Rip to the best linebacker ever

 

[Ben Grimm]

Rip to the best linebacker ever

I'm biased towards him but he's definitely top 3 with Lambert and another guy. He's my all-time favorite defensive player.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Major RIP. Illini and Bears legend.

Dick Butkus will always be the definition of the middle linebacker in the NFL.

Dick Butkus will always be the definition of the middle linebacker in the NFL.

There's even an award named for him.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Whole panel in pre-game is picking Washington except one. Bears win confirmed.

 

[Pez68]

Two big plays from Fields to Moore, and Bears up 7-0.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Yeah, I'm sold. Jenkins should stay at LT. Sorry Jones.

 

[Romang67]

Fields getting sacked so Moore could get more than 75 yards in a drive starting on the 25. Good guy.

 

[hawksrule]

Great defensive play by Billings.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Billings has been good this year

 

[Pez68]

A WR screen that worked??

 

[hawksrule]

Fields is getting great protection. Maybe Washington sucks.

 

[ChiHawks10]

f*** it, I say they go for it here. You're 0-4. Nothing to lose.

 

[Pez68]

I don't know how getting 1 yard isn't automatic with a Fields sneak... He's a huge QB.

 

[Romang67]

Don't kick it on a 4th and 1 from there. Worst case scenario, you turn it over on down, and they're in garbage field position. Coward.

 

[Scottkmlps]

It's early, should've went for it.

 

[belfour30]

Fields looks like a completely different guy the last 2 games. Decisive and calm in the pocket.

I need to see more, but I am not discounting the possibility that the light came on for him.

 

[hawksrule]

Do the second and third round d-tackles even play? It just occurred to me that I haven’t noticed them even once this season.

 

[Romang67]

Hold on. Was that technically a sack? Did he get back to the line?

 

[Mrfenn92]

They do rotate in. Tough position for rookies to succeed at. Besides Carter from Philly it seems.

 

[hawksrule]

Moore is good.

 

[Pez68]

To add to that, when your depth is as bad as the Bears, you can't really afford to rotate those guys in very often.

 

[Romang67]

Dexter got a fair number of snaps in the first 3 games. Fewer in the 4th for some reason (more obvious pass plays, maybe?)
