It would be great if we could reach a point where posts on this forum celebrating accomplishments far outnumber those pointing out failures or offering excuses for poor performance. If BJ can do that in his first year as Bears' HC, it would be amazing.

I might suggest he may never improve on his completion %. With vastly improved coaching, offensive line, and skill players, and after playing 25 games in the NFL, his completion percentage is lower this year than last. However, not all HOF quarterbacks had great accuracy. Brady was at 64.3% for his career, but then again, he is arguably the GOAT. The following list was from a Google AI search. I did some spot checks of the figures, and they seem accurate. Some rounding up or down, but very close or exactly as noted in online references for individual players.

I assume by your comment, you watched tonight's game? Pete Carroll is an idiot. Why in the h*ll did he allow G Smith to return to the field when he could hardly walk? STUPID!!!

If you want the best compensation (draft picks) for your top players, wait until the NFL trade deadline. Teams give up far too much for quality players, hoping it will give them a shot at the playoffs/Super Bowl. We have all agreed that the most successful teams build through the draft. Swapping a 6th for a 7th is just a handshake to make the deal official. We keep our top draft capital, which, with BJ's input, will hopefully result in a quality starter. Was a teammate of K Gordon—a cheap one-year rotational piece to help out our D and ST. Good Deal, IMHO.

To add to our injury issues, not that Dayo was contributing much, but he is lost for the remainder of the year. Bears on edge after loss of another key defender for the year

Agree. I was big on him until I watched a college game of his and noticed how small he was. I thought maybe I was wrong in my concerns when he didn't have major injury issues last year. Now, he is a frequent visitor to the injury report and has missed quite a few games.

This article from SI.com echoes many of our thoughts on our special teams performance. The Bears' special teams were less than special against Bengals in Week 9

Our special teams blocking on our returns is no better than our tackling when the opposition returns. I can't say I am impressed by either group.

Dart has had some good games. Our defense tends to make average QBs MVP candidates.

And allow B Brown to replace RJ.

After 118 yards and 2 TDs, I hope BJ & Caleb start trusting Loveland and increase his targets.

Talk about winning ugly That was about as ugly as it gets Special teams and pass defense suck

Wait 17 seconds before celebratig

Allow a KO return for a TD Missed FGs Couldn't cover an onside kick Geesh....

Forget that Go Fund

God knows since the Refs are going to decide in replay

I would assume we will not be trading for a RB.

We hold the WR, pass complete. We commit pass interference, pass complete. We can't even stop them by cheating.

what an appropriate way to end the first half. Sigh...

Moody was cut in week 3? by SF and became a FA. Tells you about his floor.

Our defense isn't tackling any better than our special teams.

It was noted when he was drafted and again this year in preseason that Caleb has problems with his cadence when calling plays. I'm reasonably sure that this is just one of the reasons for our ongoing issues with presnap penalties.

To put it simply, I honestly do not remember PHX calling you out by name. (That being said, if he responds to another person's post with an excessively long response, I do not always read the entire response.) He has made comments about those who disagree with him about Caleb's progress. Those who were supporting Fields. Those who would not listen to reason when he gave his point of view. But those people would include not just you but several other posters, including me. If he had called you out by name, I would have raised the same yellow flag. I didn't catch whether he did, and for the sake of peace and tranquility on the forum, so that we can have a friendly discussion about our Chicago Bears, I hope we can move on.

I will be curious if the Bears bring RB Brittain Brown up from the practice squad for the game against Cincinnati. The guy looked good in preseason and would be a good #2 behind KM. I've read reports speculating he will suit up. Fingers crossed.

i was also happy to see the NFL fined Baltimore 100K for playing games with Lamar Jackson's Injury status before our game.
