BearFan PHX

yeah thats very good news.

Yeah he had a really bad game. But hes young, and his tape is great, so i think it's one of those give it a little time things. But you can bet the coaches are ALL over him this week, and rightfully so.

yes thank God. I hope he comes back soon, and strong.

I'll wait until I hear it for certain, but if I had to bet, I'd bet it's his Achilles. freak.

I knew that he couldnt practice with the team yet, but he could still work out with Bears trainers.

This is some high level foolishness on Kyler Gordon's part. You cant even figure he wants to be on another team, since we are primed to make a run AND they just paid him. If he's trying to BS everyone and just not play again and keep the money, then Ok thats despicable but it MIGHT make sense. But anything else points to Gordon being a real dummy. Like a moron of epic proportions. His only chance is to rejoin the team and play SO well that they decide they love him anyway. And Im not sure Ben Johnson can overlook something like this. For example DJ Moore was a much smaller problem, and much more productive on the field, and HE'S in Buffalo. So Kyler - leave this phony, come back to the team. Tell them youre stupid and this guy fooled you. Tell them youll never ignore their advice again. And then go dominate on the field. You might STILL not be a Bear for long, but at least then SOMEONE would take you. What a moron.

this sounds right!

exactly, and maybe this week or next week Trapilo will get some possessions too.

So I guess Swift was mic'd up for the Panthers game - this is a fun watch. Good to see how he is with his teammates and Caleb too. But the thing that impressed me maybe the most was his pass protection blocking. You can tell he is 100% selling himself out to get that block. The hard running is great, and the hands, but I believe this tenacious blocking really helped the Bears get to the place where they felt good extending him. And this was AFTER he got paid. Lets go! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq8ZeEfNuVo Kyler Gordon, you watching?

Agree. And while Braxton Jones did get walked back into the QB a few times from a bull rush, he was more effective in the run game than I had seen from him before. So, good for both of them Id say.

If you're driving to any of them, you can drive by Soldier Field too. They're all pretty near each other.

well i dunno if ANYTHING is cooler than the Museum of Science and Industry! The working coal mine you go down into - it's pretty freakin' cool. The dinosaurs are at the Field Museum of Natural History. LOTS of great Museums in Chicago. I gotta say I lived right in the middle of NYC for 35 years (I used to be BearFanNYC) and I went to the museums there too. Everyone says NYC Museums are the best, but I didnt think so at all. NYC likes to brag about itself. I'm from the Chicago burbs, so still say please and thank you and it just confuses the NYers. Anyway rambling to say, Chicago has some pretty damned good museums. Much better than NYC in my opinion.

it took Ben quite a feww weeks before he put Burden out there last year, so I figure Zavion will have to earn trust in practice, and learn the playbook etc, and become a contributor later in the season. Im intrigued like you are Bears4Ever_34, but Im guessing we will have to wait a few weeks?

if the Museum youre talking about is the Art Institute (what a GREAT museum!) dont miss the Thorne rooms in the basement. They are hand made miniature replicas of rooms throughout history. Theyre really cool. And of course the impressionists up the stone stairs!

Benedet was in there for three or four series too. I saw Jones get walked back into Caleb a few times. But the real problem came from the interior. Now granted, Carolina has one of the best DT tandems in the league, so it's not entirely surprising, Caleb was rushed and flushed a bunch of times. I was also impressed with how Caleb got through his reads and to the check down in rhythm a lot too. And lastly Darnell Wright is even better than ever this year, what a total beast.

Yes I agree, thats why I said it like that. He did start the league tho so I was just giving him his due.

great analysis, Ill watch for exactly that.

I think we will see more than a bit of Jordan Van Der Berg this weekend. He reminds me of Steve McMichael on some of these plays. https://x.com/HGrahamNFL/status/2094135603386253634

I really thought he was done here before last year began, but last year he definitely showed something on the field he hadnt before, and he deserves this extension.

for sure. I think Ben is great at motivating the team and keeping them from getting complacent. He a GREAT Xs and Os guy, but hes also a great leader. He may well eclipse Ditka as the second greatest Bears coach of all time, and that's only because Halas started the whole thing so he will always be #1, but if we had the chance to hire Ben Johnson or a young George Halas last year, Johnson is the correct answer!

Wait no Jayden Daniels is better. Wait no Drake Maye is better. Wait no Bo nix is better. Wait. No. Caleb Williams is an MVP type QB. Thank God he's ours.

Thats a good way to look at it and encouraging.

When Gordon changes teams, Rappaport will get the scoop. And from other players with the same management too.

I think Caleb is going to lead us to more than 1
