MNF: Da Bears vs. Stillers

[BobPSU92]

Big Ben vs. the rookie from uga Tosu. Assuming the pre-game warm-up shots a few minutes ago were live, there are a lot of empty seats at The Ketchup Bottle just a few minutes before kickoff.

 

[BobPSU92]

The stadium filled in for kickoff, as one would expect.

 

[GregInPitt]

A win before the game even started is not having to listen to Romo, Aikman or Joe Buck........

Nice start for the Steelers - pass the ball down the field and then run it in.

7- zip, good guys.

 

[BobPSU92]

7-0, Stillers. Harris runs it in. Da Bears went three and out on their first possession. Then the Stillers marched down the field.

 

[GregInPitt]

Steelers defense looks good so far. Hopefully ARob doesn't go off this evening....

 

[Bones80]

Nice run by Friermuth for 9 earlier

 

[GregInPitt]

Steelers with 49 wins on Monday Night Football, most in the league, tied with the 49ers........

 

[GregInPitt]

Freiermuth with the TD !!

 

[BobPSU92]

TD, Freiermuth! 14-0, Stillers, early 2nd quarter.

 

[Karl_Racki]

Is Andy Dalton available for the Bears? If he is no reason why he shouldn't be starting, Fields is horrible.

18 straight. Haven’t lost since 1991 on MNF

ARob go off? hahahahahahhahahahah

Not with that guy at Q

 

[BobPSU92]

Yeah, fields looks bad.

 

[BobPSU92]

A shank punt by the Stillers sets up Da Bears near midfield. Let’s see if fields can take advantage of the short field.

 

[BobPSU92]

Good start on this drive by Da Bears. fields to Kmet for about 20 yards.

 

[BobPSU92]

Watt buries fields for the sack. Watt got there so fast you’d think he lined up in the backfield.

 

[Karl_Racki]

Watt is such a beast.. In on every play

 

[BobPSU92]

I’ve never seen this before. The Stillers punted, and the ball fell dead. A Stiller pulled a Bear back until his foot contacted the ball, trying to convince the refs of a live ball recovered by the Stillers. Didn’t work.

 

[BobPSU92]

Bears settle for a field goal as the drive breaks down in the red zone. 14-3, Stillers, with 15 seconds left in the 1st half.

 

[Bones80]

Bears on the board, but they don’t look capable of scoring too many

 

[BobPSU92]

There are a fair number of empty seats at the start of the 2nd half.

There are a fair number of empty seats at the start of the 2nd half.

Discos, distractions galore.

 

[BobPSU92]

Da Bears got a bad break on a bad low-block call that negated a touchdown. They also got screwed on a late hit to fields that wasn’t called on that possession. Da Bears settle for another field goal. 14-6, Stillers, 7:43 left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Bones80]

Bears with another 3 after a pair of questionable calls did not go their way

 

[BobPSU92]

TD, Freiermuth! Boswell misses the extra point. Stillers lead, 20-6, with 2:08 to go in the 3rd.

 

[Bones80]

Friermuth with his second TD!

 

[GregInPitt]

Freiermuth is going to be a TD machine for the Steelers for a long time. He gets open and wins a good percentage of the 50-50 ball in the air plays.....

 

[GregInPitt]

Announcers crying about Fields getting hit, but the first hit by Fitzpatrick was a great hit on a runner that should have gone out of bounds instead of trying for the first down. The second on Fields lame attempt at a slide as he was about to get hit was legit also as the defender was already in the act of tackling him when he slid sideways. On the last one it was 50-50 as the defender was being block and then took a step or two and chested into Fields, with Fields doing a good acting job and falling down like he was hit by Joe Green. Ben gets hit harder than that 5+ times a game on plays that are not called. For the most part Fields is a runner and he going to get busted unless he clearly slides or goes OOB's before contact.

 

[BobPSU92]

Bears TD. Where was the Stillers’ defense there? 20-13.

 

[Karl_Racki]

I remember people complain that the Steelers didn't take an OL in the first two rounds, but they got two studs that are going to be stars in this league.

 

[Bones80]

Stillers answer with 54 yd fg

 

[MJG-90]

They have a young line that will get better and better. And they’ll probably add to it in the next draft.

 

[BobPSU92]

Stillers fumble returned by the Bears for a TD. 23-20, Stillers, with 6:31 left in the 4th.

 

[Bones80]

Stillers muff the punt. TD Bears.

 

[Karl_Racki]

They have a young line that will get better and better. And they’ll probably add to it in the next draft.

At some point there going to have to draft a QB. Been hearing now they may make a run for Bridgewater in FA, but at some point they still gotta draft one. Can they get a Pickett or Liberty QB in the second or third round or both be gone?

 

[Bones80]

Stillers with a fg for 6 pt lead

 

[FK3JM]

I’m not a bears fan but that taunting penalty was ***. Officials are such clowns. Marsh is a moron too for staring down the Steelers bench.

 

[Bones80]

ARob with catch and run to set up Bears TD. Kick will put Bears up by 1. 1:46 left

 

[BobPSU92]

fields hits Robinson for 39 yards to set up the Bears just outside the red zone. Then fields hits Mooney for a TD. 27-26, Bears, with 1:46 to go.

 

[Psu00]

27-26 Chicago. 1:46 to go.
