[Process]

If AJ, Groot and the RBs play like this in the regular season this team is winning the Superbowl. Good lord.

I won’t be impressed unless he gets to 300 yards passing.

Guessing this has been talked about, but with so much good in this game, the bad really sticks out. And I really only have 4 bads:

 

1) Kumerow's 2 drops. It's really just one drop in my eyes because that first one his left arm was held, but he coulda caught that. 2nd drop was brutal. Still think he's firmly on the roster, but maybe this opens a window for the other TC darling in Lenoir. He DEFINITELY started making up for the drops with that impressive sideline catch and toe drag.

 

2) Knox dropped another ball. That plus Hollister looks good might help flip the starting TE sooner rather than later.

 

3) Epenesa just plain whiffed on a tackle he should have made. Obviously the sack late in the half was a good way to start to make up for it.

 

4) McKenzie muffed a punt. He’s an absolute roster lock, though. You can tell especially based on how much they went in his direction after that play on offense... maybe just showing confidence in him. And you can see why he's pretty much a roster lock with what he does on offense.

 

 

Some might point to Siran Neal on that TD from Dalton, but that was pretty solid coverage, just a great catch essentially off Neal's helmet. Thought Neal had a pretty solid first half.

Ah Nagy, my old friend.  Are you aware of the old Klingon proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold?  It is very cold....in Chicago.

What a great catch by Kumerow.

Awesome half.

[ghostwriter]

Boogie and Rousseau each have a sack a piece! 🤩

[Governor]

You can only hope to contain The Mitch.

 

I knew we could fix him. 

[AmishRifle]

Epenesa dropped Williamson on his ass with a left arm strike to the right chest.  Just straight dropped a 300 lb dude.  Amazing!!!

[wppete]

I really hope we see a little more of #50 in the second half. He’s abusing people. 

[Rc2catch]

It’s only preseason, but Nagy should be fired now before he gets ahold of fields

[Simstim]

As I wasn't hyped enough for this season anyway.

 

That half was so much fun.

I am so relieved that we missed out on JJ Watt. Thank God the draft fell as it did. Bills look deep on DL, not only on DL but especially at DE, which is one of the hardest positions to fill. We’re locked and loaded.

Totally agree. Lookin like some studs there. 

[Rocky Landing]

Takeaway: Mitch Trubisky can run this offense.

What’s up with Bass on his kickoffs? Is he being to told to leave room for a return?

Likely, and he's been very directional as well.

[PromoTheRobot]

I missed the last few seconds. Someone please recap? How'd we get that extra FG?

I've heard of pancake blocks, but never a pancake rush

[Warcodered]

I mean sure Mitch playing well is a good story but the story of the half is the Bills D-Line making a meal out of the Bears.

Serious question 

if the Bills came to Mitch with a team friendly extension right now….anyway he takes the security on the off chance he gets 0 playing time this year? Maybe get him for 3?
