I stand with TD below in that I do not want any Ivy Leaguers on the front line.
The Bears could, and probably should (?) be 7-0 with competent coaching. Eberflus is just that bad, and Waldron worse. I am nervous about our defense this week with these injuries.
I watched over 70 of the 82 regular season Bulls games last year. I'm 0 for 5 this year. Might stream the second half tonight. Glad to hear that the Giddler is keeping things interesting.
So many thoughts. And I’m on my phone so expect a few typos.
Coaching is so so so bad. But I’ve said this almost every comment. The play calling is so so dumb I can’t even comprehend what Waldron expected on certain plays. 3rd downs, it looked like Everett is the first read? A few too many 3 yard slants and 2 yard outs to Everett on 3rd down instead of…idk two of the best short route runners in the league (DJ and Keenan for the idiots wondering).
The defense was so good again. Their RedZone defense literally kept them in the game. The fact that the bears were even in that game at half was insane. They stopped them every time in first half in the RedZone. And that’s with no breathers cuz Waldron can’t get to a second set of downs.
I believe the pressure rate was > 50%. That is insane. The o line is abysmal. This is also why I think they need to trade for a D-line asap. Why? Because then they can spend the next 5 drafts on the o line. Caleb should be here for 15 years. Fix the o line. The lions had a great o line last year, AND ADDED TO IT. They literally look unstoppable on offense. Idc if Werner is running routes, if Caleb has time and decent play caller, it will work. Offensive weapons are everywhere, O line is not.
That was so sad. 5-2 allows you to play .500 ball to make the playoffs. They now need to steal wins from the NFC north. Should be absolute hell for us fans to have expectations they could win those games and lose every one of them.
The end of that game, which is largely a fluke, takes away from what we should all be mad about and bitching about. That Offensive Line is the worst in the NFL. We should have won that game 28-12 if we had a serviceable Offensive Line. Is everyone still happy we all selected Odunze with our No. 8 Pick?!?! It's no knock on him but we don't even have time to throw him the ball. With one more good lineman, we are 6-1. If we do not trade for one on Monday or Tuesday, we are clearly playing for next year.
To make matter worse, with a third round pick, we choose a 6'5 330 pound kid who played high school for a team that regularly puts O Linemen in D1 School and the NFL but he went to Princeton. What's the obvious assumption we can make...he's a pussy. His first two plays, he didn't even touch the man in front of him.
Stevenson is a very good Cornerback. All of the good ones have an ego issue. They have to. It is a requirement of the position. The question comes down to how he reacts to his mistake.
I have not heard from anyone who was responsible for hanging at the back of the pile. Are the protecting Stevenson? If so, his error is more egregious.
In regards to players questioning play calls, that is all the media talked about all week. Eventually you had to say something. No discussing anything from the first 55 minutes of the game. Just constant focus on two plays.
Did anyone wonder if we moved our corners up 15 yards and they stuck a sideline route over the CB's head for a 25 yard gain and put them in field goal range what the outrage would be? It would be everyone bitching about the CB's being moved up.
This is a horrible loss and the only thing to watch is how or if they bounce back. Lets stop burning down the house because a once every three years NFL Fluke Play causes you to lose a game.
Sticking your guns here is just sad. Blatantly ignoring the evidence based on some misguided delusions you must have formed three years ago. Hopefully you gain some flexibility from all that stretching.
It's not just one game we're burning the house down over. That was clearly explained.
Another great batch.
