Edmunds just had the RB in the hole for a TFL and whiffed. 

You just dont understand what he's being asked to do in the scheme----sarcasm.

That was a funny screen play.  Small man hiding behind big man.

This thread seems like it's a disguised, "bashing Tremaine Edmund's thread"...

 

And I'm all for it as the dude sucks

I love when Edmunds comes up on a running play and runs straight into a lineman.

 

He's the "stack" in "stack and shed."

But it's true... also it's not the plays he makes but the ones he takes away.

 

From what I understand it's like some sort of Jedi mind trick or something like that.

Ok did they just catch Al and Kirk talking when they didn't think they were on air???

DK isn't good enough to be consciously costing his team 15 yards.

I missed it... I was trying to think of something clever to type.

He'll make that play once he comes of age...

I honestly can't remember a season where the match ups were so bad. I know it happens every year, but seems like 90% of games this season.

I still think Caleb Williams can be good, but a pretty disappointing rookie year. Stinks for Bears fans that ownership decided to keep a lame duck coach around for another year.

I agree, the Bears are a very poorly constructed team. They need to clean house. Subpar coaching with years of bad GM moves is a tough combo.

This game is a hard watch so far.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Omg...how do you not get another play ready to go?????

I think it’s a function of the rule book favoring offense, along with years of the QB’s increasing importance. It’s a QB centered game, in a league with very few elite QB’s. That creates awful matchups imo. I remember when non QB’s like Barry Sanders made a matchup worthwhile, who’s the non QB we can say that for these days?

It's raining really hard... and it's the day after Christmas...

I find the fact that I suddenly look older than most NFL coaches troubling.

 

[Doc Brown]

I think this game might hurt Geno's MVP odds.

There also simply aren’t 22 starting caliber players (ie. guys you’d pay to watch play) to go around for 32 teams.       There’s a level of talent saturation that’s just going to keep rising with the franchises the NFL wants to put in Europe and Central/South America.  We’ll have 36 franchises and 16 playoff teams soon and the average game will be even worse.
