Daniel Greenberg - Bears HC Matt Nagy told @LouCanellis that the starters won't play tomorrow night. The two's and threes will play for the majority of the game.

Well that sucks.

It would be crazy to play any starters in this game. Teams rarely do. I realize they have a new coach and offense but they have four more exhibitions to get in some work.
The 5th exhibition did allow them some extra time to practice in camp.

Still would be nice to see the starters for a series

That’s the crazy thing about preseason. We all miss football and want to see the new personnel but the cloud of potential injury tempers my ability to really enjoy it.
You gotta take the preseason for what its worth...what kind of young scrubs are we sitting on and can they do anything to prove that are not just a young scrub.

Outside of the "Dress Rehearsal" game that you get to see professionals play the most amateur half of football all year...the only part of the preseason that is even remotely interesting is piecing together how your depth chart is going to shake out.

Otherwise, wake me in September.

We all want to see Trubisky and all these new toys. But I get the move. 5 preseason games is bullshit. I'm glad we have a coach who isn't going to **** around with this.

Waiting for someone to suggest Trubisky looks so bad in practice they can't put him on national TV yet.

#Bears have made the playoffs each of the last three times they've played in the Hall of Fame Game: As a wildcard in 1977 and as a division champion in 1990 and 2005.

So it's basically in the bag. Thanks, Larry.

The CFL has 2 preseason games and 18 regular season games.... I would rather have that. Not only would it be more entertaining for fans, but the 2 extra regular season games would generate a heck of a lot more revenue and ticket sales.

I though the preseason was part of the season ticket package.

This is good practice for our new coaching staff, so I'm super happy we get this opportunity. I dont care if the starters see the field or not. I WANT the team to keep the offense under wraps so we can shove it up Clay Matthews' ass week one.

Idk why but my brane decided to remind me of that part in the movie Miracle where the U.S. team plays the Soviet team at MSG like a week before the Olympics and they got absolutely thrashed.

We have all this excitement, I wonder if we don't come out in pre-season and look like total dogshit and then surprise people in the regular season.
