The Bears made only one defensive player available postgame and that was Smith, who was credited with a team-high 11 tackles. He was in the tough spot of serving as spokesman for the unit. There was a few here and there. It was just a couple plays that they got. I remember talking to a scout more than a year and a half ago and he told me he and others with his team were spending an exhaustive amount of offseason time on it.
Who manufactured explosive plays and why? Who was routinely beaten by explosive plays and why? It was as if they were on a mission to unlock the key to winning football games.
That was the story of this Week 1 game. The Bears gave up two huge pass plays for touchdowns, another long completion that set up a touchdown and lost by 20 points. Darnell Mooney has all the speed a receiver ever would need and had five catches for 26 yards. The Bears had only one completion go for more than 11 yards.
Starter Jason Peters went to the sideline late in the second quarter with a quad injury and rookie Larry Borom suffered a left ankle injury leading to Elijah Wilkinson coming in.
If Matt Nagy was considering many deeper routes and slower developing plays, this probably gave him pause. He said there was a double move called on the play that resulted in a sack for Aaron Donald. It was a really a nice game for David Montgomery as he totaled yards on 16 carries, the first Bears running back to top yards in the season opener since Matt Forte had in a loss to the Packers in They had a play drive that went 49 yards before turning it over on downs.
Think about the really impressive teams. They can all move the ball in big chunks. There will be better weeks for the defense than this one, no doubt. You knew Matt Nagy was going to find a way to get the rookie on the field and he did, for five snaps. Fields made an RPO read and went with the pass, firing a 9-yard strike to Marquise Goodwin on his first snap.
He wound up with a touchdown in his NFL debut, scoring on a 3-yard run. He completed a shovel pass for one yard and handed off two times. They had certain situations, particularly in the red zone, and they called his name. The Bears wound up being blown out and it was dink and dunk from Andy Dalton, who completed 27 of 38 passes for yards. He was picked off once on a deflected pass intended for Darnell Mooney in the end zone. The Bears were a modest 5 for 11 on third down, no small feat considering how terrible they were in this metric a year ago and in the preseason.
So the offense was moving the ball. The Bears got stalled out a little in the red zone, ran into roadblocks on fourth down and the defense gave up the big plays. The pro-Fields crowd is going to point out that the rookie first-round draft pick is the ingredient needed to unlock explosive plays in the offense. But it was telling that his passes came on an RPO and a gadget shovel pass, and he ran three times. You just kind of get that experience in there and just being out there and getting used to the speed and stuff.
Yes, he had the one sack but it was a quiet game. Former Bear Leonard Floyd was also held in check. There were ample running lanes and they looked strong on the interior as some figured they would. That being said, I have no idea what the Bears are going to do at left tackle. The year-old has been hampered by injuries for the last four seasons and none of the NFL folks I spoke to around the league, from front office men to scouts and coaches, figured there was a chance Peters would come close to giving the Bears a full season.
It could be Peters is back before his replacement Larry Borom, who suffered a left ankle injury at the end of the shovel pass from Justin Fields to Allen Robinson.
But Andy Dalton was hit only three times — all three on sacks — and the ground game got running. There are some positives for offensive line coach Juan Castillo to work with. One can only imagine McCaskey was exuberant when Justin Fields slid out of the top 10 in the first round of the NFL draft and Pace maneuvered up, paying a high price to trade with the New York Giants to get a young quarterback that could lead the franchise down a path toward progress.
However, Pace has declined questions about the timeline for his employment. That will remain a story until the day someone steps up and provides clarity. However, recent history shows not as many coaches get the opportunity to see through the growth process with a first-round quarterback. From through — a span of six drafts — there were 20 quarterbacks selected in Round 1. The head coach was fired after the rookie season of 10 of those quarterbacks.
There is turnover throughout the league annually. In the six-year span, there was an average of 6. Coaches with rookie quarterbacks were much more susceptible to losing their job. If you remove three outliers — Lynch and Kubiak stepped down at the end of his rookie season , Jackson as the 32nd pick by Baltimore in and Love, who was drafted in a unique position behind Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay — that leaves 17 quarterbacks drafted in the top half of Round 1.
Ten coaches in this group Doug Pederson went on to a Super Bowl victory in Philadelphia with Wentz starring for the majority of the regular season. Allen was drafted into a stabile situation in Buffalo.

