First week or two is always a crapshoot. That said, it was good to see some adjustments for the win...
The Good:
1. This team may not be the most talented, but they seem to be coached well. The fact that they didn't have a ton of penalties like they've gotten in past years is a step up itself....
2. You mean you can adjust in the 2nd half ? Go figure....
3. Eddie Jackson redeems himself. I don't know who said it but "you can
**** up once and awhile, but ya gotta make up for it !"....
4. Two of the best offensive plays came when Fields said "
**** that play ! I'm going to wing this thing". I've got a strange feeling that the 9ers wish Lance had done some of that himself but Shanahan (like his dad) is a control freaks so I think he's kind of beaten that out of Lance.....
5. When was the last time the Bears won by more than a score with no field goals or defensive touchdowns/safeties ?
The Bad:
1. Obviously, the weather. It kind of makes it hard to handicap this game.
2. they play a very pissed off Packers team next week. In primetime. That will be a game that will try Bear fan's souls.....
The Ugly:
1. What was it with that Nagy-esque offensive plan ? No planned roll-outs ? Keep Fields in the pocket. I had flashbacks to last year over and over again. Maybe the condition of the field had something to do with that, but it felt wrong....
2. Cairo Santos ? That had to be the field conditions (both misses on that side of the field) as he hit the earlier extra point. But hope its not the start of a trend....
Great win were everybody wrote off the Bears. Lots to work on still. And the arrow appears pointed upward. Buckle up. Its going to be a bumpy ride....
Go Bears !
