It feels like we're telegraphing runs when Etienne is on the field. It's hard to explain but it feels like they're tipping their hand with how quick the defense gets off the ball.

Having Scherff let everyone know we're about to snap the ball surely isn't helping.

On a non-negative note, both last game and this game, Lawrence is looking a little more comfortable in the pocket. I see him starting to step up, and he's throwing off his back foot less than he was a few weeks ago. I hope this means he is starting to get used to having a decent center.

The tackles have definitely played better since the Monday night game, and against some pretty good pass rush too.

You just can't say nice things about this team.

The O line still has some run block issues but overall are looking better.

Haha, I was just thinking the same thing. Did he do that when we were trying to draw the team offsides?

Run game isn't getting anything right now. Bears doing a good job bringing guys but thankfully Trevor is moving the ball through the air.

---

I like Lawrence is making the easy throws. The offense looks much more productive

---

More false starts so basic

---

Stop with the [BLEEP] false starts already what the [BLEEP]

---

Stop moving!

---

Bears appear determined to stop the run. Gonna need to keep throwing to open it up it seems.

---

Can't get the ground game going. They need to mix it up better in this quarter. Maybe get into split backfield looks and start spreading the ball out with quick passes.

C'mon w/these penalties.

Too many mental errors early in this one as well. You'd think we're the team that has never played in London before. Get your [BLEEP] together boys. That's the third or fourth false start in a quarter and a few seconds of play.

Hopefully we're just getting them out of the way early

You can fix the ground game by throwing a deep ball or two. Push the linebackers and safeties up the field.

Risky with their pass rush getting closer to Lawrence.

Nope, that would make sense.

The Bears seem to be willing to live with getting beaten in the air. Almost selling out to stop the run.

If Gabe could catch they may be thinking about adjusting.

Daniel Thomas and Tim Jones are actually some solid Gunners on punts. I'm critical of what Jones contributes outside of special teams but it's nice to have solid guys there that you're not too concerned about giving up a big play in the 3rd phase of the game. Now they're no Montell Owens and Kassim Osgood, but they're a nice little duo that might help keep Cooke's punt average in the black for a possible pro bowl nod.
