Pittsburgh is showing on offense how it’s done. Nice trick play call. The wife loves those.

Agree Caleb was still inbounds even though he let up.

Strength and conditioning coaching staff needs an overhaul.

Lol.

Think the refs helped there by prematurely stopping forward progression. As opposed to what may have happened earlier against Chicago.

Nashon Wright with a solid stop on a screen. And the extra news of losses of Hyppolite and Stevenson.

“Paper tigers” rearing their ugly head.

You could see it squirt out when he stopped forward progression. Then the defender had it laying on the ground.

I’ve noticed a trend of the offense begin to struggle after the “scripted plays” series. Seen this before.

I hope to heck this is not how we respond to strong teams. Now’s the time for Johnson to find that Dan Campbell moxie.

“Generational QB” fumbles the ball in the EZ for a Defense TD.

And penalties are beginning to mount . Can’t afford these.

Screen plays are killing the D.

I may have been wrong about Nashon Wright!

Im actually glad you asked because I didn’t know either. After some Googling and having AI help out evidently Pete Spizziri is his name. As you can see in the first pic others were curious as well. Originally social media said he had something to do with one of the social media accts for the Bears but his title appears to officially be “Director of Security”.

I was curious about him. Turns out he looks to be familiar with Allen as he was drafted while Allen was HC in New Orleans. Unfortunately he was injured pretty much right off. But if he comes out this weekend and plays the hero, I may owe Allen an apology…

Not you. Someone else in playful (maybe hopeful) jest.

At least demoralize him like the Texans did with Josh Allen a few nights ago.

Well that is unless you think the team will be drafting 32nd overall next year. 😉 I get what you're saying, and you’re right. I agree this isn’t anywhere close to a finished product. The real test now is whether Johnson can coach well enough—and instill enough of that winning mindset—to carry the team through each game week after week, regardless of the score. It reminds me of Dan Campbell’s early years in Detroit. Even though the team still looked and played like the “same old Lions,” you could sense them getting better because Campbell simply willed it into existence. The question is: does Johnson have that same kind of moxie? I guess we’ll see. So far, it’s been relatively “easy” by comparison. (IMHO)

Explains the signing of Reeves-Maybin earlier this week. Probably see more of DeMarco Jackson (who already has seen the field a few times this year) and Ruben Hyppolite who I'm personally excited to see play. I recall some of his college games. He's a solid player (at least while at Maryland).

I saw a recent post earlier today that was on an NFC trash-talking site I visit occasionally. Someone posted the W/L record of every NFL team against teams with winning records. For the Bears they showed "0%" . Considering I find myself easily tricked by social media and AI I decided to take a look (with ironically some help from AI). Of the teams they've played so far: Even though the Bears currently face the second-hardest schedule in the NFL, they still haven't beaten a team that’s above .500. Pittsburgh will be the first real test to show how “legit” this group is. As a lot of people have pointed out, they’ve managed to get this far despite a pile of injuries—especially on defense—so getting guys like Johnson and Gordon back will be huge. The big question is whether the team has actually made the offensive progress that many claim, or if they’ll fold once they start facing opponents who are truly gearing up for the playoffs. I ask that somewhat rhetorically, because last night Houston absolutely throttled Buffalo—Allen got sacked eight times. It just reinforces that this season feels wide open, and as the old saying goes, “Any Given Sunday.”

I second this.

LOL...I see what you did there. Unless...you mean to suggest they're trading their #1 pick?

Caleb’s birthday today .

Another hyphenated named player signed to the Bears PS. Is also currently the NFLPA President.
