Football is back! Call your bookies, Bears dominate the Titans 34-10. Defense scores!
-
Eberlose greatest D coach ever.
Throw the ball downfield Waldron!
-
Bring back Fields!
-
Waldron sucks!
-
Wow. That throw can’t be missed. That was a walk in TD.
-
1st and 10 at the Titans 25 and it ends in a punt. Looks like the same ol' Bears offense we've seen since...forever.
-
Not the start I envisioned. Even 5 minutes ago.
-
Shelton letting his man have a free run at Caleb reminds one of Lucas Patrick.
-
Why is Velus Jones still on the roster?
-
Why is Velus returning kicks. He can’t catch.
-
I wonder if the Titans special teams coach told them to kick it to Velus.
-
Not sure going deep on 3rd and 4 was necessary. Need 1st downs.
-
Caleb's deep ball isn't looking so good thus far
-
brutal to watch, jeez
-
They look like shit across the board right now.
-
Levis has all the time in the world back there.
-
They are getting abused by a bottom rung team right now.
-
Eberlose's Bum Slaying D getting picked apart by Will Levis
-
Way to go Sweat. Overrated
-
Eberlose sucks ass
-
Remember when Eberflus had the team unprepared in last year's opener?
He sucks.
-
Not looking too good right now 😬
-
Damn Waldron.
-
Bring back Getsy
-
Just get a FG. Show everyone that you at least still have a pulse.
-
wow the running game is abysmal
-
Good thing Poles got all these receivers, just like Tempo wanted, instead of quality OL.
-
Every year we get conned by these fuckers. Same old shit.
-
Is the championship window still open?
-
Is the championship window still open?
They won the preseason championship
-
It’ll get worked out.
-
Keenan Allen, brother, you were bought in specifically because you can make those catches. You have to help your rookie QB out.
-
Coleman Shelton has played like a downgrade from Lucas Patrick. Jenkins and Wright both whiffed on the same guy on busted up 1st down. Keenan Allen drops a TD he catches 98 out of 100 times. SMH.
-
Good thing Poles brought in Keenan Allen while their lines are getting their shit pushed in on both sides of the ball
-
That was pretty brutal but going to panic after 1.5 ugly quarters.

You’ve taken the position the OLine wasn’t the problem, and the position they are the problem. I’d like to see you pick a lane.
-
It was one half of football with a rookie QB. Chill y'all! Sheesh.

Eberlose and Poles have been here since 2022....

The defense getting picked apart by the Titans is more concerning.

We apparently have to ignore the past 2 years of ineptitude and wait until January 6th to judge Eberlose.
-

And keeping Velus Jones on the roster
-
Found PAMan’s burner.

That was last year. This is this year.
It’s the same dudes, minus the Center. And they should be better because they are a year older and played more snaps together. Theoretically they upgraded at Center.

So it is not the same dudes. And they traded a draft pick for a Buffalo cut. And they didn't upgrade at C.
-

JFC

JFC
And both lines are getting manhandled. Still.
-
This is the first half that the roster has even resembled what Poles is envisioning.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone more reactionary than you.

Kmet stays in blocking and they still knock him down
-
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone more reactionary than you.
And you are playing FF and have zero clue about real football.
-

And it is going great, isn't it?
-
This is bad so far. Just bad.
-
Tory Taylor is the only bright spot for the Bears
-
And you are playing FF and have zero clue about real football.
Der, der, der, der!!!
Line is the problem, or not the problem? PICK A LANE.
-
And it is going great, isn't it?
Those missed 4-5 missed FTs in a 30 point win in early November will come back to haunt them!
-
Der, der, der, der!!!
Line is the problem, or not the problem? PICK A LANE.
This year, the line is obviously a problem. Can't pass or run block. Last year is irrelevant. Bring back Gesty.
-
Woohoo!! We have life!!
-
There's your momentum changer!
-
This year, the line is obviously a problem. Can't pass or run block. Last year is irrelevant. Bring back Gesty.
It’s the SAME dudes! A year older and a year BETTER (in theory!). With an UPGRADE at Center!
-
Owens trip to France means he was not around to be coached by the inept Eberlose
-
Technically not the defense, but I had a feeling they’d get a “defensive” TD today.
-
It’s the SAME dudes! A year older and a year BETTER (in theory!). With an UPGRADE at Center!
But neither is true, as you admit.
-
Simone Biles taught her husband well
-
We back.
-
Defense is playing with more energy. Transfer that to the offense please.
-
By God, looks like Simone’s hubby lit a fire under their asses.
-
But neither is true, as you admit.
They’ve certainly been a problem today. I’m not sure that’s conclusive evidence they are terrible.
But again, you took both positions last year. The OLine wasn’t the problem, but they also needed an upgrade at every spot. You literally took both positions.
-

PAMan was VERY UPSET Flus let him go to Paris!

