Preseason PSA - Brownshoe - 08-11-2017
Please remember that this is just preseason. Some players are going to look a lot better than they actually are, and some are going to look worse. It doesn't matter if it's the 3rd preseason game or the 4th; they don't matter very much at all. Just remember 2015 when we played Tampa bay and looked like shit in the 3rd preseason game, but had an amazing season until Dalton got hurt. Or when the Lions had a 4-0 preseason and didn't win a game in the regular season. Every year there is major overreaction to preseason.

Agree. Preaseason is for working out the kinks and for guys who might not make the team to get a shot. It's NOT for our starters to make big plays and risk getting hurt.

Very true and you listed some excellent examples. As with every preseason game, I couldn't care less about the final score or how we look overall. All I care about is avoiding injuries. That's it. Just play through the game, and for the love of God play it safe and play it smart.

Got it. Thanks.

I heard Mitch Trubisky was going straight to Canton after the performance last night against 3rd stringers. At least that is what the Bears fans I know said.
RE: Preseason PSA - Go Cards - 08-11-2017
This is practice !
RE: Preseason PSA - The Real Deal - 08-11-2017
So you're saying we are going to the super bowl!?!?!!!!
RE: Preseason PSA - Essex Johnson - 08-11-2017
This year is a bit different than we have had in last few years.. there has been turnover on this team more over the last couple years.. there are a lot of storylines with this preseason that we really have not had much of the last few years..
It has nothing to do with wins and losses.. but no doubt this is evaluation process big time and probably with the limiting the amount of days and time coaches can work with players in offseason now.. preseason as an added element of value .
RE: Preseason PSA - Big Boss - 08-11-2017
Win or lose, this game will prove that the Bengals are winning the Super Bowl this year. I already bet my girlfriend's cat's life on it.

RE: Preseason PSA - McC - 08-11-2017
I just think it's fun to see the new guys. I'm hoping they all get hyped and it's because they went out and excelled.

Sounds like a win-win situation, for you.
RE: Preseason PSA - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 08-11-2017
Very true Brownshoe. As Pat said, excellent examples as well. I remember watching that Bucs game back then
and being very concerned lol. That is how bad we got our asses handed to us. Then like you said went 8-0.
In the end i am with McC and just excited to see the new guys makes some plays in stripes. Not many will be
with us for very long so it will be short lived for many. Want to see how Nickerson plays at MIKE and Landon
Lechler plays at LT as the backup.
RE: Preseason PSA - bengalfan74 - 08-11-2017
Be careful when singing someone's praises when he's facing 2nd and 3rd stringers - Margus Hunt anyone ?
RE: Preseason PSA - bonesaw - 08-11-2017
I'm already over reacting. I'm anxious to see if we can block.... that's it....... if we can block then we're a real life Super Bowl contender. I'm almost positive the Defense is gonna be awesome. I'm positive we're loaded at skill positions. If we can block, we can win it all

You said a lot, as blocking and tackling are fundamental elements of football. The team that blocks and tackles well, is generally going to win a lot of ballgames.

If you want an interesting read, go onto the Bears Instagram page and read the comments on the photos of Trubisky, then the comments on the photo of Glennon!
One pre-season game and he's bringing back the 85' Bears

It saddened me a little.
