Feeling good about the team after this game. Not sure about
this season but the future looks bright.

Show of hands. How many think that the Bears really made a
stretch when they traded up to get Trubisky?

You will have to get JBN to start posting again to find any
Bears fan pissed about trading up for Trubisky now.
Granted it was one pre-season game against 3rd and 4th stringers
but he looked like a real franchise QB. He looked like
everything Cutler was supposed to be and showed flashes of but
could never hold it together. He did this in his first NFL game
while playing with a lot of 3rd stringers on his side. Granted
he had some nice receivers still in there but the O-line was not
the starters. But neither were the D-line he was facing.
I think this first game went as bad as it possible could for
Glennon and as good as it possibly could for Trubisky. Sanchez
even looked better then Glennon in his limited playing time.
It is one game and we will all continue to evaluate them going
forward but I don't think anyone right now regrets getting
Trubisky no matter the price.

I disagree.
Since Trubisky ONLY started 13 games in college - he needs to
sit the bench for a year and not play a single game in the NFL
his first year. You can't just throw him to the wolves. He
needs to watch the veterans Glennon and Sanchez and learn from
them holding a clipboard.
That's pretty much what the announcers were saying as he entered
the game, which is pretty much what most the Chicago
sportswriters have been saying too.
Glennon had some pressure and some drops - he'll do better next
week. But I think his biggest problem is that the Bears don't
have a legit #1 WR (they did but he's playing for the EAgles
this year).

I said at the time that we have to trust Pace and his
evaluation. I also said that if Pace had the conviction on
Trubiskey, and his phone was ringing at 3 then it was likely
that the 49ers phone was also ringing. A report out this week
said the Chiefs were trying to trade up to 2. Then they didn't.
Funny they didn't trade up to 3 after Trubiskey was off the
board. I also think Cleveland might have been trying to trade
up after they drafted Garrett. When the didn't take Tru at 1,
the door opened for Pace.
One half of football, but that is what we have been waiting to
see for QB play. He had a couple of balls batted down at the
line, but most of his incompletions were drops. Cruz's drop in
the final 2 minutes could have been a huge play, that ball was
right on his hip and he was running before he caught it.

Watched replays of Trubisky. Man, the kid really looked good.
His throws looked crisp. Looked real comfy rolling out of the
pocket..

I liked the zip he had on his throws, and they were right on
target. I dont remember seeing any balls bounce in the dirt in
front of any WR. If the kid doesnt play this year so be it, but
I wouldnt mind watching him continue to grow and do well.

Do we know for sure if Denver's defense at the end of the 1st
half was already down to 3rd string, or was it maybe still 2nd
stringers?
Big difference...2nd stringers are NFL players, where 3rd
stringers are 50/50 at best.

I don't think it matters that much. Last night you got to see
Trubisky's athleticism, arm strength, speed, pocket awareness
and decision making in action.
Now he might not look as good going against a first string
highly ranked defense in a regular season game but the talent is
there.

I hope they let him hold hte clipboard all year. Suck for
Darnold, then trade the #1 pick away for a bounty of picks,
bears have their QB.
