Some strange fans here

Can u show me one link anywhere that says the Bears actually schemed for this game? I can't find one. And don;t tell me it was obvious.

:fire: Who cares? It dosn't change the fact that this was a completely meaningless game. The only reason they keeps score is apparantly so rabid fans like yourself can make apocalyptic predictions about the regular season based on a game that noone on the Dolphins cared about. The preseason is for individual players to try their best to make the team and to iron out mistakes, not for winning games.
 
If this had been a regular season game you would have seen a gameplan executed by a Vet QB like Frerotte designed to burn the bears when they blitzed.

Relax people.
We didn't do anything last night for several reasons.
1. we did not have enough time for the offense to practice blitz pick ups in 1 1/2 weeks Simple blitz yes but a 9 man blitz with the corner coming up the middle NO. NOT TO MANY TEAMS IN THE NFL COULD PICK THAT UP IN THE 1st Preseason game.

2. The run game looked weak because the Bears had 8 in or around the box at the snap of the ball. Minter #30 the starting safty was the leading tackler with 4 and 2 TFL's. I saw him make at leat 3 tackles at the line or be hind the line therefore we blocked 7 it is up to the OC to call plays to get the safty from the line of scrimmage. He did but we could not get the safty from the box because of the blitz that we where facing. (See #1 for further details). Lst time I checked you block 7 on a run play and you should get 3 -5 a pop. This is a good thing.

3. Defense ALWAYS out play ofrfense at the begining of the season. Don't matter highschool / college / Pewee / NFL. That is just the way it is. The offense is timing defense id reaction. 1 week and 1/2 of practice...... = no timing.

4. PLAIN AND SIMPLE ----WE NEED 2 CORNERS 1 starter and 1 as a nickle / DIme guy. Howard / Daniales / and eny other guy that played last night willnot cut it. QB's will have carrer days on us if that is not fixed.

I agree with almost everything you said, but its a little early to write off Daniels after one game, I actually saw him make some good plays.

Howard will be fine as a nickle/dime CB.. he's not going to get cut or anything like that. We do need a #2 corner but I think our safties will be alright.

Man, I'm going to start charging you for these football lessons soon. This is getting old.

The Bears were blitzing early and often. They had their best player in the game late in the first quarter and sent him on an all out blitz. If you couldn't see that they were trying WAY too hard, you really need to watch the game again. They wanted to win, we wanted to evaluate players.

It's obvious.

Great thread. :cool:



I feel that we did not get to see much of our starting rotation. We did get a chance to see some good things. Jamar Martin looks great at full back.:cool: Our receivers look very promising, and we didn’t see very much of Chambers or McMichael. Frerotte, Rosenthal, and Berlin looked good. Without that late pick, I would have to say Berlin stole the show. We have a ridicules amount of talent on defense, once they learn, and become comfortable with the new system they will be a dominant force.:fire: I do not want to make any prediction on the O line until later in preseason.

I’m predicting a 10-6 record.

Who is this man you speak of? Rosenfels?

But...but we lost a preseason game...A PRESEASON GAME!!!!! Don't you see? It's the end of our season! All the players I hate played bad and all the players I like could do no wrong! But we still lost a meaningless preseason game! I'm changing my season prediction from 14-2 to 0-16...just because we lost this game!

:lol:

You know, earlier in the year when we all were predicting records and I gave a 4-12 opinion and most siad 8-8, I though it strange

Now we heve people saying they'd kill themselves if AJ starts, RW is gonna suck, doom, doom and more doom. I think it just as strange.

There is not one player or coach for that matter that is not learning a new system. JT is learning, ZT is learning, Saban is learning. The waterboy is learning. Everybody is learning at this first preseason game. They've only been practicing for what 2 weeks?

In contrast, the Bears vet's are not completely learning new system. It's the same as last year. The tasks of these two teams are different right now.

The team that opens the season will be alot different than this one. How can you expect anything different as we blend coaches, rookies and vets together into a whole new system?

I was encouraged by alot of things i saw last night and found the biggest worry to be the secondary. But also worried about that before last nights game. Schulters will help but been here what a week? I think we'll impove here too but may still be too big of weakness.

Liking overall what i saw, even when AJ got sacked, Carey followed that play though and knocked that guy away from feeley. If no blitzer was coming up the middle there would have been no sack. I came from that game with higher expectations, not to much higher yet!!!. New prediction 5-11.

Judge the progress each week, The last preseason game will be much different than the first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AMEN- I agree whole heartidly
