This Houston D is something to behold. I hope Dennis Allen and the Chicago D are taking notes. Edit: Chicago one of only two home teams from this playoff bracket to advance. NE being the other.

I hate it, but if they bid more than the cable networks, what can you do. It feels the market is forcing every one to streaming one way or another.

Caleb is the X-Factor. He can beat the perfect defense, which has to be demoralizing. You do everything right, instant pressure, hold coverage for 3 seconds, and bam, he escapes, extends the play, then throws frozen ropes 50 yards down field. The "Grate One"

This is really well said and interesting to see...it also is going to be interesting to see how NFL adjusts to him but also how he continues to adjust. I go back to - he's the type of guy who has all of the ability to win games...which is a very unique skill. Doesn't mean he is perfect, cause he still is far from it and has a lot of room to grow...but that is what makes it so exciting.

WE HAVE A LEGIT QB. OMG! We should be dangerous for a long time.

Hey, I hate the Puckers, but you know Papa bear George respected Vince when they were great. I believe he gave them inside info several times. And I really wonder what Virginia would have to say about our coach's video. I'm 72, hate the Puckers, but that just seems classless to me.

It’s not that he said it, it’s that he meant it. Now when we get a defense that can play with that attitude to pair up with this offense it’ll be glorious.

totally true, and hes gonna clean up that other stuff too and the he will be elite. I mean, its not THAT hard to learn the basics of playing QB. He already has the other stuff. hes much more comfortable in the pocket than he was 2 months ago - hes playing in rhythm more, just from his body language you can see the game is slowing down for him. To say he cant reach 65% Completion next year would be silly. And if he does, we're gonna be scoring 30+ points regularly and eating a lot of clock too.

And learning to do the regular stuff isnt so hard to do. Caleb has improved a LOT this year in a lot of technical ways. Last July it was learning the playbook, and footwork. This July it'll be reading defenses and finding the open guy. When he adds more consistency to his regular game, he's gonna be unstoppable. Im saying it now - Caleb is a top 5 QB next year.

You summed up what I’ve been thinking for a few weeks. Everyone wants the efficient 5yd passes, me too. Caleb is thinking I’m just gonna go get 15 or 20. The thing is that unlike our past QBs he can do it. He has the play caller for it too! Like a great home run hitter you simply don’t care if his first two swings were strikes, or incomplete, because the odds are still so high on the third attempt. At the end of the day the goal is to put points on the board not collect first downs.

Johnson is an overcompetitive maniac. You dont want to play golf with him, or poker, he might even be a difficult neighbor, but hes the guy you want if you want to win superbows! Eberflus is probably a wonderful neighbor, a cool guy to golf with, but i dont want him anywhere near out team unless hes on the other sideline.

They are epic meltdowns. I love the compilation one. That fanbase is so delusional after Favre/Rodgers. Love is good, but not Favre/Rodgers good. This was supposed to be the year, Love was 27, just like Favre and A-Aron. Kind of funny that Love has accomplished a single thing either of those other QBs have Favre - 1x SB, 3x AP1, 3x MVP, 5 PBs, before 29 Rodgers - 1x SB, 1x AP1, 1x AP2, 1x MVP, 3 PBs before 30 Both won a SB at age 27, Favre lost one at 28. Neither went back after those. Love at 27 has 3 playoff appearances, 1-3 overall, no AP, no MVP, no PB. For his career, he averages 202 yards per game passing. To me he is an efficient QB but is completely team dependent. You need a game-changer at QB unless you have a stacked roster. That is the difference between Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes. Love is closer to Hurts than Mahomes. Williams is about as close to Mahomes as you can have.

The narrative sure has changed.

He really is starting to break conventional wisdom. The way he plays it's become a trade off of efficiency for explosiveness, and it's working. To analogize it to the NBA, it's sort of akin to how modern day offenses would rather you take a higher volume of 3's and shoot it at a 35% clip than taking more 2's and making 45% of them. Caleb can get away with having a lower completion % because he's hitting the bigger plays downfield, and he makes throws nobody else can make outside of Patrick Mahomes. When you combine that with how well he takes care of the football, this is the result you get. That's why he was the consensus #1 pick for 2 years in a row at USC.

LeFluer is a very good Coach, I hope he leaves.

Ozzy saved us a necessary TO had he not walked off the field. How smart is that for a rookie.

We got the perfect storm, a coach that walks in and says Fu** the Packers in a post game locker room. GB fans are saying how disrespectful that is. I love this stuff. Glad we didn't jump on Harbaugh or Zabel, I wanted both of them at one time.

The post game handshake and the "F*&k the Packers" in the post game speech. I find it refreshing to be honest. Eberflus is sitting courtside with LaFleur for a basketball game while the Packers are talking shit about the Bears, then Eberflus gets stomped on the field and walks off with a smile. Johnson has put a stop to that crap. It is a mindset.

This is 2026

Caleb has broken analytics and stats in general. What he is doing doesn't compute, it is so funny. In the Wild Card round, here is where he ranked of all the QBs who have played so far: 1st in Passing Yards (361) 1st in Big Time Throws (6) 1st in 1st Downs (19) 1st in Sack Avoidance (95%) 2nd PFF Grade (77.3) 2nd EPA (+7.8) yet he had a QB Rating of 71.6 and a QBR of 36.9. Both of those would indicate a subpar game. The main culprit is his Comp%, which was at 50%. He had the 2nd longest TTT, but only took 1 sack. Herbert had the highest TTT and took 6 sacks. It really is bonkers. I think that is what people are having trouble grasping, because if you are just box score watching, he looks fairly average. There are 4 QBs in NFL history to throw for more than 350 Yards with a Comp% 55 or below: Kosar, Cunningham, Jackson, and Williams. Caleb is the only one to throw for 2 TDs, and the Bears were the only team to score more than 30 pts in that game.

Absolutely bonkers, and Caleb had 283 Passing Yards in the 2nd half as well.

I understand that it may not play a huge role, but it will be a factor to consider. There are a lot more examples of warm teams struggling in the cold than playing well. In that game you reference, it was playing the SF team that won back to back SB's, with Joe Montana at 32 and Jerry Rice at 26, so I don't know if any factor mattered against that team.

I hope for the best with Ozzy. One thing I learned this past weekend is Ozzy >> Will Campbell.
