Defense better not ease up. NOS goes the length of the field for a quick score. It isn't over until it's over.

2nd bogus PI call against Loveland in 2 weeks. Kid can't get a break.

Not yet. Give it another 30 minutes. LOL

Caleb locked on WR being doubled while a man wide open over the middle. Wake Up Caleb!

Kmet is a gamer. A lot of teams would love to have him. Even in this last game, he made a catch and was immediately met by a WAS defender. He dragged the guy trying to tackle him another five yards to reach the first down marker. Of course, it was nullified by a bogus call. As I said in another thread, I'm anxious to see BJ incorporate the 12 personnel packages he is known to use. We have 2 K.A. TEs. Let's GO!

Since day one of his hire, all we've heard is how he uses two-tight-end sets more often than just about every team in the league. That was one of the justifications for drafting a TE so high. Does anyone have any idea what the figures are on the two-tight-end sets the Bears have run to date under BJ?

He's got to improve his accuracy. He is lucky to have so few interceptions. If he improves his accuracy, I see a brilliant future for him. If not, he'll never reach his full potential.

The Caleb Vs Daniels is a push and shove Daniels committed two turnovers, the last one probably cost them the game But he also completed 73% of his passes vs 59% for Caleb, thus the QBR difference It seemed to me Caleb became frustrated. You could see it in his sideline demeanor. Tonight, I think it got the better of him. He is capable of much more.

It never even came to mind until you mentioned two consecutive games won 25 to 24 What are the odds?

Chicago Bears 25 - Referees 24

Just read that Booker and Homer will both miss the game. I'm really disappointed that it is taking so long for Booker to recover.

I feel we still don't know what the 2025 Bears are capable of. We knew from the get-go that it would take time for the team to settle into D Allen's defensive system. Same for the offense with BJ's complex offense. However, none of us expected (or at least I didn't) that injuries would derail our growth for the start of the season. The loss of our two top CBs for the season was a huge blow. How much better will the defense be with Booker, Gordon, and Edwards back on the field? (& Garrett soon, fingers crossed.) Will Wright remain healthy? Will our new LT at least help improve the overall OL play? Will the changes we made over the break improve our running game? Will Caleb continue to progress going forward without too many stutter-steps? I'm hoping we learn some of these answers from the game tonight.

One of my favorite bands from way back in time. Brings back fond memories.

I will probably skip the half-time show. I don't speak Spanish. Bad Bunny can speak English, but has insisted that all of his music be in Spanish. I can't see him changing his commitment to his native language, and that's fine. However, I would not enjoy the show if I had no idea what the lyrics were. I wonder if they may have two performers? I believe they've done this before.

Thanks for the info. We need Booker to play like he did this preseason. I hope he is ready for action.

Has anyone heard if Booker will be back this week? I have seen no announcement that they have opened up the window for him to suit up and be evaluated for game reps. We need him big time for our pass rush.

I saw this in an article on SI.com. A bit concerning, but hopefully we can reverse many of the negative trends this year.

I had forgotten about Ekeler. I did find this note in an article on NFL.com stating their opinion on each team's need leading up to the trade deadline. If correct, it could be a big game for Caleb:

This could be tough to call. Bears have a week to rest and prepare. BUT: The Bears rank dead last for run defense. Washington ranks #2 in run offense (largely because of Daniels).

I firmly believe Braxton hasn't fully recovered from his injury last year. His performance this year has dropped off significantly. If this were the Braxton from the 2024 before the fracture, there wouldn't be all of this talk about his replacement this year, only who do we draft next year as an upgrade.

I recently came across this statistic (from the LVR game?) in an article on SI.com. Rumor has it that Theo gets the start at LT in week 6. Maybe Swift isn't the problem?

I've read several articles this morning that the Bears had noticed from film of the LVR games there was a key to how to get a jump on the ball being snapped. Here is a paragraph from a fantastic article on the NYTimes.com/Athletic site: The article is excellent, going into depth with the players about the blocked FG. I found it one of the best I've read to enjoy a 'feel good' moment: Bears magic trick: How Josh Blackwell’s blocked field goal saved the day in Vegas If you cannot access the article (some content on the site requires a subscription), there is another article on SI.com: Josh Blackwell's 'out of body experience' and Bears' good, bad and ugly

I have to believe there is an unsigned veteran RB who would, at this point in the season, sign for vet minimum to avoid having to flip burgers or change their baby's diapers. There also has to be some interesting options stashed on the practice squads. Poles and Cunningham need to address this quickly to allow the new RB a couple of weeks to practice with the team.

I'd like to see more of Monangai. He certainly looked better than Swift.
