2010-11 Chicago Bears: The Last Time You'll See Utler Alive

[Waco Kid]

Even though the Bears looked like dog shit last night it's still hard for me to put any stock into preseason games.

What were they last year, 3-1?

They looked like shit but I'm not going to cry over it. If anyone is surprised the the offensive line is below average than that person is not paying attention.

Yeah, 3-1. If IIRC they were 1-3 in 2006 and winless in 1985. The 0-16 Lions were 4-0 in the preseason. So no, it doesn't matter,  but the individual matchup issues are concerning because Orlando Pace getting schooled by Dumerville last year was a sign of things to come as well.

Besides Pace being old - also that Dumervil is an excellent player?

True. And when Chris Williams isn't old at all and Kamerion Wimbley is a first round bust with his second organization, what does That say?

Chris Williams still has room to improve and Wimbley may have a revival like Cedric Benson.

And that scotch is awesome.

I was drunk as hell at the game last night and very nearly got myself ejected. But I saw some improvement on offense - mainly Forte's breakaway speed and Cutler's ability to find open guys and hit them when he wasn't getting faceraped by three dudes at once. The defensive line had some penetration too. It wasn't pretty. It was preseason, I left at halftime. I was really shitfaced. That's all I got for you.

Just watching the game now.... I did find Peterman's duffed punt return entertaining. I played 7-7 against him in my glory days.

There was a lot of good to take from that first half, actually. The Raiders came out strong on their first two drives but after that the d-line did a pretty good job of keeping Campbell from getting comfortable and forced the interception. Campbell's a pretty mobile guy and made some good plays, but most of the QBs they'll face this year would have been sacked 3 or 4 times. Forte looked mighty damn fast, and not just on the 89 yard run. It turns out the "he looks like a new man!" BS articles this offseason may not have been pure BS. If they'd done a better job of blocking for Jay I'd have been really pleased with the effort.

I thought Peppers played better as the half went along. Also, Helen Hillenmeyer still sucks.

Whew. Now I can be confident that the season will be saved if Cutler goes down.

Todd Collins is fucking awesome. Or at least he was last time I saw him play.

Wait, they signed Neifi?

You mean when he was fist-raping the Bears in 2007? When both the Bears and Redskins starters went down and their journeyman backs up came in and one was Todd Collins and he went 15/20 with two TDs to win the game while the other was Brian Fucking Griese and he threw two picks and lost the game because he is Brian Fucking Griese and that's how Brian Fucking Griese rolls?

He led the league in "tripping over his dog" injuries.
