My guess would be that it looks somewhat like last week, but:

Flacco is better than 1-legged Bradford
The Bears can't score 9 pts on defense and ST

Ravens 24
Bears 10

Having Trevathan back is huge. Our defence is pretty good even without the turnovers. I'm trying to think now, I don't recall too many glaring interception drops? I know it's been going on a long time but this year I think we've been a little unlucky that opposing offences haven't thrown any gimmies our way.

As for tape on Trubisky, I don't think 30 mins is going to make all that much difference. Later in the season definitely but it isn't much of an issue yet.

I think our offense is going to score more than last week but our defense will not get us any points this week.

Ravens - 27
Bears - 17

Probably enough tape that the Ravens will have DEs or LBs spying for rollouts and ready to come down and knock the shit out of Trubs when he gets outside the tackles.

I'd wager that rolling him out wasn't a secret before last week either. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

Bingo. Now we need other options to keep rollouts effective but that's little to do with the tape on Trubisky.

A agree with John Harbaugh on the roughing play. What is a DL supposed to do?

Uneven start for 10. His receivers can't get open worth a shit, to be fair.

Looks a lot like last week. Defensive punt fest so far. No real surprise though. I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Tanner Gentry actually got the start.

On that last defensive series, they subbed Houston-Carson in at S as he was on the blitz.

Wow. Tanner Gentry open for a big gainer. Biscuit missed it by a mile.

Wow. Bizarre play on punt. #15 didn't see the fair catch signal and starts to make the tackle and stops when the whistle blows. (I didn't either, but it must've happened or no whistle.) That has to be a penalty, even if he stops. Break for the Bears.

Had a guy uncovered in his face. He threw it away.

Not to defend him too much. He's been shit today.

Dowell Loggains ain't coming back next season. He's been awful.

0-0 at end of first quarter punt party. Bears D is playing as well as the Raven's D or better. Bears O looks better than Raven's O, but Biscuit has missed 2 throws open for significant gains that would've made a difference.

To be fair, they called it correct according to rule. Just bad rule.

Pretty run for Biscuit down to the Raven's 12.

Not a bad rule. Injuries are horrid for the NFL and when the most important position in sports goes down it kills the sport.

Utterly terrible playcall, though. Running game was doing work and you're on the bottom scrapings of the WR depth chart. C'mon, Dowell.

Bears 3 Ravens 0.

I disagree. There needs to be SOME malintent to call a PF penalty. As we saw in this case, the DL guy just reached out and grabbed the QB's legs. Didn't hurt the guy nor intend to. He's fighting against other top athletes. He can grab any other ball carrier that way. But we can discuss another time.

Bears have not looked as good against the run today as they have been. They rip off a big one.

Ravens fumble at Bears 20 and Bears recover. Turnover!

A Bear yanked that one out. Didn't see who. Huge play basically takes points off the board.
