Appreciate it! We are one of the last 20% or so in the county left without power.

Hope you have power back this AM. We were lucky in NMB. Had a max wind gust of about 60 mph, but had a few tornados touch down between 4 & 7 am Thursday. Thankfully no one was hurt, but a few homes were damaged.  This video was taken about an hour before the highest gusts kicked in.

I used to live in Vegas so heard a lot from oddsmakers on local radio. They basically say the best time to make money is the first week or two in the regular season since they can only guess what teams will be like based on prior trends. Of course, they win it all back and then some once they have enough data.

They move the lines constantly to get money on both sides of a bet so I doubt sports books lose money consistently during a certain part of the year.

You can tell that Nagy does not 100% trust Trubisky.  Nagy treats him like Gase treated Tannehill in Miami.  With kid gloves.

So why did he dial of 45 pass plays vs. only 15 running plays? Trubisky poo'd the bed on the final drive, but Nagy poo'd the bed with his play calling all night long.

I support Mitch because he's a heel but I knew from day one that was a risky pick at best and Watson was a much more solid QB. Imagine Watson on that team right now, man they would be really good.

Literally no one in Chicago is wishing they'd drafted Watson. Not with Mahomes having just won the MVP and being picked 8 spots after they drafted Trubisky.

I've said before I'd never touch a quarterback from Andy Reid's system in free agency. Those who have were met with dismal results.

(theoretically, Mahomes could change that but I see zero chance of him hitting free agency)

As far as coaching tree, sometimes it's wise to steer clear of assistants who served under great coaches (Lord knows Belichick's people never succeed anywhere else) but Reid does have a few pupils that have gone on to success; Doug Pederson being the most obvious example.

Ron Rivera is part of Reid's coaching tree too (make of that what you will).

Watson on the Bears right now with that defense is superbowl bound tbh Watson + Cohen + Allen Robinson + David Montgomery + that defense is legit a superbowl team. Bears about to waste another elite defense lol

It felt the same to me. Way too little balance and  somehow Nagy thinks he found a gem in Mike Davis? Lol, some coaches think they’re smarter than everyone. The defense kept them in the game. I just read an article where Nagy said he didn’t help Trubisky and he had to get the running game going. How about using the dynamic guy and not using the 5th year journeyman? It’d be like (to a lesser degree) if we kept CMC on the bench in favor of CAP. Well, except that CAP has a career 0.5 ypr better than Davis and 2.1 ypr better. Davis in 4 years is worse than CAP and Montgomery couldn’t get on the field. SMH. 

Yea and some decisions by Trubisky not to throw to him coming out of the backfield like they didn’t want their rookie stud getting too much credit so early in his career. But he’d throw to Davis in the flats for minimal gains. I’m sure they’ll learn from this one, they will be facing the wrath of disappointed bears fans for a very long week. And Cohen had zero rush attempts after their first play on offense. Way too close of a game to throw away the run.

I’m still scratching my head it felt like Chicago intentionally kept the ball out of their best players hands (Montgomery) and forced to jags like Davis

Montgomery also looked better than Davis on his snaps. Looks like RR isn't the only coach with a preference for vets over more talented rookies, especially early in the year.

Why anyone thought they'd regress is beyond me. Lmao 

Most people who were talking about regression for the Bears D were speaking in context of the number of turnovers they generated last year. A regression there has plenty of historical precedent and should be expected. Also note the Bears D generated 0 turnovers last night.

The issue was not that Davis had more carries than Montgomery.  He actually had fewer carries than Montgomery.  The issue was that neither running back got enough carries, and they threw to much.  Of course, their running game was bad when they did use it, so whose to say they would have been any better had they run it more.  If I counted right, they had a grand total of three runs in the entire second half.  An 8 yard and a 1 yard carry for Davis, and a no gain carry for Montgomery.  And that is it.  If you aren't going to run it, then it doesn't matter much which running back is in the game.  Unless you are throwing it to them, which they didn't.  

 

The penalties, bad throws, to much reliance on the passing game, the int, and dropped passes where what really killed them.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
