Week #2 General 🏈 Discussion


RaidersAreOne

Recommended Posts

Starting LT Trent Brown and backup rookie guard (who played every snap in Week 1 for Michael Onwenu) are in concussion protocol. 

Week 2 vs Miami could be missing both starting guards, the second string guard, and starting tackle. Calvin Anderson played RT after being on PUP for all of camp. Day 3 rookie Antoni Mafi started at LG. Center David Andrews might be the only player this week that has more than a season’s worth of experience…

The Vikings and Eagles on Thursday night is a battle of two teams with injury problems. With Minnesota, it's the offensive line in particular that's banged up.

Commanders at Broncos is a match-up between two head coaches that were both obscure Chicago Bears players {LOL}.

Browns at Steelers on Monday night is on ABC -- a throwback to the old days when MNF was on that network every week. The difference is that it is opposite an ESPN game.

I couldn't find the tidbits thread, so I will post this here. If you are a Texans fan, take note of several of their players that have recently changed uniform numbers.

There's literally already media talk in Chicago about firing the entire staff, after just week 1...

It was that ugly.. and it wasn't just one thing, it was basically nearly everything. The run game was ineffective, Fields missed a ton of throws in the passing game, the defense made Jordan Love look like Aaron Rodgers, the coaching was atrocious on both sides of the ball, and our hands worst players where all FA additions by the GM, one of whom we spent pick #32 on.

Week 2, we play Tampa Bay.... and week 3 we play KC (which should have Chris Jones and maybe Kelce back)

Basically, this game could very well be the Superbowl for Justin Fields and the entire Bears staff..... The torches and pitchforks are already out after a single loss (albeit one of the worst losses I've ever seen this franchise take in 35 years, and every other time they got smashed like that, the coaches where fired at the end of the season).... and Tampa is our best shot to avoid opening the year 0-3.

Come on down, and watch the Bears fight for their lives, careers, and very future.... or alternately come on down and warm yourself by the dumpster fire, and roast some marshmallows, because a bad loss here puts us in pretty serious consideration for a full on tank-a-thon for Caleb Williams. Whatever way it goes, it's sure to be a show!

Pick 2 (Stroud) and Pick 3 (Will Anderson) vs Pick 4 (Richardson).

Have we ever seen that before?

Nope. The only two times that came to mind that teams took two players that highly were the colts in 92 QBs Washington in the early 2000s. 

Washington had picks 2 and 3 and did play Baltimore who had pick 5

I been watching since 1992, teams are defending the deep ball the last 2 years better than I can ever remember. I don’t seen nearly as many coverage busts downfield as I did 5-10 years ago. 

Teams are making it an emphasis to not get beat deep and play everything over the top and force teams to go on long drives.

... and then there's Seattle...
