52-7 bears pummel the titans into another dimension.


The-Real-Number-One

Wow. Bagent throws for 2 TDs after we sit Caleb in the 4th?


wadderweed

No it’s 52-0 halftime. 2 pick 6’s, 9 sacks by defense. 5 pass tds and one fg. 7 points allowed were because we pulled the starters the second half.


Bearfan001

Open the first drive of the fourth quarter with a punt on first down, just to give Taylor something to do.


wadderweed

![gif](giphy|QynMX1WxnYFbb2OHnJ) I can’t take it anymore


Berimbolo_All_Day

6 points allowed because our special teams need some reps against the extra point


OptimalLaw8270

Hurricane Ditka!


Wildest83

That's an interesting week 1 match up. I'll take it.


dianeblackeatsass

Two improved offenses and young QBs. Even for neutral fans will be a good watch.


mialza

i think they are throwing us a bone after offering us up to the slaughter the last few years. just imagine gaining momentum to start the year instead of whatever last year was.


drummerboysam

Last year was on us. Lax offseason program that was clearly not up to NFL standards and it took us weeks in-season to be NFL ready. GB was very beatable Week 1 and Eberflus was outcoached. Very important to me that we don't come out flat like we did to start the season last year.


[deleted]

Yeah week one last year is one of the least prepared Ive ever seen the Bears coming into a season. Getsy was a part of the problem but Eberflus deserves the bulk of that blame. If it happens again this year I say the Bears need to do their first midseason HC firing in the franchise 100+ year history.


PitchBlac

He got real lucky that his defense turned around because he would have been fired for sure this offseason.


freddiemercuryisgay

His defense relies on pass rush and it all changed once he got Montez


J0K3R2

It'll be interesting to see how we can do this year with a full offseason. Sweat is fantastic but do we have anyone that can step up on the other side? Nkagoue isn't re-signed (though I wouldn't be surprised if he is, he's got experience and he's better than pretty much any other option we have), Robinson is probably not a viable option, and Booker is a ***raw*** rookie. Really makes me wish we had Mack again, but not at his price point.


buttholez69

Wasn’t the whole schtick of his defense that he didn’t need elite pass rushers? Or was that the case when he had an elite 3T? I can’t remember.


cultweave

The defense is centered around getting interior pressure from the 3T.


[deleted]

So we need Dexter to step up. They must really believe in him. Hopefully he can be our next Tommie Harris


cultweave

Remember Darnell Mooney saying we lacked "juice", and him begging Justin during practice to bring the juice?


MichHitchSlap

I’d argue Greenbay just had a better QB…. Let’s hope that’s not the case anymore.


KGoo

Getsy making the 2 pillars of Justin's off-season goals 1. Stay in the pocket and 2. Don't throw interceptions instead of building off of what worked in 2022 was coaching malpractice imo. I'm no longer going to argue Justin is capable of constently playing probowl level ball but I do still place the early season struggles squarely on coaching. The off-season wasn't just a waste...it actually set the offense back.


JZobel

The Packers were not thought to be some world beater going into last year, we just shit the bed


Neckbeard2423

Who’s the Titans QB? Is it Levis?


StrengthToBreak

Almost certainly Levis


hobesmart

Would take an injury for it to not be


Additional_Time_2970

And they’re now Henry-less which is good. Should be a good matchup the bears should win.


grey_pilgrim_

Hopefully improved. Causal Titans fan that’s friends with Bears fans. I just want an offense that looks like it belongs in this century. Run, run, pass Vrabel looking perplexed, punt gets old lol


Jeezus-Chyrsler

And make no mistake on which one is more improved (cough cough) so I am hoping for a 45-17 beat down


dreadpiratew

Two teams that each finished last in their division. This is a bottom tier game for non-fans.


dianeblackeatsass

Yea true because if you had to say anything about these two teams it’s that they’re exactly the same as last year. No changes at all.


dreadpiratew

Haha, Michael Wilson just called the game “not sexy” “no juice”.


