Would you trade Damien Williams to the Ravens for Patrick Mekari?

He needs to give it up. The offense scored 13 points yesterday and was gifted 6 by turnovers and great field position. They had one drive, the first one, which is usually scripted, in which it was all offense. Nothing has changed since last year nor since he arrived. The offense looks terrible when he is calling plays. Cole Kmet had 1 target and 1 reception for 0 yards. Graham had 0/0. Nothing has changed. Horsted and James have yet to hit the stat sheet this season. So in two games, TEs have accounted for 10 targets, 7 receptions and 53 yards. Why is Graham not being targeted in the RZ?

So, here we are again wondering what went wrong and how to fix it. Let’s start with our first offensive series. On the second play from scrimmage Monty hits a nice hole for 41 yards. It was great play with flawed execution. Why? If Montgomery switches hands with the football and uses a stiff arm, he scores. He learned this in fourth or fifth grade. Plain and simple, opportunity missed. After no gain by Williams, because Nagy decided Monty needed a rest after running a forty, Fields enters the game. Boom, 8-yard pickup to the three yard line. In comes Dalton, why? Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to let Fields utilize his tremendous gifts with three yards to g…

Would you trade Damien Williams to the Ravens for Patrick Mekari?

I've been on vacation from Bears chat because I needed a break from the idiocy of how our team is run. I even wrote George McCaskey a letter at the end of the season to express my unapproval for how the team is run by Nagy and Pace. None of that has changed. What did change is we drafted Justin Fields. He's a football player and game changer. Pace did nothing but get lucky with him falling far enough to take him. He still has yet to help much drafting the O all the while giving up picks and depth. I feel we are never going to get over the hump with Pace and Nagy. Fields can still be great, but he can't change every playcall Nagy makes at the LOS. I see this team …

Just got the first JF rookie card from Panini. One of only 4301. Took a month. Yea I now it's nerdy. But when He becomes the goat it will be worth 500 bucks. And I will be dead.

So watching Foles play yesterday almost makes me miss him but then I realized he was playing against 3rd and 4th stringers who mostly won’t have a job by the end of the week. But man did he look good running that offense. How about Horstead? Might need to make a spot for him to stay? Probably drop JP Holtz to make room. My two fave players coming out of camp have to be Rodney Adams and Khyris Tonga. Have to believe both make it. After yesterday’s game I’m a bit concerned about Peters and Ifedi starting. Both got schooled pretty badly early on. Yes I know it’s preseason but man. Hopefully somebody cuts a solid OLT in the next few days.

Jackson on NFI, Ifedi, Cohen, Newsome on pup. Jenkins and couple others held out of first day at training camp. Should I be worrie I'm. sorry got posted in wrong thread.

They will start rookie Mac Jones. I mention this because it will muddy the waters for the Bears as they try to trade Foles. Chances are a team can sign Newton on a cheaper one year deal as a backup.

Fields gets the start with the starting O-Line. We will see how they hold up and will get to see how Peters looks at full speed. Mostly backend roster and bubble players tonight. I would like to see better tackling and better special teams play overall. Go Bears!

Chris Williams part deux

Trubisky revenge game. Watch him go off and throw 3 TDs in the first half. That would suck lol. Guys I am watching besides Fields: Our Tackles, Herbert, Johnson (WR), Gipson (Edge), Attaochu, Blackson, Vildor Some interesting battles for the last few WR slots and CB2. Hopefully Mack doesn't kill Trubisky. GO BEARS Bears 27-17 Fields leads another win!

I hope it means they have a deal on the table for Foles. Otherwise playing him that long was stupid. Did Nagy get asked about it?

The Chicago Bears shore up the oline by signing Jason Peters.

When Fields entered the game the offense was completely out of rhythm. It stayed that way through his first couple drives. After that I saw three plays I really liked. Of course I loved his TD run, but Mitch could have done that. The first play I liked was one where he was rolling to the right and patiently hit the receiver that was breaking free. Two was his long run. Only two players in the NFL make that run, Fields and Lamar Jackson. The only difference, Lamar would've scored, yet Fields just glides at that speed. Third was the TD to James. When you show elite arm strength and it looks effortless as you are rolling right and throwing left. Impressive. I know…

This is a great first test with some joint practices. Those are always fun to see. Miami is very similar to the Bears, they finished 10-6, had a top 10 defense and a top 20 offense. The Bears had a slightly better defense and slightly worse offense. I think we have the edge on both sides of the ball this year. I would take the Bears units every time, thoughts? Tua/Brissett vs Dalton/Fields Gaskin/Brown vs Monty/Williams/Cohen Parker/Fuller/Waddle vs ARob/Mooney/Goodwin Gesicki/Shaheen vs Kmet/Graham/James

Visited Bears training camp today with my brother and his boys. Observations: 1 - Much more like Platteville than Bourbonnais. Platteville was very laid back. Bourbonnais was was too corporate for my taste. 2 - Jaylon Johnson had 2 picks of Andy Dalton. The 2nd was beautifully timed where he jumped over the receiver on a long pass to haul it in. Dalton did have a nice throw to Allan Robinson on the sidelines. 3 - Justin Fields made a fantastic throw to Jesse James on a deep side-line route that went right over the top of the defender Charles Snowden. It really was a thing of beauty. 4 - Watched the defensive line prac…

I love listening to Riddick and hope at some point he works for the Bears. Great interview. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2021/8/16/22627833/chicago-bears-wouldnt-shocking-see-justin-fields-start-week-1-louis-riddick-rich-eisen-andy-dalton

According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the is an unnamed league source suggesting Goldman is considering retiring at the ripe age of 27? Seriously? I certainly hope not. We need this guy back out on the field. It sounds like Bears NT Eddie Goldman’s future is in doubt

1-2, 10 yds. Throws to first read into triple coverage on completion. Lucky it wasn't intercepted and the receiver almost got blown up. Instead of letting him air it out, they protect him and run more than pass while Trubisky was in. That was embarrassing, and against the Lions no less.
