Da Bears Still Suck - Pregame Chat (Where's Caleb?)

[Pokerbrat2000]

My fear is the new OC opens things up and he is willing to take more chances. Caleb does really well scrambling and improvising and he may have a big game.

I doubt the new OC for the Bears, Thomas Brown, who was their passing game coordinator, will change much as far as the plays the offense runs. Taking into consideration that he was just given the new title on Tuesday and he has a rookie QB, he won't be able to change things up all that much. I guess the nuance it does present for Hafley and the Packers defense, is just how open of a game Brown decides to call. Maybe he comes out in the hurry up and just tries to nickel and dime the Packer defense for long scoring drives.

So the plays won't change much, but the ones he runs and the order which they are run, might make the offense look a bit less predictable. The key will be for Hafley, his staff and especially the players, to be very familiar with the Bears formations and the typical plays run out of them.

The good news, Thomas Brown was the Panthers OC last season, I didn't see him working anything too magical for them.

I'm working out, listening to fade to Black by Metallica and I can't decide if this is getting me pumped for the game on Sunday or if this is going to be the background music to a soldier looking over the battlefield at all his dead comrades....( me looking at the Bears laying down and getting steam rolled)

If the players want Flus fired, it's over.

Punter. Actually, that is the one thing they have, and he only cost them a 4th rounder.

I'm still happy about the pick up with the punter.
Rome, Odunze was the luxury. That pic and the pic after him should've been offensive line.

Oh I know you are @Calebs Revenge
I was just being sarcastic about a Day1 Punter. That wouldn’t happen regardless.

Something that many people may not be aware of. The Packers organization loaned Halas $$ when he was going through financial hardship. Years later, when the Packers were needing to acquire funds for a new stadium, Halas came in before deadline and rescued The Packers by additional funding the project for City Stadium (eventually renamed Lambeau Field)

Also. The Packers organization turned to Halas for his thoughts on a new coaching hire. His recommendation? Vince Lombardi
Vince was known to only refer to 1 man as “Coach”. That man was the one and only George Halas. They had an immense friendship and huge respect for one another. While we as simple fans, myself in particular, use banter and playfully ridicule each other from time to time.. the NFL wouldn’t be what it is today with George Halas and the Staley’s Chicago Bears close and personal partnership with the Green Bay Packers Organization. This is how successful people used to treat each other. The results are conclusive. Honor, mutual respect and dignity when your opponent is down is imperative to long term success. Curly Lambeau and George Halas represented that by their actions. Their love of Professional Football transcended their geographical differences. It’s a good thing or we’d be missing out big time.

Thank You George Halas! …

. I mean.. Coach!

The Packers are +1 All-Time in over 100+ years at Chicago. We need a Win to keep over .500+ on the Road!!

That was the theme song I used on my flyer for a party once. @Pokerbrat2000 that was the “Turtle” party where he was puffing like a Bull and proceeded in Ramming his head through sheet Rock walls while the party crowd cheered him on! Only a poor Country Boy named Turtle from FarmVille VA would be excited about getting attention like that! Him and his bloody forehead did assist me in kicking dozens of teenagers (that were outside raising heck) off my property. Those young kids were immediately scared of Turtle when he came outside yelling at them to leave or else! Turtle made John Belushi look tame
Lol

Carry on..

Yep, our two franchises are in linked forever. For better for worse, you are my nemesis and always will be but if someone from the AFC comes calling they can go pound sand.

 

[OldSchool101]

I’d like to see us do some fun stuff like Wicks throwing that pass.

I’m just watching a recap of game to game highlights. It’s mostly the same players except Aaron Jones instead of Josh Jacobs a little Dillon sprinkled in. Then Musgrave peppered in some nice gains. Aside from that we’ve got mostly the same O unit but man did we look more dynamic last year. We beat the crap out of Detroit in Week 12 AT DETROIT.

I can’t help but think the Packers will open things up again now that Love is rounding out his health. Love had a noticeable bounce in the pocket, he needs to get that back

 

[Poppa San]

it could go either way, and often does.

At least not since MLF took over.

Bud Grant, who was one helluva fisherman, and knew lures as good as anyone, I'd guess.

And a good ole Wisconsin kid.

