So true, so true. Hey, how did those talented uniform makers for the Squeelers get puke to stay in line like that...

Against the Phins defense, Noteboom will be or should be fine. They are bottom dwellers against the run and in yards per play. They also give up more long runs (20 or more yards) than any other team. The only reason they are ranked 11th against the pass, 200 yards per game, is because teams run against them they are so bad at stopping the run. Offensively I am not too worried even if Huntley plays. This secondary though, and lack of pressure, Tua with time will eat them up

Well, the coach claimed that there would be changes, plural, as I said in the game thread, aside from the injured players returning, the only change, singular, was the qb: Rush out, Huntley in. I admit, I was happy when they went away from Huntley and signed Rush. He had shown more ability in the passing while with Dallas. That, unfortunately didn't translate to here, he was hesitant in passing plays down field and off target. He held the ball too long leading to sacks. Then he would press and turn the ball over. He runs just as well if not better than Huntely, so why they didn't call the same type of plays for him as they did Huntely is beyond me. But the line was still the same. Against one of the worst defenses against the rush, while they did get 177 yards rushing, 71 from Henry, it could have been better. And two long runs, one by Mitchell the other, Huntely, skew the stat a bit. Pass protection was good enough, but then the Bears are not known for rushing the passer. The only time we saw a change on the line was when Stanley was hurt. No Cleveland, no Bullock at either guard.

It's just as much of a must win as this one was, so if he can yes. Let him split time with Noteboom. Phins don't have a serious pass rush so. With their offense waking up against the Falcons, who have a very good defensive line & pass rush, Thursday's game is likely to be a shoot out with the Baltimore defense so easy to throw against.. Hate the Thursday games, who know how a team is going to be able to play.

Man, how bad is the Bengal defense? They gave up 39 pts to the Jets

Kickoff is to the Bears endzone, touchback Williams with time throws over the middle for 20 yards. 2 min warning Pass to the left side, incomplete In the R U bleeping kidding me category, only the Baltimore 2ndary could allow this Williams drifts back under heavy pressure, heaves one deep down right side. Finds a wide open reciever who runs to the 2 and is tackled but never goes out of bounds Great 1 handed catch 1:14 after an incomplete Pass in the short left ro Duv, short of the goalline at the 1 They rush to the line, tush push goes no where 4th and goal 30 seconds Pass to the endzone is incomplete Game over Baltimore wins 30-16

Against an inexperienced quarterback with an average at best offensive line.

5:06 2 time outs Kickoff is to the Baltimore Goalline, Ali takes it to the 34 5 mins Play fake, Huntely hits Flowers on the right side for 6 Henry right side for 5 Under 4 mins Hill up the middle for 1 , time out Bears Henry to the left, cuts back, gets 3 3rd and long, keep Henry in use play action and throw the ball they are expecting a run to use clock Nope, Hill is in Quick throw to the left a back shoulder to Hopkins for 13 1st down Bears 1 time out Mitchell speed to the right gets 12 buf goes out of bounds 3:12 Mitchelll to the right gets 8 but flag down, off sides, take the 5 1st and 5 Mitchell to the left, cuts back gets 2 Oh cry me a river for the non call on Hopkins face mask Now a flag is down for encrochment, gets a free 1st down but does not run the clock Huntely fakes rhe handoff runs around the left side runs down the 2 Henry up the middle, backs up, goes around right edge for a touchdown Baltimore 30-16 Baltimore 2:09 left

Call stands, bad call 2nd and 6 Baltimore loses a time out Williams with time hits Moore deep middle to the Balt 48 Again pass to the middle for 11 6 mins Short middle Smith on the stop for 5 Blitz, Buchanan misses a sack, Williams forced to flee and throw it away 3rd and 5 5:16 Williams fires deep to Duv in the endzone, too far. Field goal of 47 yards is good, just inside the left upright 23-16 Baltimore

Baltimore is challenging a completed catch. But this ball never hits the ground and Humph has posession on the ground with the ball then touched. It should be Baltimore ball

They ruled forward progress, ball def came out before he was down and his progress was certainly not stopped, this should either be a fumble recover by Baltimore or incomplete if the ball ever hit the ground, which I dont think it did. So it could be an interception

8:13 left in the game, a lot of time Kickoff is to the 5, returned to the 23 Williams cant find anyone, scrambles right, gets cut off, backs up throws it away 2nd 10 Blitz gets through forces an errant pass 3rd and 10 7:56 Pass to the right sideline, reciever comes back for rhe ball, breaks a tackle gets the 1st down Throw to short right, complete, tackled right away, ball pops out, Baltimore recovers but the refs dont realize a fumble occurred ( I think he was down anyway)

1st and goal from the 9 Henry right, loses 1 They have to use play action with Henry now, the Bears are crashing on Henry Stanley back in Boom I called it, play action with Henry, Kolar sneaks out Huntley finds him for an easy touchdown! 23-13 Baltimore

9:48 Humph back in Flags, false start backs them up an inch Just get play off, run up the middle for 3 Williams with time, fires to the ledt side, Wiggins steps infront of the receiver, returns it to the 10!

