That is if Lee plays in the 2nd. I have little respect for the first team passing offense.

I'm no Chicago expert. Is their offensive line still considered a weak spot?

I know Chris Long's brother is actually really good
Their offense was unstoppable against PHI. Could just be PHI stinking on D.
Channel 12? No Brunell and Kouvaris?
There is a God.
Just make sure radio is off so I don't hear Steeler Frangie slurping into my speaker, and good to go.
But it still feels like the week before Christmas. Exhibition games are just that, and gets fans freaking out about starting QBs.
What these QBs see now vs regular season is apples and oranges.
No injuries please. Get better.

over love to beat a dead horse
under henne 10 points in a half really
under bears much better than bucs
under no garbage time to pad stats
over bortles enough said
under may say more positive things but not those exact words
Is there I somewhere I can look to see who's playing tonight? The only difference I've heard from last game to this one is that Poz is out and Gerhart is in. Are they the only change?
I wonder if Blackmon will be watching this game...

Linder will get work at center. That's new. I think that's it though.

I was under the impression that Alan Ball was playing tonight as well.
And word on Allen Robinson?
Quote:Why in the hecks is this not on nfl network? It's the only game on tonight. It isn't shown until Satuday for absolutely no reason.
It's on espn tonight
Number of batted balls thrown by henne <5
It'll be interesting to watch the Jags D tonight with Chicago putting up 34 points last week. I realize it's only preseason but I'd love to see the D keep Chi under 20.
Looking forward to more Bortles reps. Hope Lee comes to play... and I expect Telvin and Chris Smith to showcase again.
I want to see some consistency out of the defense. They get a true test with Forte, Cutler, Marshall, and Jeffrey.

No, they were really good last year.

Although the Bears were decimated by injuries on defense in 2013, all five of their offensive linemen started all 16 games.
The cohesiveness the line developed helped the Bears allow only 30 sacks, tied for the fourth fewest in the NFL, and pave the way for Pro Bowl running back<a class="" href='http://www.chicagobears.com/team/roster/matt-forte/4b36c279-8a58-41a0-8ab4-8a11803586e1/' title="Matt Forte"> Matt Forte</a> to rush for a career-high 1,339 yards, the most by any Bears player other than Hall of Famer Walter Payton.

Don't know who will play for them tonight, but I look forward to see your defense again.

He might. Will he remember it? IDK
I am usually a staunch supporter of my local bar for Jags games, but I can't make it tonight. If someone could pm me a link to stream I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.
Bortles discussion coming on right now ESPN
Monday night countdown has been a Johnny jock ride so far. I'm remembering why I never watch ESPN anymore.
