McD not throwing that challenge flag was Buffalo packing it in for the day. Need to get the starters out before you get someone else hurt for a game you’re not even trying to win

McD gotta throw the challenge flag. He might not care about wins and losses this year but the players still do

If we pull out the entire bag of tricks on opening day, we won’t be able to figure out any new ways to lose later on in the season

The offense said they’d take the defense’s complete inability to contain and coverage busts and raise them ridiculous penalties in key situations and at least one man coming free on every play

Will be referring to the team as the Buffalo Josh Allen’s until any of the other 52 on the team decide they’re going to play

He’s calling them. Josh just isn’t throwing them. Was locked on Kincaid when he slipped under shakirs post and had Coleman dragging the end zone on the first one he ran that was called back. Trust isn’t there. I’ll take the tds wherever we can get them at this point

Did someone tell Josh he was only allowed to throw once per 4 plays?

I remember vividly getting absolutely destroyed on this board when I said after the moves of the off season, we would be lucky to get a wild card………….

Downplay it all you want but there were some very concerning things going on. Not saying the season is doomed but the confusion on coverage responsibility was very apparent starting with what was plugged in as the first group. Defense, though understandably keeping it very vanilla, was not gap sound and for the most part the bears o line inflicted their will on our starters. Our own o line got routinely blown up as well especially the tackles battling the 4is and 5s. The offensive timing was way off even on the most mundane run plays but hopefully reps will solve that. Not taking anything away from the bears and i do realize they already had a game under their belt but that was a really poor initial outing. Thankfully they’ll live to fight another day and nowhere near sky is falling level but if some of these glaring issues don’t get fixed, could be a rough one.

Bryan Cox for his general d baggery and Frank Wycheck (RIP) otherwise decent dude but threw the forward pass that will be shown on every CBS playoff game opening scene for eternity

Pulled a double so just sat down to watch the game. I know it’s the first game of the preseason and people here are trying hard to stay positive but I saw some very concerning things here. Obviously we’re keeping it simple but the secondary struggled mightily just to know where they were supposed to be in certain situations. We were not gap sound defensively. The O line was one thing I was actually pretty confident in and they were horrible at recognizing even the most basic of blitzes. I’m not full on sky is falling but that was a very, very bad way to open the year. Let’s hope over the next few weeks they can remember how to football

2 brutal stretches for an already depleted roster. Rooks will need to grow up quick and some of the guys that have never had much responsibility on them will have to become reliable immediately. This squad isn’t designed for much success in the postseason and most fans knew it due to the financial constraint we were in so I’d consider a wildcard an incredibly successful season

Though the Mafia spin doctors have been working 24/7 to have you believe there hasn’t been a draft go this well for a team since what Sonny Weaver Jr pulled off for the Browns in 2014, there’s no doubt we lost a lot of talent, leadership and experience. What does a successful season look like for this depleted roster? Could we say top 2 in division and wild card is legit expectation for this crew or am I too optimistic?

First pick I’ve been on board with this year. I’ve watched this kid in Durham since his freshman year. Insane motor, great ability to find ways to win. Won’t be an instant pro bowler by any means but a good foundation guy and locker room guy

Hoping Beane picks up some good experience picking early in the second round because with his combination of off season moves, we’ll most likely be picking early in the first round next year. I knew we couldn’t defend the chiefs in the playoffs but now we can’t defend them in the draft???
