ASHKUM BEAR

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.

Minnesota looks pretty tough out of the gate too. The good part is the Bears could scale back on offense and it would help imo. Get a run established, add some screens, then once that is going some deep shots to soften the d

It is unfortunate for the Raiders. If this was the plan all along, they should be granted compensation. It is good for the Bears as it helps us get value back in the Mack trade, but I would hate to see players use this tactic in the future. Wonder how long Gronkowski stays retired. This might have him thinking one more ring.

Glad I only have Brown in a free FF league as a WR1. Took AJ Green with a late pick, now I will hold two inactives on my bench. If the Bears do not turn around from Thursdays performance, the Raiders might have a high first round pick from us. Lord, please help Nagy, Trubisky, and the 5 OL find the vision and power to defeat the remaining opposition. Amen

I think we seen some woes of switching Daniel's to center. He had some troubles making the calls at the line. Let's hope this was the worst game the oline played and it is out of the way.

Did Trubisky check out of run plays due to GB daring him to pass? I didn't see any screens or the trip WR bubble screen. Nagy needs to get back to the basics and hold Trubisky a little tighter on check outs. Montgomery needs 15 to 20 carries, use Davis to spell him. A loss by 7 feels like we were pounded by 30. Hate to be down on the season already, so gonna give it another chance to see if progress is made.

I was on the Wims bandwagon when we took him. Seen him play big in 2017 and his play had my attention. He earned more opportunities and I think he will please.

I seen early reports of Mizzel over Vaughters. I couldn't understand why another RB was needed. If one gets hurt, RBs can be found on the street.

Glad to see Whitehair locked down. The old days of ignoring the oline seem to be gone. Pace needs to invest early in a OT next year as I am not big on counting on Cowerd to be that guy.

Hopefully we get a few players to the practice squad; like Duck, Denmark, Bunting, and maybe Franklin. Caldwell RB was released to I believe.

I like Horsteds effort, seems like a great kid. Put him in the Dane Sanzenbacher, Mike Hass, Daniel Braverman, Tanner Gentry club. One day one of these kids will make it, maybe it will be Horsted.

Hate to say it, but Shaheen will not be cut. Traded maybe, but the Bears will not give up on a player coming into year 3. Shaheen was raw and the Bears knew it would take him time to adjust. It takes 3 years for some guys to come around, look up Gabriel on google saying this. It should be archived from interviews on 670 the score. If he doesn't come around after the year, then they may cut the loss. Bullard was in the same boat, he might not make it this time if they feel a younger player has more upside. The Bears have so much versatility that playing a big double TE front with Montegomery will pay dividends once the run is established early on.

They also lost a future compensation pick with Kevin White being cut by Arizona. That pick may have been needed to fill a position that the Bears now have to sign/re-sign to fit in coming years.

Haven't seen the game, but by the sounds or tweets, we have seen enough of Montegomery to shelf him until the season. Some guys are saying La'veon Bell like. Give him a series a game and keep him healthy.

At least we are not reading reports that everyone is tearing it up and we are a lock to win the superbowl. I would be more worried about that. TC is the time to find problems and to correct them.
