But it was damn close.   Titans time management at the two minute warning was shameful.

Bears are frauds

Minnesota sucks. But at 0-3, they are probably better than 3-0 Bears. Hard to quantify the degree of sucktitude of those 2 teams, but they are probably better than Detroit.  :-\

A whopping 4 points worse. Yuuuuge gap between the teams. More worse than any two teams have ever been separated by. We’ve never seen anything like it. The biggest gap in history.

Settle down, Wades.

3-0 vs 0-3, so the yuuuugest gap possible at this point of the season. So, yeah, yuuuuge.

Shoot, man.  Bears 1 of 4 teams that are currently 3-0.  Can't argue with that, undoubtedly one of the four best teams in the NFL.

But they are well-coached. Nagy knew trubisky was the better QB. Big improvement from last year. Knows the offense better.

Nagy might need a couple eyeball transplants.

A clash of titans. Quinn vs. Nagy.

I had always been impressed by Mike Zimmer, but he's really been bad this year.

Of course, not as bad as extending Cousins.

That was a Ryan Pace decision to start Trubisky at the start of the year, don’t kid yourself.

A head coach doesn’t pull a QB who is 2-0 to start the season if that’s “his guy”

You’re saying a coach has no say in who plays? Or some say? Or only say at certain positions?

Ain’t buying it. A coach with any self-respect would quit in a second. He would also lose all “cred” in the locker room.

Unless I blatantly missed the reason why, it was embarrassing the Bears didn’t have a patch for Sayers on their jerseys today.

Agreed. Even as a Packers fan, I recognize and respect the greatness of Gale Sayers. When an all-timer like him dies, there is no excuse for not doing something to honor him in the next game.

Reports in Chicago are that Nagy pulled Trubisky not just because of the interception but also because of two overthrows in the first half.

His problem with Nagy was that Trubisky could not thread the needle on the deep routes. He tends to be ineffective unless he's running a dink and dunk offense. It's too bad because he is a good kid.

Unless Foles gets hurt, the Trubisky “era” is over.

Adjustments and second halfs are night and day year over year. Packers first drives last season were always really good and then they just stalled. Now they’re scoring at will in the second half. LaFleur and A Rodg looking good in year two.

Devastated. I was rooting for him to play just well enough to get a fat extension

So just how awful are the Giants this season? The 49ers were missing TEN starters, including QB, RB, WR, and TE...and they still blew out the Giants 36-9 in NY.

On the plus side, they're only one game out of first in the NFC Least.

Giants and Jets are probably the two worst teams right now.

There seems to be more bad teams than usual in the NFL this year. Even teams that have winning records like the Titans, Bears, Rams etc. I'm not totally convinced on.

Fully expecting KC to roll through everybody this season if they stay healthy.

After tonight, 19 teams will have scored as many or more points this season as the Jets and Giants combined.

Bears are frauds

Example. Bears beat giants by 2 on a questionable last-second defensive stop.

That same giants squad was rolled by a 49ers squad missing 10 starters including their QB.

Example 2.

The bear's vaunted "#1" defense has given up more yards in the 1st 3 games than Green Bay's "built for a shootout" defense.

Source for the bears being the "number 1" defense?

I certainly don't think anyone in this thread has said that

What does "built for a shoot out" defense even mean?  I know Collinsworth mentioned it during the broadcast.  Does it mean let a runner break several tackles and dance into the end zone?
