no I knew you meant Nashon, and you were right too!

I think the change in scheme is really helping Swift - probably his best game as a Bear.

Oops…. Wrong Wright. I meant backup CB Nashon Wright. Im a fan of zone offense and that appears to be more in line Swift's style of running…and receiving after he just scored on a catch.

Daniels outplaying Caleb once again. Penix just beat Josh Allen. Nearing panic time with this QB. He's the only one who always looks nervous against these good teams. Everyone else is stoic af.

And now a blocked kick. freak this team, man.

Yeah, this just feels like what can go wrong tonight will for the Bears. 3rd and 1 and you needlessly rush the play before the end of the quarter for no reason and the bobble turns into negative yards, which forces you to settle for another FG. This has been a clinic on how not to win a game.

Terrible but what do you expect. The Bears will always get the short end

If the Bears lose this game by anything less than 10, they got screwed.

You've got to be freakin kidding me. ANOTHER phantom penalty that takes away a TD from Caleb. 14 point swing on two horrendous calls.

Offense can't go into the toilet this half. Time for Caleb to step up and flip that switch.

It looks like we shifted from a power scheme to more of an outside gap scheme, which lets Benedet and Wright get out on the edge, and Swift has been much more successful doing that. Cool.

They sure didnt want to throw the intentional grounding there.

Loveland OPI kills one drive. Both Odunze and Moore had DPI against them not called. Dude never turned his head and didn't allow Odunze back to the ball. That is called every time. On Moore, the DB is tackling Moore before the ball touches his hands, another easy call. Those all killed drives.

The officiating has been predictably one sided again against the Bears, but the offense is really shitting the bed tonight not capitalizing off of takeaways and great field position. The defense has done enough to give the team a chance. If they lose, it'll be on the offense. Caleb has been horrible all night, missing so many easy short throws. The run game has surprisingly been effective. They need to keep at it until it stops working.

The Bears lead the turnover battle 2-0, have more time of possession, more passing yards, more rushing yards, and are only up by 6 at half. This is how you know the officials are impacting the game.

and now a no-call on helmet to helmet on Caleb, wtf. How is that not called, you could hear it on the broadcast. Refs doing whatever they can to keep this game close. Has to be frustrating for the Bears.

Three very shitty calls against the defense so far.

Refs taking over the game, very frustrating. 8 pt swing in WAS favor so far. Should be 17-3, now WAS with the ball down by 6, just 13-7. Non-fans of WAS and CHI are even saying the fix is in for WAS lol.

Said it once and will say it again…Wright is a liability at corner. And I’m a fan of Swift. I suspect he’ll have a good game tonight.

Bears up 13-0, rushing game is looking solid. Benedet and Co look great. Defense already forced 2 more turnovers. 10 turnovers forced in last 10 quarters. One team is averaging 5.1 YPC from their RBs, the other is averaging 2.8 with a fumble lost. This is the perfect recipe for winning.

Santos is out too - Moody will be the kicker. Sounds like Booker is close but maybe just not enough practice time to be ready to go.

Just read that Booker and Homer will both miss the game. I'm really disappointed that it is taking so long for Booker to recover.

I don't he'll provide better individual play. What I do think is that he'll be a better help player. Both in helping and receiving help. Braxton made too many mentally lazy technique mistakes. In a nutshell, continuity is more important than talent...

I feel we still don't know what the 2025 Bears are capable of. We knew from the get-go that it would take time for the team to settle into D Allen's defensive system. Same for the offense with BJ's complex offense. However, none of us expected (or at least I didn't) that injuries would derail our growth for the start of the season. The loss of our two top CBs for the season was a huge blow. How much better will the defense be with Booker, Gordon, and Edwards back on the field? (& Garrett soon, fingers crossed.) Will Wright remain healthy? Will our new LT at least help improve the overall OL play? Will the changes we made over the break improve our running game? Will Caleb continue to progress going forward without too many stutter-steps? I'm hoping we learn some of these answers from the game tonight.

So true. I dunno how realistic it is with our defensive line this year, but yes this is one of the next important goals. First comes flashes - we've seen that. The rest of this year is to gain consistency - make first downs, win time of possession. Then, if we can get a proper pass rush and can stop the run up front, our window to compete opens. Soon we should be able to beat the bottom 20 teams consistently - then we have to learn what it takes to beat those really good teams. So yeah, I totally agree with you. That's whats in front of us.
