OT: Bears & NFL Talk 103

[Romang67]

Why can't they start this way the 1st half of games?

Honestly, great question. Nothing works in the first quarter or half in basically every game. Williams looks off, the O-line does a bad job, the run game doesnt work.

The defense relies on turnovers too.

Cole Cement

 

[ClydeLee]

Good boost of speed by Colin Blackwell but he didn't need to run out of boards...

 

[GIADF]

There weren’t defenders within 5+ yards in that Purdy highlight reel.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Brown doesn’t get the play in quickly and they give Shanny a chance to challenge. Just amateur hour.

Really terrible coaching awareness there. And bad throw by Caleb

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Long drives are fine by they are down 18. Need quick scores

That’s on Caleb. Not good

 

[GIADF]

Well that just sucks.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Wide open receiver, heard that a lot this afternoon.

 

[Romang67]

Wide open receiver, heard that a lot this afternoon.

Heard that a lot this season.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

The Bears LB Corps absolutely sucks. Edmunds was a terrible signing

 

[TLEH]

New coach bump

 

[Fortyfives]

Purdy is okay it’s a miracle!

 

[ClydeLee]

Why did they not challenge that, the wr dropped the ball

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Absolutely horrible defensive performance today. Every part of it was terrible.

 

[Romang67]

Not gonna win a lot of games scoring 20+ points fewer than you allow.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Vilma calling out the WR for not getting open.

Thomas Brown's playcalling has been garbage. Long developing routes ala Waldron.

His HC dreams lasted one quarter.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Trash both lines in the off season.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

We saw all of the bad things we did with Flus, just without the bad end of game management (because it didn't matter). A very very bad showing for Brown.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Vilma calling out the WR for not getting open.

Thomas Brown's playcalling has been garbage. Long developing routes ala Waldron.

His HC dreams lasted one quarter.

He's still running Waldron's offence. Just not as extensive, as Waldron had Caleb trying to navigate the offence like he was a 5 year veteran.

 

[ndgt10]

Braxton Jones is ass

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Is Jonathan Biles really doing a little dance after making that pick in scrub time down by 30 when the D has absolutely been destroyed!

 

[Romang67]

He's still running Waldron's offence. Just not as extensive, as Waldron had Caleb trying to navigate the offence like he was a 5 year veteran.

Yeah, they aren't changing the scheme in the middle of the season.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

He's still running Waldron's offence. Just not as extensive, as Waldron had Caleb trying to navigate the offence like he was a 5 year veteran.

Yeah, but it looked a bit better the last couple of games with shorter developing plays and the ball getting out quick. This was a major step back outside of one drive.

 

[Pez68]

Why can't they start this way the 1st half of games?

I have a theory. Their coaching staff is utter trash, and they don't gameplan or prepare properly for their opponent. They end up down almost every game, and then switch to a hurry-up offense where most of the play calling is improvised, or the QB is directing the offense. I don't know if this is even remotely accurate, but it's my theory.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I still can't get over that play. The Bears D gave up 38 including 300 yards of offense in the first half and Owens is showboating after a pick. Just wow.

This team is so much more than a coaching staff away. D line is bad, not sure about Brisker's future, Stevenson needs to be replaced. LB corps is terrible. And that's just on the defensive side of the ball.
