Herbert looks better than Monty. At least we got a TD on that drive. Santos needs to get his act together, we better not lose by 1. 19-10 Bears!

Holy shit Eddie Jackson is back!!! Huge INT!!!!!

It may not have been on purpose, but it is almost like they ran a completely different playbook in the first half, and SF made no adjustments (no need to). If that was on purpose, they are playing chess to SF's checkers. Now the conditioning kicks in. Close this out.

Holy shit, Fields to St. Brown on play action for the TD.

Yep, and outside of Jackson, the other 10 are all tackling and going to the ground with the offensive player. Roquan seems to be heating up with some hard tackles.

Huge 3 and out for the defense after the Bears TD. Now the offense needs a sustained drive for a score. At some point that preseason conditioning should kick in. Which team has better conditioning. The Rams rested their starters all preseason and looked gassed by the 4th.

I am surprised we have not seen Mooney or Kmet yet.

FINALLY, broken play, Fields to Pettis for 51 yards for a TD!

Mitchell with knee injury and is out the rest of the game.

Bears need some jet sweeps. I haven't seen much play action either.

Seems to be because of the field position. 3 drives started inside the 15: 2 yard line, 7 yard line, 12 yard line They can't do anything risky there.

SF breaks thru on the ground, Deebo scores, running over Jackson. Jackson -2 7-0 SF SF average starting LOS has been their 40. Bears have been their own 10. That has to change.

QB's so far: Fields 2-5, 14 yds, 1 INT Lance 2-4, 37 yds

Patrick in for Jenkins at RG, Braxton Jones allows a sack against Bosa, Bears punt.

Dominque Robinson with a huge one arm sack!

Fields with INT, turnovers +0

Huge takeaway by the defense! Jaylon Johnson with the Peanut Punch, Brisker's hit completes the fumble and recovery! Turnovers +1

Bears first drive, 3 and out, conditions are crappy. O-Line got burnt on 3rd Down allowing a sack. SF starts out with 2 Jet Sweeps and a QB sneak.

Kittle out, Ward on IR, 3 inexperienced interior linemen blocking for basically a rookie QB that has played 2 games of football in the last 2 years in Lance. Bears by 11, 27-16 Bears get 5 scoring drives, 2 off turnovers and short fields, 3 TDs and 2 FGs 49ers get 4 scoring drives, 3 FGs, 1 TD

GAME DAY, LET'S GO! Looks like now Kittle is out. Ward (S) on IR, 3 new interior linemen, Lance starting at QB. This is not the same 49ers team from last year.

Update: Questionable.

Curious to see the corresponding move.

BTW:

In that game, Muhammad had 1 sack, 2 QB Hits, and a forced fumble. Adams played too. The Bears defense looks very comparable to the Colts defense from last year. We may need to start comparing this defense with that defense instead of the Bears 22 vs Bears 21. Probably Bears 22 vs Colts 21, at least on the defensive side may be a better comparison. The Colts were 1st in TO Margin, 7th in Defensive Scoring, and 18th in yards last year. The Bears were 29th in TO Margin, 24th in pts and 20th in yards on defense. The Colts were +14, the Bears were -13. Even if the team just got to +0, that would be a 12 spot jump and probably equate to one or two wins right there.

Deebo killed the Bears last year on 2 plays. Kittle didn't even play.
