Jaguars vs. Bears: Preseason Week 2 open thread

Here's your open discussion thread to talk about anything and everything dealing with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears preseason matchup.

By Ryan Day and Alfie Crow
Phil Sears-USA TODAY Sports

The Jacksonville Jaguars head to Chicago to take on the Bears on Thursday night in a nationally televised preseason game, the only game of the day.

It will be a good test for the Jaguars coming off a game against the Buccaneers where the Jags defensive line seemed to dominate not just with the starters, but even into the second and third team.

It'll also be a good chance to gauge the Jaguars offensive line, as the Bears defensive line as a whole is just as good, if not better, than the Bucs line the interior struggled with.

Live blog:

11:13 PM: Our starters beat their starters. Blake Bortles outperformed Chad Henne. Looks like a victory to me.

11:08 PM: PUT IN RICKY STANZI.

10:49 PM: :-(

10:49 PM: I wanted that touchdown, Blake. I needed that touchdown.

10:41 PM: Still an encouraging thought that our backups' backups could hold a goal line stand to third down.

10:26 PM: Y'all earned it, Jaguars.

10:17 PM: Oh no.

10:06PM: NINJA BORTLES, INDEED.

10:02 PM: Blake Bortles gets the Jaguars in the red zone again, but still hasn't gotten his first NFL touchdown. Sigh...

9:41 PM: FIRST HALF OBSERVATIONS:

9:29 PM: Bart Hubbuch has complimented the Jaguars. In related news, hell has, reportedly, frozen over.

9:27 PM: Josh Scobee gets the hat trick! Jaguars are up 16-7 on the Bears.

9:24 PM: "Blake Bortles, Blake Bortles, Blake Bortles, Blake Bortles..."

8:57 PM: It was bound to happen. It's a rare occurrence to keep Jay Cutler or Brandon Marshall out of the end zone, even in the preseason.

8:45 PM: No! No, no, no! Not Cameron Bradfield! You can't make me!

8:38 PM: Marqise Lee scores the first touchdown of his NFL career! Chad Henne threw a great six-yard pass. Jaguars up 13-0.

8:29 PM: Another field goal! The Jaguars extended a lead on the road! Exclamation points!

8:18 PM: Jacksonville's defense just forced a three-and-out on the Bears opening drive. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?

8:15 PM: Chad Henne is passing well! Josh Scobee kicked a 49-yard field goal! We got free Firehouse subs!

8:07 PM: Interesting. I wonder why it's not rookie Brandon Linder.

8:03 PM: But where's Prosinski?

7:24 PM: New York is starting to bleed teal. Legends NYC has been one of the most loyal to helping transplant Jaguars fans watch the team. Check them out here.

7:22 PM: Yeah, Allen Hurns is going to make the final 53-man roster. Excited. He can play any position on the field.

7:06 PM: If I've said it once I've said it a million times... best damn digital team in the league.

4:37 PM: GIVE ME ALL-BLACK UNIFORMS.

1:02 PM: IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!

11:42 AM: ESPN Monday Night? But isn't today... wait... wait... oh man, I need to lie down.

11:01 AM: While you're waiting for the game to start, read up on how rookie Blake Bortles has impressed NFL.com's Chris Wesseling through the first week of the preseason.

9:39 AM: There's no way Chad Henne will be the most-sacked quarterback this year. He's only going to play, at most, six games. Smh, NFL Network.

8:40 AM: Breaking down the Jaguars quarterbacks and four more things you need to watch during tonight's game.

8:30 AM: Bears fans already tailgating? In bathrobes and on top of buildings, no less.
