There just seem to be so many penalties today. So many personal fouls for hits. So many that look like there was nothing that the defender could have done.

The Dunlap sack on Luck was really hard to see how he could have done anything differently.

Yup, just from watching RedZone I saw at least three of those landing on the QB penalties that were really soft. That’s going to cost a few teams games this year. Typical overreaction to a flagrant incident that injured a star player, the way the rule is written and they way they are calling it there is nothing these defensive players can do. Not sure how a 300lb defensive lineman is supposed to magically hold his weight off the QB when tackling him.

I could have bought a ticky-tack helmet to the chin call, but that part of the sack was okay.

Just watched the highlights of the Browns-Steelers game. Talk about the most Browns-esque way to finish a game.

I guess the "have your big lineman line up as a receiver and run up the middle" play is pretty good.

Bears up 10, Rodgers is in the medical tent, not a good start to the Packer's season.

I feel like the whole police/anthem/trump protests could be changed. It's gotten to the point, where people are over saturated with it. It might be more effective if football players, in every single interview, called out police brutality, the attacks of the president on the players, and the need for solutions, and do that, instead of talking about the game itself. I know they have a requirement to talk to the media, but it seems like it would be effective, and a way to keep the discussion pointed in the right direction.

Days like today give ammo to Drew Brees detractors and fans.
If you are a detractor, you point out that the guy is always in shootouts, which gives him opportunities to put up yards that other QBs don't have. If you are a fan, you point out that if he had an average defense for his whole career, he'd average 12+ wins a season. All of which is really just an intellectual exercise because Ryan Fitzpatrick is clearly the best QB in NFL history. |

Horrific play calling by the Bears there that last series. Two time outs and you only need a field goal and they throw all long passes. They have 4 downs to work with to get about 20 yards. How about a screen pass or a run to mix it up? Terrible ending.

When Rogers came back in, Fangio should have blitzed every down. Nope. All this talk about Nagy's offense and all of the weapons...ha! Nagy clearly needs more seasoning. His play calling in the 2nd half was atrocious. Meaningless dink passes to the outside; playing not to lose. Guess what? Losing teams figure out a way to lose and winning teams win. Simple.

Yep, combined with too conservative an approach in third quarter and all kinds of struggles with third-and-short all night, and it was not a great debut for the new coach/playcaller in Chicago. |

Can you go back and look at what the lines were at the books that have betting throughout the game? What was the Packers' money line at the end of the first half?

Rodgers was 2 for 2 for 126 yards and a TD when the Bears blitzed. Blitzing Rodgers never seems to work. Bears were just gassed in the 4th. Nagy's light training camp didn't seem to get the team conditioned for real football games. |

Also agree with you about Pace, but this is what the Bears are under the McCaskey ownership. Mismanagement and poor football decisions are what they do. |

For the Lions, the concern, at the moment, is the opposite. Apparently, Patricia's training camp was very, very hard. The hardest for any Lions team in a long time. There has been a lot written and discussed about the Lions poor performance in the pre-season due to the players being too worn down from the harsh training camp. It will be interested to see how they look tonight. I will say, if things don't go well against the Jets and Darnold, things could be very, very ugly for this new regime quite quickly.

Lots of talk today about the Saints D having communications issues yesterday, leading to blown coverages and big plays.
I think maybe the preseason pendulum has swung too far in favor of not playing starters. I get injury concerns, but guys need time to play together outside of comfortable practice situations. |

The Lions faced Matt Ryan in his rookie debut. While Ryan didn't have a huge day number-wise, the Falcons did jump out to a 21-0 nothing first quarter lead and ended up winning 34-21. Auspicious beginnings!