It seems Bears have told Caleb to be very conservative and not make mistakes in recent games. 460 yds and no TDs or Ints over last 3 games? Sacked 18 times as well. 20 yds rushing over the last 2 games (47 yds against Texans). My fear is the new OC opens things up and he is willing to take more chances. Caleb does really well scrambling and improvising and he may have a big game.

I appreciate your attitude and that you are sticking around.

Let me ask you though, do you wish you had taken Daniel's? Or would it be the same thing and a coaching change is needed?

I rarely feel bad for our opposition's QB but Caleb has hardly had a chance. I think their biggest mistake was throwing him into the fire so soon. Personally I don't know what the Bears saw in Eberflus.

I can't say I have ever liked the Bears, but I do have a grudging respect for them as one of the classic original teams. And as you say, our two franchises are closely linked.

 

[weeds]

The Packers have lost 3 games to teams with a combined record of 22-5. It would be nice if they had pulled out one or two of those - maybe I wouldn't feel so skittish about tomorrow's game.

Agree with you rmontro. Now on the West side of the division, those guys with that Skolololololol chant, not so much.

Not the Bears......Poles.
I have a feeling he might've been told told OK polls can come back, but if it goes to ****, you're both gone.
And then I remembered it's Bears and whatever the wrong decision is that's what they'll do.
Cason point Waldron should've been fired, but flus should've been handed his papers as well.

You should know the Packers proclivity to give young quarterbacks their career day. Last season, the Packers gave up a monster game to Carolina's Bryant Young. He sucked in every other game. Remember Calab Haney? He had his career game against the Packers. The Packers have made struggling quarterbacks look like Joe Montana for at least since 2011. Doesn't matter who the D coordinator is. The only question I have is how much bigger this game will be for Williams compared to the rest of his struggles? O line for the Bears is a problem. Not against the Packers pathetic path rush. They'll also enjoy the pinnacle of their season tomorrow.

 

[OldSchool101]

What gives me some comfort is that the Packers, being such a tremendous youth movement, seem to almost unknowingly overcome many of our patterns from the Rodgers era.
As one example we seem to travel distances better. Rodgers was almost sure to have a West Coast game where we’d just get totally humiliated. I don’t know if it was we were so substantially a veteran roster that we just took too much time off? We were so old that we were just tired after the plane ride? We were so overly confident that we fell into a Turtle and Hare type trap? Idk.

Dude, you need to change your name. Sanguine means cheerfully confident, optimistic. You are anything BUT optimistic this season, about anything. May I suggest Eeyore?

 

[rmontro]

I want to see some of these penalties cleaned up.

 

[OldSchool101]

I’ll second this. A clean game in penalties in itself would help our momentum greatly. Imagine having 2 penalties for 10 yards or something of that sort. It would be highly encouraging.

If I’m Matt I’d give the team a full day off if we commit <=2 penalties OR <= 10 yards. at Chicago. It can be done. Miami led the league as most disciplined last week with 1 for 15 yards. The next best was KC 3-10 yards

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

A common problem in the NFL, rushing your rookie QB into action too quickly. Sometimes it works (See Jayden Daniels), sometimes it doesn't (See last 3 Bears QB's). Why do teams do it? Because they are so desperate to find a top QB, that they aren't willing to wait, while a player who isn't ready to start in the NFL, learns how to play in the NFL, by being a backup for a few years.

I think the Packers have been a very good model of how to develop a young QB in the NFL. Favre probably started faster than they would have liked, but some of that was necessitated by The Majik Man going down. Otherwise, both Rodgers and Love were give 3 years to develop behind a quality QB.

Back to the Bears. Maybe they will have buyers remorse and wished that they had taken Daniels with the #1 pick. Maybe Williams will eventually be a solid NFL QB. I think the underlying theme in Chicago with Turdbiscuit, Fields and now Williams, all 3 were rushed into the starting role, with a very below average 10 other guys playing on offense with them.

Not that I want to help Chicago "figure it out", but until they build a solid offensive line they're doomed to fail. Garbage pass blockers & young QB is a horrible combination. Trubisky never got to his 3rd read as he feared for his life. Williams is trying but leads the league in sacks, so he'll soon get jittery & jumpy as more sacks (minimum 5 today) mount.

Haner(Calab) was a decent back up but that pick to BJ Raji still haunts me. That whole effin game....Cutler....ugggh
