Alaskan Grizzly Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 So here we go, game two of the early season and our team is 2-0 for prime time (not wins, just appearances). The first game at home in front of a friendly crowd with all our new toys. Seattle is a mess in so many ways . It makes me personally happy to see Pete Carroll wince in agony when his team isn’t doing well. I suspect (and hope) we’ll see a lot more of that next Monday. How will Trubisky do with a weeks worth of game time and more practice/preparation under his belt? Will Nagy manage the game a little differently (smarter) than last week? Will Smith get more playing time this game (as he should)? Will Mack solidify his hold of 2018 Defensive Player of the Year award while we prepare a bust of him next to the likes of Butkus, Singletary and Urlacher...or DENT? C’mon Monday night!

BearFan PHX Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I've been thinking about this, and I think Mack belongs next to Richard Dent. He can play any position, but I think he's more of a DE than a LB. I know this is a stupid point, but I'm a stupid person, and this is what i think about LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I think Trubisky finds some open space to throw this week and it show on the final score. However, Jordan Howard is the star of the game. The D, featuring a young Roquan Smith chasing Russell Wilson all over the field makes up for last week's shortcomings and the Bears win 24-20.

It would be very smart to have Smith shadow Wilson all game. if there is anyone on the Bears defensive front 7 that can keep up with Wilson its Smith.

Hmm, that does sound better than Kwiatkoski has earned less reps this upcoming game. Like most arguments the truth is somewhere in the middle.

adam Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I see the Bears starting fast again with a few scripted drives, and hope they can put the foot down on the throat this time and close out the game. Wilson has a little of that magic in him, but the Seahawks are a shell of their former selves. I see us winning handily 31-13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'm calling 30-16. SeaHs get a late TD after we get tired. I think they try to get Burton heavily involved and Robinson scores a TD. Howard goes over 100 and 5 PCs. 1 TD. Cohen scores a TD and the defense scores again.

adam Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 The Seahawks are banged up, and just played on the road in Denver (which is always tasking on the body). Baldwin and Fluker are out on offense, Wagner and KJ Wright on defense. Outside of Thomas, there is not much left on their defense. The Bears should be able to dominate and create a ton of mismatches. If they can contain Wilson and prevent him from escaping from the pocket, I don't see Seattle scoring that much. Roquan spying Wilson would make a lot of sense. I still hold to my 31-13 Bears win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 The Bears have continually let me down over my lifetime, and it's usually worse in primetime. I hate to be like that, but it's just the truth. Russell Wilson likely has a field day throwing to guys we don't even know. Our offense can't keep up. 28-20 Seahawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 28-20 Seahawks Can I suggest taking an antidepressant drug. Wilson's Oline sucks, I suspect Fangio has Smith shadowing all day, so not much in the running game for him. The running game isnt very good for Seattle. The only way this game goes the wrong way is if we have several TO's. The only vet in the DBackfield for Seattle is Thomas. They will get touched today. Oh by the way, Wright and Wagner arent playing today. This will not go well for Seahawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By nature, that means to me that Bears can be juts as likely to lose (vs. win) and like you I've learned to expect the worse. On paper, we have the better team and roster, however, QB play matters a lot and Wilson is capable of putting his team on his back and in a primetime match-up I think the probability that he does that increases (especially when its early in the season and they are entering with a 0-1 record). Hopefully Bears overcome it and win and play well doing it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say that they will win or lose, what I can say is that previous teams with different rosters and coaches have no bearing on the ability to predict this game, and even if they stink tonight, it STILL has nothing to do with it. It's like classical conditioning, they ring the bell an d now you salivate, but people who do critical thinking and not psychological pain avoidance would just measure the teams.

Wouldn't mind seeing how Fitts does but apparently not today. With no Burton does that mean more of Cunningham or one of the TE's in as an H-back or whatever they call it now?

BearFan PHX Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think Irving and Fitts are below Lynch on the depth chart. SO we have a 3 man rotation right now in Mack, Floyd and Lynch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingtwig Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 What a great start on offense. 10 play 96 yd drive. Certainly got helped out by a few defensive penalties but what a catch by Howard (didn't they claim he couldn't catch) and the play call for that td pass to Burton.
