  1. Great pick by Jackson, now we need to capitalize on it and score a freaking TD.
  2. 3 and out? What the hell. No one is getting open and I have yet to see a quick slant. I am not a fan of these quick throws to Gabriel for 1 yard.
  3. Hopefully we can score a TD on the first drive of the 2nd half and make this a 4 pt game with a quarter and a half to play. The Cards are hopefully overconfident with their start, but technically haven't done anything since those two scores.
  4. The defense has finally showed up, but those two early TD's allowed are the difference. Trubisky is worse than Cutler right now, an INT and a fumble loss with no TD's. At least smoking Jay would have a TD by now.
  5. You would hope to see some improvement from Trubisky week in and week out. I just haven't seen it yet. To me, he looks no different than last year.
  6. Yeah, we had 6 chances from goal to go and only got a FG. On the incomplete pass to Robinson, we had 4 Receivers and only 3 defenders on the right side, but he never looked that way. So it has to be play calling.
  7. I am starting to think some of this is the play calling. Where are the slants and crossing routes? Two long passes basically uncatchable. I can't believe Bethea can keep up with Gabriel for 50 yards, what the hell. and we seem to be targeting Peterson, that won't end well either.
  8. The offense averages 16 pts a game, so this is already a loss.
  9. Seriously Trubisky, he is playing like shit. Now he fumbles with a little pressure on him, and now the defense lets in another easy TD. This team looks like a mess. Bradford tearing us up, down 14-0.
  10. What? He is on the sideline with his helmet and using tension bands?
  11. Wow, Miller hurt, probably out for a while with a shoulder, and offense now looks like hot garbage. Trubisky can't see a blitz on 3rd down, no hot route, no audible. Then Parkey caps it off with a missed FG. Perfect.
  12. WTF defense, Bradford just went 75 yards on us in 3 minutes without any resistance. Seriously, blown coverages all over the place.

    Sure, but as bad as he has been (an immobile) with Mack and Co. having another week to get in shape and prepare could be ugly for old Sammy.
  14. Early games, still early, but GB down 28-10 and MIN down 27-0 to the Bills, Wow. If they both lose, and we win, we would be 1st in the division at 2-1. Now wouldn't that be something?
  15. This is a must win, beat the teams you are supposed to beat. Bradford is brutal and probably won't last a quarter. Johnson does not look the same since coming back from injury and Fitzgerald is the only receiving threat. I want to see a full game this time, with significant progress for the offense and Trubisky. After seeing Mayfield come in and play like he did, there are no more excuses for Trubisky, especially against this defense. I would like to see another step from Roquan and see the team close another game out. Bears 27-10

    Say some prayers for the Bradford family.
  17. Thats great news on Floyd, because adding even just a little more pressure from that end will make it that much tougher on QB's.

    Bears scoring differential for the first 3 quarters: 30-6 In the 4th quarter: 17-35 So the team has allowed only 6 points in the first 3 quarters of the first two games (literally averaging 1 point allowed per quarter), but is giving up an average of 17.5 in the 4th quarter. So opponent's offenses in the 4th quarter (17.5) outscore our offense for the entire game (16.5). I just didn't realize how dominant our defense has been. GB didn't score a TD until after the 1st minute in the 4th and Seattle scored one 5 minutes in. Some of this can be contributed to conditioning, etc, but I didn't like the Prevent defense Fangio called on Seattle's 99-yard TD drive on MNF. Just play the same defense that got you there. However, looking at it overall, that is a pretty amazing run. So were any of you guys aware that we were that dominant for that long of both games? I didn't even realize it watching the Seattle game.

    New expectations

    With a win against ARZ and even with a loss against TB we go 2-2 into the BYE. This seems to be right in line with projections. I am starting to think that Detroit is going to be a little easier than we originally expected and we have a much better shot at sweeping them this year. That would take the projection up to 10 wins. The tie between GB and MIN really complicates the situation if both win 9+ games. There won't be a tie-breaker against them this year.
  20. The defense looks great, and if Fuller catches that INT in Week 1, we are the talk of the league (and 1st in the Division at 2-0). So it looks like we will stay in sleeper mode for a little longer with TB and KC taking most of the national attention. The defense is playing at a top 5 level, and once the cast comes off, Floyd will be much more effective. The defense with Hicks/Mack is looking pretty scary. Hopefully, Smith gets into form and completely supplants Kwiat next to Trevathan. Callahan and Prince looked much better in Week 2 as well. I am very happy about the defense and just think what it will look like after the bye with a rested and healthy team with Mack and Smith both fully in shape and operating in the defense. I am optimistic about Trubisky, but reluctantly at this point. No matter how you look at it or grade him, he has not been good this year. He is on pace for less than 3k passing yards for the entire season. That is Loggains type of Offensive production. His Y/A is 1.2 yards less than last year. That's crazy. I don't know if it is Nagy's play calling or Trubisky's play. I don't even care about how other QB's are performing like Watson or Mahomes, because every situation is unique and hard to compare at this point in their careers. However, no matter what stats you use, QB Rating, QBR or something like DVOA, which adjusts for defenses, Trubisky is around the 28th ranked QB in the league. Only Bradford and Luck have thrown shorter completions than Trubisky (CAY - https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#average-completed-yards). So some of this has to be related to the play calling. So at some point, we are going to have to take off the training wheels. It seems like we get one great drive a half, but the offense is only averaging 16.5 points a game. That is not going to cut it and if we don't help out the defense, we are going to burn them out fast. Also, if teams start taking Robinson away, it is going to take a huge chunk of production away (144 yards, 227 yds to everyone else) from the passing game. Robinson has as many receptions as Burton, Cohen, and Miller COMBINED. Michael Burton and Bellamy have a reception and White has yet to be targeted. I hope we see a visible improvement this week against a terrible Arizona team. With our defense, we should dominate them. We just need the offense to take a step forward and put a few scoring drives together.
  21. This is what people were talking about where Nagy's offense has someone open on every play. It's Trubisky's job to find that player.
  22. With Mack and Roquan Smith getting all of the attention, Trevathan was like "Remember Me!"
  23. The Seahawks are banged up, and just played on the road in Denver (which is always tasking on the body). Baldwin and Fluker are out on offense, Wagner and KJ Wright on defense. Outside of Thomas, there is not much left on their defense. The Bears should be able to dominate and create a ton of mismatches. If they can contain Wilson and prevent him from escaping from the pocket, I don't see Seattle scoring that much. Roquan spying Wilson would make a lot of sense. I still hold to my 31-13 Bears win.

    Josh Gordon?

    We can't even get White a catch or Wims on the active roster. Plus we don't need the drama and headache. That dude has some serious mental issues that need to be addressed.
  25. The only way you get experience is on the field. I would rather see him out there, especially against an offense like Seattle's that allowed 6 sacks, 2 INTs and a bunch of pressures than watching from the sidelines. Smith is better than Kwiat without knowing the defense.
