And honestly... I don't see the gap. Sure... the 9er's were missing players... but IDGAF. So were the Bears. No Mack, no Monty, both safeties go out early, and Borom had his first start. Plus the Bears coaching staff had Covid so the special teams coordinator was acting head coach for the game. (that may have been a positive?)
The Bears pass rush was getting a good push against the 9er's Oline (with Trent Williams in the line up), they just had no help on the back end. Jimmy G was making quick decisions with guys in his face and getting completions. (Plays that Lance will most definitely bail on instead of standing in there) Now the 9er's have 3 new players on the interior of their Oline and it has looked quite shaky in the preseason.
Justin Fields was beating up the 9er's defense with his legs and arm. (in a NAGY OFFENSE!!) The Bears offense had numerous lengthy drives and outside of being conservative in the redzone, were getting large chunks of yardage in the run game from Herbert. Imagine what Fields will look like when running a less predictive offense that builds on itself and actually flows well. (fyi, 9er's defense does struggle against mobile qb's)
I really don't see SF matching the intensity that the Bears will play with early on. (Because of HITS).
I feel like at halftime the 9er's will be in the locker room getting an ear full because they're getting rolled over by a bunch of "losers". They "may" come out in the 2nd half and turn it up to get the win.... but I feel like it will be an uphill struggle. The Bears might not be good this year, but I think it's quite possible they dole out a beatdown week 1.
Shanny will have to dig deep in the gimmick bag to pull out a win Sunday.
BEAR DOWN!!!
