More Banjo: Week 1 @ Chicago

Also on that final series there was a QB hit (probably by a Smith) where he just ran into Trubisky just after the ball was thrown, with his head up and his arms down and just hit him with his chest. Still enough to knock Trubisky on his ass, but no chance for a penalty like Clay kept getting.

That was the same thought I had when Doc hit him. Somebody learned what to do in that situation.

"I've never had my butt fingered" Picked up by hot mike during the game. Harlan will be hardest hit by this news.

lol, that is amazing and Al Michaels laughing makes it even better!

I thought this was a wobbly, trash throw when watching it. From this angle, I understand why it was so wobbly.

Wow. Not sure if I should love or hate this. He's lucky it was completed in my opinion and I'd rather he get his foot work right. MVS had to nearly come to a full stop to make the catch.

Oh wow. Yeah. Amazing.

Oh wow. Yeah. Amazing.

He has incredible arm strength. You can see he's using his body and eyes to look everyone to the left and relying on arm strength to throw it where he wants it to the right. It's just very hard to throw a 50+ yard pass without stepping into it. But his body and eye mechanics did influence most of the defense.

Tramon Williams played all 73 snaps on defense. Again. This guy is amazing to be able to play every down as a 36 year old db.

Yep. Reminds me of CWood a little. I don’t know if you remember it the same way, but I recall Wood looking back for the ball and sort of Tripping the WR with incidental contact as he was looking for the ball... It was a dirty trick but he was good at it and got away with it damn near every time. Williams pulled that shit on that 7 route that Amos picked off. He looked back and happened to incidentally block the WR out. Savvy move. Intentional interference but looked incidental and by rule shouldn’t be called when both guys are going for ball.

Honestly I was expecting the Bears final drive to march down the field. This defense is night and day better than previous years.

I'll give Pettine a ton of credit for designing a great D game plan to put pressure on Trubisky and negate his ability to escape and scramble. The coverage was generally damn good too, BUT, that drive by the Bears at the end, it seemed like Pettine fell into the old prevent defense trap, for a while at least. I hope he learned from it and in the future, especially if the game is still close, just keep on doing what you did to get you to that point.

...as the oldest DB in the league.

Ridiculous arm talent. Terrible fundamentals. Honestly he could look off the safety there the exact same way and just take .6 seconds to set his feet and that's a touchdown on a well thrown ball.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks Tramon Williams stinks.

Guess I must be wrrr. wrrrroo

Fuck it. He stinks.

Not sure it was mentioned, but the punting and also coverage was excellent (even without Crawford). Nice to have a 63 yard punt when you need it to change field position.

Announcers said it was a line drive and returnable which was true until Cohen had to catch it over his shoulder while retreating.

That kid looked like Jon Ryan out there. Its either sky high and unreturnable for 42 yards or its a line drive bomb,

He’s gotta clean up the footwork. All night that’s a problem. That long pass to Davis was in the dirt too because of crappy footwork. He gone too far with the deliberate unset foot deal (which he claims reduces injury chance if he’s hit).

It's OK; somebody always has to be wrong
