Week 3 Game Thread
Great play by Mundy! Woo Hoo!! With Cutler's history on MNF, I was hoping for a convincing win in the 30's-10's range.

Gotta love the Shit Show in Detroit today..
Yeah, wow GB looks really bad. We should beat NY handily.
-
Something of interest
Marshall also tied for league lead in Receiving TDs with 4 (leads WRs). Bennett 4th with 15 receptions. He is on pace for over 100 receptions.

Bears new defense????
Bostic seems to be playing much better, or at least has cut down on a lot of mistakes. Looking at that video, he is getting off blocks really good. Nice to see our DLine getting pressure, surprised not to see Allen on their yet:
-
Now that's a lovie team....
Yeah kinda funny to hear that again, just with a different team and QB.
-
PFT on Marshall conference...
He nearing the statute of limitations on some of these incidents. This is old news and there were far worse incidents between now and then.
-
Trestman v. Smith
and based on the game last night, he also took the defense from last year with him too. Was that the worst loss for a Lovie Smith coached team?
-
Hester's still got it
Damn, Hester still looks great. Congrats on breaking the record, I wish it was in a Bears uniform, but if he does go into the Hall, it will be as a Bear. I wouldn't be surprised if Glennon starts the 2nd half. How many losses before Lovie is fired?

Cutler vs McCown week to week thread
What is crazy is these were both 4-12 teams last year, so it was not like they were picking good teams from the get go. I would get rid of these games altogether except for the Thanksgiving games.

ESPN2 Is Airing a Marshall Special
They are bringing up old stuff: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/...andon-marshall/ and trying to get him suspended like Rice for it.

Fuller named NFC D player of the week!
Congrats to him, hopefully just the start of great things to come. This should also give him a good bump in the DROY voting.

Potential 2015 HOF'ers
Congrats to all Bears.

Possibly, but I would still like to see more of him and maximize his effectiveness.

Football Outsiders
Football Outsiders ratings (after Week 2): Obviously with a road win against a great team, we got a huge boost from last week. An interesting note is that due to Buffalo's win, they are now considered a stronger team making our Week 1 loss not look so bad. We improved 17.6% and now have a 49.1% to make the playoffs, which ends up being one of the Wild Cards. The NFC playoff teams are now: PHI 70.1%, SEA 69.5%, CAR 66.9%, GB 54.4%, ARZ 56.0%, and CHI 49.1%. SF is 7th at 46.9% and WAS is 8th at 41.7%. For team efficiency ratings, the Bears are now 6th (using their DAVE formula), DEN-1, SEA-2, NE-3, GB-4, CIN-5, CHI-6, NO-7, SF-8, PHI-9, CAR-10. NFC has 7 of the top 10, but AFC has 3 of the top 5, which was surprising. BUF? At 11, which means we lost in OT to #11 and beat #8. That is not bad at all. Our offense is now ranked 10th and defense is ranked 13th, which is awesome. Our ST still needs a lot of help at 27th. We really miss Hester here. We also need to get O'Donnell some protection so he can continue to boom the ball. His kicks were much better in Week 2, but I want some 60+ kicks. Player Ratings (DYAR): Cutler - 5th (Manning, Stafford, Brees, Dalton, Cutler), depending on which stats you use, Cutler is currently in the top 12 of all of them, which is great for us. Forte - Rushing-23rd/Receiving-10th - Obviously frustrated, but he had a dropped pass and is not making his own plays this year. Bennett - 7th - Great to see, he has been a stud and is clearly a top 10 TE. Jeffery - 14th - This to me is fine, especially with him laboring with a hammy. Marshall - 19th - I was surprised to see him this low, but the fumble seems to be what caused him to be this low. OLine - Run Blocking - 22nd, Pass Pro - 11th - Obviously not being able to run the ball, injuries didn't help, but the same off tackle run to start on first down has to go. DLine - Run Blocking - 14th, Pass Pro - 6th - It is great to see the run blocking in the top half of the league and the Pass Pro in the top 10. If we can just stay right there, we are going to be a really tough team to beat. Snap Counts: Mundy - 145 Mills - 141 Bushrod - 141 Long - 141 Cutler - 133 Jennings - 132 Briggs - 132 Bennett - 131 Forte - 129 Marshall - 127 Allen - 125 Mundy has played in 99.2% of the defensive snaps, Jennings and Briggs 98.4%, Allen 92.7%. I was surprised to see Houston at only 79% and Young at 44.4%. I am sure Young's snaps will double (and they need to). No real other surprises to me. I am actually glad to see a Safety in there. Mundy has been very consistent and a pleasant surprise. http://www.footballoutsiders.com

ESPN2 Is Airing a Marshall Special
Really odd, especially with the Football Life on him coming out on Friday. ESPN being very shady and bringing this up in light of all the scandals.
-
Adrian Peterson in some trouble.
So the Viqueens decide to reinstate that low life and now this emerges, another child abused: http://www.tmz.com/2014/09/15/adrian-peter...ta-vikings-nfl/ I can't see the NFL not stepping in now.

Tillman to IR
I know it is a long shot, but I would love to see him come back next year, even if it was in a backup role. He has truly been a delight to watch and has been one of my favorite Bears ever. He will be missed.
-
Briggs
He is definitely bigger this year, and probably not in a good way.
-
Week 2 Game Thread @ SF
Yep, Vereen and he almost had a sack on Kaepernick near the end of the game.
-
Willie Young
Nope, he was playing "Incognito".
-
This is Hilarious
It is funny that him and Fuller are now tied for the league lead in INTs.

This team is absolute garbage
I can't wait to see the media's response to this game. We also lost last week in OT, and easily could've won that game. Tonight, it was close, but really should've been a blowout by us. We won the turnover battle by 4 and won by 8. With the blown delay of game call and the Bennett incomplete, that would've changed the score to at least 31-16, which seems about right with the turnovers (us getting a FG after Bennett completion, SF only getting FG on first TD). Our Red Zone offense was on fire too. 4/4 in the red zone and zero turnovers vs a very good defense. The same defense that destroyed Dallas who beat Tennessee today; the same Tennessee team that beat KC, who almost beat Denver today. To me, looking at both games, we are a lot better than we showed last week, and SF is not as good as everyone thinks they are.

Cutler vs McCown week to week thread
That is all you can be really. Every game is almost its own battle. We won tonight, but we need to keep it up, especially through this first part of the schedule.
-
Kyle Fuller
He played great, and that is very promising with Tillman likely being out for a long time (if not forever). I loved his instincts and ability to break on the ball even when it was not to his receiver. That makes it really hard to throw to his side of the field.
