CrackerDog Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Preseason sucks and the HOF game is the worst one. But if the Bears are playing, I’m watching. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 Yeah, I have to agree, but hey, it the return of football. LOL Generally, we only learn who we "think" will make the team as backups or practice squad. Starters rarely play much, for a good reason. I'm always praying we can make it opening day w/o major injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I don't mind Bagent getting more reps and as I mentioned in the other thread - the one upside is - the team gets to start camp a bit earlier, so with a new playbook being installed etc, that isn't a bad thing. Plus rookie QB too - so an extra week is an extra week. I feel like most years Hard Knock teams are in the HOF game as well - so at this point, unless another NFL volunteers, I would be shocked if the Bears aren't selected for it (we know they want nothing to do with it - but they don't have a choice).

Although Waldron is different than Getsy, I think their offense schemes are similar. So not going to be a total new system. With a new QB it's just the learning curve of a rookie to consider. Waldron will adapt to the player and not be totally scheme oriented. We seen that didn't work well last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 With a new OC and QB, the Bears need any addition time to prepare. This is another blessing that has gone Chicago's way. How many blessings can we get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 How many Prime time games are we getting if Poles takes CW? I'm old school in that I like Sunday afternoon games but as winners, I'll watch them at 3 AM. Of which I have to do with being in Thailand.

Pixote Posted March 27 Author Report Share Posted March 27 I am expecting an announcement that we will be on Hard Knocks. I see where it will not be a single team but an entire division this year. So, will the NFC North be the featured division? As much as fans enjoy seeing their team behind the scenes, it must be a distraction as they prepare for the season. The Bears were on this year's short list of teams before they decided to include all teams from 1 of 8 divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally LOVE to see it, but if it's a distraction, I'd rather avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really believe it would be a huge distraction for the Bears. Can you imagine the deception that would occur in Halas Hall? "We're going to show the public what they want to see, instead of authentic coaching and playing."(Fake quote) This has McCaskey nightmare written all over it.
