Bears & NFL Talk 69

[piteus]

Daniel Jones having a nice debut, 336 yards, 2 TDs passing and 2 running

He actually looks pretty good. Good composure in the pocket. However, having watched him at Dook, he is Jay Cutler like. He is turnover prone.

Let's not forget, Trubisky also threw for 6 TDs against Tampa. NFL defenses will adjust like they did to Mitch and Baker. Then the QBs have to readjust.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

Bears offense needs to come out and make a statement tonight. Whatever happened to the great starts of scripted plays? I'm nervously excited for tonight's game. It would do Mitch's confidence wonders to play well on national TV.

By the way, MNF really has some stinkers this year...

-Jets v. Browns last week
-Bears v. Washington tonight
-Bengals v. Steelers, Dolphins v. Steelers, Pats v. Jets all coming up

A should win game that I'm not confident in is winning.

Joy....

I generally try to be pretty level headed and not overact to early season results. But tonight feels as close to a must win for a 1-1 team that I can remember, given the rest of the division and the uneasiness about the offense thus far.

Agree completely. Need to be sitting at 3-1 after 4.

I’m expecting 2-2. Vikings had an early game yesterday, and we have a road MNF game. Next week is going to be tough.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

Kirk Cousins though...

I had the Vikes and Oakland game flip flopped in my mind

 

[RayP]

Kirk Cousins though...

Week 1 - 10 pass attempts.
Week 2 - 32 pass attempts.
Week 3 - 21 pass attempts.

You gotta shut their run down and put the ball in his hands. Absolute must.

Usually, the team that plays a MNF game gets to play at home the next Sunday. The less travel day kind of even out the less day to prepare. That said, it's never easy playing the next Sunday after Monday Night. The key is Kirk is the QB for the Vikings. He is the nicer version of Jay Cutler. Regardless, like you said, it will be a tough game. If the Bears stop their zone blocking running game, we will win.

If any team can shut their run down, it would be the Bears, IMO. To this point, the Bears are allowing an average of 68.5 rushing yards per game. That's 10 yards less than their average on the season last year.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

If we merely had a mediocre offense, I'd be confident in starting 4-0 this season with competition in front of us and with our defense.

As it stands now, I'll take 2-2.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Week 1 - 10 pass attempts.
Week 2 - 32 pass attempts.
Week 3 - 21 pass attempts.

So if you make him play QB you know you can win , Sounds like another QB we all know

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Already ruled out for next week

Honestly Allen looked pretty damn good the kid plays like that again and takes Panthers to .500 and I don't think Ron can just give the job back to Cam given his job is on line and Cam looks done

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

 

[piteus]

We know he's sucking. The entire Bears thread has been about Trubisky for the most part.

But according to @TheSting Cam isn't hurt or hasn't been playing hurt at all!

just not elite enough lol...

 

[HeisenBaez]

Washington defense is pretty bad so far, giving up 455 yrds/game and 31.5ppg. So if Trubisky and the Bears cannot find their offense and win against Washington, my anxiety level will skyrocket about the Bears.

Besides the Bears have lost 7 straight (and 13 of 15 since 1989) against the Washington NFL Franchise, so that needs to change.

ESPN MNF crew just ripping open the gaping wound with this Watson/Mahomes/Trubisky discussion

if jock itch mitch struggles all year, bears need to just cut their losses and not waste next season as well. Go out and sign Kaepernick, he can be had for cheap

 

[Bedarded]

If O'Donnell goes down, what do?

 

[clydesdale line]

If O'Donnell goes down, what do?

Will likely be going for it most of the game (4th down, 2 point conversion). Tarik is a pretty decent kicker from the Bears YouTube channel.
