Preseason results, like practice reps, aren’t tabulated on any ledger that equates to actual results in-season. But they are in their own ways very revealing and suggestive (which would be why teams film every snap and every rep in these so-called meaningless sessions).
And that is why interceptions in practice and missed tackles in the weeks and months leading to the season can’t be dismissed so easily, either as demo moments for starters or test-kitchens for depth charts.
Meaning: More than a couple of takeaways from the Bears’ two preseason games, irrespective of final score, should be cause for consideration, if not actual consternation.
