adam Posted Wednesday at 12:27 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:27 AM Johnson said starters will play some, so I assume at least one drive for offensive starters. I like how Johnson ramped this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted Wednesday at 10:17 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:17 AM I think BJ just wants to see a progression with Caleb. The fact its going to be a 16 day stretch before the first game has to be part of the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted Wednesday at 01:05 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:05 PM I love the buy-in. From the interviews, you can really see that there is a difference. Compared to the other younger Offensive-minded HCs, McVay is probably the only one I would take over Johnson. Shanahan always chokes, LaFleur is solid but I feel like he has already peaked, and McDaniel gives me young Trestman vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Bosa got everything but cavity searched, in that game, with zero calls. Seriously, he was blatantly held on at least four drive extending plays that absolutely swung the game by leading to multiple scores. There's a montage out there.

Refs suck in general, but that had nothing to do with their offense only scoring 20 and 19 (in regulation) in the last two SB appearances. In 2020, they didn't score in the 4th quarter, then in OT in 2024, they got to the KC 9 and kicked a freaking FG. He had 1st and 10 from the 15 and lost the game. He had similar games in ATL, CLE, WAS, and HOU. Before ATL, he was an OC for 7 years and had one season where his team made the playoffs, and what did they do, lose a home wild card game and only scored 14 pts. It is the Shanahan curse.

I does matter if only one team is getting the benefit of calls. They refs provided a 14 point swing in that game. I had no skin in that game whatsoever, but I lost a lot of faith in the NFL over it. Crazy enough, it was the Swifty effect. There was a 20 percent bump in viewership when she was known to be at games and European swag sales and purchased games for club parties exploded. My buddy coaches an NFL academy team out of Nuremberg Germany and said it's insane the growth and interest. Coaches, GM's and owners call bullshit on it and KC got their ass waxed as result. Lord Mahomes even took a good blow to the head that was blatant and not called. Hopefully, the NFL is done with that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted Thursday at 10:12 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:12 PM I know he got dinged up a little, but if Austin Booker is half as effective as he has been in the preseason, the pass rush rotation is going to be really solid.

BearFan PHX Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Ugh. In Phoenix AZ, the game is "blacked out in your area" on NFL Network, so i get to see a replay of it in 3 1/2 hours. I guess i wont read this site until ive seen it for spoilers. Look forward to talking about it with you all when Im caught up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 3 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 3 hours ago They gave Mahomes a 30+ yard penalty to aid his first drive, ridiculous. They called a face mask AND DPI on Wright. Then try refuse to call holding on the KC Oline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I'd say KC is on another level. Mahomes has the Aaron Rodgers silckness that we seem to miss. Our run D has holes yet didnt see Jarrett or Billings out there. On Offense, they have to be faster getting the ball out. Having quicker timed patterns because they are not wide-open like last week. Good to get knocked down now so they know they have morenwork to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Defense got abused by KC on those drives with the starters. DL running in quicksand, Nashon Wright getting exposed at CB.... Officiating has been horrible though. KC got away with multiple holds and they were calling every ticky tack thing on the Bears. Offense predictably came back down to earth against the Chiefs #1's. Caleb had a rough go until the final drive against their backups. Botched handoff, took a bad sack on 2nd and 3, and missed a wide open checkdown to Swift in the redzone that would have kept the drive alive that they ended up settling for 3. Good ball placement on the deep throw to Rome on the last drive. Rome has to start coming down with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted 24 minutes ago Report Share Posted 24 minutes ago 2-0-1. I just saw highlights since it wasn’t on in my area but look forward to watching later this weekend once I can see the NFL network recording. Sounds like a slow start by Caleb and some lessons to learn - but they also got some points. Two weeks now to get ready for week 1 and hopefully some more film to reinforce good things but just as much allow the staff to reinforce the things Caleb and team need to keep working on!
