Crosby has said many times he doesn't want to leave Raiders. I don't see any high paid players added.. They will count on draft and healthy players to improve our team. For better or worse we are riding our roster construction thru next year. Now if we are in true SB hunt, maybe at the trade deadline next year for a one player difference maker.

Has to be security, all famous people have them.

Okay, I'm reluctant to ask this question because I assume the answer will make me feel very stupid or senile. Despite showing my ignorance, I am compelled to ask. Every time I see Caleb walk onto the field after the game, there is always a heavy-set, bearded white guy who is accompanying him. This morning, they showed Caleb entering the stadium with the same guy attached to his hip, talking and laughing with him. Who the hell is this guy? A member of the coaching staff? A personal bodyguard? I'm confused. Please enlighten me. Be kind 😉

No Aaron Rodgers today.

I agree, its all about offense. Tomlin is a good coach so this wont be easy but as much as our defense has been bad, Steelers aren't bringing a juggernaut to the game either. This is a winnable game and our positive progression of finding ways to win will be tested but being home will give us the edge.

This game comes down to HC/OC Ben Johnson playing it simple. Run, run, throw. He has two good TEs and a RB that can fight and another that can exploit. Many FGs are what I see

Poles will add a pass rusher, like Max Crosby, next season if the Bears continue to squeak the Ws in. If we are drafting 20+, I'd trade our 1st and next year's and throw in a high contract player to help free up cap. We'd use that pick on one anyways and at 20, they need a lot of development.

We are a 7-3 team, call us a good bad team or a bad good team, it doesnt matter. The defense has not been good and the injuries have a lot to do with it. We are going to win because of offense and maybe a few TOs come in to play. People talk about the Steelers great pass rush but they have still given up a lot of points. The key to the game will be run baby run. A more consistent game by Caleb will go along way for us to win this game. This is going to be an end of the game win type of game. I will choose Caleb over whoever plays QB for them in the game. We have home field advantage that should contribute to less mistakes. Even if Rodgers starts the game, he will not finish it. One big hit and he's gone.

No Jaylon or Gordon. This is going to be an ugly game. If they can win without their starting LBs and CBs, that would be a miracle.

My fear is if there is manipulation by the league, and they want him to have his Swan Song, he comes in and magically gets a naked bootleg TD to win the game and to do the discount double check one last time. Now that would suck balls. I just want him to go away, but I understand the sentiment. The way the league has called games against the Bears, these games never feel fair.

Damn, Bears' media site shows Tremaine Edmunds on IR, but no announcement from the team. 4+ games missed would suck, he was having a great year.

I was curious about him. Turns out he looks to be familiar with Allen as he was drafted while Allen was HC in New Orleans. Unfortunately he was injured pretty much right off. But if he comes out this weekend and plays the hero, I may owe Allen an apology…

Not you. Someone else in playful (maybe hopeful) jest.

At least demoralize him like the Texans did with Josh Allen a few nights ago.

You are my spirit animal...😎. This was me to a buddy.

I don’t care how this sounds. i hope a Rodgers plays and the Bears injure him. Just like the Bears essentially retired Favre (Corey Wooten?), it would be poetic for Rodgers to get ended by the team he has traumatized and taunted so often.

If i said that it was in a trade back scenario, which I still think is a logical play for us.

Jackson knows the defense, that was an underrated signing for the Bears. All we need Jackson and Hyppolite to do is not make any major mistakes. Sewell was below average anyway imo so his loss is not as big.

Well that is unless you think the team will be drafting 32nd overall next year. 😉 I get what you're saying, and you’re right. I agree this isn’t anywhere close to a finished product. The real test now is whether Johnson can coach well enough—and instill enough of that winning mindset—to carry the team through each game week after week, regardless of the score. It reminds me of Dan Campbell’s early years in Detroit. Even though the team still looked and played like the “same old Lions,” you could sense them getting better because Campbell simply willed it into existence. The question is: does Johnson have that same kind of moxie? I guess we’ll see. So far, it’s been relatively “easy” by comparison. (IMHO)

Explains the signing of Reeves-Maybin earlier this week. Probably see more of DeMarco Jackson (who already has seen the field a few times this year) and Ruben Hyppolite who I'm personally excited to see play. I recall some of his college games. He's a solid player (at least while at Maryland).

Whoever the trainer is in Chicago needs to not have a job anymore. Completely unacceptable to have so many players missing time with soft tissue injuries. If Gordon and Johnson can't play, I have no idea what Dennis Allen can do to salvage the defense in this game. They won't have enough bodies to be in Dime, and playing Dime against a team that runs a lot of 2 and 3 TE sets is usually not a good strategy anyways... I think they might have to borrow a page out of Brian Flores' playbook and start run blitzing on early downs with their DB's to account for the lack of quality LB'ers. If the Bears are going to win this game, they might have to score 40+ again, like in CIN.

Edmunds, Edwards, and Sewell are all out for Sunday. Another entire position group gone. This is gonna be ugly. It is not like the D-Line can pick up the slack or the secondary can cover up the LB weaknesses. TEs and RBs are going to have a field day against Hyppolite and Practice Squad LB. Not good.

I was writing my reply and didn't see yours until I posted.

There are way too many variables to account for to evenly compare two different games, even though that's what we do. Weather, injuries, officials, home/away, rest. You almost have to treat each week as if both teams are 0-0. Any Given Sunday is real.
