I'm not a Bears fan, but I think that for the first time in a long time they are on the right track.

Well, we have the Lions covered this year, maybe.

On Mitch, no one is saying he will not be a solid NFL QB eventually. But, Pace sold him in on his efficiency and upside potential. His efficiency has been low-middle so far. And he has had no killer upside games to date (expectations for a young #2 would be to see high side with the down early on).

With Nagy and staff, he has the teachers and scheme. But, in Year 2, I expected to see some sparks. Maybe the Cardinals will cure those ills?

The defense will be dangerous.

Mitch and the Bears offense has looked good in Nagy's scripted plays. The next evolution for coach and player will be to stack success. It's hard to be an innovative play caller for an entire 60 mins - eventually you have to settle in...

Patrick. Effing. Mahomes.

That really sucks for Wilkerson and Brieda.

Ted and Dom left this defense in shambles.

Football is an absolute joke. Ray Nitschke is rolling over in his grave.

Yep. The thing about the calls on Clay last week and this week, on top of the calls being so poor, is that the calls were huge momentum breakers for GB. Can’t underestimate the impact of momentum.....

The worst part is the NFL has already came out and said that the call was correct.

And people wonder why NFL viewership is down.

If you look back in this thread, I stated before the season that thew new rules would be even worse than the "catch" rule has been the last few years. Pretty clear that things are worse.

The lawyers are making the rules now rather than football people. Goodell got what he wanted.

Mitch's play recognition, both pre and post snap, leaving a lot to be desired

GGGG · « **Reply #543 on:** September 23, 2018, 04:46:20 PM »

I was travelling, so I didn't get to see the game today. But I have two general observations:

1. The NFL is over-legislated.

2. The Packers aren't very good.

Now to erase my DVR...

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #544 on:** September 23, 2018, 04:50:36 PM »

Trubisky is so, so bad.

JWags85 · « **Reply #545 on:** September 23, 2018, 04:58:47 PM »

And yet another simple NFL QB play Trubisky can’t make. “Great play” aka the defender just put his hands up. He’s young, he’s unproven, etc... but outside of good execution in the first 15 plays of the Packer game, I’ve seen nothing from him that excites me as of yet

It’s so over regulated that you can’t even enjoy it, every time a play is made you look for a flag instead of celebrating or for that matter groaning. It really is ridiculous.

Mrs. 82 and I rather enjoyed going to the Panthers game and watching our ladz play very well against the previously unbeaten Bengals. Our offense moved the ball all day, our patched-up OL did a great job blocking for McCaffrey and Cam, and our defense came through in the second half with a lot of pressure on Dalton.

It also was fun watching the scoreboard and seeing the worst team in football go into Minny and thrash the overrated Queens. Made me laugh out loud every time the Bills added more points. Obviously, I didn't see the game but it must have been something to behold. Skol!

Dr. Blackheart · « **Reply #548 on:** September 23, 2018, 07:43:53 PM »

Bears in 1st Place as they should be. Nuff said!

tower912 · « **Reply #549 on:** September 23, 2018, 08:21:32 PM »

Settling for field goals against New England is setting up an eventual collapse. Fun so far, waiting for the comeback.