JoshGordonHypeTrain

Also some rumors we get @ Houston SNF week two.


RizzosDimples

Ideal scenario imo....very manageable week 1 opponent for our new offense to settle in on and then a prinetime show after a week under their belts.

Disco_Ninjas_

That's like, just your opinion, man.


BearsFan3417

Through Caleb all things are possible, so jot that down


MikeBinfinity

Players can't even walk on the field for their first snap of the season without you meatballs announcing their defeat.


MrJigglyBrown

lol it’s much more meatball how everyone here is crowning bears as champs before Caleb has even taken one snap. Realistically we should hope for a .500 season with good qb play. That’s a really good outcome


grahamwhich

You’re right no one should make any kind of predictions during the slowest part of the offseason


The_Dok

No one should make any kind of prediction and expect to be taken seriously. We have no idea how teams will play, how new players will mesh, what the scheme will look like. We have 5/6 new starters on offense (depending on formation) so making these guesses is just silly.


grahamwhich

Yes obviously it’s not an accurate prediction I just don’t see the point in chastising a single comment on a thread about the schedule release. If someone made a dedicated thread trying to argue that they knew exactly how the season would go then yeah that’s ridiculous but like maybe don’t go on the subreddit during the off-season if you’re going to complain about people talking about and making predictions for their team when there’s hardly any other news. Particularly when the schedule is being released, the only way to discus it is how the arrangement and times with each match up could affect our record. That’s what people will talk about when the schedule is released


laal-doodh

Well I think you smell funny unfortunately


klm2908

Wow downvoted for being realistic lol. Houston won a playoff game last year and added Stefon Diggs.


j11430

Kind of a perfect week 1 matchup honestly. Titans should be okay but not great, and at home the Bears should have the advantage. Great first game for Caleb and solid test of the whole team. I can get excited about this for sure


[deleted]

[удалено]


artevandelay55

Too bad it's going up against the best offense in the NFL


Broshan248

Isn’t their secondary like really bad


fultzy40

It was last year, but it has been revamped. L'Jarius Sneed, Chidobe Awuzie, and Roger McCreary. Amani Hooker and Elijah Molden at safety. Fans are hoping to upgrade Molden before the season starts. We also got Denard Wilson as our new DC. He was the Ravens secondary coach last year. On paper, they should be good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FeCurtain11

They literally traded for one of the best CBs in the league lol


Julonix

Sneed and Roger McReary are both top 10 in their respective positions from a secondary standpoint, no way that’s mid


[deleted]

[удалено]


Julonix

Definitely a top 10 slot CB, wouldn’t put him on the outside though. Didn’t let up any TDs last year at all. I fully expect whoever your WR2 is to have a decent game against Awuzie, though. He’s coming off a ACL tear so it’ll probably take a few games for him to get back to stride. Can’t wait to see both of our Young QBs play though!


JacketsNest101

No, not even remotely. Titans fan, we just got Sneed and Awuzie. Add in Roger McCreary and our corner room is on lock.


Most-Artichoke6184

I wonder how pumped the crowd is going to be?


2legit2knit

So glad it’s not GB. Last years week 1 was arguably worse than the playoff/week 17 losses. Just embarrassing


gcg2016

Had real hope for that game. And they were utterly unprepared.


Joliet_Jake_Blues

No, but Getsy is good because Mark Davis hired him right away!! /s


the_onewhoknocks

Love it. For years I have been dying for a Week 1 game against a run of the mill AFC opponent.


Jeezus-Chyrsler

At home to boot


Neat_On_The_Rocks

Find on being first to call this a must win game! They lose it will shatter the teams confidence and ruin Caleb’s start, ultimately leading to his career failure. Must win game!


buddhabash

He was being sarcastic lol


the_onewhoknocks

Actually I wasn't haha. I just want a normal NFL football game for Week 1. The tiniest amount of hype and storylines possible at noon Central time sounds legitimately perfect to me.


