Bears at Chargers (-9) Pregame Discussion (Wk 8)

[21&500]

Every game is a "get right game", its getting old...

Perhaps. Well start a GDT with a new focus.
gotta get this mojo going!

[Ex Fan]

Totally agree - the excuses are getting old. No - actually they're beyond excuses now. This has to be one of the worst owned and managed teams in the NFL. SAME OLD CHARGERS

FUdeans record is very good when they score 30 points or more. They’ll have a complete collapse in all facets of the game to not score 30 points on the Bears. And it’s on their home turf (which I’ll never understand). Turf in SoCal???

LA Times beat writer Jeff Miller picks the Bears 22-20. We’re circling the drain in terms of confidence

Interesting they are not promoting Nick Vannett for this game. He couldn't be worse than McKitty at TE

Is the tank on?

[Bolt-O]

Can someone please start the GDT? It just can't be me. (Or I'll pick a random post from today to move, edit and stick... but that might not sit well with the karma gods.)

Edit... If no one starts it, this thread will become the Game Day Thread at 10am Pacific.

Staley and Telesco have to win a lot of games in this season to save their jobs so I don't believe a tank job is in progress. More likely it's a numbers game with the uncertainty with Palmer and Davis gets touches at WR along with the Bears not having a great pass rush.

That guy never picks us to win a game so its nothing special.

I remember Staley saying that he doesn't give his starters any preseason playing time because his practices better simulate actual games than preseason games. I have always thought that was a BS statement. Staley raves about his practices, after a loss in the press conference he talks about how hard his guys practice. I just think at this point Staley is delusional, what he believes about his team and his philosophy don't mesh with reality

I have also had issues with their obsession with social media. They seemed very pleased with themselves when their social media gets mentioned or wins an award, like it's their way of winning. The Spanoses seem to think they will build a fan following with social media. I say social media is meaningless if they don't win. Some don't agree, but this is where I am old school. If the team wins, the fans will come. No amount of social media is going create more fans if the team doesn't win.

THIS - you sir are correct . . . . . . . . . . .

Rodney Harrison saying tonight that Brandon Staleys use of James is so wrong….he should not be 20 yards off the ball down the field, but rather closer to the line of scrimmage and blitzing the when the situation dictates.

I totally agree Steley gets the least amount of production out of his talent than anyone in football. He has no clue defensively or I offensively his schemes suck. He is simply a bad football coach …..He needs to be gone ASAP. Should have been gone after the Jacksonville loss