Fine for the post-intermission spot. Jimmy Jacobs vs Colt Cabana Thanks to his raging and reckless infatuation with Lacey, Jimmy Jacobs is now fighting a war on two fronts. Now he has to face the consequences of what he and Lacey did to Colt Cabana last time we visited this building for Irresistible Forces. He tried to help new friend Jimmy see the light but ultimately Jacobs sided with Lacey and together they put a wicked beating on Colt.
Jimmy Jacobs looks crazy-psyched up for this. They take swings at each other but Cabana gets distracted by Lacey. He grabs one of her shoes looking for revenge from Irresistible Forces. He ends up bending Jimmy over in the corner and grabbing Lacey in order to gesticulate that she anally pleasures Jacobs. Finally Lacey manages to trip him in the apron allowing Jacobs to hit the trampoline double stomp. Next he climbs onto the railings to hit a flying elbow smash. The next few minutes are basically spent brawling around ringside, featuring some trademark insane Jimmy Jacobs guardrail bumps.
This elaborate interlinked feud with Jacobs, Lacey, Whitmer, Cabana and to a lesser extent Daizee Haze is pretty unique and is definitely one of the more exciting things going on in ROH right now but this match was more in here for storyline advancement than match quality. That being said, I was very impressed with the level of intensity Jacobs and Lacey doing a good job outside the ring brought to the contest.
It was his performance that really made this brief match a semi-decent back and forth duel. Jimmy is the key to the success or failure or this complex plot and right now he is SO spot on with his tortured emo lover gimmick that it just sucks you in. She then holds Daizee prone for Jimmy to nail her with a big spear. I winced just watching that. BJ Whitmer runs in for a late save.
Man, this storyline just keeps getting more people added to it. Nigel McGuinness then limps to the ring. I think you can also roll out at any time. I like the attention to past angles right there. After barely doing anything Matt starts limping around the ring. He and Strong are pretty respectful of each other given their history, but Roddy gets the upper hand with a tilta-whirl backbreaker.
Shingo makes the mistake of putting a headscissors on Aries and eats dropkick. He chinlocks Aries and uses his power to dominate the former World Champion. Sydal takes a hint from that and possibly because his knee is still bothering him by working an abdominal stretch. He eventually gets too cocky after a dropkick and Strong ploughs through him with a knee to the back. Aries tries to lay some shots in on Shingo but gets his eyes raked for his trouble. Swinging sleeper slam gets the Japanese import a 2-count.
Sydal goes for the jumping super rana but Aries hangs onto the ropes. He continues his resurgence with a rana on Shingo then gets the tag to his partner. Strong in with a superplex, but Shingo no sells. Sydal takes Roderick into the corner but Strong rolls through his super rana attempt.
That almost won it for BloodGen. Aries and Strong take a hard-fought victory by pinning Sydal at The DG rules lead to a few moments of confusion. They are far too interpretative and in truth, all they actually seem to facilitate is more spots and less need for the referee to feel obligated to enforce a legal man.
I thought he played up the new cocky streak to his character very well though. Definitely something to keep an eye on. It was then that Samoa Joe officially challenged Danielson to a title match.
But he was still preoccupied with the CZW feud at that point. They eliminated each other from Survival Of The Fittest by going to another draw 20 minutes this time in their qualification match, after which Dragon attacked Joe using the title belt that Joe made so famous during his run.
A scheduled title match at Irresistible Forces was abandoned when Danielson refused to put the belt on the line. Both men make it a priority to launch each other into the cage but early attempts prove unsuccessful and it breaks down into a striking game. Obviously that favours Joe and the champion ends up trying to escape the cage. That was pretty brutal. Dragon looks to bail and sneak a victory for the third time in the opening minutes but gets hauled down from the top rope again.
He does it one more time, but this time when Joe tries to stop him Danielson uses it to get a free shot to the face. Nevertheless Joe responds by elbow smashing him against the cage and busting the champion open. This has been totally one-sided so far.
Homicide is at ringside he looks high and he tosses Joe a ghetto fork. Dragon is already covered in blood and the fork does nothing but worsen matters…although Joe is so much less convincing it using it than Cide.
Danielson can barely stand at 10 minute as Joe gets all the free shots at him he wants. He tries to flee the cage again and Joe goes up after him this time. Danielson gets a shoulder up at 2. Joe goes the submission route next, powerbombing Dragon into first an STF then a Crossface with forehead clawing.
Danielson blocks a Musclebuster and climbs again. All of a sudden Joe thinks about climbing out for victory. He follows that with a swandive headbutt then a Regalplex for 2. Crossface Chickenwing applied only for Joe to stand up and sling him into the cage again. Now he tries to escape again!
