I noticed this info posted in an article on NFL.com. Any good news is worth posting after what we've been through the first two weeks. 😉

Week 3 - Williams - 86.7 QBR - 298 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT, 0 sacks, and 12 rushing yds. 310 Total Yards. Won. / Season QBR: XXX Maye - 59.7 QBR - 268 yds. 2 TD, 1 INT, 5 sacks, and 45 rushing yds and 1 Fumble. 333 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 57.6 Nix - 38.6 QBR - 153 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT, 2 sacks, and 33 rushing yds. 186 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: XXX Penix - 12.6 QBR - 172 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 0 sacks, and 9 rushing yds. 181 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 48.0 Daniels - DNP / Season QBR: 39.5 McCarthy - DNP / Season QBR: 20.4 (Last in NFL) 3 straight games for Williams with improvement to Comp%, Y/A, TD, and QB Rating. ------- Week 1 > 2 > 3 Comp% - 60% > 63.3% > 67.9% Y/A - 6.0 > 6.9 > 10.6 Pass TD - 1 > 2 > 4 QB Rating - 86.6 > 91.9 > 142.6 Don't look now, Williams is on pace for 4,051 passing yards, 40 Passing TD, 6 INT. He would have 3,812 thru 16 games. So he even has a shot to break Kramer's team record of 3,838 in the same number of games, and also hit 4K in the same year. Very promising. Now we need to stack weeks like this. Over 20 games, the top 3 QBs in the 2024 class, TD/INT: Nix 34 TD, 15 INT Daniels 28 TD, 9 INT Williams 27 TD, 7 INT Nix only has 46 more passing yards than Williams, who are now 1-2 in Passing Yards.

First game I didn't wear a bears shirt. I think I need to stick to this. Next week is Vegas, so odds we have a huge chance to get back to 500. The players need to know this is the expected every week.

Don't look now, but Caleb Williams is tied for the league lead in passing touchdowns (7). Bears caught a much needed break with the Lamb injury, but the offense did exactly what they were supposed to do against a bad defense. Feels good to finally get this one off their backs—especially against Eberflus. Luther Burden looks like the real deal. Rome has to knock it off with the drops, though. Way too many, despite his 4 touchdowns.

Yeah Bears receivers still leaving some plays on the field. Even with those drops, there have only been 22 other times in NFL history where a QB threw 4 TDs with no INTs or Sacks, with a Y/A over 10.0 and under 30 attempts. Williams was the 23rd time.

That game is what it’s like when you watch the good teams. Dennis Allen gets a ton of credit for that defensive effort because early on it looked ugly but he adjusted. Caleb looked good but hasn’t even reached his ceiling yet.

That was an excellent game to help silence the critics, although I'm sure some will continue their "Bears Hate." I must add: As big a fan as I am of Rome, he has to stop dropping passes that hit him in the hands. and... I must say that I've never seen so many players slamming their helmets into the turf as I did today. (Grin) and... Jerry Jones looked really pissed. I swear I saw him almost say "F**k" before he noticed he was on camera. (Grin, Grin)

I think a big key may have been Johnson holding players accountable for all the mistakes the first two weeks. Much better on the penalties .

I can see him gone next year especially if Burden progresses.

0 sacks taken, 0 INTs, 4 TDs and a ton of explosive plays. This offense hasn't even scratched the surface yet.

Feels like a double win with the GB loss to CLE. Now they need to handle business in LVR and go into the bye at 2-2 feeling good.

No running game again. Swift 13-33 yds, but had one for 11, so he went 12-22 the rest of the way. Monangai was not much better at 6-16, but he did lose a bunch on one run.

Yes

Ok 3 INTs and 1 forced fumble for the defense. Not bad. The reverse Flus Revenge game worked lol. One of the best games in Williams career, very promising.

Game ball goes to Sewell for taking out Lamb early in the game.

A pleasant surprise today. Need to see how they close this out but 31-14 with DAL pinned back at their own 5 with 9 mins to go needing 3 scores. Offense looks much better but without any running game. Glad to see Burden getting involved, though Moore still looks like he is not having fun out there. Caleb having a great day, should be player of the week but we know how that goes.

Wright is a huge liability at corner. Surely they have someone better that could be backup to Johnson.

Sounds more like a hernia than a groin injury.

I noticed this on NFL.com this morning. It is the most positive news on JJ I have heard to date.

Dang, we have a soft tissue epidemic.

The thing with this team - with 3 of the teams top 4 corners out they are going to be in trouble. We have to hope Gordon is back and able to stay on field worse case following the bye week and ideally we have a positive surprise and JJ can get back midway into season (although sounds more likely he’s done for the year) and that somehow Stevenson or someone else on roster surprises us. This D is going to give up points - I also am hoping Turner and Booker will end up making a difference and that will carry over to helping guys like Swear and Dexter. Point being - it’s going to be hard to win a lot of games with a defensive backfield in shambles combined with a dline not generating pressure. Now on offense - I really hope we see them continue to trend up and start to really generate some huge offensive games and a lot of real good offensive games.

I think if the penalties go down significantly this weekend that will be a sign he’s able to not only call out players but hold them accountable. Small victories.

You said very effectively what I'm thinking. This is a process not a switch to flip. Do we have the right guy to lead that process? I think so because I see and hear the accountability, and the challenges to the players. I also think that schematically he knows what needs to be done on the field even if his players aren't yet able to execute that. The growth isn't everywhere on the roster for sure but the improvement I saw from Caleb and Rome between Wk 1 to Wk 2 makes me think it is starting to get better.

Is that Scott?

I had to take a break from all the negativity. I normally absorb all the Bears content I can but everywhere is blowing up. I felt bad after the game, I didnt want to keep robbing my positive nature by constantly tormenting myself. Im not saying, its not deserved but trying to find something positive to jump on and haven't found it. In saying all of that, I have hope we can put it together and punch out a win. I think Caleb and Rome have big games with the TEs actually getting involved this week. 34-29 Bears. Dallas's defense is as bad as ours, so we got a shot.