4th and 5 Baltimore is going for it? Nope, trying, badly, to draw them offsides 9:55 left with a 3 point lead and you giive up? Punt is to the 3, Wallace catches it

Kick off is to the Baltimore 5, Mitchell returns it to the Baltimore 45 12:16 Henry up the middle for 4 Flowers on a jet sweep gets 8 1st and 10 from the Bears 44 Sweep left to Mitchell who has to cut it back, gets 3 Bears lineman down Henry up the middle gets 3 3rd and a long 4 Huntley with time throws it right to a Bear safety trying to hit Bateman on a crossing route. Thankfully he drops the ball. Stanley down, looks bad

These lame redzone plays are costing this team, at least 1 of those field goal should have been a touchdown, this would be a different game

Wow they remade the runningman and made it a comedy, lame Swift to the right 4 to the 1 Swift left side tackled for a loss of 1 Swift right side this time he squeeks in 12:22 left in the game 16-13 11 plays, 83 yards the defense breaks

2 score lead entering the 4th Run up the middle for 5 to the Baltimore 30 3rd and 6 Baltimore blitzes but the Bears have a screen on that goes to the Baltimore 3 where Humphry is hurt making the tackle

Kickoff is to the 13 returned to the 34, flag down, low block, backs them up 15 3:27 left in the 3rd Run righ for 5 yards Run up the middle, cuts back left as Hamilton over runs the play gets Swift 15 Corner bkitz forces Williams to throw short for 3 Run up the middle for 1 3rd and 6 Under a minute left in the quarter Williams with time, hits Odunze for 27 yards Run up the middle has VanNoy come off the edge and make the stop for a loss of 2 End of quarter Baltimore leads 16-6

Kick off to the 3 Returned to the 27, fumbled, Bears get it back 9:59 Run right for 3 Quick pass to the left doesnt fool Wiggins who makes the tackle for a loss of 1 3rd and 8 Pass in the short middle, Smith tackles him right away, gain of 5 4th down Punt is to the Baltimore 3, rolls into the endzone, holding on Baltimore sets them up at their own 10 Henry up the middle for 4 Sweep left for Mitchell who explodes up the sidelines for a gain of 30 Huntley with time, fires deep to Flowers, too deep.. Huntley back to pass, sees a lane and runs up the middle for 10, plus a hands to the face penalty on da Bears 6:20 From the 47 Henry to the right gets maybe 1 Hill in Huntley back to pass sees a huge lane no one looking, takes off and runs 29 yards before he runs into Flowers who was blocking and goes down. From the 16 of the Bears Henry left end for 2, they are crashing hard to stop Henry, they need fo play fake to Henry then pass, that is when they have gotten big plays in the passing game. As it is they bring Hill in aand split him out wide Short drop, feels pressure, sneaks to the left, stops tries to hit Likely, almost picked 3rd and 8 Huntley looks disheveled, throws quickly off target to Flowers short of the sticks, incomplete 32 yard field goal is good 16-6 this is terrible redzons play calls and playing.

Not a single throw to the endzone, having Huntley, who is not fast, run twice on stretch plays is idiotic and what cost this drive to end. 1st and 10 from their 13 and we get a field goal from 28 yards. Sad

Baltimore gets the ball 1st The ineptitude of both teams has this game 10-6, 168 total yards for the Bears in the 1st half, 43 in the 2nd quarter, most of those on their last drive that ended in a missed field goal For Baltimore, only 1 true posession in the 1st quarter where they only got 8 total yards. But they made up for it in the 2nd quarter where the gained 138 yards. Both teams had 10 1st downss and penalties, 6-47 yards Bears, 4-30 yards Baltimore, end drives early. Kickoff is to the Baltimore 5 Mitchell returns it to the 34 Huntley with time, fires deep to Bateman for 30 yards Henry right side for 7 Henry right side again for 2 Henry up the middle for 4 Huntley with time, pumps, has to scramble right, Andrews come back for a gain of 5 Fake end around, Huntely keeps it around left edge, tackled for a loss, idiot 3rd and 8, Hill in Huntley throws quickly to Likely short of the 1st down marker, shake my head Field goal from 28 yards is good. 13-6 Baltimore

Kixkoff is to 4, Duv gets to the Bears 25 and gets planted in the turf 1;02 Short pass to rhe right flat gets 6 and out of bounds, missed, lazy tackle by Wiggins lets him get out of bounds. Ravens in man, take bad rush lanes leave a wide open lane for Williams to run who rumbles to the Baltimore 44 Pass short middle for 5. Blitz, all out, forces a throw away Could be should be grounding And is, Bears have 1 time out left should be 10 second run off but Bears us last time out 22 seconds left in the half Loss of 10 3rd and 15 from the 50 Time out Baltimore. Short pass in the middle for 8, tackled Field gosl from 58 yards is short End of half Baltimore leads 10-6

Huntely fakes the hand off, keeps it around right end for 3 3rd and 5 Huntely short drop, throws to Andrews, low, bad throw, good throw is a first down. But illegal formation on Andrews brings it back 3rs and 10 Huntley doent feel the rush, gets sacked The qb keeper doomed this series No changes along the offensive line, in facts the onky changes save the injured returning, has been at the quarterback Time out Bears Field goal of 42 yards ijust slips inside the right up right 10-6 Baltimore
