JJ with a much needed boost to his soul. Now just need good news on #6.

Period.

This is the definition of a trap game. Pure slop.

Devin Bush is having a heck of a night.

Had a feeling this was going to be a painful night after seeing the Packers destroy the Patriots. Caleb choking the game away with the worst performance I've ever seen from him. Embarrassing.

Not sure what BJ needs to do, maybe get run game on track next series. But Caleb needs to find the rhythm that left the building.

They're good, but we aren't blitzing. DA may dial up a few.

We're doing everything possible to give them this game. They had better stop sleepwalking. Where is the pass rush? Booker got a good hit. Otherwise, there's not much pressure. Is TB's O-Line that good?

WTF Caleb! What are you thinking? That isn't your M.O.

That personal foul call was really stupid. Refs still need to be taken to the wood shed.

Time to find out how good our run defense is. Let's get ready to ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering there are no other stars sitting on the bench.

Going to be physical - let’s win the turnover battle and play a penalty free game!!! I see Rousch having some big moments tonight!

Going to be a dogfight tonight - let’s go!!!

Yeah that was the top comment on the article I noticed. I think the author took some liberties considering he did make the Pro Bowl last year and there are no other “stars” currently on defense.

Nashon Wright is star?

This game offensively will come down to Caleb most likely. Baker was 0/3 against Atlanta whereas Caleb had (I think) over 300 yards passing when they played them. On the rushing side, the Bears got 98 yards rushing averaging 3.0 yards / carry with Swift and Roshon. The Bucs had 324 yards rushing averaging 5.8 yds / carry. To the Bears credit they did get into endzone more through rushing but no doubt this could be a rock em sock em robot game.

Depending on how this year goes, especially if they make the SB, let alone win it, I could see a fair number of players making team friendly contracts to keep the team intact. Sweat would easily fall into this category (IMHO) and I had heard some talk that Caleb might even approach his contract talks as Brady did. When he helped the team keep players around by negotiating a more team friendly deal.

Maybe nothing but ever since I set up this ‘nfl trade rumor tracker’ with Google I get updates when the Bears get mentioned in any potential trade deals, speculative or not. Could be some distracting talk or it could be somthing. Still an intriguing consideration. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bears-pitch-trade-jets-star-173507524.html

Sounds like a good move to me. Wed have 3 Titan defensive lineman that would be familiar with former Colts Dayo and Gallimore.

I read an article that offered a possible answer to how to strengthen our run defense: veteran defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, recently released by the Tennessee Titans after an off-the-field incident involving a handgun. It was a bizarre incident, totally out of character for the young man. Simmons knows him well, having lined up next to him for years. The Bears are said to be interested, and if Simmons vouches for him, I say go for it. Cheap add with no draft capital involved. Bears to Work Out Former Titans DT After Controversial Release

3 days until the deadline. With next year's draft picks already thin, I don't see them spending much unless it is for a guy with a couple years on contract. They will need to cut/fill some spots being 41.7 million over cap in 2027. Sweat will be an easy cap casualty or restructure with his PED violation and JJ with performance. I think they are done unless a player has a contract that works with the future.

Caleb is almost there and has the team there with him for executing. It is a thing of beauty to watch these last 3 games since he returned. Since this comeback, you don't see the Bears go 4 and out at the 2 yd. With the team executing, I think Ben is also. Ben is also punting or taking FGs more than earlier. I still feel like Caleb doesn't get hurt if the Bears took the FG and we could have beat the Vikings. But the flip side is would Caleb have grown like he has if he didn't watch from the sideline.

I don't know if it's so much calling the plays as it is getting his players to execute the plays properly. 4min mark...

That much talent and hype all through high school and into college. Then all that money at such a young age in college. It's an explosive combination and you don't know if it will be controlled or not. His parents get a lot of credit for guiding him through that time. Then enter Ben Johnson and for the first time I think he ran into a football mind who really knew more about the game than he did. Say what you want about good college coaches but that game is not nearly as hard as the NFL. Caleb surprised me and accepted the challenge. I really like what I see now on the field and I still don't think he's at his peak. There are throws he makes like the simple WR screen to Raymond for the 40yd gain against Seattle that good athletes like Trubisky and Fields could never make. Especially Fields with his slow release. Then what he's doing at the intermediate level of the field is just tearing apart defenses. There will be a 50pt game in the near future.
