Title: Bears and Jaguars in London, Mate.
Post by: Reacher on October 10, 2024, 01:59:45 PM
If the Bears go out and win this one fairly easily we can feel pretty good about the trend of this particular years’ team. This is a game the Bears should win by 16 or more IMO. The Bears’ arrow appears to be pointing up; but I’m still salty over losing to the Colts. This team should be 4-1.

Made you look.

The play where Murray blocked 3 Panthers on the same play is probably the best OL highlight of the year for the Bears. That was awesome. He was out there looking for people to hit.

I think it was designed to cause confusion for the defense with all the motions and give the offense lots of options due to that. And it appears it did exactly that.

I actually captained Caleb in two of my 3 showdown lineups (Bears/Jags game only). Had a feeling they’d roll today. Jags give up big numbers to passing game. Only problem is I played DJ instead of Keenan. I also had Etienne in my Cole Kmet lineup. Etienne scored -.10 and left with an injury. SMH

I played 5-1 Bear onslaughts. This was a rout all the way.

4 TD passes is nice. I expected a big game. As I said, I captained him in 2 of 3 lineups. It is the Jags, maybe the worst pass defense in football. Trubisky had one of the greatest QB games of all time. I’m not saying Caleb is Mitch, he’s not. But we’ve played probably the two worst pass defenses in the league the last two weeks. Caleb looks great. All you can ask for from a rookie.

I’ve seen him hold the ball pretty long on a few throws. Only TD pass I think I saw was the 2nd Allen one.

I only caught the 4th quarter. Sounds like Kmet was the second coming of Kelce and did some long snapping too. SD/LAC Chargers Allen showed up today. Another strong performance from the #1 pick but Jacksonville much like Carolina barely has a pulse. I too would love to see if he can play like this against defenses worth a shit. But the offense is showing significant week-to-week improvement. That's great to see.
