Bears & NFL Talk 68

[No Fun Shogun]

Fun game.

And now for part two of the doubleheader. I swear, there should be two games every Monday night and not just the opener.

Yeah two Monday night games is awesome

 

[CPHawksFan]

Nice throw there

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Carr and Williams have great chemistry it seems

Josh Jacobs with first career NFL TD

What a leap

Raiders looking good in every facet of game this half

Not quite the gong show as predicted.

Not quite the gong show as predicted.

It is early and I don’t think the Broncos are that good.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

They have talent to be 7-9 win team

I have them going 8-8

I’d like to see them do well. They have dealt with enough

Raiders look pretty solid. Broncos not so much. I thought Broncos could be a sleeper this year, but so far they look bad. Surprising, at least to me on both counts. Early days though.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

McManus short on 64 yd FG attempt

Just missed it

From 63 that probably is good , At very least hits the bottom of upright and who knows with bounce factor

 

[clydesdale line]

So Joe Flacco has turned into a check down QB now?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

To be fair his OL is getting abused by Raiders and he has Raiders in his face or chasing him on almost every throw

 

[clydesdale line]

Flacco finally throws a ball beyond 20 yards. He only had one pass beyond 20 prior to that play.

Broncos offense looking much better this half so far.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good stand by Raiders D in redzone

14-3 now

 

[Illinihockey]

Joe Flacco has been toast for a few years now.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

Didn't watch most of the game but the Broncos did not look good at all from what I saw. Needs to be a win for the Bears next week.

 

[Sir Loin]

Man, The Raiders would be on the scary side if they still had Mack and Brown.

I’d like to see them do well. They have dealt with enough

I would too, I hate that the team is leaving Oakland.

It's hard watching these teams other score after that Bears effort vs the Pack. Gotta open up a can on Denver this upcoming week.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Looks like this thread went to bed at halftime like me

Denver sucks, would be a very bad loss now.

I still can't get over the defense at the end of the Saints game. What was Houston doing?

Both teams played awful. All New Orleans had to do was play coverage and make them dink and dunk down the field and somehow they let them go 75 yards in 2 plays. Then Houston needing to get hold them let Brees throw into soft zone coverage and move them into field goal range in 3 plays.

yeah, Watt did the end of game press conference and he couldn't answer what happened either..that was just brutal. yes it is Brees, but come on that was embarrassingly bad..

Last night, you saw the difference between Watson and Trubisky. They are both great athletes. And contrary to belief, Watson isn't always accurate which was a concern coming out of the college. That said, look how Watson calmly moves in the pocket and steps into his throws. Most importantly, Watson can find his second and third receivers when his primary is covered. That is the difference between Trubisky and Watson ... and that makes all the difference in the world.

The biggest concern with DeShaun Watson is what happened with Andrew Luck. Is his body going to last more than 7-8 years?

I still can't get over the defense at the end of the Saints game. What was Houston doing?

I think Houston was going to okay with giving up a 58 yard field goal for the win. In hindsight, it was a terrible decision. That said, the odds were with Houston.

The Saints did the opposite and pressed Houston the series before. In hindsight, that was terrible too. Houston scored on 2 plays.

Sometimes you tip your hat to great plays and awesome quarterback play. As Bears fans, we wouldn't know.
