Please use " receivers". Still trying to determine if a real one existswaterworld said:I'm not sure I want Trubisky playing with this group of receivers.
The defense do play well overall but that means crap when they allow a severe screw up like letting a player go down the field uncovered. I'm not solely blaming the defense for the loss, just saying it has to be accounted for. It would be stupid to blame just the defense, just like it would be stupid to blame just the coaches.Allowed 23 points to Atlanta and you're pointing out a couple plays from the defense as a huge reason for the loss. Not all the stops the defense had all day. And not all the offensive ineptitude and poor qb play. A competent performance from a qb and we win that game. Blaming it on the defense or OL is deflection away from the main problem. The qb
This. He catches that ball and Glennon magically goes from being to blame for everything to engineering a 4th quarter win. Howard's brick hands should be catching at least as much grief as Glennon.To be fair, Howard needs to catch that ball at the 1. Giraffe put it right on him. No excuse for taking his eye off the ball.
Bellamy should have caught that ball before Howard too although it was a more difficult catch to make. The one thing I thought about with Howard's drop was it seemed like Glennon's pass was way too slow. It's like Howard was just there waiting for it and was anticipating the hit coming. Maybe I remember it wrong but I feel like Glennon could have zipped that in there a little faster. Regardless, Howard HAS to catch that.This.

You're right. Howard should've caught that ball. Big mistake. If Glennon hadn't been helpless for three quarters, it wouldn't have mattered, though. I'll leave it alone now. Trubisky will be in soon enough.This. He catches that ball and Glennon magically goes from being to blame for everything to engineering a 4th quarter win.

Bellamy lost us multiple games last year because of dropped passes. It's my mind boggling why they brought him back. Guess what. He dropped another one at a critical time. Easy to predict these things.Bellamy should have caught that ball before Howard too although it was a more difficult catch to make.

He should have caught that TD pass but I will defend him a little, that was not an easy catch to make. I'm not sure there was any other WR on the team that was going to make that catch either.Bellamy lost us multiple games last year because of dropped passes.

Yeah, I thought I remembered another guy dropping a pass, too, but Howard's was the most egregious, IMO. And yes, I thought the same thing about ball speed, but he didn't know when Howard was going to turn around. Don't want to bounce it off his back...Bellamy should have caught that ball before Howard too although it was a more difficult catch to make.

Yeah, Glennon kind of welcomed that sack.This is Glennon's pocket on the final play. https://t.co/qmPsDWlUcf
Welcomes a couple of them. Adam said it in the next tweet. The Bears are paying Glennon 16 million and should hold him to a high standard.Yeah, Glennon kind of welcomed that sack.
Your post became invalid when you used Brady and Garoppolo as a reference point. Don't play the better qb because "we aren't the Super Bowl this year" is just terribly thought out. Still haven't seen any "football" reasons Glennon should be playing over Trubisky.Something else to keep in mind. This was the first game in true live action that Glennon has had and the team game planned for. They made adjustments at halftime and got markedly better. Not only the first game for him, but the first game of the year.
I guess Tom Brady should be benched for Garappolo. Brady went 16-36 for 267 and zero TD's. Glennon went 28-40 for 213 and 1 TD. Plus the Patriots lost by 15 points.
Imagine if Glennon and the Bears can build on what they did in the second half. I think too many of you (mostly Flapgree) are just trying to advance the agenda of starting Trubisky. You're failing to see the forest through the trees.
I know Glennon may not be the long term solution and that Trubisky may well be. But, it's been said over and over, we aren't winning the Super Bowl this year, so what does it hurt to bring the rookie along slowly.
So the fact that this was the first game of the year counts for nothing? My Brady reference was to show that the first game of the year is an adjustment for every player. Even a hall of fame qb. It is also fact that Glennon improved the further along he went in the game. Should he continue that improvement, then doesn't he deserve to start.Your post became invalid when you used Brady and Garoppolo as a reference point.

Glennon being paid huge money. You give him 3 more games to show he's worth it, while not running the offense like you're protecting your qb. If he doesn't show he can help you win, off to the bench he goes. They didn't make Trubisky 2nd string if Glennon wasn't on a short leash. No more training wheels and excuses for Glennon. Earn the money
That's pathetic. Unacceptable.Bears' run-pass ratio on Sun. (19 runs, 44 dropbacks), it was 19-16 heading into 4th qtr.
Don't think I heard his name once.flapgreen said:And where in the hell was Floyd yesterday? All I heard was how powerful and dominant he became during offseason. Invisible
Floyd was on the field plenty and played well. The did not have him pressure the QB often but instead had him dropping back into coverage.flapgreen said:And where in the hell was Floyd yesterday? All I heard was how powerful and dominant he became during offseason. Invisible

He actually played some solid pass defense.
Gentry had the best preseason of all the WRs. I believe he is known as more of a deep threat and is pretty good and making plays on those deep passes. A great example was of Trubisky throwing a deep ball to him for a TD in, I believe, the third preseason game. I'm happy they put him back on the roster.Whats the deal on Gentry, is he a Cameron Meredith in the making?
Only if Trubador gets in there. Giraffe hasn't worked with him much. Word on the street is he was placed on the practice squad because of needing to improve his route-running, so he's mainly a "go deep" guy now.Whats the deal on Gentry, is he a Cameron Meredith in the making?
Argghhh that sucks. Seriously, Freeman is a beast, and runs that defense.Freeman to IR with pec injury. Devastating to the defense. Freeman and Hicks are the heart and soul of this D. There goes that top D
When I said that this team will be lucky to win more than 6 games or that this defense is not a too 10 defense, it's because injuries and depth are a huge factor.The #Bears had 12 players land on IR in 2015, 19 in 2016 and 7 already in 2017. A whopping 38 under John Fox's tenure so far.
How does that compare to the rest of the league? Without knowing that it's pretty much meaningless. I know it seems like a lot but I have no idea if it's more than the average.The #Bears had 12 players land on IR in 2015, 19 in 2016 and 7 already in 2017.

Looking at this http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/injured-reserve/ they seem to be more or less in the middle for this year.How does that compare to the rest of the league? Without knowing that it's pretty much meaningless. I know it seems like a lot but I have no idea if it's more than the average.
That's incorrect. Already over 10 this year. They've released multiple players off of IR that aren't listed there. 19 last year. It's far over the league average.icecat4270 said:Looking at this http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/injured-reserve/ they seem to be more or less in the middle for this year.
How long is he going to hold up with 20 touches a game? Aren't you the one complaining about the injuries too? What would you say if they gave it to him that often and he got hurt too?#Bears OC Dowell Loggains on why Tarik Cohen wasn't on field more at end vs ATL: "He's not ready to handle the burden of everything now."
Touched ball 16 times during game.
Can it really have been five years?Urlacher announced on the HOF ballot this year, of course. I really miss seeing him play.
