I counted 22 plays tonight that were a 1 yard gain or loss of yards. That’s runs, sacks and pass completions. Doesn’t include penalties or incompletions.
That seems like a lot of wasted plays that hurt drives. Not sure why there are so many runs that go nowhere or short passes that get blown up right at the line of scrimmage but in a close game where the offense isn’t scoring a ton, that’s killer. Waldron has his work cut out for him.
I saw the Bears had 15 first downs today and thought “ok that’s decent at least” but then I realized that 1/3 of those first downs (5) were via penalty 😂.
Dude, first of all i believe I said that sometime in the 2nd quarter. Second of all I’ve been right there with you criticizing the production and overall performance of the offense. That doesn’t mean you can’t see glimpses of what the offense is supposed to look like and flashes of the talent looking talented. There is a lot to clean up and things feel a lot worse after that 2nd half but when Caleb was 8-9 or whatever he was and was in a groove hitting receivers on time you could get a glimpse of what they’re trying to do.
Buzz off, there were flashes early on when I said that. When he had time to throw in rhythm early in the game he was moving the ball and made good throws and decisions. That obviously didn’t continue and the second half was pretty bad. Of course this didn’t help either
Oh yeah forgot about that one lol. Yeah. 2 catches for 17 yards so far this season and one of those was a pass that was not intended for him and deflected 10 feet in the air to him
I literally completely forgot Odunze was in this game until you said that. I know he’s hurt so I don’t necessarily mean that as a dig but just haven’t seen or heard from him at all most of the game.
Unless You count a FG drive where the Bears started with the ball at the titans 25, the offense has produced 16 points in 7 quarters. Rough.
Again, I see the flashes which are promising, but the production is just not there right now.
Gotta give Eberflus credit for defensive adjustments. I can’t analyze football well enough in realtime to tell you what he’s doing that’s working but it’s working.
Feels like it would be an INT if they called it on the field but I feel pretty certain it won’t be overturned. I don’t hate this particular challenge though because it’s such a pivotal play, but it just makes the first challenge even more glaring
Also I really think Roschon should be active in the future. Neither Swift or Herbert are power backs. I’m fine with passing on 3rd and 1.5, but it didn’t feel like running the ball was even an option based on all the issues we’ve had running the ball in short yardage situations.
We just can’t stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
my take away from this game so far is that I see the potential of this team. I think it can be good….but we’re not there yet. Things just feel off. Very disjointed. But the flashes are promising.
he looked so confident making that throw that I assumed someone was wide open, but instead it was picked off (but bailed out by the flag). I’d really like to know what was going through his head/what he saw when he threw that
