Game Balls and Horns Wk 4 vs NYG
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2022 4:35 pm
Particularly frustrating loss considering the injuries on both side of the ball for the Jints, but the Bears could not take advantage of a weakened team. I'm almost wondering if they came in with a little bit of a swelled head after the W against Houston and being 2-1. Almost.
Tough week to give out balls or horns as this was an ugly game.
Fields Zone
Justin looked better today, and got many fans pumped up after hitting a crossing pass first play, running for a few first downs, and finding Mooney deep for 51 yards. No turnovers today. The second half was a different story, as the indecision and bad throws showed up again. Bears inability to pick up the blitz hurt him too.
GAME BALLS
- Badgely: came in off the street and nailed all 4 FG's.
- ESB: made some key blocks downfield on some big plays, made one nice catch and could have had another if JF1 could get it to him.
- Morrow: helped keep the D in the game.
HORNS
- Redzone/second half offense: difficult to tell if it was Getsy or lack of execution by the O, but the Bears could not take advantage of an average Jints D that was hurting with injuries. Halftime adjustments missing.
- Mohammed: Constantly out of position, no pressure on the QB. He floats around like a butterfly but no sting.
- Pressure on QB: We saw a few more blitzes, but otherwise Jones had all kinds of time. Coverage may have been good but Jones was way too open to run for big gains as well as 2 TD's.
- Rookie DB's: too many mistakes, showing how they miss Jaylon Johnson. Gordon got a PI that was really ticky-tacky and turned out to be the difference in the game as the Jints went on to score a TD.
We were all excited to see VJJ on the field, and particularly when the punt was boomed deep at the end of the game so VJJ could get a big return. He made a typical rookie mistake of looking to run before catching the ball. I'll pass on a horn for him.
On to Minnysoda for a tilt against the VIqueens. Hopefully they're still jetlagged next Sunday.
