Intentional grounding after the two minute warning incurs a 10-second runoff, and the Bears ended up having to use their final timeout to avoid it.

Which they'd have done if he took the sack too?

My bad, I misunderstood your post and thought you implied the grounding penalty would have preserved the timeout. Yeah, a sack/intentional grounding basically had the same consequences that play. I'm not sure what the exact criticism is/who said it, but maybe they were thinking that Fields had the opportunity to get the ball near an eligible receiver to avoid the penalty?

The Commanders put up a good fight against the Eagles. They're going to obliterate the Bears.

The Bears just lost to a team that had 70 dropped on them a week prior.

No one deserves to get blown out by Washington in a Thursday night game. It’s going to happen but it’s still undeserved. Maybe the whole team can stay home.

Ok i finally watched the highlights of the game can someone please explain to me why they didn't kick the loving field goal tied 28-28 from the 25 with like 4 minutes left?

The weirdest part of that is they lined up to draw the Broncos offsides. When they didn't jump, they used a timeout and then proceeded to go for it anyway.

Bears spent $92 million on two linebackers who have been mostly bad (especially Edmunds). Meanwhile Roquan is playing out of his mind for Baltimore and Morrow has been one of the best linebackers in football for Philly.

For all the talk about how Poles was given nothing, most of the players he let go sure are kicking rear end for other teams.

I think the HITS principle fell apart when he switched the T from "Takeaways" to "The Ball." Just flippantly changing one of the cornerstone elements of an advanced formula it presumably took years to put together must have been a real scales-falling-from-the-eyes moments for the players. Can't trust a coach after that

Ive been listening to 670 AM part of the day and am unreasonably excited for Thursday's game. The John fox era I just stopped watching (just like I barely watch the Illini) but this year long train crash is fine entertainment. I didn't pay any attention to last year's Thursday night game with Washington but hoo boy am I ready for Chase Young to obliterate these tackles

I think win or lose, if the D still looks as suspect as it did vs the Seahawks, and I keep seeing zero pash rush along with soft rear end or blown coverage, Glenn's seat needs to get real drat hot. No excuse for the talent not being there, figure it the gently caress out.

That’s just a branch of the Sean Payton coaching tree, which is itself a single branch.
