a ghost". RIP Gale.

RIZZO!!!!! CUBS ARE ALIVE

This feels like looking for a story to me. Nobody thought Kmet was a plug and play TE. He was never going to make an immediate impact. They targeted Jimmy Graham (who flailed badly twice) early. Trevathan is not playing as much because he hasn't been good. Cohen is doing the role expected of him. He's not a go to run the clock guy. Montgomery did a great job with that anyway. Cohen is a gimmick guy you hope has a couple explosive plays during the game, or somebody you might take a chance on late in the game, not the guy you feed in the 4th with a lead. pretty much it, although I dont agree with Nagy's game plan (run the clock out) I do think they executed it for the most part fairly well. The drops raw mentioned hurt...hopefully they are symptomatic of a compressed preseason and work themselves out

Week 2: NY Giants @ Chicago BEARS Home Opener

Completely agree. I was flummoxd when the offseason ended with no #2 RB. Cohen is a 3rd down back at best. Patterson would be an emergency RB like in NE, and trick play guy. Still if Montgomery sprains an ankle there is no RB unless you count Nall. Maybe he can do it, but he hasn't yet and never plays. Nall was in on a few plays on Sunday fwiw eta: I'd like to see Nall get the ball more. he's big and doesn't totally lack speed, ran a 4.58 40. -
3-0 would be fantastic. a 300 + yrd, 3 TD game by Turduckgoosky would be a nice add to the 3-0 start

Week 2: NY Giants @ Chicago BEARS Home Opener

Yeah the defense seems to be taking a lot of heat for almost losing. By all measurements that was a good defensive game, that would look even better if not for the bogus call on the Jackson called back pick 6. And they do have some age on D but also have young talent at every position. Added a ton of youth at CB the last 2 offseasons. Fuller is the "old" guy but he's playing the best he ever has thru 2 games. Jackson is young, Smith is young. The DL guys getting most of the snaps outside of Hicks are young. The OLB starters are old (if you consider Mack old at 29), but with young depth. I think Pace is at least aware that he can't count on an elite defense forever. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk I thought they said on the broadcast that they had the oldest D in the league. Did I hear that wrong? I don't know how that can be with Johnson, Jackson, Smith and Nichols starting.
