honestly, how can you watch this game and be optimistic about anything but getting a top draft pick?
well Joey you've gone and done it again. Once in a great while, I actually agree with you on something.
One thing that you pointed out I do actually agree with concerns penalties in preseason. I don't have any stats to back me up on this, but I do think that teams that commit a lot of penalties in preseason have problems with that which carry over. Look, offenses don't run their regular season offenses in preseason...they just don't. But....if a guy has a tendency to do something stupid and commit a penalty, that can be an ongoing problem. It may indicate something basic wrong with understanding timing, which is more basic than game planning.
Here we go again, people and pre-season. Same bull shit every year. Overreact when the Bears look good in the pre-season, and then they are shit. Then, overreact when they look bad, and they wind up making the playoffs.
I watch the Bears closely every single season. Regular season, pre-season, off-season, post-season, etc... I have never... NOT ONCE... picked up on a correlation with pre-season play, and regular season performance. Never. It is utter nonsense.
By your logic, the team should be able to compete with Indianapolis this season, judging by last week. Who is, by the way, a predicted super bowl contender.
You are taking a sample size of two quarters of football, in which the team did not have any starting WR's in the game... (Not to mention, hardly played Forte, their best offensive player)... Then try and predict that an entire season which hasn't even started yet, is over. Do you understand how ridiculous that is?
The pre-season is NONSENSE. Established veterans only goal, is not to get hurt. PERIOD. The team's show nothing. They are running extremely vanilla offensive and defensive schemes. It is as meaningless as a baseball team's spring training games... but for some reason, the NFL pre-season is built up to actually mean something.
NONSENSE
Only one bad thing happened in THE ENTIRE COURSE OF THAT GAME. Which is, Eddie Goldman suffered a concussion. That is it.
I'll agree with that. Pre-snap penalties can carry over, mechanical flaws with individual players, etc...
However, in the large picture, the team's performance as a whole... first team, second team, etc... It's ridiculous to read into that, at all.
C'mon, you're crazy, why just the other day Genius said, " I question L Houston signing. What an absolute douchebag. Completely debacle of a player. I never seen such idiocy."I actually think Lamaar Houston may benefit the most from the change to a 3-4. I see him being a much bigger factor this year.
