Alaskan Grizzly

The preliminary injury report reads like a mass casualty incident. With all these injuries, it’s a wonder the Bears did as well as they did. Of note, besides Jenkins injury Sanborn has what appears to be an ankle injury, Johnson had a rib injury late in the game and Fields’ brief departure was due to cramps. *Jenkins was recently released from the hospital. Definitely a good sign considering.

Not to nitpick, but on the play it looks like it was intended to go inside; Reiff pulled there behind Jenkins and Jenkins' head was to the inside. Montgomery looks like he sees the inside closing up and decides to run outside but I also notice Kmet is blocking down, right into the path of Reiff. Maybe Rieff was meaning to get to the second level but on an outside play like that wouldn't he have continued behind instead of in front of Jenkins and Kmet? I ask only because if outside, then Jenkins had his head on the wrong side which probably contributed to his stinger.

It's not like he plays in the "Windy City" or anything... I've become pretty disappointed of Santos as of late. My wife somehow recalled he was out for 'personal reasons' earlier this season and wondered if maybe that affected him somehow. He hasn't been the same since, I'd have to agree.

Thought I’d jump on your post Eagles thoughts and add what I found on the interwebs this AM. Cool shit…(and this is with third and fourth tier WRs).

Good follow up of what occurred. Embedded summary in the tweet.

I had read elsewhere that he went head to head with someone then fell immediately to the ground. Right before the commercial afterwards he was seen on the ground face down kicking. Anytime you have something from the shoulders up happen like this, it’s a potential career changer/ender. Gotta hope the best for him, especially just in general ‘life after football’.

“Encouraging news” about Jenkins. But my guess he’s done for the year. Maybe time to see how Leatherwood does as Guard?

Don’t think he’s fully redeemed himself in my eyes. If he’s expecting a big payoff coming up I’m not sure he’s earned it. Maybe try Gordon on the outside (instead of Jaylon Jones) going forward to get a better evaluation there? If Gordon does well enough then you look FA or draft for another CB candidate. ??‍♂️

Had to do a slight edit. ??

Had the Bears tried for that earlier FG they’d only be down by 2…for the moment. And may have not done that darn onside kick. Should’ve kicked it deep with the way the D has been playing. IMHO of course.

Absolutely. So glad he came back. Building on that legendary status.

Null.

Cody Parkey lives on in the form of “doinked” FGs. Weird that it was against the Eagles when he made that infamous double doink a few years ago…in Chicago. Hmm.

He did have a nice catch and run earlier in the game. But his errors outweigh his positives so far

And Jaylon Johnson on an Alaskan Grizzly redemption game with a spectacular stop on 4th down. Lol!!!

V. Jones with a crucial fumble. I’m concerned about this kid going forward .

Joe Thomas is the answer. With a nice stick and stop on Hurts to eventfully stop the Eagles drive.

And now Adams…in for Sanborn…down. Who’s left in the Lb room?

It’s like they read your post. TD pass was exactly that. Short quick dump to Montgomery after Fields run attempt to the opposite direction the play before.

Third Eagles turnover (two involving Kyler Gordon) and the Bears convert it for a TD. Good job guys…what’s left of the team anyhow.

Now Sanborn is down. Damn.

I can’t remember, was Leatherwoods weakness going in pass blocking? He certainly emphasized that today if so. His run blocking not so bad…. Is there hope for him?

I’ll hold off on judging the coaching staff yet. Most everyone had the Eagles blowing out the Bears. Aside from the blown blitz call, the defense has certainly held their own. An earlier stat showed Hurts had 3 INTs over the course of 13 games, today he’s got 2. If you consider the offense is patchwork (especially on the line) and the defense has three (?) rookie starters who are all contributing to the positive, you’ve got a great base to build on.

I take it back. Leatherwood struggling mightily with Reddick.
