ASHKUM BEAR Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago 11 minutes ago, Alaskan Grizzly said: So far Johnson’s hardball approach is giving us undisciplined play: 10 penalties for 108 yards. That’s 1 more yard than they have in total rushing yards (107). These refs are sucking too with some of these calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Where was Montez Sweat, Grady Jarrett, Tremaine Edmunds, Jaquan Brisker to name a few. Embarrassing Great catch by Kmet. Best play so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Grizzly Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago FWIW I like McCarthy. Seems like a solid kid. And to remind us of a quote from Harbaugh: McCarthy is “…an elite competitor and the best quarterback in the draft.” Harbaugh believed McCarthy plays the position better than any other QB in the 2024 draft class. Guess we’ll see. He showed some serious grit tonight and adapted to what was given him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 11 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Obviously the offense needs a lot of work but Jackson and Wright accounted for 50+ yards in penalties that were drive killers. Defense was missing 3 starters so I thought they held up but were out there a lot in the 4th. The refs did them no favors extending multiple MIN drives. Impossible to stop when the refs kept doing it. Santos sucks. Should be cut. Can't believe you watch the opponents Kicker hit a 59 yarder then you miss a 50 yarder and can't kick one out of the end zone. How about our 4th round punter? Wtf he sucks. How do you get worse when all you have to do is kick the ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: and don’t forget Johnson pissed away a TO on that earlier challenge. I honestly still don’t understand that one. Knee on the ground requires contact. This is the NFL not NCAA. And the first contact was to the ball, making it loose. I don’t understand how it wasn’t a fumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago 58 minutes ago, Bears4Ever_34 said: Caleb WIlliams kind of sucks, doesn't he? It's getting harder to ignore how bad he is. I feel the same. Never wanted him. He was amazing in college because he was a superior talent with amazing talent around him, and his opponents were PAC12 garbage. He missed 2-3 simple passes up the middle. Almost overthrew Kmet on another if not for an amazing catch. Looks frazzled like a squirrel in the woods. And the overthrow to a wide open DJ for the win…that’s just unforgivable. Gotta give your #1 guy a chance. He better shake it off quickly, or he’s going to lose the city by mid season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago 2 hours ago, Bears4Ever_34 said: Absolutely brutal OL performance. Dumbest line in football? High school teams are more disciplined than this. This, special teams, bad challenge (loss of timeout was killer) and Caleb missing on some key opportunities was the difference…but the first three items were by far the difference…those don’t happen and we are probably giving talking about a solid first game for Caleb….Ben is going to be pissed, including at himself. Why they didn’t kick it out of bounds was idiotic too. No reason this should have went the way it did at the end either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the offense was pretty terrible, the play calling was like a little girl in a haunted house, the second half run defense was nearly non-existent, the OL had way too many penalties, and Caleb looked far from generational.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Lost in all this bad is the fact that the Bears drafted 3 second round players, and only 1 played tonight and had 1 catch for negative yards. Shemar Turner was a healthy scratch. Unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shemar Turner was a healthy scratch. Unacceptable. This - I still think Poles has been very weak as a talent evaluator. Drafts are still pretty meh and his real hits are Ben Johnson (hopefully this ages well) and the Panthers trade. They look like they drafted a potential starting RT in Trapillo (but they invested a top 10 pick in Wright (who doesn’t look like a top 10 pick - and they opted for him over Jalen Carter). Turner was hurt in camp so I’m hoping this is more they think he needs a bit more time - I sure hope he is flashing though cause they need to hit on a few. Burden looked explosive in preseason so at least for now I’m going to say that pick, while not the position I wanted, at first glance looks like a potential starter.

Stinger226 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Many things to dislike but trying to be rational in my evaluation. Penalties killed drives. Will say a couple of bogus calls by the umps didnt help. Defense looked very good and then seem to run out of gas in the last quarter. Caleb didnt have a good game (IMO). Missed reads and erratic throws. Did well in the beginning and run well but it disappeared at the most important part of the game. (4th quarter) BJ had some mistakes. Santos missed FG was huge. I think everyone said this will take a little time to get going and after this game that is obvious. Very disappointing to give away a victory and losing made it seem like the old Bears but I think BJ will clean it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sums it up perfectly. It's a start and we should have won this game. BJ has to get them to clean up the dumb mistakes and he has to call a more aggressive game. So I'm looking at improvement in the coming weeks before I go off the cliff. But, still, we come out of this as "the same old Bears" in most folks view.

ASHKUM BEAR Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago When you leave points on the field it will catch up. The Bears going for it on 4th when they could have got an easy 3 sent us to bed early disappointed. It could have put them in OT. The Bears need their payroll to show...Jaylon, Gordon, and Edmunds were missed. And wth happened to Wright, he needs to get mean and focused?

adam Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Almost every game comes down to 2-3 plays. Regardless how the rest of the game played out, there was no less than 7 pts lost to terrible officiating. It is one thing to miss a call, it is another to actually impact the outcome of the game with a phantom call, and the Bears had two back-breaking ones in a 5-minute span to start the 4th Quarter. Phantom Holding Call on Wright = -3 or -7 pts (Bears would've had the ball at the 12, led to a missed FG) Phantom DPI on Stevenson = -4 pts (next play was a TD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
