I took into consideration his year one under BJ as his first year - and comparing it to the others. If he progresses from this year to next - fantastic. Of course that applies to BJ as well. Last thing we need him to do is pull a Nagy on year two.

Wife and I were talking about it. One angle did show the defenders arm over Moore’s face which I would think that would have been called. The thing that makes me think they wouldn’t have is there were no flags thrown. Generally even if there is a score the flags are still thrown a higher percentage of the time. At the end of the day, thankfully we don’t have to worry about it.

Didn't you think that was a DPI?

Even if you ignore the heroics at the end. Watch the drive where we eventually snapped the ball over Monangais head - Caleb was spectacular on that drive. The whole game he played with poise and rhythm. Of course there are plays where he has to throw the ball away, where the defense wins. There is no QB that doesnt have that. But Caleb has superstar written all over him, and I think he got to a new level last night.

I wouldn't have called it.

Question. If DJ didn't catch the winning TD in the endzone, would the refs have called DPI against the Packer player draped over his back before the ball even arrived? My guess is that, given how the refs have disrespected the Bears pretty much all season, it would have been a no-call.

Still lead the league in Net Penalties -25, and Net Penalty Yards -318. Over the course of 15 games, they have lost a games worth of yardage to penalties compared to the other team. That is equal to a full game lost.

Not to poo poo on other young QBs, but the MIN v NYG game is ugly. Dart has 6 yards passing, an INT and 3 sacks in the 3rd Quarter. McCarthy is hurt again, and he left with 108 yards, 1 INT, and 1 fumble.

DAL was his best QBR game, this game was his 2nd best. CLE was a top 5 game.

Stroud got worse year 1 to year 2. Daniel’s did the same. Caleb is better year 1 to year 2 under pretty much every stat. TDS, yards per game, sack rate, comebacks, yards per attempt, qbr. Only spot somewhat flat is completion percentage but even than he’s throwing ball down field a ton. His interception rate remains elite as well - which quite frankly it was in year 1 as well. Oh and year 1 in new system and first time in his career working behind center with new footwork. I think year 3 will be even better and more growth than we saw from year 1 to 2.

Is that his best QBR in any game or did he top that in Browns game? I don’t know that I would have said it was his best or even top 2 game but he did have some pretty good balls given the conditions. Missed a few hot routes and there were 2 drops - one on a pretty deep pass. Also had the first down to Loveland take off the board on the Moore questionable penalty.

Lafleur called a real good game and made some nice adjustments the whole way. Packers DC did a nice job as well - bears weren’t ready for them to dial up the blitzes as much but finally adjusted late. But there were a few clear blitzes and hot route wasn’t executed right (not sure if it was qb or wide out or what)

Out of his hand I thought he literally was throwing it away and I was like oh crap and than camera angle pans down and it’s oh hell yeah…than it goes to replay and I’m like don’t show a bobble or a foot not getting down (live I thought it was a TD but I’d been wrong before)

It was a bad call on Moore…he was fine and it had no bearing on the play etc. I thought refs were pretty one sided yesterday (in fairness I thought Bears maybe had a slight benefit on calls in the first meeting). But there was a play or two where they should have been a pass interference on Packers (one was where Kmet got mugged early) and I thought the first roughing passer was borderline and still thought the Brisker one was somewhat borderline (but can’t argue it). The 2nd one Booker got gets called everytime…sucked the timing of the head going down. I also thought Packers got away with a couple holding calls on Jarrett.

Doesn't look like he's going to get 4,000 yards or 30 passing touchdowns this season, but 30+ total touchdowns is within the realm of possibility. I have to imagine that would be a record for this franchise.

and talk about high pressure TD passes: 4th Down, 4th Quarter to tie the game, passes to a UDFA rookie, then follows it up in OT with a bomb to Moore, both passes in windy weather.

For Caleb, there seems like there is an emphasis to look to pass over running, unless you absolutely have to. Like he is trading 4-5 yards on the ground for the potential for something in the pass game. Last year, he ran most of the time.

Watson did not get set on the first play of the game, but it wasn't called. In the 4th quarter, DJ is gassed running back to the line, basically does the same thing Watson did, but they called it on Moore. Also, no holding calls on GB, even with Willis running a few times.

Shady McCoy I think said it best regarding Willis vs. Love. First off...LeFleur is a really good play caller. When plays break down Love is unsure what to do. Willis might not be as good reading the field but if it's not there he just goes into scramble mode. You literally saw it play out when Love had to pull the ball down and then ran head first into Austin Booker. I've been alluding to that...cover the backend and then get pressure on Love and he's a different QB. We don't have the horses for that up front yet. Conversely...Get pressure on Caleb at your own risk.

Yeah, and DET plays on Christmas Day in Minnesota, in 4 days, and they don't play until this afternoon. So Bears could clinch a playoff spot on Christmas and the Division next Saturday (GB loss) before the Bears play on SNF in SF. Also, SEA plays in CAR next Sunday at noon in CAR. If CAR somehow wins (they beat LAR), the Bears could take over as the #1 Seed with a win on SNF against SF. How wild would that be?

Bears already 1 win more than I thought, but also still have a chance at 13-4 (without EVERYTHING going right).

0 sacks taken by Williams, impressive even with Parsons out. He is averaging 2 TD passes over the last 5 weeks playing against GB, CLE, GB, PHI, and PIT. That is a tough gauntlet to go thru, 4-1 in those games, losing only to GB on the last play.

Week 16 1. Williams - 81.0 QBR - 250 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT, 0 Sacks, 30 Rush Yds. 280 Total Yards. Won. Season QBR: 56.3, 3,400 yards, 23-6 TD-INT, 23 Sacks, 3 Rush TD, 1 Rec TD. (15g) 2. Nix - XXX QBR - XXX Season QBR: 59.1, 3,256 yards, 23-9 TD-INT, 16 Sacks, 4 Rush TD. (14g) 3. Maye - XXX QBR - XXX Season QBR: 71.4, 3,567 yards, 23-7 TD-INT, 43 Sacks, 4 Rush TD. (14g) 9. McCarthy - XXX QBR - XXX Season QBR: 34.3, 1,342 yards, 11-11 TD-INT, 24 Sacks, 3 Rush TD. (8g)

Can't hurt right?

Is it a coincidence?
