Halas built champions but it seems like after he drafted Butkus
and Sayers he lost it.
Drafts and coaching were terrible until Finks.

Good to see Poles and Roquan talking before the game.

They're not going to let him getaway. They'd be idiots. Still
somewhat stunned by what I'm seeing in Seattle.
Bears allow a gentleman's TD for Seattle.

What most impressed me was the lack of penalties and the
discipline they play with. Let’s hope that is real and not just
a fluke.

Watching the game from DVR as I was working during the game.
Not much to **** about other than the first-string O-line and
not challenging the catch that was ruled incomplete.
I am most impressed with the coaching and discipline especially
with so many young players.
I think the Seahawks are going to be really bad so this is not a
good barometer but I think the arrow is pointed up for our team.
I did not think the D would be good after shedding so many good
players. I think we will be pleasantly surprised.
I also like the O scheme. It gives players a chance to succeed.
Now the O-line just needs to get their **** together and we
might have a better season than most were predicting.

Seeing that we were ranked 32nd in preseason picking, I think I
can see who 32 is right now.

Only saw the first 3 quarters, but I cant remember in how long
that special teams looked competent. That coach deserves a
raise. Tevin Jenkins looked darn good at RG, Larry Borom seemed
to struggle a little. Maybe Rieff comes in and shores that up.
And I was thinking being a Bears fan has been tough, but being a
Seahawks fan this year is going to be worse. ;)

Pleasantly surprised. The team looks confident, competent and
competitive. In fact Seattle looks like what I thought the Bears
would look like.
Negatives:
1. The Oline is not good enough (as if we didn't know that
already). It at least appears they can run block, so that's a
start but when the bullets start really flying, look out.....
2. The non-challenge on the catch sucked, and I hope someone
asked about that in the post-presser. A lot of places make the
availability to access replays a little more delayed for the
visiting team, and I wouldn't be surprised for the "13th man"
(the 12th of course being the fans) a.k.a the scoreboard
operator having an influence....
3. Pete Carol was a dick for calling a timeout at the end of the
game after the Bears took a knee. Come to think of it, wasting
an onside kick (and possibly giving any tells away) in preseason
is not a smart move either....
4. Not as strong at the finish as the start and middle of the
game. This is a good coaching point I'd be pretty sure Flus
would use this week....
Positives:
1. Did I say they looked competent ? It seems that word is
coming up a lot from anyone whose seen this team so far....
2. The players are flying around like their hair is on fire, and
how long has it been since we've seen offensive linemen pushing
the pile down field instead of spinning in place looking down at
the play like those plastic figures from that electric football
game from the 70s ?
3. The defense is also flying around. Just look at how many are
around the ball either on each tackle or just afterward coming
toward the tackle. HITS indeed.....
In conclusion, its only a pre-season game, where the only real
take-aways are those who are injured and whether things look
like they are at least firing close to all cylinders. So far
they pass the eye-test. But unless the talent develops (and that
takes time) this team has a long way to go. And right now its
looking like a trip worth going on....
Go Bears !
