I am getting 2013 vibes from this offense. Last year's offense was 9th in pts and 6th in yards. In 2013, they were 2nd in pts and 8th in yards. I think this offense will be the first one to be top 5 in both pts and yards. That would be a first for the team in the Super Bowl era. You have to go back to 1965 to find a Bears offense that finished top 5 in both yards and points. That makes it easier on the defense, because if they can play with a lead more often, that puts the other team in more predictable situations. The defense finished 23rd in pts and 29th in yards. I don't expect a huge jump but even if they finish top 20 in both, while the offense ascends, that is the formula for a perennial playoff team.

I am trying to narrow down the live draft window. The best window is Thursday night, September 3rd at 7pm Central through Sunday Night, September 6th at 9pm Central. I know we have GMs all over the world, so please let me know by August 8th, what time/date you prefer and if there is a time/date you cannot make it. Once I get that info, I will lock our draft in on the 9th of August to give GMs a few weeks to set their pre-draft rankings and lock in their keepers. Also, don't forget the league dues through LeagueSafe.

Defense bounced back on day 4 Coby Bryant is looking like the real deal and led the way. On his INT Jaylon said he was in coverage and when he looked up Coby was right there but he wasn’t expecting him because he wasn’t supposed to be there. Coby saw it and just reacted. Now a day off then the pads come on and the big boys can start playing too.

I am guessing something personal and he will be back once it is taken care of. If it was injury we would know, if he abandoned team he would get placed on a reserve, if he was granted personal time it would be kept personal and wed be left wondering.

As best as I can tell nobody knows

I may have missed it but been reading about how Monangai has missed a few days of camp. Anyone have deets?

Also might not shed tackles like before. A lot of hype to get excited about. I feel giddy about the way this offense is built. Questions about LT? They have layers of players to compete that have experience, traits and they will be fine. They will rotate them early, so what we see now is them getting a taste. This video even mentions how Kiran looked decent, so there is hope for him as well. Fantasy season, man I would love to have Caleb, Loveland, and Burden. Those 3 will dismantle the league and then you have Rome, Swift, Monangai, and Kmet. Can't take Zavion, Jahdae, or Raymond lightly either. The only thing that will hold them back is mental mistakes. With an offense with this potential, the defense can play a different game that can turn that unit around. They can take more risks attacking and DA is great at disguising his pressures to confuse the QB and oline.

The details you crave are covered in this video and it’s good

Just saw this - it's great. It's all the plays in the last minutes of 4th quarter comebacks last year, and it's only 16 minutes long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5nJS1wri2k

I would not be surprised if Loveland has over 1K Receiving Yards and 10 TDs.

Gotta love Ben Johnson. Caleb having his way in camp so what does Ben do to heat up the pressure? He puts Kiran in at LT with the ones. Just keep that in mind when someone is happy the D got a couple sacks today.

Day 3. Five studs from practice all on offense. Pads come on Monday excuses come off Tuesday https://bearswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2026/07/31/chicago-bears-training-camp-studs-caleb-williams/91126005007/

weve seen 2nd year offenses before that didnt perform like this. Even when we had Marshall, Jeffries and Benett, we didnt hear that the offense was out in front of the defense out of the gate in camp in year 2? Im with AZ54, this is different and notable.

With all the mistakes Poles has made building this roster, the offense has tremendous depth. WR-QB-TE-OL, the RB position may be the only one with a ? on O if a starter gets hurt. The D has questions but last year was a train wreck with injuries. We may have enough bodies to complement the O which has been the focus since Caleb got here.

This success is what happens when you go into year 2 of an offensive scheme. Barring injuries we have one of the best group of offensive weapons in the league. Players like Raymond and Thomas added to Rome and Burden are going to explode in this offense. Add our TE group and a scheme genius to the mix and bigtime offense.

I can consider it all but none of that changes the fact the offense did something I’ve never seen before this early in camp. It also wasn’t because they were doing all the easy stuff either. If you can pull off all the pre snap movement and timing, post snap timing on routes all while the defense is mixing up coverages then it’s a very good sign Defense needs contact for sure but then at that time the offense will be able to use the running game Right now the defense only has to play against one dimension which gives them a huge coverage advantage

A GM will never please everybody. Poles will have some huge financial decisions soon. Wright, Williams, Odunze and Burden are gonna be summer fat contracts...

Exactly, and nopads, no contact, so no pass rush either. It cracks me up reading X comments and everyone is bashing Poles about no defense. No praise for Caleb or the O. The Bears finally have a QB, HC, and offensive playmakers to be one of the best offensive team for years. Lets enjoy this leg of the rebuild. The defensive front will get a make over next season when it can free up a lot of cap and re-invest high picks.

You also have to consider that every projected starter on offense, with the exception of OC, was with us last year and is showing that continuity, whereas the defense has 2 new safeties and multiple FA signings and questions remaining about players returning from injuries.

Usually it is the defense that is way ahead and that goes for all nfl teams. It shows to me that their offseason workouts w Caleb is paying off. They know what to do and are in rhythm

Caleb Williams is exactly who we thought he was, and Ben Johnson isn't letting him off the hook! The guy is a future Hall of Famer, his dominance is starting to show, even now. EDIT: Maybe I should say his dominance has always shown, and now his consistency is catching up to it? GREAT time to be a Bears fan.

The offense destroyed the defense today. Just day 2 but we’ve never been able to say that. Caleb at 70% completions. I simply don’t care about any context regarding practice, early in camp, blah, blah, blah because we’ve never been able to say that on day 2.

yes!!

Good catch! It is one of many reasons I am all-in with Johnson as HC. He accepts that he also needs to be accountable for not only the team's success but also its failures. Accountability applies to coaches as well as players.
