Since I'm the only one posting tonight I'll drop the N. Nancy. Things are looking better by far. I look forward to building on what we've seen so far tonight. DaBears

Someone tell Nagy to stop being so goddamn cute

Hoping they get back to a run first mentality. Get the off. line back on track. Closer to Minnesota's off. then the Chiefs for awhile. Get the running game on track and then work in some of the misdirection multiple personal groupings. Some good old fashion Bears football. This is a team to start building your offense on. Don't over think things Nagy. Like I'm someone he should listen to! LOL

As the neg. Nancy here I only see what my eyes and head see. When I look at everything from games played over the past two years. Press conferences, how the team talks about him, how they talk about game planning. Now Long says we need to get back to basics. Really? It just does not seem like a franchise moving in the right direction when it comes to QB play. Yea there is blame to go around with all phases of the game. But when was the fist time he put the team on his back and won a game? The playoff game last year was three quarters of sad play. Had he connected on that pass before the kick we would of won outright. They were gifted the win last week. Every week it seems there is one excuse after the other for poor QB play. And then yea but he made this play or that one. This week is a good chance to start making some progress in the whole team going forward. And having Trubisky make the Tampa game last year the norm not the exception!

I understand that Trubisky is the guy all this year and next. But guess I'm the negative Nancy here. I just don't see him as a franchise QB. And I don't believe you can win a SB without one. We had the greatest defense in the late 80's early 90's and one of the best in the mid 2000's. We only made it to two SB's and won one. We could not even get back to one in the Ditka era because we had no consistant QB play. And that was in a era that you could win with a great D and serviceable QB. In todays game it takes a lot more that just a great defense. Just to much offense allowed. And I agree there is a lot not clicking yet this year. But as good as everything was working most of last year is still not going to be enough with Trubisky. With all the teams that have a Fran. QB that are so far ahead of where Trubisky is. And where I think he is going to get. I hope I'm way off, I have waited for 60 years to have a great QB. We have had great everything else.

I would love to be so positive. But I've lost all confidence with the offense this year. It looks more like year two of Trestman than anything else. Not in the sense of losing the team but just a fluke last year. I bought all the hype on Mitch over that last year. But all the signs that I tried to blot out are ringing in my head. Nagy always being optimistic about Mitch and how he's progressing. Saying that all the mistakes in camp were planned. Not letting him play in preseason. Going from 101 to 202. What coach has ever used terms like that. And now they say they are going back to 101. I just have no confidence with all the explanations I have heard since training camp started. I just don't think He has IT. No matter what it is. I hope I'm wrong but a few good plays here and there can't keep me from seeing all the things I think I see.

Can't fault the players they were gases all the fourth quarter. But can't keep playing like this and win. Why did I not see any players suck on oxygen on the bench?

not going to say anything. its an ugly win

Best I can see the Colts still have the rights to Luck if he returns next year, but they could trade him. If anyone knows better let me know.

Yea it's an overreaction but after all the talking heads saying the Bears D was going to a drop off. Maybe it's the players and not the coach. Maybe he's the one that's going to take a step back.

I agree the ball to Robinson is a throw I would hope Mitch takes every time. Considering the game and time. It was a 50-50 throw to a receiver that should make that play more times than not.. It looked like Robinson slipped or did something. But it is time for them to start drafting a QB every year.

I go back even earlier. The first play of the game on offense. A simple pitch and they could not get it right. A sure sign to me they were not ready too play in weak one. MS on purpose.

So he shits on two teams and fan bases and he gets rewarded in less then a day. I'm just about done wasting my time and money on the NFL. Pro sports truly has no soul. And he posts Gods Plan. LMAS

Your right,m thanks for reminding me. I was so disappointed that they did not run I lost the fact that the D played a great game. I was yelling at the TV almost as much as I did in 85 when they did not let Walter get a TD. I failed to see the good parts.

So time to overreact, but they seem to be over hyped and in for a large letdown this year. Based on the display this week 7an9 would be a good record. Someone tell me something I can hang my hat on going forward. Mitch just looked lost out there all game. Totally out coached on every level of the game. And this from a new coach who never showed anything above average in the past.

Have not even showed anything good or something they can build on offense. Just offensive offense!!

I guess all the disrespect is founded. Just a sad game and not sure how I can pull a positive out of this. Last year they looked good and ran out of steam 2nd half. They were never in this one. Sad display by a team that is suppose to be a playoff contender

"Man Bill, I’m coming to your house! That sounds amazing!!!!!" Yea, just finished my 2nd pulled pork sandwich. Great flavor. Just smoked pork and a good hard roll, simple and delicious! Gotta love smoked pork. So win lose or draw this in on Nagy. Gotta do a better job getting your team ready for a week one milestone game such as this. Where is the run game?

Time to pull my pork butt I've been smoking all day on my kamado and maybe the Bears can do some smoking in the 2nd half.

I think my helmet fell off the stand. Maybe we should of played the starters in the preseason. No one looks like they are ready to play. Hoping for a much better 2nd half.

I've had to do a bunch of yard work and house cleaning to help pass the time. I'm now sitting down and ready for some Football. I am tired of all the disrespect the national media has been giving the Bears this year. But being a Sacramento Kings fan I'm used to it. It's starts tonight winning that respect from everyone. I know this is just one game. But this one is much more important than a season opener like last year. It's time the Bears start to put to rest the Roger's era in the NFC North and start putting their mark on the division and the rest of NFL for the next decade. I'm looking for a statement game from both the D and the offense and not be close. 30-10 Oh and yes I have my helmet up and rotating. Go Bears!!!

Can't wait. And as for the D. The times that other teams defense slowed down our rush with Mack etc. I don't think they will be able to do that with the blitz packages I believe Pagano is going to dial up this year.

For all intents and purposes training came and preseason are over. Other than setting a few of the last of the 53 man roster we know who is going to be on this team. As a fan I would like to know what you all expect. Best case and worst case. Baring any injuries to the starting 25 or so. If Mack goes down, or Mitch all bets are off. A receiver or running back gets lost all bets are off. But if this team can keep it's core in tack what are yo'ur realistic expectations for this season. What would be successful season or a failure. For me, not making the playoffs or losing in the first round again would be a failure. Making the NFC championship would be a success. Not winning it all would be disappointing but seeing every phase working together and improving would be something I could hang my hat on. I think we have a three year window to win it all. But I want to see Pace and Nagy building something we have not seen since the 80's. A successful formula that continues to build on every year. A front office and coaching staff that is stable for ten plus years. A system that is not dependent on just one draft class or a few generational players. Something that shows continued team building every year and a system that replaces those players that got us started. Not dependent on a few great players but a system that can plug in new players every few years.

I would let Duck go for the guy who ran him down like he was standing still. 6'3" 206. Pretty impressive. One of the best effort plays I've seen in awhile. Made someones team with that.

Ok. One and a half games and so far I'm wondering where the plays are. Not one play made IMHO in the first half. A strip and recovery because the Giants tackle blew his assignment. And a kickoff for a touch down because a kicker was lackadaisical. Nothing I saw all half that made me excited. Guess we will be looking for a backup QB next year. Time to play the starters next week just to? It's only preseason!