GOOD GOD THIS OFFENSE SUCKS

65 sucks. Pressure up the middle every fucking time.

Coleman Shelton's middle name is Awful. The line is far worse than last year. Can't imagine what this would look like with Fields at QB. We are lucky his is gone.
-
Nice tackle
-
That run by Caleb is going to spark a big pass.
-
65 sucks. Pressure up the middle every fucking time.
It just happened again.
-
Travis Homer the best Bears RB today lol
-
I think that run settled Caleb down.
-
Run some power football. Enough with the inside handoffs.
-
looks like this is their first time playing for some of these Olinemen Jesus christ
-
That 3rd and 2 was an abortion of a play from start to finish.
-
Hated empty backfield.
-
Why kick there? You’re still down 4.
-
And Allen is hurt.
-
Hated empty backfield.
Yeah, OL needs all the help they can get.
-
Empty backfield on 3rd and 2. What a fucking clown show
-
Why kick there? You’re still down 4.
Eberlose!
-
Why kick there? You’re still down 4.
There's 15 minutes left in the game, take the points
-
There's 15 minutes left in the game, take the points
Your offense is struggling to move the ball. You still need a TD. Have faith you can gain 2 yards at least.
-
Why kick there? You’re still down 4.
Just a couple more stops and a couple more FGs and they'll win!
-
BEARS BALL
-
This offensive play calling sucks! Pun intended!
-
Another pass batted down
-
65 has to be cut. Like, right now.
-
Another pass batted down
He's too short!
-
Waldron’s play-calling is not impressive today.
-
Man, you really needed a TD off that turnover. This offense is an abortion.
-
Hell yeah defense!
-
Football is back! Call your bookies, Bears dominate the Titans 34-10. Defense scores!
2x

2006 Cardinals "They are who we thought they were" vibe.
-
hahahaha bears defense probably has more yards than the offense
-
Will Levis is dumb
-
Must be killing Eberlose to have to blitz, especially since it has worked
-

He blitzed more last year when the defense was going well.

Will Levis is dumb
He is a low thinker
-
Here’s where we need to be able to run the fucking rock.
-
Love DJ, what a good football player.
-
DJ Moore for RB1
-
I’m ok with doing that with Velus, but not late in the 4th with a one score lead.
-
Swift with the hurdle
-
Fields would have run out of bounds
-
Too much side to side in Waldron’s play-calling for me.
-
I played about 15 DFS entries today and put the Bears’ defense in about 12-13 of them.
-
Bears = Illini is a match

Bears win!! 👏🏼

Lovie Signature Victory

Not much you can say about that except the Bears are 1-0. That's it.
-
Williams 1-0!!

The ghost of Dennis Green about to make his way to the podium

undefeated!

Super Bowl bound baby! Let’s go.

Illini actually scored an offensive touchdown though.

Quite the indictment that Tempo didn't know that Davis did not play the majority of the game....

The offensive line is the new Fields argument I guess

Lolololololol I knew that Davis was pulled. Not really sure what your point is. You defended the line when it suited your purposes/narrative. And trash it now that it doesn’t. It’s inarguable that you’ve done this.

No you didn't. You said it was the same line as last year. That is patently untrue as there was a new C and RG. You are either completely ignorant or trolling since you can't admit Fields sucks. It is a close call between the two.
-

It was essentially the same line. The only exception was we were supposed to have an upgrade at Center.
You are the one trolling here. Did you not do both of these things last year:
1) Blame Justin Fields for the perceived difficulties of the OLine.
2) Also say that the entire offensive line needed replacing.
If you say no to either you are lying.
-
The “new” RG didn’t start the game. The old RG did.
-
Again, there were a lot of missed practices and shuffling of players in camp. Couldn’t have helped, but I won’t argue that the line should be better than it is. This line is getting to a point where they should have enough league experience and games together where it should be starting to show up on tape. Good thing we have until Oct. 6th to make any final determinations.
-
It’s the same dudes, minus the Center. And they should be better because they are a year older and played more snaps together. Theoretically they upgraded at Center.
This is exactly what I said. The same dudes (minus the Center) started the game. The new RG was not brought in to start at RG.
-
The offensive line is the new Fields argument I guess
He literally blamed Fields for them looking bad, and in the same time frame said everyone of them needed replacing. This is 100% factual.