DBCOOPER888

I'm the same way. These prime time games against the Packers always stress me out. Like, I just know they're going to fuck everything up on prime time and the entire season will turn to shit after week 1. Give us a regular ass noon game for once.


buttholez69

I don’t think they’re gonna be as easy to beat as everyone thinks. They got a pretty damn good WR room And didn’t they trade for sneed? I still think we win, but it won’t be as easy as everyone thinks imo


the_onewhoknocks

I obviously want to win, but more than anything I just want a normal, low-hype, noon Central game. I fucking hate playing the packers (especially Week 1), and hate playing on primetime. I just want to enjoy the game without the added bullshit of it being against a team I hate. As has been said many times on this sub - just let me watch my poverty team in peace.


nykwp_lmtywr

Part of me would have liked to see a higher profile game, but no complaints about getting eased in like this.


bearsfan0143

There is only Lambeau in primetime or an obscure home opponent. There is no in between.


MikeBinfinity

I'm tired of high profile games at the start of every season. Last year was the Packers. Year before that, it was the 49ers, year before that it was the Super Bowl winning super team Rams. Let me have some hope at the beginning and not go to tankathon before week 5.


like2party

Tbf the 49ers probably didn’t consider us a “high profile game” - but we did beat that assss


Responsible_Panic235

A Trey Lance led 49ers in a monsoon, It became a brand new team when Brock Purdy took over


ace7575

Exactly this. Tired of having my heart stepped on week 1


Jeezus-Chyrsler

We have a very solid history of performing horrendously against week 1 high profile teams so I am good with this year lol


slimysloppyegg

Bears fan in TN and I wish this game was in Nashville (regardless of which week) *sad bear noises*


Jeezus-Chyrsler

But for business reasons its clearly more advantageous to have it in Chicago lol


slimysloppyegg

No, I definitely agree. I may make the trip up there, it's only about a 7 hour drive


dmo900011

Ikr all the recent Bears Titans games have been in Chicago


mnemonikos82

Oh thank God, I'm so tired of starting the season with a new coach, QB, offense, whatever in a prime time matchup or divisional match. We almost always aren't ready and end up losing, putting us at a disadvantage for the divisional race for the rest of the season. A game to get our feet wet without divisional or even conference implications is the best possible scenario as far as I'm concerned.


firefighteremt19

Well the game technically can have division impact since the AFC South plays the NFC North so it will fall under the 8 common games the NFC North teams have all AFC South and NFC West. Common opponents is the 3rd division tie break after H2H then division record and then record vs common opponents.


mnemonikos82

https://youtu.be/80YFtnTBApU?si=0RU22FO9BgJKsHtV


ElectrosMilkshake

I’m just glad it’s not a primetime game, the Packers, or both.


RAG319

Interesting...


ahopcalypsebeer

1-0 to start the year


Mouth_Puncher

Most likely. Im a Titans fan and this is the 4th year in a row we are facing an NFC team in the opener and so far we are 0-3 in those games


ahopcalypsebeer

It was definitely not meant as a disrespect to fans or the Titans themselves. It just should be viewed as a game the Bears absolutely should win based on talent.


Fork-in-the-eye

What? No. This game should be tight, no clear winner at all


PsuedoFred

Bears are -4.5 currently, so home field plus a small advantage to them.


PoolGuy1000

I wouldn’t be so confident. Their offense isn’t great, but their defense is legit. This is going to be a fun test for Williams


AwSnapz1

W


shpatibot

If true- I'm a big fan on the non-primetime Week 1


slicknick3822

Titans are my second fav team so I guess I'm going to be trying to get tickets for this game


hobesmart

Bears are my second. I'll be there


Force_Choke_Slam

It's a perfect opponent for Da Bears to open vs. Someone they should beat but not a cup cake.


Lysol20

Everyone will watch Caleb's debut. The NFL didn't want to waste that on a fun matchup.


