I agree! I keep telling myself it’s a good thing because I actually have expectations this year.

Bears win 27-17

This is a costly move. It may pan out but isn’t the D tackle they gave up their best one? Cap nightmare and an injury prone player…. I hope this blows up and wrecks them for years to come.

I know it’s a meaningless preseason game but I just think the team is one I expect to win compared to when Flus was here. I expected him to mess up, I expect BJ to make the right decisions to get the W. Haven’t felt this way in a long time. The guys were prepared for that last drive. Nice to see.

I like the kid. Glad he's a Bear for a few more years!

Well put. Thanks.

I had a moron friend over last night who said "What was that!" when he grounded that ball. And my comment was, that was maturity and good coaching. He did exactly what he should've done in that situation. Given how well Bagent has played, is Case Keenum going to make the team? Also, I need to know from the cap gurus here, how much goes back into the coffers when and if they cut him? I understand he'd there to be a mentor but I want the two best QB's on the active roster every Sunday and the third on as the emergency guy. I'm not sure Case is the second best QB on this team and I'm also not sure if he'll want to be inactive.

I was concerned that Caleb not playing in week one was a sign that he was behind schedule. I saw no evidence of that yesterday. The D was solid but special teams wasn’t. All three phases need to be there to maximize wins.

Welp, I’m jacked!

I want to be realistic, but I’m still optimistic that there’s a lot of W’s on this schedule. I see a potentially slow start, but once things start to gel, the team will sneak up on some people and ultimately prove out what we all hope we’ve seen in the off-season. I think this is a playoff team.

They have the Bears at 21 so still bottom third. I hope we surprise a lot of people this year.

Nothing final. Between him and Chubb who would you prefer? I doubt either will break the bank. Not sure we need either but depth at the position will keep everyone fresher throughout the season.
