Fan Journal: Bears blowout elicits best home atmosphere in years

On Sunday Chicago Bears T-Shirt , I was able to head out to Soldier Field to see the Chicago Bears take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While I was unable to take my usual day-after recap this week - ECD did a great job in my absence -I got to enjoy the game like a true fan, which is something I haven’t been able to do in quite a while.The Bears entered the matchup with a 2-1 record, and they had momentum on their side coming off of two straight wins. Combine that with the hot play of the Buccaneers heading into the game, and I expected a game that the crowd would be invested in from start to finish. In a way, I was right, but it wasn’t for the reason I had expected.The Bears jumped out to a lead less than three minutes into the first quarter off of a touchdown pass from Mitchell Trubisky to Trey Burton on a wheel route. Considering Trubisky’s relative lack of flashy plays on deep passes, the play served as a confidence booster for both the quarterback, the team and the fans. Little did we know that that pass was just a taste of what was to come.Trubisky, in case you haven’t heard already Chicago Bears Hats , went on to throw six touchdowns, four more than his career-high up to that point. Add in 354 passing yards, a 73.1 completion percentage, no interceptions and 53 yards on the ground, and the Bears’ 2017 first-round pick put together the best game of his young career en route to a 48-10 victory.Chicago’s defense was spectacular, too. They limited Ryan Fitzpatrick to 126 passing yards and a 50 percent completion percentage, picking him off once and sacking him twice. Jameis Winston, who made his return from a three-game suspension, was picked off twice and sacked twice. The Bears held the Buccaneers to 311 offensive yards Chicago Bears Womens Hoodie , they put consistent pressure on the quarterback, and they continued to force turnovers in ways that last year’s defense struggled to do. Khalil Mack picked up a fumble and a sack. Again. Eddie Jackson snagged his second interception of the season. Even fifth-round rookie Bilal Nichols had a fantastic game, ending up with 2.5 tackles for a loss and half of a sack.Amid their team’s dominance on both sides of the ball, Bears fans cheered every step of the way. Over the past few years, Soldier Field has been plagued by poor attendance and several no-shows, but one would not have been able to tell based off of Sunday’s game. The crowd was red hot in the first half, and those who didn’t choose to beat traffic still maintained a palpable amount of energy. I started losing my voice in the first quarter, which shows how much fun being at the game in person was.For the first time in years, there was hope in the air along Lake Michigan. After years of despair Womens Customized Chicago Bears Jerseys , Bears fans got to experience a truly dominant team. And I’m glad I got to be a part of it.Jacob Infante is a Chicago Bears writer at SB Nation’s Windy City Gridiron.

The biggest concern about the Seattle Seahawks' overhauled defense entering the season was probably the pass rush.The worries proved to be true in the season opener when the Seahawks generated just one sack and very little pressure against a quarterback that mostly sat in the pocket.The challenge in Week 2 will be different with the Seahawks facing the mobility of second-year Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, but the need to wreak at least some havoc in the backfield remains the same."Anytime you play you want to get the quarterback off the spot. Anytime you end up with one sack, everyone would like to have three or four," Seattle defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said. "It's something certainly we want to get better at. ... No question you want more pressure."Seattle's pass rush was perhaps a bigger worry going into the season than any of the changes that took place in its secondary. The Seahawks played most of last season without Cliff Avril due to a neck injury but still had Michael Bennett teaming with Frank Clark and finding success. Seattle finished last season 13th in the league with 39 sacks and was in the middle of the pack in the league rankings on the percentage of dropbacks that resulted in a sack. They were decent numbers considering the changes Seattle went through midseason with the loss of one of their top pass rushers.The overhaul in the offseason left most of the burden on Clark as really the only proven pass rusher on the roster. Avril hasn't completely shut the door on playing again, but it seems unlikely. Bennett was traded to Philadelphia as part of Seattle's changes.The opener against Denver showed there is still plenty to figure out.Clark had Seattle's lone sack, but just one of the five quarterback hits on Case Keenum. Seattle rarely brought pressure and the front four was unable to generate enough heat to make Keenum uncomfortable."We got stuck on the line of scrimmage on play passes and was really the part that was really disappointing that we didn't respond better to get into our pass-rush mode," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "It just happened. That's one phase of it and we would have liked to have got off on the edge a little better than we did. It's just stuff we've got to keep working on."Getting Dion Jordan on the field more would be a big boost for Seattle. Jordan was limited to just 15 plays in the opener after missing all of training camp with a lower leg injury. Jordan was only activated to from the physically unable to perform list when Seattle made its final cuts, and his inclusion in Week 1 was a bit of a surprise considering the time he missed."Not having those reps for a while I was definitely a little rusty but other than that I physically felt really good www.bearscheapstores.com ," Jordan said.Jordan flashed late last season when he finally was healthy enough to get back on the field. He had four sacks in five games last season and was seen as a major piece of the pass rush moving forward. Jordan said he should be on the field more considering the way he felt coming out of the opener."We've got to do a better job this week of sticking to our rush plan, sticking to it, and executing," Jordan said. "Understanding that certain quarterbacks and (offensive coordinators), they're going to try and get the ball out quick and block them up with eight guys in there so we can't get to them. We have to understand that and find a way around it."NOTES: Carroll didn't have updates on the timelines for three injured players: WR Doug Baldwin (knee), LB K.J. Wright (knee surgery) and G D.J. Fluker (hamstring). None of the three participated in practice Thursday. ... LB Bobby Wagner (groin) and rookie CB Tre Flowers (hamstring) also sat out practice.
