Gameday thread Bears at Cardinals 8-19-17

[Mitch]

How is Ellington a faller when every single back could not run the ball? Ellington had a 2.2yd per carry which was tops of the night. Even though that's a terrible avg. No blocking whatsoever last night.

That whole unit with Stanton at QB and Ellington at RB brought such little enthusiasm and energy. You are right, the offensive line was flat and getting handled at the p.o.a. pretty much all night. But, the whole chemistry of that unit seemed poor.

Yeah, 2nd string QB is officially in discussion again.

Not with BA.

Just stared watching the game and two possessions in, our O-line is cause for concern, IMO.

Big time. If Carson has a year like last year, this year will probably be his last. And I don't blame him.

Run D is garbage thus far.

Just started watching also. All that's happened so far is my wife said she will give me $280 herself for NFL package so she doesn't have to listen to Wolfley all season.

Man... watching a stream last night...the lull time during ads is excruciatingly long. The NFL really has to do something about this. Triple up on ads at the quarter breaks but an string of ads at the end of every possession is ridiculous.

Three possessions in, it's no longer a concern, it's a huge problem. Palmer must've been hit 6-7 times and run blocking horrific.

 

[BigRedRage]

Someone probably let Bodha into the game and people could not stand him any longer and who could blame the fans lol

Screw Williams he can't defend the deep ball!

As well as Badger looked picking that ball off IMO it's a concern he didn't score! Seriously wtf how did he not?

I thought he should have went down instead of risking injury on the runback in preseason.

I wonder if this is another reason we shouldnt have camp in our stadium. The guys didnt seem jacked up to play at all but they have been playing on that field for a month.

Definitely a concern. CP can't be hit that many times each game.

Hassan Reddick is not showing me much so far in the preseason.

Stanton playing like DA...

 

[MrYeahBut]

Stanton playing like DA...

No kidding. It's hard to watch. Waaaayyy off target.

The final play of the game was on Gabbert...

Gabbert and Ross were not on the same page, not sure who had the wrong read.

 

[JeffGollin]

Is the NFL Network gonna replay this game? I don't see it on their schedule at all!?

Tonight is my annual test of the FoxsportsAZ blackout strangeness.

As in past years, FoxSportsAZ replay telecast of the 1st (normal) preseason game (Oakland) aired on DirecTV without issue.

Tonite (6:30 pm ET; 6:00 pm pregame) the Bear game replay is supposed to be aired.

Which is where things might get dicey - Sometimes this game isn't blacked out/sometimes it is. Let us pray.

QB Blaine Gabbert has now led to six scoring drives (4 TDs, 2 FGs) for the Cardinals this preseason. His cap number for this year $615K.
