Panic Meter - 1 (not panicked) to 10 (totally panicked) (1 Viewer)

Charles Cross (1st '22)
Abe Lucas (3rd '22)

These 2 solid Starting Tackles on the O-Line for Seattle are injured right now and might not be able to play this coming Sunday

Bad News
QB-Geno Smith
RB-Kenny Walker
WR-DK Metclaf and any other WR you might be thinking of starting right now.

Until this changes, things are not likely to get better

Scale of 1 to 10...solid 8.5 right now

Jason Peters is apparently signing to the Seattle PS.

Tim Kelly Titans OC -1
Looked sooo much like the Texans...which is bad.

Hopkins-10
Burks-6
Chig-1 (discussed all summer)
Henry- 9
Tyjae-8
Tannehill-5
 
Fields - 4
Herbert - 8
Kmet - 7
Bears as a team - 11

I finished the game squarely blaming the Bear's OL (particularly the IOL) and game planning for this loss. After watching the A22 and some more in depth analysis, I still think the game plan was terrible and the OL played at a level worse than anything I've seen in a long time...BUT Fields didn't help the situation. He overlooked quite a few wide open passes and checked down at times he should have thrown the ball in the mid to deep range. As a Bears fan, I hope that Eberflus and Getsy are getting their hind quarters chewed by the front office and are working on both an OFF and DEF gameplan that looks like professionals put it together. IF, and only if that happens, we might get Fields approaching his ceiling.

Roschon will be the lead back before week 5.

Kmet needs to show up.

Granted, they were getting their butts handed to them without prejudice - but all along that sideline it was a lot of long faces with a feeling of 'here we go again - same old Bears'.

DJ's new here, so I get why he might not be comfortable getting vocal. But that team needs a veteran to step up and be a leader, and I'm not sure they have that guy if DJ doesn't step up. (Foreman maybe?)

I know it's easy for me to play armchair quarterback, and I'm sure the team is going to address some of these things in the film room - but you could tell during the second half that (most of) the players couldn't wait for the game to be over so they could leave. You need that leader that gets them focused on getting back out on that field regardless of the score.

One notable exception was Roschon Johnson. That guy ran hard on every touch and every route. When he was on the sidelines he had that look like he couldn't wait to get back out there. Hopefully it rubs off.

As far as the gameplan / Fields goes, I saw a good breakdown on the "All Things QB" YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk5ZQ2epo54) that showed a lot of the struggles that Fields had as well as showcasing some clueless play design - so there was plenty of blame to go around. There were also some HORRIFIC missed blocking assignments, and if Chase Claypool sleepwalks through another game like he did in this one, he'll be out of football in short order. He's in a contract year and he's playing like Abe Vigoda out there.

In terms of the guys on my teams that stunk

Burrow and Higgins- 2. They'll almost certainly figure it out. Combo of rust and bad weather yesterday.
Akers- Have him on BOTH my teams (RB 2 on one and RB 4 on another) and I'm pretty concerned. He obviously got carries but he looked awful and was clearly the 2nd option. panic level 8

Herbert- 5 I'm a huge believer in his running ability but they seem intent on not making him the top option. And fields/the o-line looked really poor yesterday
Kirk- 7 snap count was low and Ridley was clearly the top option. I was expecting that would be the case, but I still thought he'd be viable.

Just one week, but lots of red flags on my rosters. Thank goodness for Tua.
I agree on Kirk. While I knew Ridley would be great, I just thought the chemistry between Lawrence and Kirk would remain. It was great last year. The alarming stat was how many times Jax went into 2 TE sets vs 3 WR sets. With Kirk strictly in the slot it was a problem. Never thought Zay Jones would get more routes/targets. Color me concerned. Probably a 7. Green light game vs KC this week. If he isn't more involved then I may move on for my WR3.

My entire team.... Yikes

Allen-- 5---> Think he will be up and down, scared to make big plays??
G Wilson---> 8/9. Holy ****
London----> 9/10---> hes probably worthless
Bijan---> 5. He will be good but probably not top 5 level with Allgeier scoring 10-15 TDs lol
Waller--->5. Field was wet--> maybe thats why he looked slow?? Either way, didn't look as explosive as the hype/preaeason

I think you need to take a step back. Allen will be fine, Bijan will be great, waller s/b solid. Wilson is great but takes a big step back due to Rodgers but should still be productive. London is the only one I have a ton of concern for...Smith just wants to run, run, run....doesn't matter that they (London/Pitts) have tremendous talent. He's beyond old school in a league of run and gunners.

Guys I would be very worried about are Akers, Swift, London, Pitts, possibly Fields

I literally went to YT and found the same video. A classic!

I was looking for the Abe Vigoda snickers commercial, but the only one I could find was just 5 seconds or less, so I settled for the "For old times sake". Yes, it is classic. I believe I was 13 when I went to the theatre to see the Godfather. It had a lasting impression on me then and still does now. IMO the greatest movie ever made. EVER MADE.
 
CJ Stroud - 3 - Looked pretty good for a rookie’s first start. Our OL was missing 3 starters, but I’m not convinced those guys are significantly better. I worry for CJ running for his life all year and what it could do for his psyche

Dameon Pierce - 4 - A tad more worried here because of the same OL, but also because the WRs looked meh and I expect opponents to stack the box especially now
Stroud was in a tough spot, but I thought he looked fine. He'll come along.

You know who I thought looked really good? Houston's other 1st RD pick. That guy is a wrecking machine.

Will Anderson looked amazing. He tied the record with Nick Bosa and Josh Allen for 6 QB pressures by a rookie playing their first game. He also had a sack, 6 tackles and a stuff.

Thats because he has more lives than a cat. How many times has the man died anyway? 5, 6, 11teen?

All I could picture during that clip was Chase Claypool and Coach Eberflus being led out of Halas Hall by security..."hey, Chase, boss says you need to ride on a different bus than the other players"....Claypool looks around, knows the jig is up.... 'Coach...can you give me one more try...for old time sake'? "Can't do it"....Chase gets on the bus with 'next stop, Carolina'.

That is so good :)
 
List some players and your level of concern or panic for them

1 is not panicked at all. 10 is totally panicked.
