I think its going to end up a home game for the Bears. Many ticket holders are transients and not LV residents. More Bear fans than Raiders fans. IMO

Im not saying I dislike Skat, I would love to have him but we didnt draft him.

A little early to judge a current draft. after 3 games?

After the the 9.17 minute drive, I felt more comfortable but was jumpy before that. I think they were all in.

We are never as bad as our worst game or as good as our best game but we are slowly getting the Ben Johnson offense progressing to what it will end up being. I think after the bye week, things will start being consistent. The defense has a lot of injuries which affects its performance but this game was more physical and the turnovers showed up. The Cowboys defense was bad but no one is condemning what their offense is capable of. The turnovers killed them . If our offense scores first it takes teams out of their running game of which we are still bad at it. Gordon and Edwards will help a lot when they get back.

1.3 mil dead cap / save 7.5 mil

Game ball goes to Sewell for taking out Lamb early in the game.

Is that Scott?

I had to take a break from all the negativity. I normally absorb all the Bears content I can but everywhere is blowing up. I felt bad after the game, I didnt want to keep robbing my positive nature by constantly tormenting myself. Im not saying, its not deserved but trying to find something positive to jump on and haven't found it. In saying all of that, I have hope we can put it together and punch out a win. I think Caleb and Rome have big games with the TEs actually getting involved this week. 34-29 Bears. Dallas's defense is as bad as ours, so we got a shot.

Okay thanks, so the software decides the IR eligible.

I think the Ben Johnson effect will take some time but I have always been a Poles supporter but lost that yesterday. He's not going anywhere so all my criticism will be lost. Caleb played better this week than last but the rest of the roster has been exposed.

I think we need to dwell on the positive after a butt whipping like this . Rome Odunze and Swift was effective. That's all I got. I stayed away from here yesterday and social media because I felt sick enough w/o the extra chatter.

Adam , how do you put players on IR, if we actually have those spots? I dont remember if we do in this league or not.

My mind tells me that we will play better and still lose, but I watch my team (Bears) with my heart and hope. One day we are going to be a very good team, why not want it to be today. 27-24 Bears.

I dont get deep into stats but they do paint a picture. I did see one that bothers me about Caleb. He led the league last year in overthrows to WRs. His accuracy is in question. I think BJ will fix it but its not in game 1.

The Bears signed Jake Moody/K to the practice squad. I think this move was to put pressure on Santos and replace if necessary.

He does the extensions to get good deals before the time they expire. Injuries are never expected. If he let the contract play out and he signs somewhere else the Bears Nation would throw a fit. At the end of the contract, some will have been good and some may have been a bad decision. Did GB make a bad decision paying Parson 47 mil a year with knowing he has back issues. If they go to a SB, no, if doesnt play a lot of snaps during the contract , yes.

Like someone said, good teams overcome this but it affects us when everything has to go right to win.,

After watching an all-22, Caleb deserves a lot of credit for missing reads and not getting the ball to open WRs. I paid attention to Braxton Jones and I only see 3 times where his guy gave pressure to Caleb. He played well in my opinion.

Several things are fixable but If it continues , I dont think BJ keeps Hightower around.

Yes , we also had a punt partial blocked. I read where Santos was told to kick the ball out of bounds. It would give them the ball at the 40 but would have given us another clock stop for the 2 minute warning. Now with several backups starting did that pull them off of the ST plays? We missed the tackling ability of TJ Edwards and Kyler Gordon.

There was a couple bad calls. They gave Dayo a personal foul for hitting to the head and the replay clearly shows him under the helmet.

Many things to dislike but trying to be rational in my evaluation. Penalties killed drives. Will say a couple of bogus calls by the umps didnt help. Defense looked very good and then seem to run out of gas in the last quarter. Caleb didnt have a good game (IMO). Missed reads and erratic throws. Did well in the beginning and run well but it disappeared at the most important part of the game. (4th quarter) BJ had some mistakes. Santos missed FG was huge. I think everyone said this will take a little time to get going and after this game that is obvious. Very disappointing to give away a victory and losing made it seem like the old Bears but I think BJ will clean it up.

Swift had two runs in that series that he pounded for first downs.
