Week 1 Game Thread

[ifmanis5]

I still can't wrap my head around the Pats hanging their SIXTH Super Bowl banner. Since for most of my life I didn't believe they'd ever have one.

Really can never be said enough.
Worst ownership/stadium combo in the league and a total laughingstock. They were the fourth team in town for so long. Amazing turn around.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Do they let the kid kick one from 50 yarder? Make it a 1 point game?

Nope.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

God the Bears are horrible

 

[DanoooME]

If you're going to go for it on 4th down, why aren't you taking a handful of yards to set it up?

Matt Nagy (and/or Trubisky) is dumb.

 

[Helmet Head]

The bears WR situation is a disaster. They have no one.

 

[Kliq]

Trubisky is in his third season, that second delay of game is inexcusable. How did this guy make the pro bowl last season? He must have been the 10th choice.

He was pretty good last year, specifically in the second half of the season. That said, the book could be out on him now and defenses have him figured out.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

and they pull him out for Cohen, who is not good.

Huh? Cohen isn't a lead back by any means but he's a dynamic offensive weapon.

Once you get past the Super Bowl participants and the injuries, I assume that 75% of the league can call themselves a Pro Bowl selection.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Rogers looks like the 20th best qb in the league at best.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

If someone pulled Brady down a split second late like that takedown of Rodgers I'd be pretty pissed.

 

[cshea]

So the Packers offense appears to still be Rodgers hero ball.

Congrats on picking these two teams for your opener, NFL. Can't wait for the "13-3 Super Bowl followed by this opener" narrative tmw.

Ya, ‘is the offensive explosion over’ clickbait is coming

The popular pun will be "I thought the Alliance of American Football folded months ago?"

 

[shoosh77]

This Bears team could be something if Josh and Tom headed there next year. But that ain’t happening.

 

[Kliq]

The Bears traded up to take Mitchell Trubisky in a draft that had DeShaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes.

 

[bigq]

Holy shit I think I hate the NFL. I don't know why I've turned on it so quickly and maybe I'll change over the course of the year. But I find myself just sneering. Not even sure why.

There is a lot about the NFL that is easy to dislike including tonight’s game.

 

[SoxinSeattle]

The Pat's wont win every year yet they are light years better than every team

 

[cshea]

Lit that timeout on fire.

 

[Reverend]

The popular pun will be "I thought the Alliance of American Football folded months ago?"

Which part is the pun?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Green Bay's LCB is impressive.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Which part is the pun?

The punny part

 

[rymflaherty]

I don’t understand how replays that have to be indisputable to overturn take so long...If you’ve looked at every angle and you’re not sure, it isn’t indisputable. You don’t need a 3rd or 4th minute at that point.

 

[DanoooME]

Al: "The Bears are starting to self-destruct here"

Starting?

 

[ifmanis5]

Coming back.

 

[thehitcat]

First and Forty sums this game up perfectly.

 

[Kliq]

My roommate is a Bears fan, it’s pretty rough for him right now.

 

[shoosh77]

This is putrid football

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Hey Chris, how many drops did the Bears have last season?

They revamped that wide receiver room, huh?

 

[bigq]

What does the playbook for 3rd and 40 look like?

 

[thehitcat]

We need a Flacco to bail the Bears out.

 

[DanoooME]

Trubisky isn't very good, but his receivers are not helping him at all.

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

I don't think I have ever seen 1st & 40, even in a video game.

 

[ifmanis5]

And here come the pretzels...

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I don't think I have ever seen 1st & 40, even in a video game.

Only three times in the past 22 years it seems.

 

[mwonow]

My gamecast feed just had Chi at 1st & 40. That's gotta be a misprint, right?

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

BB would have had Trubisky punting on 3rd and 40.

 

[DJnVa]

Yes, NFL, this is much better than Pats/Steelers. You got a 1920s style football game. Well done.

 

[BornToRun]

I don't think I have ever seen 1st & 40, even in a video game.

That’s because, in a video game, it’s 4th & 40 and they’re going for it.

 

[ilol@u]

This game is doodoo. Patriots/Steelers would have been fun.

 

[DanoooME]

2 safeties for the tie, Bears

 

[Kliq]

And here come the pretzels...

This makes me laugh every time.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I hope Al is just shaking off the cobwebs because I’m getting hints of late career Summerall.

 

[DJnVa]

I was told that Aaron Rodgers was going to show everyone this year that he is the best QB in the league now that McCarthy is gone.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Just to be clear, the Bears didn't have a 1st or 2nd round draft pick this year (and they have no 1st or 3rd round pick next year because of Khalil Mack). They then traded up 12 spots to get David Montgomery, who by all accounts, looked great in the preseason, and they've given him 6 carries for 18 yards, and 1 catch for 26 yards, and they have 3 points in this game?

That's just...well, not good.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

JK Scott is the MVP of this game.

And Tarik Cohen with zero carries.

 

[thehitcat]

At least they have their health...and well I guess a kicker...

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Would love to see the Bears win this game on a pick 6 of Rodgers.
