BJ has always been an aggressive play caller. We saw him go for it on 4th down many times with Detroit. I'm not sure, but I believe he led the league in 4th-down go-for-it attempts during his time with Detroit. I like his aggressive style. That's why we hired him. Now, when he went for it deep in our own territory, I think that was a mistake he would like to take back. Given his success with us, I am not about to ask him to change his approach.

IT WAS INCREDIBLE! WOW!!! See why you locals do this. Talk about a rush. From the tailgates, crowds and even most of the Eagles fans I met, just an incredible energy. And to win on top of it all? Wow! I completely lost my voice. Should mention got pics of Joniak, Thayer, Aikman, Buck and SVP too. This isn’t something I’ll forget anytime soon! Thanks for recommendations guys and thanks Chicago for a spectacular week!

a few comments the good: keenum looked good. poised in the pocket, very quick release which made all the difference in the world. caleb NEEDS to see how this works. i have a feeling if caleb is in there he hangs onto the ball longer on probably one third of the plays and not for the better. the DE's look non existent for most of the game. seems like the d-line had an improvement in pushing the pocket back from the LOS. that helped a lot but far from perfect. some decent playcalling to match the type of QB by johnson for 'most' of the game. the BAD: ben johnson better get his head out of his ass and stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room. his bad playcalling decisions could have cost us the freaking game. you ALWAYS take the points when you get the opportunity early in the game ESPECIALLY when your defense is less than mediocre! it's stupid going for it on 4th down. add to this.... what in god's name is he thinking when it was 1st? and goal and the one inch line??? even a pee wee coach knows you do NOT line up in the shotgun in that situation for a running play. that call was criminally stupid every and any way you look at it. mindboggling. i do not EVER recall seeing a play set up like that ever. this type of stupidity costs games (it did last week). jj johnson is not a #1 CB. at best he is a good #2. his coverage is near pathetic and has been since he was injured. ROUSCH??? this guy that we HAD to have as yet another TE has been atrocious with multiple mistakes. this guy does not look like he should even be on the roster or PS at best.

Keenum was absolutely sensational tonight. I was totally wrong about my keys to the game. I thought the only way the Bears could win was by running the ball. Keenum was making some incredible plays against pressure all night. The floaters he had that were dropped perfectly into the receivers hands as he got it out just before taking the hit was elite quarterback stuff. If Caleb ever adds that to his game, he's going to win MVP. Can't say enough good things about that gutsy performance from Keenum. Hats off! The defense was not good in the 1st half, but did a complete turnaround in the 2nd half, pitching a shutout. Dennis Allen finally brought pressure and fooled Hurts a couple times in key situations. Reminded me of the Rams playoff game a little bit. Theineman might be a stud. He's made plays in every game so far. He's always around the ball, and seems to be the surest of tacklers I've seen in a while. I think we got a good one. Special teams continues to be a disaster this year. Sam Rousch is awful and continuously makes the dumbest mistakes. Tripped over his own feet on a wide open catch in the first series, then, for some reason, decided to fall on the punt that was already lying on the ground at the 1 yard line and couldn't keep his foot from touching the goal line. Pretty sure he missed another blocking assignment on special teams and was benched later in the game. He needs to sit more than he is, because he is costing them big time. Also, Cairo Santos with his 4th or 5th kick that fell short of the landing zone already this year. Completely unacceptable. Return coverage was also quite bad. Kevin Hightower has somehow evaded a firing for years, but it's becoming really difficult to ignore with each passing week how poorly his unit has been playing. Last thing I'll say is that Keenum needs to start next week. I'm pretty sure Ben Johnson already hinted that it's going to be Bagent, and I think that is the wrong decision. Bagent has made 4 starts in his NFL career and none of them were particularly good. He got sacked on the last play of the game against Minnesota and threw a few hospital balls that were lucky to have been completed in that game, too. Keenum has over 60 career starts and is coming off maybe the game of his life against a really good opponent. I don't understand what we're doing here? Bagent has earned nothing. There's nothing wrong riding the hot hand, and if Keenum struggles against the Jets, you can go back to Bagent against the Packers. If Bagent struggles against the Jets, and the Bears lose, now you just gave away a game you should have won and immediately find yourself in a position to go back to Keenum and ruin Bagent's confidence. Maybe he'll be good and I'll eat crow next week, but I just don't know why you would mess with a good thing now. These next two weeks are so important.

