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
10.15.17 // WIN - Bears 27, Ravens 24

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.

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.malk wrote:Having Trevathan back is huge.

I'd wager that rolling him out wasn't a secret before last week either. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.mmmc_35 wrote:That's my worry.botfly10 wrote:

Bingo. Now we need other options to keep rollouts effective but that's little to do with the tape on Trubisky.BR0D1E86 wrote:I'd wager that rolling him out wasn't a secret before last week either. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.mmmc_35 wrote:That's my worry.botfly10 wrote:

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

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.

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.

Utterly terrible playcall, though. Running game was doing work and you're on the bottom scrapings of the WR depth chart. C'mon, Dowell.Mikefive wrote:Good throwaway on 3rd and 3 from the 5.

Bears 3 Ravens 0.UOK wrote:Not a bad rule. Injuries are horrid for the NFL and when the most important position in sports goes down it kills the sport.
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.

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