Just for reference; as of this post the Dolphins are down by two scores to the Saints and Cutler just fumbled. Dolphins did manage to recover it...

So I'm curious; how did Pace, Fox and I'm guessing Loggains decide to go with Glennon? With players like AJ McCarron, Case Keenum and Jacoby Brisset out there, what made Glennon that appealing? Keep in mind this is the same staff that pulled off a CIA worthy covert meet and workout with Trubisky to eventually make some bold moves to secure him in the draft. Should we be concerned on how they, as a group, judge talent? Or was Glennon expected to be the straw man all along? Surely they had to see this happen?

was there anything good about this game?
FWIW, I really like Tony Romo in the booth. He and Troy Aikman are (IMHO) two that do the best. (Weird that they're also both former Dallas QBs).

As much as I despise Sanchez, I'd agree with this. But would still prefer Trubisky.

was there anything good about this game?
Agreed. This is not the offense for Glennon. This is a zone style offense with designed roll outs and anticipated QB movememnt. (Remember when they said they were going to use it with Cutler but never did?). Glennon is clearly not this type QB. I was even thinking last night that in the time he played for TB to now he's gotten absolutely horrible. I think the big key to that is simply the offense. When you have a player like Jordan Howard who despite his shoulder totally on the verge of falling off and he's still playing; you as a coach and manager owe him better. It's time for Tribuisky.

Danny Trevathan hit
Totally agree. For as brutal a hit as it was I'm not at all convinced this was intentional; at least in the regards of him trying to hurt the guy. Did he intend to hit him hard? No doubt. They had a panel of guys on NFL network last night with Willie McGinist, Dave Carr and someone I didn't recognize (apparently played for Denver with Trevathan). McGinist and the other guy said Trevathan is known as a thumper and this type of hit is his style. They didn't think he was our head hunting. Carr said his initial reaction (as an offensive player and friend of Adams) was that it was intentional but after listening to the other two he reconsidered his stance. During the game and hit you could hear Tony Romo said he thought the hit was a sign of frustration. You make a great observation that the whistle hadn't been blown. And I think most players will tell you they're told to play to the whistle. I've seen some compare Trevathan to Burfict after last night. Still don't see it. His locker room interview afterwards seemed pretty conciliatory and he was even heard apologizing for the hit; something I'm pretty sure Burfict would never do. He repeated a few times that he never sought out to hurt Adams and would even try to contact him to check on him later.

Bears at Packers Game Thread
What you want to bet the Bears will get called at least 3:1 times more than the Packers for penalties?

So while we wait to see what Trubisky can do for us; DeShaun Watson keeps on producing. Watson and his gamecheck

Bears at Packers Game Thread
Speaking of Trubisky, where was he last week? Seems if he's #2 on the QB line up he'd be hovering somewhere near Glennon during change of possession. Saw more than I wanted of Sanchez and he wasn't even in uniform. But no sign of Trubisky. Was he at the game?

Tarik Cohen's run and the officials
Ok now that we've beat that play to death, what the hell happened on the Cooper f*ck up play? Shouldn't that have been a safety? Although upon further review and considering the end score at regulation we were better with the FG.

Bears at Packers Game Thread
And to imagine if they'd somehow managed to convert that last series against Atlanta. 2-1 is what we'd be looking at. This despite Glennon, sometimes more penalty yards than offensive yards, Glennon, occasional turnovers and Glennon.

Tarik Cohen's run and the officials
Weird. The SJ was literally parallel to Tarik where he went out. Where would the DJ be positioned at the start of the play? Is he the one in the offensive backfield at the start of the play? I did notice the BJ(?) didn't indicate a TD after Cohen crossed the line and after looking towards the area where Cohen 'may' have gone out.
-
Tarik Cohen's run and the officials
I'm still confused why they called Tarik out. The SJ on that side of the field can be seen running behind Tarik after he allegedly stepped out. Had he been ruled out wouldn't the SJ have stopped at the point of the 'out' to mark it? Rather it sounded like an official on the opposite side of the field called him out(?). From what perspective?

Tarik Cohen and Jordan Howard...
Funny you said this. It's Imagine Dragons but different song:

Demps breaks forearm, out indefinitely
Maybe the time on the pine will help Amos up his game a bit. He's a very capable 'in the box' safety. Just needs to work on coverage skills.

Steelers at Bears Gamethread
I had seen something earlier this year where Floyd was asked about his thoughts on how more effective he'd be this year and he said something to the effect of 'they've' been working on his technique to make him better and to avoid injury. It would appear whoever 'they' were should've left it alone. I saw one play yesterday where Floyd had a bead on Rapelisburger and for some reason Floyd jumped in the air right before hitting him. Ben simply stepped to his left (I think it was) and Floyd went right by. It was like seeing someone in bball being juked by Charles Barkley. It shouldn't happen.

In the context of getting a rookie QB some experience; D. Watson went toe to toe (in Foxborough) with Tom Brady and nearly won. Threw 301 yds with 2 TDs and 2 INTs (he's a rookie). Can't get that experience watching from the sideline.

Jordan Howard is a god. No quit in this kid!!!

Steelers at Bears Gamethread
That was probably one of the worst series of events I've ever witnessed as a Bears fan. I should be ecstatic they are ahead 17-7 but I'm not. It's almost they don't want to win.

Wondered about that injury. Was thinking it looked like a dislocated finger. Thought either way he could be out for awhile then he goes and scores. Hm

He also second guessed his throw to Miller coming over the middle (and eventually was open behind the coverage). Miller had his coverage beat on the initial read. *sigh* Can someone explain to me how Sanchez is still on the team? He's taking up space by continuously being on 'injured' status. Didn't think he could possibly be less productive a player but I was wrong.

Anddddddd...the penalties keep on coming!!! More penalty yards made for Pittsburg than their offense. Way to help them out guys.

Still early but still want Trubisky to come in sooner than later.
