Week 2 2021: Bengals at Bears Game Thread

[Stripes]

Time to wake up offense. The D bending but also keeping us alive.

Bailey and Evens were the LBs on that last play 

Ugh.  Not good.  Bell is their best LB at SS.

[volcom69]

Can you please start calling some real plays here, or maybe he still does not trust this o-line! 

[Stripes]

I think they must trust the offensive line to run numerous empty sets. Those tend to encourage short/intermediate throws though.

Let Joe loose.

[volcom69]

Gross no run game, and every throw goes 5 yards so stupid

[ShulaSteakhouse]

There you go - Tee was open!

[cincy9275]

Come on willams!!

[cincy9275]

Get the first. Then take a shot here. 

[Stripes]

If Fields plays the rest of the game I think that's probably a good thing. Dalton was on point. Still hard to say whether that'll even happen.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

 

[HoosierCat]

Wtf was that throw?

[Stripes]

Joe is deciding where to throw before he takes the snap. That isn't necessarily wrong, but the timing is off.

[cincy9275]

Burrow missed that te was wide open. Play calling is atrocious.  That's on Zac.  

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Eli Apple, burnt again on 3rd down.  

[HoosierCat]

Sack!

[volcom69]

Taylor better figure something out at Halftime his game plan sucks!

[Stripes]

Not sure that was a completion.

They need to let burrow play. We didn’t draft him to run daltons pre snap o.

Yea really at this point I can’t tell the difference between a Dalton run offense and a Burrow run offense, it’s sickening. Let the guy play

[Stripes]

Commentators don't know anything. Ankle was down in bounds. Only need one ankle.

[cincy9275]

Wasn't a fucking catch. Where did they get these refs from? 

[ShulaSteakhouse]

I keep forgetting...despite awful play-calling today, the offense is going to start slow this season and struggle.  Defense is playing well.  Hard to be surprised by this.  They need a big play like they had with Chase last week at some point.  Not doing anything downfield so far.

[Stripes]

Kind of a wet fart of a half, but the game is winnable. Glad they deferred at the toss.

[volcom69]

I swear I think only 1 time has this team played a complete game when the offense and defense actually both played good under Zac Taylor that’s not very good.

I guess there saying that both safeties of the Bears are playing deep, so maybe if they could actually run the ball it would bring them in and Joe could throw deep. Hopefully Taylor makes changes this half to his game plan because it sucks!
