Your talking about me and answer the question, how many SBs did he win in Dallas? How many SBs has Garrett won in Cleveland, Crosby with the Raiders. Absolutely it would be nice to have him and its sucks that GB got him but we arent going to forfeit the season because of this.

Braxton is not good enough. Excuses are excuses. Hopefully Trapilo is ready at some point soon to replace him.

I dont know whats gotten into some people on this board, but Micah Parsons is a stud. Us not getting him is bad, Packers getting him is bad. Im so sick of the rosy talk. Can we be real? We have a coach that is real, its time for us to be real too.

Not sure. I know if it's noisy, he usually turns his head to hear the QB and should've seen the back was not there. Then, he should've noticed a man was over the guard and the other guy was uncovered. Inside out theory. Bonehead play.

correct

It doesnt make them now the best team in the NFC, but they got better. How many SBs did Dallas go to while Parsons was there? Would everyone agree that Prescott is a better QB that Jorden Love? I dont like seeing this but it guarantees them nothing. It will totally screw up their cap going forward. How many players are now, when its their turn, going to want big money.

Madness

All the smoke and mirrors they use at the LOS pre-snap means defenders are out of position. We have the WR talent to exploit that. We need Caleb to figure it out quickly too. Fortunately Ben Johnson is no stranger to their tricks. Being at home where our players can hear each other helps a lot too.

Looking over some numbers between the MIN DEF and CHI DEF from last year. Surprisingly, CHI had a higher QBP% at 36.5% to 35.7%, only allowed one more TD (37 to 36), and CHI allowed fewer passing yards per game (218 to 242). MIN actually allowed the 5th most yards through the air in 2024, but they were stout against the run (2nd). This sort of plays into the Bears strengths as the WR/TE rooms are close to elite compared to the RB room.

Yeah, only Burrow and Hock are eligible as you have to draft the player and they need to be on your final roster, so McConkey would not be eligible. So it would be Burrow for a 7th and Hockenson for an 11th.

Adam, one of my keepers will be Joe Burrow of which I drafted in the 8th round but my 11th round pick was Jason Smith-Njigba but I must have dropped him and picked up Ladd McConkey. Does that mean I can keep McConkey or cant use either player? If I cant have McConkey in the 11th then I will take TJ Hockinson in the 13th. So Burrow and McConkey, if I cant have him then Hockenson in the 13th.

You probably know this, when Caleb calls a play, does he have to reference a line call as he see how the defense is set? If in a noisy environment could Jones miss some line calls? Everything seems fixable .

Yes, for now we're okay but it could go south quick with 2 coming off of injuries. Also I think DJ Moore gets some carries and they have Brittain Brown on the PS. Homer can come back in 4 weeks also.

I think Swift we be fine but it is a brutal position. RJ has been in the shop more than the field the last couple years, so he worries me. I hope the new guy takes the reins and gets him #2 duties while RJ becomes short yardage/goal line.

With only Brown brought back on the PS, the health of RJ and Monangai must be progressing well. I will also say they expect Swift to be the main dog in the run game.

Was hoping to see RB Ian Wheeler. Surprised to see a McFadden who we supposedly thought highly enough to advertise a trade and Stromberg. Have hopes on DE Xavier Carlton who seemed to fit the size profile and was in the backfield a lot in tapes I watched.

Braxton definitely missed that block. It's always inside out unless called otherwise. Can't have that.

You are so right, the scheme and OL personal is good enough to make Caleb successful. I think Chase and Tim Jenkins do good jobs at breaking down the QB play. I think Caleb just needs to make decisions a little quicker because the plays are there. Old habits are hard to break. Last year it was hard to find WRs that were actually open, this year he has several options on each play. In these plays, I notice Kmet open a lot.

well said.

I watched this game breakdown by Chase Daniels. First, apologies to Luke Newman who I said missed a block that caused an early pressure in the redzone. In fact it was a slide right protection call and our buddy Braxton slid left. How do you know Braxton messed up? Because his eyes and looking right the whole time and he's the one chasing his missed block. There are a few other misses, some on Caleb especially early. My main takeaway is that on every pass play Caleb had an answer, even the blown block above was a likely TD play if given 1 more second. After watching this I feel like Ben is setting us up for success and this offense is much closer to the promised land than I thought. There are still a lot of details to get ironed out and we're not consistent enough to recover from shooting ourselves in the foot. I can see something good headed our way later this season.

That makes sense.

So... we have a 53 man roster with no LS? Are we going to try to keep him there and just make him a game day active as long as possible? Bears do get notified if someone wants to poach him and can make the first move. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2025/08/27/bears-updated-53-man-roster-after-moves/85853033007/

Yes it was an existing condition of some sort.

Ok, so here's more "info" that just makes it more confusing. watching TTNL tonight, and came across this. First off, they know what it is and decided not to spill it because it's "personal" - if you hear them talk it doesn't sound like BS, I think they know, just like i think Courtney Cronin knows. They say it's "not the Bears fault" to a comment a listener said similar to mine above "there was an issue and the Bears didnt know?" the TTNL guys take every opportunity to take shots at the team when warranted, so if they say its not the bears fault, maybe it isnt. They also say its not Fraziers fault, so its not drug use or something like that. And more to the point they say "Thank God the Bears found it" as if it was something none of them knew about. So maybe the trainers detected some kind of medical issue. And they leaned on "personal" like it was testicular cancer or something. And "Thank God" fits that sort of level. So I have no idea, but watch about 5 minutes starting at 14:12
