Just got to watch the game this afternoon. Because it wasn't televised live where I live and had to wait for the NFL Network replay...
Bear in mind (no pun intended), I did not watch the 2nd half. I can't be bothered with watching a field full of guys who likely won't make the final roster.
The good
The 1st team run defense looked stout, on both inside and outside runs. The only big (10+ yard) run I saw by Chicago's starters was called back due to a holding penalty.
Special teams looked great across the board: Kickoff and punt coverage, the blocked field goal, and the big return by Josh Huff.
Mark Sanchez looked sharp. I was excited about the signing and I don't expect him to disappoint.
Sproles still looks quick. I was very happy to see Momah line up wide with the starters.
Beau Allen looks like a solid pick up for a 7th round pick.
The bad & the ugly
The Chicago Bears 1st team defensive front manhandled Philadelphia's 1st team offensive line. Evan Mathis got his ass handed to him by Stephen Paea.
Very sloppy and poorly disciplined play by the starters:
- Facemask by Jeremy Maclin
- Two holds by Evan Mathis
- Penalty by Jason Peters
- Illegal contact by DeMeco Ryans
- Defensive holding on Brandon Boykin
1st team pass rush was minimal at best. And once Chicago's receivers got 10-15 yards downfield, the defensive backs looked overmatched.
DeMeco Ryans got beat on two separate Jay Cutler passes - including the opening touchdown throw to Zach Miller.
And of course, Nick Foles two interceptions (could have been three). Which were all thrown while under heavy pressure... because the offensive line simply did not look game day ready.
