How many balls hit players in their hands and they drop it? Odunze now has 3 easy drops on the season and that is at least the 2nd INT this year that was off a WRs hands. These are pros and Odunze is a top 10 pick. He has to come down with these passes that hit his freakin hands.

I am so done with Waldron omg. What the hell are these routes? They are all doing 15+ yard fly/post patterns. No one is going underneath over the middle when there is 20 yards of open space. The routes are allowing the Colts to defend them easily.

Waldron needs to pull an Alan Williams and disappear. He is such a worthless play caller it is sickening. This team is so much better when Swift and Everett are not on the field. Stop giving those guys snaps.

I am so done with Waldron, he is an idiot. Who calls an option run laterally on a 4th and Goal from within the 1? Just bull doze the line and run forward. This is not rocket science.

Even the commentators are confused by Waldron's stupid routes.

btw Swift sucks, misses wide open cutback lanes, drops screens, etc. Roschon and Herbert are sooo much more efficient with their touches. Roschon always gets extra yards. Odunze is heating up.

In defense of the defense, 2 massive holds on that pass to the TE without being called. There is no way you can beat the refs if they are calling it the way they are. First the Richardson in the grasp phantom forward progress. Now blind refs not calling easy holding calls on a huge play that flipped the field.

Ugh, you can't throw late to the outside like that. These play calls are exhausting. Too many dangerous throws. Give him some easy throws.

Boom or Bust Richardson, 44 yarder to Pierce, then throws a Red Zone INT, LMAO.

WTF is going on with Taylor? In a dome with 70+ yards of space and he kicks a 54 yarder that bounced 5 yards before being fielded? Why is he not booming these 60+ yards towards the sidelines? Seriously, they used a 4th round pick on a punter that is no better than the punter they got rid of. What am I missing? This is the 3rd game we are losing the LOS battle because of punting.

I am not liking the play calls. The same thing is happening. No slants or anything over the middle.

So Taylor has turned into Gill? A 37 yard punt that is fair caught at the 17? No coffin corner kicks? What is going on?

Marcedes Lewis has had 2 snaps this season, now both have been false starts? Might be time to consider his roster spot too. What is he providing to the team outside of leadership in the locker room?

Great start of the defense, easy 3 and out. Richardson has not been accurate on two passes, high and wild.

Decent start, one miscommunication to Moore. Santos misses a 56-yarder short. I would've went for it again. If you don't make it they get it at the LOS, so the missed kick gives them better LOS.

Pryor starting for Davis, Pryor Revenge Game, Bears by 20!

If they can admit being wrong about Claypool and somehow trading him, I don't know why they don't do the same about Davis (or release). Davis has the 6th highest cap hit on the team and at this point that money is already spent. So if they cut him today, they would actually get back 600K in cap savings because I doubt anyone would trade for him.

Colts in Cover-3 55% of the time, CHI 36%. CHI is in 2-High 42% of time. Over 50% in any one coverage is high.

The Colts play a ton over Cover-3. It is going to be interesting to see what the Bears do against that coverage. It normally doesn't yield many explosive plays, but there should be open receivers underneath on just about every play.

Homer is the perfect ST player that is serviceable when there is an injury or someone needs a breather. However, it is borderline criminal that he is taking away rushing attempts from Herbert and Roschon. Davis is clearly not over the death of his mother, which for some, could take a lot longer than a year to get over. You can just tell that sometimes he is just out on the field in between defenders and the ball vs actively blocking.

Oh man, he definitely goes on the Shithouse Mt. Rushmore, but most hated ever? I will have to think about that one. I am thinking more like Ray McDonald or Cody freakin Parkey.

I just saw that he was up there in sacks and wanted to compare with other QBs over two game spans. It is still so early, there is not much of an assessment to make with so few snaps and only 66 passing attempts. Josh Allen had 5x 2 INT games his rookie year and he only started 11 games. He threw for more than 225 yards twice, never exceeding 245 yards. He was sacked 15 times in his first 3 starts with 2 TD and 4 INT. The next two games, I want to see a couple of TD passes, no INTs, less sacks, and over 200 yards passing the next two games each. That would be visible progress across the board.

So Williams has been sacked 9 times in 2 games. Since they started recording sacks, there have only been 92 two-game spans with a QB being sacked 10+ times. The largest two-game span is Jake Plummer with 16. Fields has two of those 92 with 11 and 10. Krenzel has 2x 10 sack games, and McMahon has 2x 10 sack games. Just for fun, there are 3 QBs with 20 sacks in a 3 game span (Plummer, David Carr, and Tommy DeVito). Plummer owns the largest 4-game span at 28 sacks, DeVito, Carr, and Plummer have a 26 sack 4-game span as well.

So I will say the scripted drive, or at least the first 8-10 plays were solid. There was variety in formations, motion, etc. Then once the line started really struggling with noise, etc, he went very conservative.

I know I am concerned about the Bears offense, but league-wide, offensive numbers are down across the board. Check out some of these stats thru 2 weeks: 300-yard Passing Games thru 2 weeks: 2024: 5 2023: 13 2022: 13 2021: 21 2020: 16 2019: 20 2018: 19 2017: 13 2016: 20 Red zone passing TDs thru 2 weeks: 2024: 40 2023: 67 2022: 74 2021: 71 2020: 79 2019: 56 2018: 69 2017: 57 2016: 64 So as bad as Williams has been numbers-wise, they look a lot better considering what the rest of the league is doing too.
