like, from the snap or eventually as the play broke down? The way I heard it talked about on the radio, sounds like from the snap. I'll give him some slack since its his third week on the team, but between that and half the Bears secondary playing zone and the other playing man on the most critical play of last season, this team is pretty stupid.

Hey we're not the only bad ones, there are a lot of us on Sundays. That's the fun of this thread though, we bitch and moan and make irrational statements, then we all calm down and post normally until the next game starts.

Looks like the Big Ten is still alive for a playoff spot! Oh, and I'm looking forward to more of Derwood's contributions to this thread.

Yeah that's never good.

So that's not good. [expletive]

yeah its on at 2 this year, but apparently they will replay in its entirety at 5 each week

So why does actually seeing the hit all the sudden change things? Did we not already know he knocked her out coldly and dragged her out of an elevator? To me he should have been cut back in the spring when this all came out and he admitted to knocking her out.

At first glance: Terrible game for the WRs (Holmes was the 4rd lowest rated WR out of 124 that played yesterday) and DBs, great game for the Offensive Line. Also, Forte with a -1.3? Must have been a terrible blocker yesterday...

Supposedly Briggs and Bostic both received +1.6 ratings yesterday from PFF

They would almost certainly open at home on that Sunday night and then move the Cubs Monday game to the off day Tuesday. They've done 1 game series on Sunday night in the past.

The whole schedule is out now, but I haven't seen any broken down by individual teams http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/schedule/?partnerId=as_mlb_20140908_31228416&tcid=mm_mlb_schedule#date=10/04/2015 Cubs end in Milwaukee Fri 10/2 - Sun 10/4

Supposedly coming out any minute now. What we know so far:

San Francisco didn't do anything yesterday apart from what Tony Romo gifted them. I wasn't impressed. I'm not really panicking on the Bears, but really, the same thing could be said of the Bears....Buffalo didn't do anything yesterday other than what the Bears gifted them. Wouldn't that be a good thing (relatively speaking) and a point in US's favor, then? If the Bears had to gift-wrap it to lose by 3, that's a lot better than them playing as well as they should and losing. Same goes the other way for what US is saying (although jersey is right that they didn't HAVE to do anymore). For me its that there was a continuation of the Bears habit of shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly the last 2 years. All my evidence is anecdotal, so I'd be willing to change my view on this but it sure seems like an increase over the Lovie regime. By this I'm referring to bad penalties at inopportune times (yesterday Marshall gets a 15 yarder tacked on to the post interception), turnovers while the Bears are driving or in scoring range (happened twice yesterday), breakdowns in critical situations (Conte in week 17), boneheaded mental errors (Bears standing around with a live ball that was picked up by the Packers for a critical TD), and questionable coaching decisions (Trestman opting for that long FG in Minnesota instead of getting closer and losing the game). Again, I know Lovie's Bears had their share of these, and every team does, but it seems like there are more with this squad....or maybe its more noticable because they are losing more because of them. Anyways, with a really tough schedule, the Bears needed to win this. It's great that they probably have better performances in them, but they also have superior opponents coming up.

All of which is fairly meaningless unless your point is that flying out west makes for a tough game, which I can buy. Only one of those games is even slightly relevant otherwise. Stuff like this is one of my biggest sports-related pet peeves. Which is why I said "just for fun" and not "relevant statistic for next weeks game". But yeah the west coast thing might be relevant.

I still have no idea how Briggs managed to avoid serious charges and a suspension after that incident.

Um...not really all that boggling. He was hurt almost the entire preseason. I interpreted the statement as to why he had to settle for a back-up role instead of signing with a team where he would have been the starter. Right...the Bears signed him fairly late in the FA process as a backup/possible challenge for Garza. Doesn't seem like he had many other offers, and if he did it was for roster depth on other teams.

Briggs is probably going to be the latest Chicago sports guy to be run out of town by a lynch mob. This is the kind of news that never would have made the light of day if the pitchforks weren't already out. That said, he appears done as a football player.

The PFF quick summary is out at least: Definitely surprises me that Houston was graded so highly for pass rushing. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/09/08/refo-bills-bears-week-1/

Just for fun...the scores of the last 8 games the Bears have played at SF 32-7 10-6 49-7 17-0 44-15 (1994 Divisional Playoffs) 52-14 26-0 41-0 Average score: 34-6

I think it usually comes out around midday, and Reddit will post shortly after. I'm eagerly anticipating them too.
