Any road game on a short week is always a tall task regardless of records. Makes the win that much better.

Wow. I've been wondering about that stat but didn't know where to find it.

Packers passed over Burden and took Golden in Rd 1 He said he’d remember the teams that passed on him. I hope he’s dialed in to the playbook this week.

This makes 9-3 even that much more amazing:

And Kmet , DJ, Zacch, and the RBs.

With Odunze out, more targets for Loveland and Burden.

Close, out with a foot injury, something that has been lingering for some time.

It seems to have been for 4-5 games. Goes back actually to when his hot start slowed down.

And broke his shoulder!

I kinda thought that, but maybe read it wrong.

Does anyone know how long he’s been playing with the stress fracture in his foot?

I agree Eagles was totally, I'm referring to our remaining games with that statement. Eagles had a better DC, talented DL, and playing at home after a loss. It doesn't get any harder than that.

I'll have to argue that Philly was our biggest test on the road. They were higher ranked, coming off a loss, rabid fans and the defending SB champs. Looking forward, we have GB and SF on the road. Both will be measuring stick games.

I've been watching a lot of Packers podcasts. OMG they are not getting it. One guy makes out they have more talented WRs with Rome being out. Golden hasn't did anything this year. They think Jayden Reid will be back which doesn't look likely. With Wyatt out ( good player) , they are claiming a waiver wire addition with have no problem with Dalman and Jackson. What drugs do they grow in Wisconsin that I'm unaware of? They're predicting high scoring games in the cold. It's going to be a similar game like the Eagles game. BJ is 5-1 against the Packers while OC in Detroit. I think he out coaches LeFuer as usual. Eagles were the least TO team in football until we got 2 TOs, now if falls on the Packers with that honor. The Packers have 2 inexperienced OL at C and RG and I see Jarrett and DAs stunts creating havoc with pressures.

Lions are capable of scoring a lot of points and that will keep them in every game. Dallas was a hot team and was beaten by Detroit. I wanted Detroit to lose but Dallas may have been a harder team to beat if we make the playoffs. I'm going to project a little here but what if we man handle GB the same we did Philly? This is our biggest test on the road. We could lose out ( doubtful) or win out ( possibly). For that to happen Caleb needs to improve some, defense get back to full strength, Edmunds back and our running game stays dominant. As other teams have more injuries, we are getting healthier. Rome is a short term injury so not worried about him . This could be a magically season if we finish 1 st in the NFC and at least make it to the SB. Not likely to happen but I'm a homey drinking dreamer.

We're getting healthier. 2 LBers will be back.

I think this could not have a big effect on the game. Rome is only catching 50% of his targets. I think Caleb looks for him sometimes when other people are open. Mentally I think it allows Caleb to focus on the progression. We have 3 Wrs capable of big plays plus, 2 TEs and 2 RBs give us plenty of targets. We also may see J Walker that was impressive in the preseason.

I don't think Rome has had a bad season at all. There have been a few bad drops, and some missed throws from Caleb, but he's 9th in the NFL in receptions over 20 yards and 15th in 1st down receptions. That's not a bad place to be for a 2nd year receiver in a new offense. There were a lot of growing pains with the offense in the first 4-5 weeks and there still are things to work out. His big play ability is something defenses must account for.

Odunze's absence should matter more than it does. He hasn't had a good year. Ironically, they may miss him more in the run game than pass game. Either way, not ideal. Moore and Burden have to step up. It's an injury that's probably not going to go away until the off-season. I suspect we won't see him until the rematch a couple weeks from now. Same with Stevenson. Edmunds comes off IR by then, too. That might be the game when they get all their horses back for the playoff run. Fingers crossed everyone can stay healthy until then.

Detroit should have lost that game last night. I despise both Dallas and Detroit. However, I think Dallas got hosed by the Refs (maybe the refs mistook them for Bears?) when they allowed Detroit to get away with two blatant DPIs with no calls. It would have totally changed the outcome of the game. NFL officiating has become a joke. If they want to "improve the game experience" for fans, it is obvious where they need to make significant improvements.

Branch is the joker in that defense and that's going to be a big loss in their secondary.

Injuries piling up around the league for teams the Bears still have to play. While Bears are finally getting healthier. Wyatt and Kraft gone for GB Maliek Collins, productive DT on IR for CLE Branch just lost for the season in DET, hurt last night. Probably a top 5 Safety in the NFL. Bosa and Warner aer both out for the year for SF. Not the same defense as in previous years.

Odunze still out with a nagging foot injury. https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/12/04/bears-injury-report-kyle-monangai-rome-odunze-nfl-ankle-foot-nfl

Mystery solved: video after this showed Odunze jumping a little too high during the celebration.

Here is the most entertaining preview of the game you will see. I'm watching Gurden but kept thinking that's Mongo previewing the game.
