Again, Josh checked into it.

That 2nd down was not the play call. Josh checked into it.

I think Josh made the wrong check. I'd have to see again but I thought he checked into the defense.

Thought Josh made the wrong check on 2nd down. Then the line just got beat on 3rd down. Disappointing. But that is good!!!! Buffalo ball. EDIT: nope. Us then them.

Ed was doubled too. He split it.

I know the D gave up some 3rd downs there but they were third and shorts where you have to defend Henry, Lamar's legs and the pass. That is tough on the D. The first time we got them in 3rd and medium/long we got them off the field. That's encouraging.

Hell of a play from Ed. Split a double team, blew past the recovery player and buried Lamar.

Booooom. Edddddiiieee

That is NOT a hold

Bills mixing in some 5 man front.

Nice kick coverage on that. Now let't try and get a stop.

I am at my friend's in Scotland and have the game on like a movie screen projector. I like. I like a lot.

Fabulous drive and Dalton going early. Like it. Great script, great execution.

Davis gotta be more decisive there. The blocks were out

Like a bit of Ty and Cook together action. Puts defenses in a bind

Bit too much heat on that one.

Great start Codders!!!

Don't tell me.... we lost the toss? Some things never change

My annual start of the season reminder..... Do not take anything said in the GameDay thread too serious.... it is the one thread I don't hold myself to. Now..... lettt'ssss gooooooo Buuuuffffffaaaaaaalllllllllllooooooooooo!

Because he was disappointing all summer. I fully expected him to be inactive.

I suspect a bit of both. I think with where they are DB wise the experience of Lewis and Hamlin would likely have counted against him for that final jersey - but with the rehab that probably capped it.

That can all be true and other dysfunction be more of a reason the Bears sucked last year. But his intention from the off in this article is clear - Poles screwed the pooch on Williams and everything thereafter is on the two of them. Shane Waldron is clearly one of the heavily relied on sources and he has a reputation to rehabilitate. I think Caleb was a diva last year. And his issues were a problem with the Bears. But one among many. The organisation was a disaster top to bottom. I think it still is to be honest. They are hoping a bit like McDermott did here that hiring Ben Johnson just straightens stuff out.

So who starts at corner? Ingram or Strong? The rest I think are all the expected inactives.

The Harris contract was the most baffling deal in free agency to me.

Sure. I just don't think he was interested in speaking to anyone who disagrees with his narrative. And when you think about the number of people let go from the Bears over the past 12 months: from coaches, to support staff, to players, to personnel guys... it wouldn't be difficult to find 32 people with axes to grind. Again I am not doubting that his sources are honestly sharing their truth of what happened and what it felt like. I am doubting that is a fully rounded view of what went on in Chicago last year.
