Lee is going to stay hot for the rest of the season and Hendry is going to give him a 3 year 30 mil deal isnt he? -
lol DLee decided to finally get hot in mid-August. Good news is he'll be hot for the playoffs... Oh wait.

The '85 Bears went 1-3 in the preseason.
-
Just wanted to point out for those that are actually worried based on this game, that the 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason that year. Please do me a favor and do not take any stock in this. Do you people flip out when a Cubs starting pitcher gives up 4-5 runs in 3 innings in a Spring Training game? No because they aren't in season form yet, they aren't necessarily running plays that they will use in the same situation in the regular season. A lot of the time the players themselves are experimenting with different things to see if something works better (much like how in baseball a pitcher will work on, lets say, his breaking pitches during an outing and might get lit up as a result). And the most important thing, for those assured of their role, the intensity is much less than 100%.

I'm not gonna lie the team hasn't looked very good at all tonight. That said, I don't put any stock in preseason. I was just hoping for something to entertain me for a few hours.

The Chargers have been killing the Bears D, 1st team through now with passes right over the middle.
-
I missed it...did he call a timeout and then after the timeout challenge the play?
-
Nice job Devin A. 2 catches in the red zone, one for a TD. Haine was up and down that drive. He looked very meh on a couple of plays, but showed good scrambling ability and good vision on others. The O-line was pretty bad on that drive. Here are the Bears running plays so far today: 1-10 Bears 30: Forte to right end for 1 yard. 1-10 Chargers 37: Forte to the right end for 2 yards. 2-8 Chargers 35: Forte up the middle for 2 yards. 1-10 Chargers 19: Forte up the middle for 2 yards. 2-20 Bears 37: Taylor up the middle for 7 yards. 1-10 Chargers 41: Taylor up the middle for -2 yards. 2-12 Chargers 43: Taylor up the middle for 1 yard. 1-10 Chargers 30: Taylor up the middle for 2 yards. 1-10 Chargers 18: Taylor to the left end for 2 yards. 1-7 Chargers 7: Taylor to the right for 0 yards. So 10 running plays, 9 of them for 2 yards or less, 1 was for 7 yards that was largely made by Taylor changing direction and making a nice juke move. Overall 10 rushes for 17 yards. Awful.
-
Nice boot Gould. Hit a 52 yard FG but it was called back because of a penalty on San Diego. I don't see any improvement on the run blocking from the O-line so far. These guys have nowhere to run.
-
It would make sense if he was hurt. Considering we have heard the Bears offense needs lots of repetition for the Martz offense to work in Week 1, 1 series is not enough (and Forte, Olsen and Kreutz also only played 1 series).
-
Definitely some breakdowns in the secondary on that TD drive.
-
Craig Steltz is injured. That would suck. Edit: Went to the locker room and is out for the game.
-
First drive: Cutler: A Forte: D O-line: B-/C+ Knox: A Didn't really get a decent look at everyone else (Hester, Olsen, Clark)
-
I feel like Forte dances too much at the line. I see him go through a hole on the o-line and theres just not enough burst. So far I think he has three 2 yard runs, and another 1 yard run. Edit: And now he just blew a block that led to Cutler getting sacked.
-
Knox is gonna be a fricken stud this year.
-
nice job getting open Knox!
-
There's the Forte I remember from last year. Runs directly into the line and gains a yard.
-
I believe I remember reading that it's blacked out in San Diego

The NFL Network but not until tomorrow. Also goto this site and see if the stream works: http://atdhe.net/

How much do we love our Bears in Chicago? There is an hour long pregame show for a preseason game. Do we need a game thread for this like we've done in the past for preseason games, or should we just keep everything in here until the season starts.
-
The Cubs have the same record (48-68) through 116 games as they had in 2006.
-
Cubs now on pace for a 67-95 season. Getting close to 2006 territory. 2-14 stretch....ouch.

Re: Five best and worst MLB broadcasting teams
UMFan83 replied to Formerly Snayke's topic in General Baseball Talk
In the 1st inning yesterday of the Twins and White Sox game, the score was tied 1-1 and the Sox had the bases loaded and 2 outs. Whoever it was hit a ball to deep center and this was Hawks call: "that ball hit DEEP! WAAAAAY back. C'MON STRETCH! AW DAW GAMMUT! Sox leave them loaded. GAH!....AGGGGH................It's 1-1..." (commercial break) I can't really express what noises he was making with "GAH" and "AGGGH". They were completely Santoesque involuntary sounds of dejection. -
My malware thing said it was a picture of Kane and Kodos

Wow I had no idea that ARod and Braun were both sub-.800 OPS hitters this year. (but barely). Actually its funny that despite an OPS of .799, ARod is on pace for 26 HRs and 132 RBIs.
