ASHKUM BEAR

This is looking like a disaster. Not only are the Bears horrible at positions they paid guys to anchor (OL) for years, the refs seem to help the Raiders out like the hold call against Fuller.

If he feels good, I think so. The guy will play hurt, which isn't good.

The oline does need to have a great game for this to happen. They have been owned so far and everyone but Whitehair has me concerned. Montegomery may get the attention, good or bad, but it is mostly the men in the trenches that determine how it goes. So Daniels, Long, Leno and Massie need to show up, get the rookie a game ball.

I have a feeling the Bears will try to establish a run game this week by relying heavily on David Montgomery. This will be his chance to show the world that he can be the bell cow for the Bears. I see him getting 24 carries for 108 yds with a TD, one rec for 17 yds. They will want to get out of London healthy and with a W. That will get them into a bye week and a chance to recover.

Maybe family or friends pressuring him for money? Maybe he is thinking if this worth it? Telling them he would just walk away.

Why not assume it is something like the Chicago/Vegas mob demanding he play bad to help throw the game. If he doesn't, they take a finger or worse. So he is nervous all week, doesn't know what to do. He speaks with the godfather, Pagano, and he says easy enough, we will not play you. You did your part and should be free after...and don't worry I have an idea how to get your backup to look like a superstar.

Kap is out of the conversation right now. The Bears do not even know what Trubiskys time frame is. Shefter had news before Nagy even knew. Bray will be elevated and I could see a flier on Matt Cassel or another KC ex QB if it's one game. If Trubisky is out for the season or most of it, then the discussion might be real.

Whatever it was, he was on the sideline supporting the team. The players did not know until that morning, so Kwit was no prepared to start. As for what it is, we may never find out. Let's hope he is able to finish the season out strong.

This D is on fire. Feeding off every play.

Regardless how Daniel's looks, we need MT to return relatively soon.

Maybe MT needs to watch some, might learn a thing or two. Not giving up on him but put him in some pressure to produce.

I am not necessarily saying Nagy calls on MT to run, but there will be cushions with yards to gain if he is on the move looking down field. He has to be smart on avoiding contact but a nice run or two will soften the zone compared to when he drops back in the pocket.

I predict MT will run for about 80 yds with one rush TD. The coverage will be tight if the Bears come out with the GB game plan. Mn will zone the WRs and bait the pass. Nagy needs to get MT rolling out often in moving RPOs with Cohen as his option. Use him in the slot with motion and keep Monty as the RB. This will be a nail biter, but Bears win 16-14.

Little worried after tonights game. They balled out early on and we paid a price with some injuries. Glad to go home with a W but Minny is going to be a tough one at home next week. Trubisky can hold his head up in the presser for once. Give him credit, he did better.

We don't have the head aches of Antonio Brown or Melvin Gordon. Haven't lost a Tyreek Hill or have Andrew Luck retire before the season. What we do have is our own frustrations with our expectations. We see one RB run for a buck fifty and we want that. Same for a QB, pass for 300 and we want. A TE and WR to break a hundred and we shall have that too. Well, game one, Rodgers was 18-30 203 and then 22-34 209 against the Vikes. Trubusky against Denver was 16-27 120, or GB 23-35 171. Completions percentage is not that far off. This is comparing him to a so called goat. We are programmed to want and want it right now, so we frequently express our needs. I think in time as the season progresses we will be less needy. The mistakes will drop and stats will increase as they get up to game speed and shape. Can we live with this if our guys finish the season healthy and are in the trophy hunt. Will we remember next year when we start off sloppy.

Nagy goes balls out running it. Glad to see Montgomery get his first score. The Bears need to have a respectable run game if they want the pass game to work

And Patterson has made his appearance.

We might not be moving or controlling the offense like we want but it is progress. Keep running and eventually there will be a miss or it will cause a DB to bite and a WR will be open for a big gain.

Good catch lol. I even slip when talking about him. I dont thi k I would matter if we drafted Mahomes or Watson. I think Chicago is where QBs go to die.

The Vikings payed a high price for their mid level QB. Cousins has been in the league 8 years too. Rex will never make it out of Chicago, doesnt matter who the Bears have at QB they will never survive or succeed.

I think Nagy spent some offseason time preparing for this matchup. He is going to bait Fangio and do a switcheroo. It will come down to the trenches, if Daniel's makes the right line calls and they give Mitch time, he should settle down and not make rookie mistakes. The Bears awaken from hibernation and feast on Broncos for lunch 25-6.

It is frustrating for sure. Good Rex... Jay...Mitch, Bad Rex, Jay, Mitch. One, he is not as bad as Thursday and two, he will never be Pat. What they need is for him to understand the game and yet he is a ways off. I think he spent the offseason learning the plays but not seeing how they play out with the NFL speed. At least they have an option on him because this version won't make it to year 5 unless he learns quick. We will be back to signing a vet or trading draft capital bc we want to win now.

I ain't saying Jack until our game is over.

Watching Sundays games is not helping. Young QBs having career games, WRs throwing up 150+, RBs scoring and hitting the century mark. To make it even worse, we only scored 3 freaking points...3. Gonna be the low turd after Monday. Next Sunday needs to get here fast to get this nasty taste out. Nagy has his work cut out to get this team up to speed. They owe us a game. The offense owes the D.

Did you see Browns social media, he had a camera crew there. This was all pre-planned and for as quick as he was a Patriot, I'd say they were involved. This has to have team owners furious and it will add language into future contracts making it tougher for these to happen.