Fields took the longest time to throw the ball. He cannot do that if he did not have time to throw.
The line does suck. It looked worse Sunday than it did last year. Run blocking was bad too.
The weed over the years and The COVID has obviously impacted your cognitive abilities.
-

Both can be 100% true. They have not gotten better. They are getting worse.
-

As you just admitted, you were wrong. 2/5 guys were new for much of the game and the C was actually worse than the guys who played C last year. Especially when you know that the C is calling out the line protections.
-
Both can be 100% true. They have not gotten better. They are getting worse.
No, you blamed Fields and absolved the line. Many times. You know it’s true. You just got caught both sidsing it (as you often do).
-

Four of the five starters were the same. And I acknowledged this very fact on game day.
-

How can I blame Fields and absolve the line, when, as you admit, I said the line needed to be upgraded?
The fact is Fields made the line worse. They have gotten worse since last year. At least what we saw in Game 1. The C was a turnstile. Bates was no better than Davis and worse than all the guys who played RG last year when. Davis was just collecting a paycheck.
-

Except Bates played more than 2x the snaps at RG.

According to PFF 4 of the top 6 offensive starter grades were had by offensive linemen. Your boy Nate Davis was apparently 2nd best offensive starter on the team. Seems weird though, because I don’t remember hearing Braxton Jones’ name said much. I’m considering re-watching the game.

We saw how bad the offense was.
From what I heard PFF is guys like you and me watching the game and coming up with these grades. There is no consideration of missed assignments, etc. etc. So someone may look bad on a play when he was covering for a teammate who is the one who fucked up.
-
Is that “what you heard?”
-
Looks like PAMan will have to reverse course on the narrative that Nate Davis was benched. Also, I will say one play where Coleman looked especially bad he was inadvertently tripped while pass blocking by Teven Jenkins.

I read it. Just proves what a joke it is. Guys were in the backfield immediately all day long. No push on run blocking. This is really going to be problematic come bad weather. Better cheer for climate change.

Davis was benched because he sucks. And rarely practices.

I think part of it was on play-calling/design for sure. I’m going to watch your guy JT O’Sulllivan and see what he thinks! Baldy was not impressed with play-calling or design. Looked a lot like Getsy out there on Sunday. Hopefully that was an aberration.
-
Tempo playing Madden again it appears.

Sure, could be play design and a new C who can't make calls or block properly.

No.
Didn’t think so!

https://youtu.be/b6SFUluJJco?si=Ada8NusH9wlWcEYI
JT O’Sullivan says Caleb was “too geeked up.” Thought they forced the ball to 13 too much. Wants to see more 2 and 15. Says overall execution was a clown show. Expects it will get better (because it can’t get worse).
-
Didn’t think so!
Nice cut off of the rest of the post.
-
Don’t know how many times I can re-share the post that says four of Five starters were the same. And Flus seemed to make it pretty clear that Davis was not benched, but they rotated them in an effort to keep them healthier.
-
The fact that Davis came back into the game in the third quarter would be a clear indicator he isn’t lying.
-

4 of 5 is irrelevant when 1 of the 4 plays less than 1/3 of the snaps.
Playing less than
1/3 of the snaps is not keeping Davis "fresh". Also, it is fucking game 1. It was not Florida hot. Why does he need to be kept fresh but the other starting OL don't? This is all Eberlose Mumbo Jumbo Bullshit
-
You’re making a mountain out of a molehill here. But then that’s not new for you.

Because if you knew how to read, Flus said Davis and Bates were both nursing injuries.

Only because you have continued to post misinformation today about the OL.

If Flus said it, it must be true. Not that Davis got yanked because of missed assignments.
-

I have not. Four of the five starters were the same (the Center was new). Yes, Davis came out. He also was rotated back in in the 3rd quarter, and Flus explained why (both RGs were nursing injuries).
