2024 CHICAGO BEARS

Indifference71

Flacco vs Trubisky!!  Should be some interesting QB play on Sunday!  Interested to see what the Bears game plan will be since Fangio and some other former Bears coaches are so familiar with Mitch and this offense.  Hopefully they commit to the run this week and the D keeps on doing what they do.

I'm going out to Denver for the game for my annual Bears road trip this weekend.  Looking forward to hitting up a bunch of breweries as well as the local dispensaries....what a great city!

I was just talking about this with a buddy who is a die hard Bears fan and he’s convinced Denver's going to win. It’s the Vic Fangio factor for him. I have a hard time thinking Flacco can do much against our D but I do think Mitch could have problems too.  My solution...RUN THE BALL and run it some more.  Denver’s run D couldn’t stop a nose bleed on Monday night. Commit to pounding Monty and Davis and things will be good.

This^.
Tramon Williams summed it up..."We wanted to make Mitch play quarterback. We knew they had a lot of weapons, we knew they were dangerous, we knew all of those things. But we knew if we could make Mitch play quarterback, that we’d have a chance."
Of anyone knows how to beat Trubisky it's Fangio.  
They absolutely need to run the ball, and then run it some more.  Even if they are down 14 points going in to halftime...run the ball!
Make the defense stop the run and maybe it'll open up some opportunities for #10.

I have Denver in both of my fantasy leagues.  I'm not sure how I feel about that.  hahaha

Well, that game was a fn mess.  Hard to believe this is more or less the same team as last year.

It’s 2006 all over again. Amazing defense being held back by the offense. Mitch is simply a more athletic version of Rex. Highly inaccurate passer of the football.

I was watching Mitch close during yesterday's game.  It's been said before that he has a hard time getting through his progressions.  That is an understatement.  Yikes.

Highest percentage of uncatchable passes through 2 weeks:

1.  Cam Newton 34.2%
2.  Mitchell Trubisky 27.8%

Worse than the likes of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Kirk Cousins (aka coach wants him to throw the ball 10 times a game).

What a wild game on Sunday.  That sequence of events at the end was completely insane but happy they came out with a win.  Denver is a tough place to play....that elevation is the real deal.  I was feeling it big time and I was just sitting in the stands!! 

But yeah, it's really hard to feel good about Trubisky and the offense right now.  On the bright side, these were 2 really tough defenses he faced in these 2 games and he didn't turn the ball over against Denver.  But if we're being real, he just doesn't look good at all.  Really hope this isn't Grossman all over again.

Big game tonight.  If this offense can't light up the garbage redskins, then we are in a lot of trouble.  Should be an easy win on paper but wouldn't surprise me at all if it's a lot closer than it needs to be.

Nice win!  It's a pleasure watching Khalil Mack play football....he's an absolute beast and a game changer.  5 takeaways for that D.  It should have been 6 if not for that very weak penalty on Amukamara.  

Aside from that pick in the end zone, it was a pretty solid game from Mitch.  It looked like a good game plan with a lot of short, easy throws to get him going.  And that TD throw to Gabriel was perfect.  Montgomery got going in the 2nd half which was nice to see.  We'll see how the offense does against the Vikings this weekend.  And I can't wait to see this D make Cousins run for his life!

I had a slightly different take on Mitch and the offense.
The defense provided a lot of those points and put the offense in position to get easy points.  The Bears should have run over them offensively.  Most of MItch's throws were less than 5 yards still and outside of that beauty to Gabriel, anything beyond 10 yards were incredibly inaccurate.  
The run game does concern me a bit.  Monty has looked good, but the o-line doesn't seem to be helping our RBs much.  Not sure if teams are just not worried about Mitch and are stacking the box or if our o-line is in fact not creating holes...or both.
Got some real teams coming up.  We shall see.

I don't disagree with anything you said.  I just liked that Nagy clearly changed up the game plan to play to Mitch's strengths.  Clearly he isn't where he needs to be, but it was just nice to finally see something positive out of the offense.  We'll find out a lot about this offense on Sunday against a tough D.

O-line has definitely been struggling.  Swapping Daniels and Whitehair seems to have been a big failure so far.  Massie being inactive last minute didn't help things last night.  But yeah, the running game needs to improve.  But I love the way Montgomery runs...he's a tough dude to bring down.

Well, GB lost to Philly. Detroit is likely to lose to KC. If the Bears can take care of business against Minny this is shaping up to be a huge weekend for us in the NFC North. Go Bears!! 

Indifference71

Yep.  Huge game today.  Sounds like Hicks will be out which will hurt big time against the run.  Time for Mitch to step up against a good D.

Denver, go for the football but stay for the ganj, but really just go for the ganj.

Hicks AND Roquan out. That’s not good news against this rushing attack.
