Title: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)
Post by: Reacher on October 03, 2024, 09:56:25 AM
Can’t lose this one. We need to start seeing a maturation of the coaching staff (as well as the QB and the offense). And Jesus, time for the Oline to get its shit together.

I do think Mooney was never the same after coming back from injury in 2022.

No doubt Carolina looks a lot better with Dalton, but have to win this game fairly easily. Can’t let the Panthers come to your crib and punch you in the mouth. Have to win by 10 or more to feel good about the Bears trend.

Need to see some offense today, too. 27 points or more.

High priced receivers don't both to try and get open. Lazy and rich....

Elite Defense!

So does the Bears run defense

Utter nonsense. And Odunze was open across the middle all alone. Caleb didn’t have time to deliver it.

Disastrous start. Not sure this offense can play catchup. Even in a one score game.
Title: Re: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)
Post by: Reacher on October 06, 2024, 12:21:01 PM
So I guess we’re sticking with the Swift as workhorse RB script.

Moore was the wide the fuck open on that one! Awesome!

Damn, I finally started paying attention to the HQ fantasy league and I decided to bench Drake London and DJ Moore smh

That was an encouraging drive. Let’s tighten it up on defense and roll these clowns.

I wonder why Velus is still on the 53 man if he’s not going to ever be active.

Rich, Lazy DJ Moore on pace for 200 yards and 4 touchdowns!

In baseball they’d say put a tent around that circus. Nice play, you’d think someone could have gotten open through all that.

I’d still prefer a RB by committee approach.

The O-line are actually moving bodies for him too.

Jaylon Johnson is such a good player. Probably not a better combination of cover/physical corner in the league. He’ll hit you.
Title: Re: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)
Post by: Miles Leonard on October 06, 2024, 12:54:10 PM
Dalton 6/7, 8 yards passing. Sounds about right.

Zero push from the line on that 4th down play.

He threw him open....
Title: Re: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)
Post by: Miles Leonard on October 06, 2024, 01:33:08 PM
That kick never had a chance.

Bears get the ball first to open the 2nd half.

That was a good block. Bad call. Not good defense.
Title: Re: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)
Post by: Reacher on October 06, 2024, 01:57:38 PM

Stop exaggerating. DJ had his man beat 10-15 yards before the ball got there.

And the ball was in the air guiding Moore open

But that’s not “throwing him open.” He already had leverage on the guy and was passed him. Good throw. Better catch.

Would like to see better than a 33 yard FG from 1st and goal at the 2.
Title: Re: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)
Post by: Reacher on October 06, 2024, 02:18:55 PM
Kicking the FG down 23 with a quarter to go is an interesting choice.
Title: Re: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)
Post by: Reacher on October 06, 2024, 02:33:05 PM
How about a death blow, Bears?
Title: Re: Bear vs Panther (who would win?)

Would’ve if Moore would catch the ball lol

Already Caleb's 2nd career 300 yard game.

I don’t know about that. Definitely should have been a pick, though.

Post by: Reacher on October 06, 2024, 09:38:41 PM

No one said that. But I’d rather he make a key play in a tight game than a meaningless play in a game we’re winning by 26 late. Dropping that is like complaining about the missed FT in a 30 point win in November.

Which ended up being an issue for the Illini the whole season.  So does this mean Owens will drop more sure interceptions, even in close games?