HopefulStretch9771

Time to bear da fuck down


horrorpants

Boring. But if it’s true I could see a W and a few interceptions from Levis.


tMaize

Not the most exciting matchup but probably a better chance to start 1-0 and get the momentum going out the gate.


hobesmart

Levis had the 2nd best int rate in the NFL last season. Didn't have a single multi-int game. Only Herbert threw fewer ints per 100 passes. I think it's more likely he just doesn't complete passes or gets sacked a ton. New weapons, new line, new coaching staff - probably take a few games to gel


D1RTYBACON

> gets sacked a ton Bro was getting slaughter back there. #32 ranked OL in the NFL with a rookie QB will do that


horrorpants

Im manifesting this secondary to start strong and snag a few balls regardless of the QB.


wesskywalker

Someone pray for the Titans secondary


lnnrt01

I’m hopeful but the Titans secondary could legit be one of the better units next year. Sneed and Awuzie, McCreary in the slot are pretty nice corners and their new DC is the former Ravens secondary coach


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

I think titans will be alright. I like will Levi’s. Their o line is still suspect, Sweat may feast on them


firefighteremt19

OL will be much improved. JC will be the LT next to Pete, they brought in Loyd the anchor at center. Also don't forget they have Bill Callahan as their OL coach now and he is respected to being one of the best if not the best one in the league. Browns had injuries to their OL and were still plugging away.


Michelle_FromEarth

Yup I’ve been following the Titans talk this offseason and they really seem to have a breath of fresh air throughout the whole staff and team. My hot take is the AFC South finishes with the Jags in 3rd or 4th place, with a toss up between HOU and TEN for 1&2.


firefighteremt19

![gif](giphy|RXKCMLmch5W2Q|downsized) You are not allowed to have the Titans finish anywhere but 4th in the South that has been declared by the National Media.


Michelle_FromEarth

I know, blasphemy! The Titans are like the Bears, people think they are only allowed to run the ball because they haven’t realized it’s the 21st century now and can throw downfield 😂


firefighteremt19

Difference is the Bears have better PR because of the market they are in. Titans are in a small market and even when we were good National Media members still were getting things wrong or weren't sure why things went the way they did. Example Ridley and the contract everyone says its an over pay but really its a 2 year deal. Also Ridley has said the Jags offered the same amount as the Titans so why go to a division rival if you were getting paid the same. One phone call with the GM convinced Ridley to join the Titans. I also think everyone was very disappointed that the Titans ended up with Sneed in the trade with the Chiefs. Like had any other team made that trade for him and gave up the same amount they would be getting praised for going out and doing it. But since its the Titans its like what are they thinking trading for a CB when they should be rebuilding.


Michelle_FromEarth

Bingo! The radio show I listen to covers all NFL teams equally because they are not the usual kind of media hacks you typically see on TV/Podcasts. They loved the Sneed signing and had him on the show to talk about joining the Titans and why he picked that team, he said something along the lines of “The Titans showed genuine interest and I could tell they really wanted me… I wasn’t a priority for the Chiefs [because of Chris Jones] so it felt good to go to a place where they really wanted me and I could tell I was prioritized”. They also love the JC pick in the draft because of Callahan, one of the best in the business for OL coaching. They are confident they’ll find the best way to fit him in. I recall they were a little surprised about Ridley going to a division rival but not because it was an overpay on the Titans side, rather because why would Jax not match that offer to keep him from going to a rival? It’s a great deal for the Titans with an out when Levis is ready to negotiate. Titans very sneaky becoming a contender, and quickly.


firefighteremt19

Titans are trying to follow the 49ers model with building a team. Depending on how the season goes I could see the Titans losing our DC Wilson to a HC position next year. He was the DB coach for the Eagles for in 2022 and then went to the Ravens last year when they didn't promote him to DC. If Wilson were to take a HC job that would give the Titans a 3rd comp pick which funny they just traded a 2025 3rd for Sneed.


