The weakest part of this team continues to be defense, that will determine if we make the playoffs.
The offense will score 20 to 25 points a game, except against Ravens and Browns.

Like I said, live it sure looked like contact by newton with his hand prior to the stumble. The view I’m thinking of was from the right side of the field looking towards the play. Regardless, he got beat on the play and for 3 other big plays. Newton is the 5th corner and a rookie so it’s not a huge deal. He’s looked good for the most part this preseason and in camp. Setbacks are great learning opportunities. Overall how could you not come away impressed with our backups playing the whole 1st half against the bears starters and only giving up 10 points? The second half teaches us fans nothing as we are looking at a lot of players that won’t make the team. Punter looked good and special teams. Woodside is a practice squad candidate at best. These games are great to learn about who is going to make/not make the team but that’s it.

Coaches getting to assess a lot of the punting situation this game. So that another positive I guess.

Tim you are not that great of a football analyst so I guess it doesnt matter if you are impressed. Only 53 will make it, you didn't see over half of them. Of those we did see: Lee and Kirkland looked good on the oline. All and McLachlan had nice catches. Burton looked good on returns and had a big catch. Cedric Johnson looked good. Jenkins had a sack Meta is a human hit stick Newton made some good plays. 2nd team defense had multiple 3 and outs vs Bears #1 offensive unit. A knowledgable observer could see many bright spots today.

Well, it started good anyway.

I haven’t heard anything about any injuries this game. That is huge. That’s the most important part of pre-season games. Some would say it’s the only important part.

How many times did we score 30 more, not that many over the years. Especially against AFC north division rivals, hardly ever.

The 2nd half has been bad, but I will add that the Bears were forced to play their #1s way too long AND this is the 3rd PS game for the Bears.
We need ONE guy per position group to be promising for us to have quality depth. |
