Puka accounts for 28% of the target share but 34% of the Passing 1st Downs. He averages 107 yds per game and had 111 against CAR. The Bears can't play soft coverage against him. LAR is traveling on Saturday, getting into Chicago around dinner time, so they will be in town approximately 24 hours before kickoff. I know they are trying to not make the weather a big deal, but there is no way it won't be a factor. I am so much more relaxed for this game, the Bears are playing with the house's money. They can win this as easy as they can lose this one. Hopefully they play loose. The Rams are the ones expected to win, Super Bowl contenders, MVP, the pressure is on them, in a hostile environment, with bad weather.

If our OL plays well, we win the game. That means we run the ball well and Caleb had time to go down field where a weak Rams DBs live. 33-27

At this point, with all my goals reached for the season, entering into a playoff game in which we are strongly underdogs, I am putting the analytical part of my brain to the side in regards to these games now. We are underdogs and we are scrappers, and there only 3 games to win. Why not us? Right now, I'm just rooting as a fan. I dont care about the odds. I want to see Sweat and Booker come alive. I dont care about what anyone has done previously in the season - it's time to show up. BEAR freakin DOWN Lets go.

Couldn’t agree more.

The Bears win 24 to 18 Well, that was the score last year in week 4. (Just watched the replay on NFL Network). The weather wasn't an issue; our OL sucked, Flus was our HC, and we beat the Rams 24 to 18. This week, the weather will be an issue; our OL kicks ass, and BJ is our HC. I hope all of this bodes well. Gotta pull for SF to upset Seattle. If we beat the Rams, I want SF to play on our turf.

Maybe but Brisker should have put him down hard instead he hit him with his purse.

I had no idea this was a thing around the NFL. Brings back fond memories of Da Coach on roller skates. I wanted a leader of men and we’ve got one. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2026/01/16/bears-ben-johnson-painted-villain-matt-lafleur-sean-mcvay/88216707007/

Why was the game so close, officials missing a blatant block in the back on Jackson on Golden's TD. Harder to see from the TV view, but in this view, the official is in perfect position to see that penalty, it is literally between him and Golden, yet no call, easy TD. Also a hold on Johnson who doesn't sell it enough. Could've been called as well.

The Bears were only asking for help with roads. I dont know how the state cant accept those terms. Looks like Indiana is more than willing, they are also a smart state and you see manufacturing up and down the highways. Illinois is a graveyard compared.

I'm the meantime Arlington Heights has gone from overly demanding to begging... https://abc7chicago.com/post/arlington-heights-officials-make-push-keep-chicago-bears-illinois-teams-looks-build-stadium/18414036/?fbclid=IwdGRzaAPXX99jbGNrA9dfkWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHivqDP75iHNXJXZI11VcRjkHCwXSEplnQ2U49uV6A-T4bEu10vs09T6jIaGL_aem_pEzyNpjehP_xP9Jd9DZrtA

Random news from the homeland. We are already ahead of Illinois to help with the new stadium...

Never seen that as before but when I had season tickets they used to have a shuttle from the bus station just south of WoodField.

I just read this guy hired as the new OC for the Giants. Kidding but a smart guy.

I don't this guy's credentials, but he is damn good. Very impressive stuff...

Great perspective on the game, highly recommend.

wow, that guy is great. and he doesnt treat us like we dont know what quarters is, he doesnt draw it out, he quickly just makes the point - so quickly that you can remember it and comapre it to other similar situations. Thats a really cool way to look at all of this.

Has anyone ever done this before a game? Would love to hear about your experience. https://www.reggieslive.com/show/chicago-bears-tailgate-party-28/

Looking at the above video and reflecting back on the entire season: from the start Ben said he was putting it all on Caleb’s plate and it showed up in that playoff game. It’s amazing how much information Caleb has had to process. It’s also easy to see why he struggled so much early on in the season. Also why at times he just went into Caleb mode.

I’ve been watching film studies for a few years now. This is the best one. He focuses on the chess match and play calling back and forth between Ben Johnson and Jeff Hafley. You’ll see how Caleb is picking things up between series too which means he’s getting coached and listening. I’ve seen Caleb’s miraculous throw to Rome dozens of times now. Now I know if he just read it right that throw never happens. What’s more in the same scenario on the last drive he reads the same play and coverage correctly for a big gain. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo2qDBxWFUo&pp=ygUeRmlsbSB3YXRjaGVycyBwYWNrZXJzIHZzIGJlYXJz

With the WC Win, the Bears are locked into one of the picks 25-32 in the 2026 Draft, that will be the latest they have drafted in the 1st round since 2011 (Gabe Carimi - 29th pick) which obviously corresponds with the Conf Championship loss in 2010 to GB (Caleb Hanie game).

This is one of the best injury reports I can remember. If McCloud is the only one that can't go, that is actually a benefit to the Bears because he is absolutely torched on every play he is on the field. The worst 3 coverage players: McCloud, Sewell, Edwards would all be out.

I honestly don't think they will make any sweeping changes this offseason. The longer you can ride out contracts, the less chance at dead money near the end. Caleb is in Year 3 in 2026, 4 in 2027, and they will either go the 5th Year Option route or extend him after Year 4 which makes Year 5 payout more than it would've but lessens the cap hit for the remainder of the deal. Assuming they extend him early, 2027 seems to be the year that you would start cutting dudes to accelerate the dead money into 2027 protecting 2028 for Caleb's pay raise.

If it was 4th down, the game is over anyway. It is sort of a loop hole to save a down if you were going to spike the ball anyway. Just say there are 30 secs left, and it's 2nd down, you gain 7 yards. You can quickly go up and spike it, stop the clock, and give yourself another shot. Around 20 secs left, balled spiked on 3rd down, now 4th and 3 but the clock is stopped. OR player gets hurt on the 2nd down play, 10-second runoff, now only 3rd and 3 with 20 secs left. Utlimately this could be applied to any down or distance when you have a chance to spike the ball. If you watch that play sequence over, GB basically got a free timeout for 10 seconds without wasting a down for a spike, which they were going to do without the injury.

not sure if that would work. What if it was a 4th down pass? they would lose possession.
