Chicago Bears VS. Carolina Panthers - 2nd Half Game Thread

Briggsie_tiny by ChiFan13 on Comment 516 comments

1st half studs:

Matt Forte - Hasn't scored, but kept drives alive and milked the clock.

Kyle Orton - He gets it because he hasn't done anything to lose the game for us.

Brandon Lloyd - Slowly shaking the "best practice player" reputation.

1st half duds:

Brandon McGowan - Come on bro, two illegal blocks on ST? You're better than that.

Greg Olsen - Really only putting him here because no one else has been doing bad.

The "Here's your sign" award goes to:

.....Carolina's entire team. They've made a ton of stupid penalties.

The All-World complainer award goes to:

Jake Delhomme. Don't complain to the officials about penalties when your team can't figure it out. Anger's an ugly color on you, Jakey.

We get the ball so let’s put a nice drive together. Our return game needs to step it up and get us field position.

by tfrabotta on Sep 14, 2008 1:30 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

offense needs to step up

orton needs to get his head right, couple of forced balls that were not smart.

Not sharp?

He started 6/6

Fire Angelo!!

by GallopingGhost on Sep 14, 2008 1:34 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He got bailed out on one by Lloyd and threw no passes over 5 yards.

That’s not real impressive.

Kick it to me... I'm open!

by #23 on Sep 14, 2008 1:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Let's see.

He threw it behind Davis in the endzone
Threw it in the ground on a screen to Davis
Behind Lloyd which bailed him out
Out of bands on the deep pass to I can’t remember who
A play that was forced to I think Llyod that had 2 defenders that both should have picked it off.

I would say not real sharp.

Kick it to me... I'm open!

… an Orton deep throw really bad?

by mike b on Sep 14, 2008 3:12 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yup...

… because Orton telegraphing that pass on 3rd and 1 was better than Grossman. Or Orton throwing the ball into the dirt a couple of plays earlier…

by mike b on Sep 14, 2008 3:19 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

umm...

Orton, for the most part, has also been “shit” for most of his career.

But at least Grossman can win games for a team.

by big_lowitzki on Sep 14, 2008 3:27 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

he can?

suprised we didn’t start out 3-0 last year then

and i am even more suprised that we won a single game without him in 05.

how either one of you “i love this guy” groups can support either one of them is beyond me.

by mike b on Sep 14, 2008 3:29 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

bs

I didnt say that he can win games by himself. I think that he can make plays that Orton simply cannot make.

I would have been much more confident with Rex in that final drive than Orton.

And I don’t love Grossman… I just think he is a better option than Orton.

what's the point

of picking out two bad plays by one qb and comparing it to another who has made the same amount of shit mistakes if not more? no matter what the name is.

by mike b on Sep 14, 2008 3:31 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

fair enough

I used two examples about how Orton really is not good.

Again, I just think that Rex was a better option, is a better option, and will continue to be a better option.

Dude are you going to tell me Orton didn't suck today?

I’m not saying Rex vs. Kyle, but you’re saying only 2 bad plays. Come on he was horrible today. He audibled well and was lucky not to get picked if you can call that a talent. He couldn’t make a play all day!!!

Kick it to me... I'm open!

by #23 on Sep 14, 2008 3:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

huh?

he audibled (is that a word) well?

you do know that he called an audible on that horrible 3rd and 1 play at the end of the game, where he called a play that you should not call when the corner is playing tight coverage at the line of scrimmage.

horrible audible

to be honest i am not thrilled to see him audibling too much anyway.

I wonder if Hester will ever return for a touchdown again

They are after him and avoid him so much… so he needs to really step in up in the receiver slot.

Once he starts making an impression as a receiver...

They will plan for him more as a receiver, and he will get a better opportunity.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

I'll bet everything I own on it he will. Maybe even today.

It seems like when things are really quiet with him, all of the sudden he breaks one. Mark my words.

At the same time

All Tavaris has to do is be a game manager. 7 yards is not being a game manager, it’s being horrible.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

We need to put someone back there besides Vasher

Vasher is our corner, and D-Manning doesn’t play, so why not put him back there?

remember whose record Hester broke vs. New York?

by tempchad on Sep 14, 2008 2:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think it's more because Vashar is a much more important...

…and much more expensive piece of the puzzle these days. Part of the reason Manning was drafted was because of his supposed return skillzzzzz.

He ran out bounds and clutched his side.

They say it may be a rib or abdominal injury. He went off on a cart and looked like he was in lots of pain. No hit though.

by lopey986 on Sep 14, 2008 2:27 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm seriously wondering what he's trying to accomplish with these throws.

He’s not going to get the defense to backup showcasing his arm like this. He’s not going to hit any recievers throwing like this. He could throw a pick throwing like this.

by tempchad on Sep 14, 2008 2:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Well, at least they're ahead.

Allow two or three first downs to the Panthers, make them punt. Get one first down, punt.

Repeat.

Game over.

by tyger1147 on Sep 14, 2008 2:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Sure, sure.

Easier than a big play, in my opinion.

The offense has had the ball for 51 plays. The Panthers have only run 41. The defense should be rested enough.

are you watching this second half here?

They are starting to tire and offense has gone stagnant

by tempchad on Sep 14, 2008 2:34 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No, I'm not "watching."

I understand they’re tiring. I’m just saying they shouldn’t be worn out. I guess if they are… that’s a different question.

by tyger1147 on Sep 14, 2008 2:36 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I guess both things work, too.

I wanted them to limit the first downs, you wanted the big play. They kind of did both, so far. I just think that, being ahead, they don’t need to risk giviing up a big play to try to get a big play.

Makes coaches and GM’s look good. Plus they are probably testing his stamina too. We really haven’t had many long drives this half to wear him out either.

2) Why is Vasher returning kicks?

It’s not like he’s misplaying it, he simply doesn’t have the arm to make the deep throws.

by ChiFan13 on Sep 14, 2008 2:40 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

actually he is misplaying it.

when you OVERTHROW the guy that is a misplay. if he was consistently underthrowing him then you could make the claim that he doesn’t have the arm.

by lopey986 on Sep 14, 2008 2:40 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He can't throw the deep ball accurately.

It looks to me like when he tries to throw the deep ball he just rears back and chucks it, and he can’t be very accurate with it.

I has a blog. | Ask a sabermagician!

by cwyers on Sep 14, 2008 2:42 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly.

Orton’s mechanics change, even if only a little, to get more oomph on the ball. That makes him less accurate.

by tyger1147 on Sep 14, 2008 2:43 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It is a skill.

He can throw further than that. He needed to give it more loft so the receiver could time it. Orton just winds up and throws with no ability to judge distance.

Rookies just don't carry it that much.

They’re either limited by the coaching staff w/ the eye towards the future, or they get hurt because the workload (in addition to the actual hits) is just that much more than in college.

The last rookie RB to have as many carries as Forte is on pace for was LT in 2001. Sure, he might not. I’m just “going with the odds.” I

when the defense collapses and we actually need the offense to put one in the endzone it is going to be hard to do because they are so accustomed to managing the ball.
