With a high per capita cholesterol count that ain’t good! 😆

Great entertaining come from behind win. Aside from the Dallas game the Bears haven’t been dominant ALL GAME so far. Need a lot to clean up late in the season with some solid teams ahead on the calendar. Rest up guys, way to play all 60 minutes. Now get back to work and make us proud.

The Bears have become the cardiac kids of 2025 .

And a TD ala Fields style. Go figure.

Speaking of clutch…love me some Burden!

The CHIRPER with a clutch play of his own!!!

That catch by Loveland was simply incredible. Had to reach back to snag it. Finally a complete offense drive. Why wait so long?

Loveland has been clutch late in games recently.

My guess it was the view the official saw. They said in the game it was one of the DB refs calling it . Here’s what was show on the replay.

Think it was the hands on the shoulders of the lineman and as they twisted the lineman turned with it.

Uhm…Williams sees Odunze stalled out short of the EZ and throws it anyhow? 😕

Banks the best player this drive. 2x penalties resulting in at least 20+ yards. Lol.

Yes and earlier in the season when they were making all those TOs the offense did little with it. Hopeful that’ll change this drive.

Not a fan of Wright (the defender) but he’s come up with a fair share of TOs so far. Well if you ignore the dropped INT earlier in the game. Edit:. Oops my bad. The “chirper” with the TO last drive. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Olsen is slipping. He said this was “well beyond the 4th down marker”. (Sorry pics came out reverse order).

For me it’s about 50/50 dropped passes and play calling - post scripted pass attempts by the QB. Giants have been pretty solid in the middle where Monangai does better. Meanwhile Dennis Allen and his large grade colander defense allow Dart in unmolested.

Johnson making good in-game adjustments with more outside zone running. Swift being the beneficiary. So far Giants have been stiff in the middle.

Started out (scripted plays) looking good but as has been the case most of the year, sputter when in the RZ. Still looking decent between the 20s. so far it looks like the Giants are +1 on pass RZ competitions(?). Adam?

Dart reminds me of a rawer / younger Josh Allen. Interesting Daboll is currently linked to him.

Like Olsen said I think he’s right in that most teams will go for it when in that 45-45 yard zone and short yardage to go. Especially when most defenses are struggling like both the Giants and Bears are. Chicago looks balmy to me. It’s 19F / -9C where Im at. 🥶

Greg Olsen is probably one of the best if not the best color commentators currently. We should have never traded him. 🤣

I feel (hope) a big game by Sewell today. How will the hyphen twins do? Is the newest one playing?

Ah. Then I think this one comes down to coaching…and maybe homefield advantage. With the edge to Shannahan. If Johnson pulls off the win, he’d be raised a few more notches. And how about if Moody were to come back and kick for that game and the Bears win because of a last minute FG?

Ah. I misread what I saw about the Falcon game. I thought they were down by one in the fourth. When in fact (ironically) Penix was actually the one trying to make the comeback for Atl.

Simply put, Johnson is making me a believer… at least for now. What stood out was how he used the bye week to acknowledge the offense was struggling, then simplified things and leaned into the zone-run game. Since then, his in-game adjustments have kept the momentum rolling. And for most of the other things you said. Also agree the 'worst-worst' is special teams. As I started out going into the year I'll say again, not a fan of Allen. So far his scheming as of late has done nothing to make me think better of him. There have been some great individual performances (Byard, Edmunds and Edwards among them) but overall, the coaching hasn't been all that. Adding some key players could help him but if he's such a well regarded DC then he should be able to work with what he's got available to him.
