No they arent.

It's Jason Whitten for god sakes. He just finished a 15 year career with the Cowboys...why would he possibly have ANY affiinity for the Bears?

LOL

And both him and Witten are chastising that whole Seattle drive saying they need to be more urgent when they are moving the ball decently for the first time, but more importantly there was 13 mins left.

They are both over dramatic. Wonder if that's part of the shtick to make MNF more cutting edge but they sound pathetic in understanding the game.

Totally, the Hawks are running hurry up and Witten says their not showing enough urgency? Whatever.

Trubisky is a pretty weak QB. If Chicago had a decent QB they would be going to the Super Bowl this season.

What’s that got to do with how he’s calling the game? When the Bears have the ball they’re on helium. Seattle O and sounds like their dog ran away.

Trubisky is still less than a season worth of starts in his NFL career and has a completely brand new coaching staff so I'm willing to cut him some slack.

But the clock is ticking and the city is running out of patience, Chicago moved up to get this guy and has now put him in a position to win, he needs to start making smarter decisions and putting his team in a position the win

The fact that you're calling Witten a homer when he is a career HOF player with the Cowboys...

PRINCE! YES!

to me they have been praising Wilson all night... not sure why, take away the best d and a great running game and he isnt that special.

Yeah I understand that he is young and the offense is still coming together but he just doesn't have that spark or excitement that would make him an excellent QB. He has a great arm and delivery but he just seems one dimensional. I think he would be a great guy to have on the bench as a backup but I don't see him carrying an offense.

the idea that a long time player that now commentates can be biased about a team that he didn’t play for .... ��

First pick 6 in years for him but then another idiotic play holding onto the ball 2 seconds long and another fumble.

transplant99 · 09-17-2018, 09:06 PM

I guess people hear what they want to hear.

I really like this duo....especially since they are brand new together.

dirk diggler · 09-17-2018, 09:18 PM

nice spike, loser

DropIt · 09-17-2018, 09:20 PM

Glad to see Trubisky rebound the way he did after back to back picks. He really settled down.

That defense is the heart of the team... This is the type of defense that they always wished Cutler had. If they can put up points the defense can seal games every week

The idea that a now commentator would latch on to Chicago of all teams... I could see him being biased for the Cowboys or against the Eagles, Giants or Skins.... but to hate the Hawks and back the Bears...

All the while Matt Hasslebeck is on the sidelines crying about his team losing. There is certainly one homer on the broadcast team

Rams vs Jags super bowl?

I want to see those ratings.

It's a real possibility. Rams IMO are the class of the league so as long as they stay heathy it's hard to imagine any other NFC team beating them this season. The Jags look like the best team in the AFC but I don't know if I could ever feel comfortable with Bortles as in a must win game with everything on the line as he could lose a game all by himself.

I think he's really good and that the talent around him has eroded to the point where he's basically the only player holding the team together. He's got mediocre offensive weapons a bad offensive line and now a mediocre defense. You can argue the Seahawks could be the worst team in the league if they had a lesser QB.

Senator Clay Davis · 09-18-2018, 07:33 AM

At some point the Seahawks will have to seriously consider moving Wilson to start the inevitable rebuild. That roster is old and lacking in younger talent. I'm sure a QB desperate team would easily give up three first round picks for him, and you can rebuild pretty quickly if you have six first round picks in three drafts.
