Reports from camp have been that McKenzie has been waaAAAAaaayyy ahead of the other returners in terms of ball security.

So nobody is catching the ball.  That bodes well.

I would be surprised if we aren't combing other rosters on cut down day looking for a kick returner. McKenzie makes the team either way.

Just watching the replay now and Kumerow TOWERS over Hollister, a TE. I know it's a dead horse, but I really hope they get this guy involved as at LEAST a RedZone threat this year. His physical frame combined w/ his fluidity and (so far) decent hands, I can see why Rodgers gave him the seal of approval. 

He lost 2 hand battles with DBs and, imo, should have positioned his body better to fend off at least one pbu.

I havnt gotten to watch today’s game yet with a bunch of summer festivities going on. I know we sat basically all our heavy hitters. Did our backups do all that damage vs the bears starters or were they missing quite a few pieces as well? 
 

Like was rousseaus sack play against the starter? AJ’s? Were the bears starting db’s in at all? 

It would certainly seem Chicago rested starters, but no, many played the entire 1st half. Chitown really pumped this game up as their ‘Welcome Back, Fans!’ homecoming. The place looked like a sellout crowd at 1st. Fields & Dalton are 1-2 and they played the whole game. Trubisky outran Mack on a scramble. Both their lines were destroyed all game. Bears aren’t very good and their coach seems even worse. 
 

T’was a beat down.

Kumerow still had the touchdown and some great catches

Both are listed at 6’4”.  The towering may be a camera perspective

Yup. And they both look small when Brown was celebrating with them after Kumerow's TD catch. 😱

The problem is we can't just easily choose who goes on the PS. We have to cut down to 53... meaning cut all the guys you hope to get on the PS. Other teams can claim those players for 24 hours. Once they clear that 24 hours, it's their choice where they want to sign.

 

I don't care if either Webb or Fromme gets signed. I prefer Webb, but I am fine with Fromme on the PS.

 

I'm more worried about keeping certain players like Stevenson or Hodgins as the team clearly likes them but they just aren't there yet.

Transplant, I know they have to released and resigned to PS.  100% agree on Stevenson.  A weaker team could easily scoop him up.  As a brief example, look his dysfunctional Chicago looked yesterday.  You know they need better talent.  We’re entering after 5 beautiful years of the McBeane regime of having to lose players we don’t want to lose.  We’re safer on Hodgins as he hasn’t done much in the NFL, and was a 6th.

I just don't understand the Bears not picking up True Biscuits 5th year option.

 

The guy had a winning record and they could have used the draft capital used on Fields to get him a better supporting cast.

 

Well he got his revenge

Like Madden used to say in the game "look there is a helmet rolling across the field....lets hope his heads not in it "

Lions fans are in mourning as well

Of note -and not yet discussed/lost in the plethora of incredible plays yesterday, Johnson (#92) blocked an Extra Point leaping up in the middle of the line. There are and will be games where plays like this determine the outcome.

I think Bills postgame gave Boogie credit for the block.

I could be wrong, it was very quick video, but I freeze framed it a few times. 92 is Johnson, right?

Perhaps, I'm going off the Chris Brown post-game recap.

My eyes have not seen so I can neither confirm nor deny, but NFL's scoring credits Boogie Basham (96) with the EP block

I’ll just drop this here. 
 

Buffalo Bills defensive end Efe Obada was fined $6,944 for a low hit on Lions quarterback Tim Boyle, per Pelissero.

 

sheesh.
