The players looked checked out early in the 3rd, just waiting for it to end.
Exactly, and if you put the kid in don't you think the team would have had a boost? If anything, he gets some experience. I don't see any reason not to play him for the last few series at least. You can still go back to shitty ass Glennon if their hearts desire the next game. Eh, whatever...
I am for switching to Trubisky. But realize that IF you make that switch, and Biscuits struggles, you can't switch back with out completely looking like a laughing stock.
And what are we now....?
That's a very valid point...

With Glennon under center, single high safety defense is a given. No need to blitz because Glennon crumbles at the first sight of any pressure. This offense is beyond awful. Glennon is going to have to change his entire mindset for next week and start stretching the field. LOL good luck wif dat.

It’s week 2 and we’re already looking at 1 ypc and defenders jumping short routes. Throw it, throw it, throw it. If it hits them in the face and bounces away, fine. But you have to try, because this is what the alternative looks like.
This. No guts/no glory, call an aggressive game. I'd much rather go down swinging instead of standing at the plate and hoping for a walk. And that's exactly what we do.

For those saying it's too early to be thinking about the NFL draft, all I can say is we can legit go 0-11 before we face the 49ers on 12/3. Look at the schedule and tell me the Bears can win any of the games in the next 9 weeks:

Sun, Sep 24 vs Steelers
Thu, Sep 28 @ Packers
Mon, Oct 9 vs Vikings
Sun, Oct 15 @ Ravens
Sun, Oct 22 vs Panthers
Sun, Oct 29 @ Saints
Sun, Nov 12 vs Packers
Sun, Nov 19 vs Lions
Sun, Nov 26 @ Eagles
Sun, Dec 3 vs 49ers
Sun, Dec 10 @ Bengals
Sat, Dec 16 @ Lions
Sun, Dec 24 vs Browns
Sun, Dec 31 @ Vikings

Even with Trubisky starting in any of those games, I don't see how this team that played today can win unless they face a team more pitiful than themselves.

Listen, I didn't think the Bears were making the playoffs this year anyways - I predicted 6 wins (at best). This TB game was one of the games I thought we'd win. I hate to say it but when you're a Bears fan, it's never too early to be scouting some talent during the season for the upcoming draft.

I should be getting some deer soon from my usual hunting friend ... that is my favorite game I think ... and this is an easy and very tasty recipe :

I use olive oil instead of canola oil, and I add jalapenos with the onions

I will be at that game. Got tix dirt cheap and they are probably cheaper now. Can't lose $ so will have to go. Only reason for going, youngest made me feel guilty by saying he is the only in the family who had not been to Soldier Field yet. I was a sucker and picked this game for the price and hoped it could be a win. It will be a struggle.

Even if the bears ' play to win now' and put Mitch in under centre, they are still not going to win. No depth, shitty play calling. Im firmly now on the 'Fire Fox' bandwagon after being stoked on the day we brought him in.

Needs some innovative coaching here and its a different league these days.

Innovative coaching......Chicago Bears. Does that really go together? Totally foreign concept.

I think this picture will be indicative of Glennon's whole career in Chicago. All four games of it.

That definitely looks like a more productive use of a Sunday than watching the Bears...but I have to warn you, I'm stabbing someone with a meat fork if they try and put jalepenos in with good meat.

may I suggest fresh-picked wild mushrooms - morels - in lieu of jalapenos
