Just for fun, Trestman and Fox have combined to go 25-49 in 4.5 years. Lovie didn’t lose his 49th game until his 8th season (64-49). Not implying really anything, just pointing out how incredibly bad we’ve been.
I think a reason for that is him learning how to take the snap under center and drop back and plant his feet before throwing. He’s used to shotgun 95% of the time and that’s a whole different rhythm to throwing. Once he gets more comfortable dropping back I think his accuracy goes up. You heard the announcers today point out several times which foot he was planting before throwing. That said I haven’t seen many perfectly placed throws (Though I might be remembering poorly) You’d hope to see more flashes of that.
Yeah Cohen shouldn’t be our returner anywhere. Terrible decision making and unable to find holes That decision cost the Bears 8 yards and 9 seconds on the clock
Ok somehow the Bears used no timeouts, burned 20 seconds off the clock and the Lions lost 8 yards. Too bad their FG kicker is good. Mitch is 0-3 at game tying winning drives in the last 2 minutes. Time for attempt 4. Fox will likely sabotage it by playing for the FG if the Bears get anywhere near FG range.
I mean geez. Hundley on the road during a short week has a “breakout game” against the Bears. This week? 18-30, 203 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT, Packers getting shut out
Our special teams suck. I rarely see them open any holes to run through and when they do our returners don’t make the right reads. We’ve had some pretty juicy potential returns today and seem to get nothing out of them.
It’s been like a week since the Bears have gotten any pressure at all on Stafford. I hope if the Bears lose they lose by 7 or less so we can win the trifecta for games being decided on things that shouldn’t happen (reffing blunder, coaching blunder, snapping blunder)
The jersey tug and the Schwarber “look my legs work” in game 7 are my 2 favorite under the radar moments of the championship run Is it in this thread? If not, it didn’t happen. Actually, I was just looking for an excuse to link that thread. Think both of them are..I know for a fact the Schwarber one is in the top 10.
he also did the jersey tug thing when hendrix dominated CLE in WS last year and was leaving the game That tug was in Game 6 of the NLCS against the Dodgers. The jersey tug and the Schwarber “look my legs work” in game 7 are my 2 favorite under the radar moments of the championship run
This is a great study in fan bias (for both of us). You are right they called it incomplete on the field. They shouldn’t have. My eye and the (admittedly biased) screencaps shown on twitter suggest that his foot landed inbounds first. The overturned catch could have gone either way but the ball hit the ground and when it did it looked to me like the ball moved ever so slightly which I believe means no catch. Both very close plays that I don’t think either of us will be able to convince the other to change their mind about.