Sold the tickets when Caleb came out and opted for an evening tour on the river….baha…Alaskan hopefully you guys had a blast!!! Place sounded amazing from the tv so can only imagine how awesome it was in person!

How was the game?

Ditto on the thoughts about Thieneman. His speed shows up a lot. Plays that used to be 15 yards given up are now 7. You don’t always see it on TV but then he’s in on the tackle with the CB and LB. Grady Jarrett had a very good game. If they can get VDB up to speed alongside him we’ll have something good inside. TJ Edwards’s listening to their huddle then intercepting the ball was awesome. Overall far from a perfect game yet we won by 20pts with our 3rd string QB. My mind is not grasping what I just witnessed.

Pass rush and pressure rate looked way better and Dillon T looks like a dude. Every week he looks explosive and he’s got plenty to learn but I think we got a baller on the back end!

Huge win great game. Defense - hell yeah! Keenum - hell yeah! Coaching staff - excellent job!!! Loveland / Burden / Raymond - nice work. Fun game and I hope Caleb who is great sees and learns from what the old vet did. You apply that learning with what you got and there is a level of qb that the league has never seen!!!

Great Game. No one was expecting us to win. About time we got some respect. Bears did well to cut down on penalties. Made a big difference. For a game with a 3rd string QB as a starter, gotta love it!

Am i the only one that wonders how Wicks is even still on a roster? The guy has dropped everything thrown to him GB to Philly.

What are they doing? Philly is marching down the field. Wake up Defense!

You got it! Time for Sweat and Booker to show the world they are players

Need another score! Game far from over.

Kennum keeping it in the pocket and the offense moves like watching a poor man Peyton Manning, different than Caleb. I hope caleb watches and learns a little. He trusts his feet sometimes too much. Exciting as all heck, but you see what patience and experience brings.

Adam, we might need a new tracker. I said after the draft we can compare DE Keidric Faulk vs S Dillion Thieneman to see if we messed up not drafting the edge. 3 games in, I think the Bears chose correct. I haven't dug to deep into this. Gabe Jacas has played well 1.5 sacks, 6 tkl 5 assts, but the rest of the early edges are pretty meh so far.

Surprised they didn't use the tush push on 4th and one.

Now we need another turnover and a score.

That #31 is the sole of the D, if it wasn't for him we would be getting beat and loat worse against the Vikings. The vets need to step it up and make plays. The D is playing well but so many misses will catch up

and PHI was not set for 1-second on the TD, should've been a false start.

The Bears running game is concerning. It feels like PHI always has 2 more defenders where the Bears are running. When Barkley is running, it is the opposite. That needs to be fixed.

I can't believe they are winning at halftime with all the blunders. On the Hurts sneak, why was the defense not ready? Bush was just standing there, not even attempting to stop the sneak. With 1-2 more guys and Hurts doesn't get in. Bush has been terrible. On the Hurts sneak a few plays earlier, Edwards is clearly spying him, but doesn't even react to him escaping the pocket. Just lack of awareness all around.

Odunze has choked, Rousch choked, Ben Johnson choked. Keenum has been moving the ball against one of the top defense in his first start in like 3 years, so i am fine so far. Some are timing or understanding where to throw to.

Keenun has done great BUT he has choked on a 4th and goal and a 3rd and goal, two passes off target.

Ugh. Benedet getting shredded. Braxton paying Ok today. And Thuney? What a freakin stud. He saves that play picking up the blitz across two gaps.
