Caleb has 8 career INTs, 2 of them are literally throw aways that were caught, one this year. The last one by Crosby was a crazy tipped pass and catch. What is very promising is that of his nearly 700 career passing attempts, so few were INT worthy.

Caleb is the first QB in NFL history with over 4,400 Passing Yards, 500 Rushing Yards, 25 Passing TDs, and fewer than 10 INTs through their first 21 games to start a career. There is no one else. Year 2 QBs thru Week 4 (Career Numbers) Nix 4310 Pass Yds, 34 TD, 15 INT, 501 Rush Yds, 4 TD (Plays MNF) Williams 4468 Pass Yds, 28 TD, 8 INT, 599 Rush Yds, 1 TD Daniels 4001 Pass Yds, 28 TD, 9 INT, 976 Rush Yds, 6 TD Maye 3264 Pass Yds, 22 TD, 12 INT, 519 Rush Yds, 4 TD Penix 1693 Pass Yds, 6 TD, 6 INT, 42 Rush Yds, 2 TD McCarthy 301 Pass Yds, 2 TD, 3 INT, 50 Rush Yds, 1 TD

They were purposely chewing the clock down the entire last drive, every play took 40 seconds off the clock. Then they get 1st and goal at the 2 and use one play. LVR used a timeout there before the TD. If you think they should not have tried to burn some clock with 4 plays to score, then there is no way going for a 4th Down with more than a yard would ever make sense. The probability of scoring a TD with 2 yards to go with multiple plays is magnitudes higher than going for it on 4th Down with more than a yard to go when you only have one play. I know the Bears are not there yet, but in general, I think you need to burn the clock and force LVR to use another TO on at least one play after that first down. I get it that if you don't score you lose, but the exact thing played out on why you need to burn more clock/timeouts as they need a blocked FG to negate it.

The bye week is a good week to bring someone in if you are going to do it. There are several trade candidates and a few other guys still on the street.

Yeah, Williams faced a gauntlet last year as a rookie and gets another this year.

Theo definitely struggled. He seemed to be more comfortable when he moved to LT. Maybe with all the questions around Braxton that’s where he’s been practicing for the last 6 weeks?

This was an ugly win but remember how hard it is to win in the NFL on the road. Just look at GB, Chargers, Ravens. We are starting to turn losses we would have had in the past and winning those games. We have two weeks to get healthy and make some adjustments to be a better team. So far, I think BJ is showing this is different.

I’m really starting to lean his way. Seems like he might finally be the offensive-minded leader of men Chicago needs.

Yeah - the clearly like Wright a lot - can also see they were pushing/coaching him hard to elevate his consistency cause his best reps are elite. Wright is pretty athletic - trapillo looks like a potential good RT prospect. I really think Wright is their best LT - albeit having Theo come out and be a stud would be pretty awesome. I thought Theo got torched by Crosby in 1st half.

Ben Johnson seems to be very high on Darnell Wright. With Ozzy looking decent I could definitely see them ramping up LT reps for Theo.

I love Ben Johnson!

He had a few pretty big drops - then some decent plays take away by penalty. He was pressured like crazy by Crosby in first half - but I thought as game went on he did a real nice job moving the pocket and moving the chains. A number of throws where he reset the pocket and then hit a 3rd or 4th read. Crosby was a straight up wrecking ball - quite frankly Caleb throws for a lot more yards if not for the short field the D gave him - but the offense did nothing to tale advantage of the short field - the offense calls and execution just seemed off - too many 3rd and long from penalties and non existent rushing attack.

This - just think about first half where they twice had like 4th and 25 from like the 35. They had failed inside red zone a few times today with all the mistakes and or drops. Get the points and go from there! Also - 2nd straight week where Stevenson played great. Huge! Trapillo seemed to stabilize the offense when he came in. Really wonder if we see them try Wright on the left side at this point.

Don’t agree on this one. You don’t dick around when you can score a TD, because TDs aren’t guaranteed.

Concur. He has been very good. Which is why the first round TE didn’t make sense. Everyone can have an off game, especially with how schizophrenic the offense appeared to be today.

Did Caleb look like shit as his stats indicate, or was the OL terrible? I didn’t watch any of the game but I thought he’d put up big stats today.

Swift is a third down type of back, he's not a pounder. Better blocking would help.

. He hasnt started out great but with a Loveland injury, you dont get rid of a depth player. The last two yrs he had the best catch percentage with TEs in the league. Not the time to get rid of players that have a good history of play.

It would have been impossible to burn the clock out. You got to score. I’m actually think it worked out well as bears still would have had 38 seconds and 2 timeouts had the kick gone in - which to me would have been a much better place to be in then if the Bears gave the raiders 1 minute to go and no timeouts.

Given his usual consistent hands I’ll give him a pass - but the penalties were too much. I expect BJ will be tough on him during the break. But in general the dude pretty much catches everything that hits his hands during his career - something was just off today.

Wasn’t pretty - but a win is a win - especially on the road.

Can we trade for a RB before the next game? I'll take Devon Achane if MIA looks to blow things up in the near future. They have to do something at that position. This group isn't going to work.

Things worked out - nice to win an ugly one going into bye. Lots to clean up but also seeing lots of progress. Should also be quite a bit healthier following the bye week

Look at Drake Maye's schedule. God would I kill for Caleb to have that. Almost entirely full of bad teams/and or teams with awful defenses.
