Dennis Allen really simplified things against Pitt with just 4 blitzes all game. I expect more of the same against Philly although if Jaylon and Kyler are back it gives him more options in coverage/blitz packages.

No team controls its destiny more than the Bears do right now. Of all the teams in and around them in the NFC playoff picture, they have the most games against those teams (5), GB and DET have 3, SEA and SF have 2. The Bears just have to have the same record as DET or GB the rest of the way to make the playoffs, just beat one of those teams to the finish. If they have the same record as both of those teams the remainder of the season, they win the Division, and DET misses the playoffs.

Their advantage will be its a home game and will be desperate for a win because they lost to the Cowboys. I expect a close game and in the end lose, but we have been there so many times this year and won. Im open for being wrong (again). I seen this shirt on Facebook and love it but never buy anything off of Facebook (to much risk). Anyone seen this shirt in a legitimate place?

I agree with you guys. Initially, my gut said we get blown out. Then I began comparing the two teams. It's a shame we are having so much trouble with injuries. We are playing some fantastic football while short-handed. I saw this comparison on NFL.com. I know it's no guarantee we won't get blown out of the stadium, but damn, we compare favorably on paper.

Turns out the “Chirper” isn’t such a bad guy after all. This and his infamous run-in with Jalen Ramsey this last weekend (on behalf of Caleb) has proven he may be someone the Bears need to keep around.

Read where Devonte Smith and Barkley didnt practice today because of nagging injuries. Wouldnt that be nice if they didnt play. There is only tomorrow and Thanksgiving day before the game.

You bring up a good point. Our coaches should be able to scheme us into a better place to be successful against Philly. Their offense has has issues all year long and their defense is talented but have given up over 20 points 7 times this year. We have 23 sacks and Eagles only have 22. They are winning games but arent doing it pretty. I look at this game and say we should get our butt kicked then I think, we are 8-3 and first in our division. No one predicted that at this point in time even with us having a fairly easy schedule. We are finding ways to win even thou we are not very consistent. Yet we are 6th in offense and Eagles are 24th. We have scored 289 points and left many points on the field. Eagles have scored 255 points. There is many reasons that says we can compete in this game.

Something Orlovsky just broke down from the Eagles Cowboys game intrigues me. Flus deployed a five man front to stop the run and it was successful. It kept the Eagles OL from being able to run their trap blocking scheme. Why not have Billings, Jarrett, and Dexter working the middle. Of course, Philly will learn from this and expect some of it from the Bears and prepare accordingly. It may also help with our shortage at LB.

1-1 against teams with a winning record. Even if this one ends up knocking them back to 1-2 it’s not the end of the world. Being in Philly won’t be easy. As long as we see some sort of progress offensively amd don’t lose on a grand scale.

Not a perfect game. I see slow feet against some of the speed rushes but also some really good plays against power. Great game considering his first start.

McCarthy is putting up a historically bad season. Bottom 5 QBR Season since they started tracking it in 2006. He just passed Will Levis for 5th worst, next up Josh Rosen. 2025 JJ McCarthy - 24.8 2024 Will Levis - 25.2 2018 Josh Rosen - 24.1 2011 Blaine Gabbert - 22.2 2010 Jimmy Clausen - 13.8 2006 Andrew Walter - 23.0

The incompletions can be a result of: 1. Bad throw/accuracy/timing 2. Receiver bad route/timing 3. Receiver drops pass 4. Defense caused - QB is escaping pressure/great PBU 5. Throw away (forced incompletion) In some cases, I feel like they are trading incompletions for INTs and sacks right now, so I will take that. However, we want to start to see an uptick in Comp% over the remainder of the season.

I see prospects stepping up Theo, Ozzy to the point we no longer need to draft a LT in the 2026 draft. Both are getting better, it is irrelevant that they are not first round picks. High picks have a better track record of succeeding but many examples of lower round prospects getting the job done. The starting LT for the Eagles was a 7th round pick. As the season progresses we see players getting better so Kudos to Poles on getting this years draft right. Luke Newman will be the next OG or OC to come from this draft once one of our IOL 3 free agents are done playing. To be honest, I thought Jackson was going to be a bad signing but he is cooking now. I think sometimes we just need to be patient and see what the plan was work out before we complain about the results. Every year we should draft prospects for the OL but now we can use the high picks to go at other weak position groups going forward. It took Poles 4 yrs to get it right but (IMO) its starting to work.

Ozzy makes his first start at LT and earns a 75 PFF grade. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2025/11/24/bears-steelers-pff-grades-week-12/87449245007/

What the Bears 12 man personal did was take Tomlin out of his Defensive game plan. The game of chess forced the OLB/Edges to cover instead of attack. The Bears came a long ways to get their offense to click, but we are starting to see it come together. Once Caleb figures out his touch on ball velocity and improved accuracy, this offense will be hard to beat. Trapilo played a good game against some tough competition. It would be a huge relief if he takes the spot and locks its down for a decade. Newman played for Jonah when he went down and played good as well.

Caleb has some great traits to build on but just needs some time to get the accuracy down. In his college career it was an average of 66.4% . I think BJ can turn him into a star but its going to take more than 11 games to get that done.

I have a friend that spent 10,000 on Justin Fields collectable stuff based on he will one day be a top 5 QB. Boy did he guess wrong. It was after the year when he run for 1143 yards. Cant imagine what all that is worth now. He did have some nice stuff, my investment was a JF1 shirt.

Between his errant throws and our WR drops, how many yards and TDs were left on the table? My Guess? He could easily have another 6 TDs and 300 yards added to his totals this year.

Basically every game he hits another milestone that no one has ever done. Like to end the season with 7K Passing, 1K Rushing, 40 Passing TDs, with fewer than 15 INTs would be another milestone that only he has ever achieved in the first two seasons of a career.

Wow. Time to buy a jersey! For the record my Jersey collection: Sayers, Ditka, Urlacher, Butkus.

The Strength of Schedule thing is so skewed when you play more than one super bad team. RIght now the Titans, Jets, Raiders, Giants, and Saints have 2 or fewer wins. So if you played any of those teams a few times, your SoS is gone. NE has played the Titans, Jets, Raiders, and Saints, and the Bengals, Dolphins, Browns, and Falcons. That is 8 games against teams with 4 or fewer wins, and they are 7-1 in those games.

He told Ramsey, don't make me go Javon Wims on you boy.

LAR is for sure, they are humming. I am not sold on PHI, DET, or SF. PHI is 4-3 in their last 7, and lost to NYG and DAL in that stretch. See my post about Barkley, he has been off all year. For an 8-3 team, there is a lot of drama. DET is 3-3 in their last 6, and needed OT to beat NYG. They already have twice as many losses as last year. Goff playing in CHI in January should be fun in Week 18. SF is 4-4 in their last 8. People talk about the Bears wins. SF's last 3 wins have been against ARZ, NYG, and ATL. Their defense is not the same w/o Warner.

I think I like DJ G-Johnson a little more after sticking up for Caleb.

I was just joking around but I totally understand. I live locally so I get all Bear games and am a prime member but have to remember lots of people live everywhere else.
