Ah thats more like it....Bears are making a huge change to their O line swapping RT Ifedi who has played over 4000 snaps on the right side of the o-line to the left as their left tackle Coward is absolutely shite.

Must be trying to protect Coward from Donald but surely he just swap sides. Either way its going to be a long night for Foles.

Prediction - Mitch sees some action tonight when Foles gets carted off

We are looking immense on offense this season with Ben back. He’s shifted some weight as well. The big one is coming up though - we need to finish above the crows and to do that we need to beat them at least once imo.

I’ve also determined that the Falcons are the Sunderland of the NFL.
 
The Bears defence was badly exposed by misdirection, WR sweeps and QB bootlegs. Could easily be 3-4 if the Lions didn't drop that pass in the endzone in week 1 and the Falcons never had a customary meltdown while leading by 3 scores. I don't think they'll make the playoffs.

Nah me neither.

The offence is absolutely woeful under Nagy and that O line is abysmal. You do start to wonder if Trubiskys problems are caused by shit protection coupled with Nagys crazy play calls. It would be the most Chicago thing ever to cut him this year and then see him flourish under someone that knows what he is doing.

Andy Reid took play calling off him in Kansas and I can see why. Tough run of games coming up too.

What has happened with Nagy? His first season he seemed super creative. I remember week 1 in Lambeau that year and although they lost it looked like the best, most unpredictable Bears offense I've seen.

No idea. We looked great in his first year but went backwards badly in the 2nd. If you remember the Bears/Pack opening game last year, Nagys first play on the Bears opening drive was some daft trick play which ended up in a loss of yards. And it seems its continued from there.

Mitch was Mitch but the consensus was that Nagys schemes rely heavily on TE's and our group was decimated last year so he couldn't call the plays he wanted.

We signed Jimmy Graham and drafted Cole Kmet this year and both have made some great plays but bizzarely Kmet is barely on the pitch. Most worrying thing this year is that the line has took a step back and our run game is now non existent. Pass protection isn't much better with Foles telling Brian Greasie before yesterdays game that he knows a lot of plays Nagy dials in won't work as he wont have the required time in the pocket.
 
Just been on Good Morning Football that Antonio Brown is looking to make a comeback this year when his suspension ends. That could be fun.

And speaking of fun, in other news Kay Adams is sporting a Bears top today....PHWOOOAAARRRR
There's a chance I'd let her off with wearing a Newcastle top, although that might be a bridge too far!

They were pummeled though, and that can't happen to Da blue collar Bears. The Rams are a good team, but not that good that they can just beat up the Bears.
 
Are many people subscribing to gamepass, I've seen mixed reviews, started to get back into it this season, but my team are rarely featured on the new Sky Sports NFL Channel (Washington) so wondered whether gamepass would be a good option, watch the games, condensed highlights, original programming, and just get wrapped up in the whole experience again... Its £107 quid til July next year (i know the season ends earlier than that) and can be paid in 3 instalments...

Or there is the £32 option for the year, but its no live games and just highlights and RedZone (and original programs)

(and yes i know, Sunderland and Washington, what a sucker for punishment, the NFC East is all over the place this season)

In terms of Gamepass - the bookies have started showing live games, both Skybet and Paddy’s.

Think you need to put a bet on the specific game to watch it, or have money in your account, but might be a cheaper way of watching.

When I watched the Paddy’s ones on my phone there’s the button where you can cast it to your telly, but never tried it myself.
 
I think it's great but it definitely isn't without its faults. Start of this season the opening weekend I couldn't get Redzone playing at all for hours, it seems the opening game every season loads of folk have issues with it. I heard in one of the recent Superbowls it went down and people lost their feed while watching it live. Another issue is if you are watching something and get an hour or so in and need to stop it then it doesn't remember where you stopped it if it goes off. You then spend ages forwarding the bugger back to where you were and if you were watching Redzone that can take quite a while.

That being said it's normally spot on playing stuff, I use a VPN with it so I can watch blacked out games on it. Any live games on Sky are blacked out for 24 hours or so, you can't watch the game live or the full replay or match in 40 minutes during that period so the VPN gets me round this by latching onto a French or German server.
LI usually watch the first set of matches on Redzone. If I'm not staying up to watch one of the later kickoffs or continuing to watch Redzone I'll catch up on the second lot of games by watching them all in 40 minutes. Quite often I'll watch the Thursday night, Sunday night and Monday night games in full unless it's not really a game I'm bothered about in which case it usually ends up a thriller while I'm watching the game in 40.
Full game replays are good as they cut out a lot of the commercials and breaks and they usually last just over 2 hours. Mind if you watch a full replay very shortly after a game has finished it's about 3 hours as they haven't cut very much or anything out of it yet

I do exactly that when watching the lads via the safsee app, it's a bit jittery at times but usually works well enough. For gamepass I've got my PS4 and a couple of Firesticks dotted around the house which are much better than screen casting

I’ve had it for two year and never had any issues. It’s good if your team is regularly playing at 6pm.
 
Thanks for the replies all, I’ll sign up for it in a week or so, Washington aren’t playing again TIL 8th November so i can manage with the free version now and watch nfl network, then upgrade nearer the time... when the game is on, handy that my team are usually a 6pm game as well so makes easy viewing time wise
