ChileBear Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 The offense is basically just Tarik Cohen. He is the only reason this is still a game right now. And I'll take Tarik! He is a mini Gayle Sayers. Love him. Now, next move, Biscuit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to see some bone-crushing tackling. Wait, no, I just want to se our D tackle someone before a BIG gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Defense couldn't put a full game together. Bears offense was already a serious question mark, but the defense has major secondary issues that I expect to be exploited more as the season wears on.

bowlingtwig Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Can Kevin white ever just stay on the damn field. On another note need to give it to Glennon here. He's coming close to pulling this off in the end when they needed him the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Two blown chances to win that game. Howard's was worse than Bellamy's. Why was Howard even in the game at that point and not Cohen? Howard's hands are anything but good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Reports are White's shoulder was wrapped up and his arm was in a sling. Whatever the injury is (collarbone, seperated/dislocated shoulder) he's probably going to be out a while. Would not be surprised to see him IR'd again, which would likely end his Bears career.

Sucks and could be the last straw on his career here if you can call it a career. Gotta be honest, will he be missed? Through preseason and up to the injury today It's been a where's waldo with him. I had high expectations when we drafted him and he's done nothing to shake the bust label. Sad but it's time to move on and give up on him. WR should be a priority next draft obviously we need to find a stud. Hard to know who to throw to with a lot of average to mediocre at the position.

adam Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Almost every sack was on Glennon, even the last sack to end the game. You just can't take a sack there. How long do you expect Massie to hang onto a block, especially on a known passing down? Glennon has zero mobility and is a liability back there. Without the threat of Glennon getting out of the pocket, they can drop the LB's to take out the TE's. Once they stop Cohen we will start getting shut out. Trubisky is much better suited for the 2-minute drill because he adds his mobility as a weapon. Glennon is a limited one-dimensional QB.

We hung with them despite no WRs really Agree, and it sucks to lose we had multiple dropped TD's that would have won the game. Belemay was held and it should have been 1st and goal at the 1. We were within inches of beating the defending NFC champs who's high powered offense was held to 23 points. Tackling does need cleaned up and there's no excuse for the Hooper TD but that is one play. The Bears didn't quit they fought hard and put themselves in position to win this game. A game almost no one gave them a chance to even be in. Atlanta escaped with a win. I don't usually like moral victories there are different kinds of moral victories. Not getting blown out by the Falcons could be considered a moral victory, but we not only didn't get blown out but we should have won this game we had it there for the taking. This is the type of loss you can build on and build confidence from. I feel like our defense will keep us in games, and our offense will take time to find it's identity. There was a point when they seemed to open the playbook and we got our WR's more involved and that sparked the offense. We're thin there and it's going to take contributions from all of them and our TE's. For a rebuilding team, you want to become competitive first, then there is a point between finding ways to lose and finding ways to win. In a game inches that can be a very fine line. Today we had a win in our grasp and came up just short. Here's hoping it makes the players hungry and work on taking these "almost victories" and make them wins.

Watch the play again to refresh your memory. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2017091001/2...&tab=videos Massie gets beat, and there is pressure coming from Leno's man on the left side, but Glennon inexplicably runs back into where Brooks Reed is circling back to when he very easily could have taken a few steps towards the right and had more than enough time to make something happen. This was going on the entire game, because Glennon has no idea where the defense is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerBear7 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Glennon holds the ball way too long, is erratic with his throws and not very strong as is easily sacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today we had a win in our grasp and came up just short. Here's hoping it makes the players hungry and work on taking these "almost victories" and make them wins. Great analysis and totally agree. Wasn't able to watch the whole game but did notice the overall stat lines were almost duplicate of one another. And like you said, considering the Falcons were just in the SB last year I think our team did pretty good. A better measure will be next week when GB plays them. If ATL blows them out we should be even more encouraged. With regards to Glennons play (and considering I only saw from about mid 3rd quarter on) I'd say it's way too early to pull the plug on him. I understand his passes were short and 'West Coast offensish' but what I didn't see was Glennon making dumb (Cutler like) choices. He was nearly sacked at one point and instead of forcing it downfield threw it out of bounds. He also seemed to be finding the open man; whether it be Sims, Miller, Thompson, Bellamy or Cohen instead of throwing it into double and triple coverage and that's pretty encouraging. And remember this is supposed to be a two headed RBC where we hardly saw any of 2016 Howard. He ended up with 52 rush yards and a pedestrian 4 yard average. And don't forget the horrible drop at the end of the game. Granted I'd like to see what Trubisky could offer on what appears a more athletic zone offense scheme but for now Glennons pocket presence is welcome and he should be given some more opportunities. He certainly didn't lose this game for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard Jim Miller on the radio talk about how well Glennon played yesterday, too. It's almost like these guys have been programmed by Fox to set the bar so low for Glennon because Trubisky is a rookie and is "not ready."
