I'm most interested to see if that D line is for real. Next, if they can find that 2nd safety.

I'm excited to to Bullard. I don't know how his camp went but I think he has a chance to be a starter.

Also to see is Breaverman lives up to the hype

Jay needs to move out of the pocket. Stayed to long there or just held on to the ball. This line so far doesn't look like they will be able to give him time.

The defense certainly looks better, other than that gaf by the cb. Especially the pass rush.

Offense looks blah.

He might be the worst qb in the NFL when it comes to noticing/adjusting for the blitz

Watching on NFL network. Why is Unrein the starting end?

Cutler is who he is, but the biggest take away from this game is offensive line looks like a big work in progress. Loggains and Fox will have to get Cutler out of the pocket and or just work on quick pass plays. Also because of the line, the running game looked terrible.

Hmm, the Bears D got a little pressure at times on opening drive, but a poor start.

2nd drive it looked like the D were being physically dominated until Sanchez chucked the ball up. Not liking the 1st team D so far

3rd drive better for the D. Was a little worried there.

If I remember right Trestman had him out of the pocket a lot and he played fairly well. Not to mention we put up 30 a game. I wouldn't mind seeing us playing offense like we did back then to some extent. Plus since we barely used forte back then it would be sort of the same now

That was a tough watch. This said, if they'd have looked good, I'd've said that it was only the first preseason game and we shouldn't read too much into it. Still...

I think the starting front 7 looked good. Callahan (I think) made the error against Thomas.

The offensive line is the biggest problem I saw.

Also really like stuff I saw from our rookie DBs. They made some nice plays and show athleticism.

well the front 7 will need to be dominant with this secondary. For some reason, the current defense can hardly finish plays. Nothing is different so far. I don't like getting beat by Mark Sanchez, completing 77% of his passes on pace for 400 yards. Not that it can't get better. Just sayin. Don't get me wrong. I like the Fangio hire. He needs to get some results this year.

And Unrein starting doesn't blow my hair back. What the hell.

I like what I saw from Bullard. He was my favorite pick in this draft. Especially considering where we got him.