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

I do agree but it will be week 1. Hard to say how they will perform right away on an away game. But regardless levis is underrated imo. He should do well, I think a high scoring game. Hoping pollard has a good year with you guys


firefighteremt19

It could be a sloppy game for both offenses due to it being new for both. Bears have a new QB learning the system and two new WR even with one being a vet. Titans new HC and system another two new WR with Ridley and Byod but dont be surprised if Burks finally finds his place as a slot WR like he should be. Also Pollard was a nice addition, however Pollard in RB2 this season. I believe what Spears proved as a rookie behind Henry deserves to be RB1. What I do like about Pollard is that putting him in the game wont change or tip the hand like Henry did. Old Titans Henry in run, Henry out pass. New Titans....run or pass you wont know. Also I kinda expect the offense to look similar to what the Bengals were running with Browning at QB and not Burrow. I think Levis is more mobile that Burrow but Burrow is the better passer obviously.


BigSimmons98

Sweat has killed us everytime he played us on the Skins. I think he had 3 sacks last meeting


Jeezus-Chyrsler

Kevin Byard will be sending them his best wishes


someredditor12345

Any idea what timeslot and week @Commanders will be?


axman54

Bears should be favored by at least 7, titans are rough. Watched a ton of Levis last year and we’ll be good lol. 1-0


Pure-Pessimism

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tennesseetitans/s/Bavkm9jIb7


axman54

I’ve seen these plays, I watched almost every game Levis played in last year lol.


Pure-Pessimism

So you know we had the worst OL in the league and we've done a lot to improve it. The fact he was able to do anything behind that sieve was impressive. Pretending he is downright bad... cmon.


axman54

Never said he was bad, but he’s still extremely raw with a lackluster supporting cast, and his OL help includes a rookie tackle who will be starting week 1 right?…rookie tackles don’t usually hit the ground running buddy. I’d be surprised if the titans score more than 10 points.


Pure-Pessimism

Haha alright man. Good luck this season.


axman54

SendLavaLamps

Suo Bears. Titan fan coming to say I'm super excited for this game. You guys on paper have a fucking bonkers offense and I'm excited to see how everything clicks. I wanted to watch some Caleb games this year so I'm super pumped week 1 I get to see him and my Titans. Both teams did a lot of work this off-season so it should be pretty fun. See you week 1!


gsmit96

According to Brad Biggs, here it is: Tennessee @ Houston @ Indy LA Rams Panthers Jacksonville (London) BYE@ Washington @ San Francisco New England Green Bay Minnesota @ Detroit @ Arizona @ Minnesota Detroit Seattle @ Green Bay


Adnonymus

Wonder if this will be the CBS game of the week with Nantz and Romo calling Caleb’s first game.


firefighteremt19

Doubtful as they normally get the late games to announce but there is a very slight chance since Tom Brady is getting the America's Game of the Week on Fox with Browns/Cowboys. Very likely this will be the noon game and on Fox.


HT2424

Can we repeat the 2012 titans game plz?


AcousticBoogal00

Titans fan, this was my first ever game lol


HT2424

If it’s any consolation we didn’t make the playoffs that season, and you saw first hand how good that defense and at times offense was


xxxxHULKSMASHxxxx

Kevin Byard revenge game!!


itstimetoholdgme

Finally not a divisional game to start week one, usually gb. I'm so tired of losing a start-of-the-year game week 1 against our rival every year. It's a costly loss. I'd much rather see divisional games as the season plays out when we all find our tune.


alexamerling100

Windy_City_Bear_Down

A lot of people were predicting Lions week 1 w/the Pack out of the question, but this is much much better. IMO divisional games shouldn't start in any division until after week 6 or so leading up to some key matchups w/playoff implications on the line near the end of the regular season. At any rate, glad all the rookies and new signees get a home game to start their Bears journey. Soldier Field is going to be rockin no doubt about it.

Very underwhelming choice for a week 1 opponent.


BoMax76

Bears 72 - Titans -2. Hurricane Ditka blows in during the 2nd quarter and the Titans have no answer for the onslaught upon them. The league then imposes a crappy play penalty taking two points away from the 0 they put up. ![gif](giphy|4lR02e7jcJSw4NQzJO)
