OFFICAIL Hard Knocks IGT

[Moses Moreno]

Watching that clip of Saban advising Flus did more for my opinion of him than any new haircut or beard. Of course Nagy had Reid mentoring him and we all know how that worked out

Watching that clip it made clear to me that there's just a lacking in intelligence from Eberflus needed to be a good head coach.

He's a simple dude and when you put him next to one of the greatest minds in football history, it shows. This roster is fucking excellent and Eberflus really does understand defense at a high level but when it comes down to it - he's not the sharpest crayon and that's going to cost this franchise.

Was THE DROOLMAN in tonight's episode?

No

 

[DC]

Going to seem boring to us animals on CCS.

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

I learned nothing from it

Caleb can’t sing.

 

[DanielCCSBears]

Episode 1 Nick Saban Simone Biles and Canadian with an eagle for a penis.

 

[Hawkeye OG]

It was fine. The biggest storyline was the backup QB battle but I guess there’s not much going on at the moment

 

[nvanprooyen]

I wasn't blown away, but it's something to get us through the next few weeks of TC. Maybe it will get better.

 

[Doubledown]

Yeah, that was the first episode of Hard Knocks that I have ever seen. If it wasn't covering the Bears, I don't think I would be watching the next one. Maybe it picks up steam, after they figure out an unexpected story to tell? I imagine they have to cast a large net on the first one.

HK has mostly been about GM & HC decisions before the season ( cuts), we know most of the starters already, I just wish the Bears had an offensive minded HC

 

[HearshotKDS]

Just finished it, and my reaction is also "Meh". This was less interesting than the HOF game to me, which itself was about as interesting as counting how many times my 10 year old rat terrier retches before finally puking (retches 4 times before puking for those that are interested). Ive seen his family at the Starbucks in Lake Forest before so that wasn't new to me. I dunno, I kind of want more of the players mic'ed up and fuckin around at practice and less non-football.

I found the Giants preseason show a lot more interesting, I think it was 100% MORE relevant to football than episode 1 for the Bears.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I think it made Eberflus look bad.

So. Well the trailer featured the 85 bears heavily, but they were no were to be seen in this episode, which is a shame. Instead they spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME on Kmet throwing a bad pitch at a Cubs game. I'd rather have watched Hester highlites and you think they would have tugged our heart strings with Mingo, but instead we get a lot of Biles. They didn't focus in on anyone, but Floose, who seems to like to tell Caleb obvious things. At least they didn't show tweedle dee and tweedle dumb (Warren and George).
What was not shown... the beginning weeks of practice with Caleb suckin' and the D barking.
What was not said.... The practices shown were in pads, meaning there were weeks of practice before without pads, and Caleb is still not living up to the hype... remember that.
Also where's our Aussie?

I echo the Eberflus disappointment. I was hoping to get some new perspective on him and see another side that I haven’t seen. Sadly I did not. I have hated this hire from day one and nothing about this show changed that. Was like Saban was talking to a teenager, different levels to this and it showed.

Meatball side of me liked the Bulls/Clay/Caleb intro.

Loved the Canadien Eagle, hope to see Caleb get a redo on his song.

DJ Moore is my favorite current Bear.

I think it’s been an offseason of a lifetime for Bears fans, we even have Simone Biles.

 

[DefNextYear]

I didn’t realize how recent the content would be. I thought we’d be a couple more weeks back. I also didn’t realize we were practicing with pads on already.

 

[BornAnAngryBearsFan]

Saw the bum Nate Davis, twice. Once, with pads, and the other... being himself.

Eberflus is much more engaged with Caleb than I thought he would be.

Didn't he have a green purse in fluberbus' office?

It won't.

Generally it doesn't get better. Like a boring movie or book.

...that you have to read to the end, despite how terrible it is

 

[KittiesKorner]

the bears are no longer where qbs come to die; they are where shit o-lines since 2007 come to get them killed

New perspective on a one hour episode of training camp? Nothing they show will change your mind as its already made up
