Meh. You still have Keenum as an option too. Regardless, the play calling should have leaned into the run game ALOT more than it did. A week after both RBs got over 100 each and an inclement game to boot. Play calling was indeed suspect.

Agree on the potential injury. Big time disagree on the lost season. BJ is supposed to be the next best thing and I suspect he’ll adapt his offense accordingly. Shoulda been ALOT more running in this game. Last year after an 0-2 start, Johnson adapted to a lot more zone rushing to pull more outta Swift and Monangai. Then about 4-5 weeks into the season remembered they drafted Loveland in the first round and started using him. WAY too early to call it a lost season.

I suspected today’s game would be similar to how things went for GB last week against Minny. However I didn’t think the Bears would already have 53 yards in penalties (30 by Bradbury alone?) and -1 on the TO ratio. Thankfully the Bears have been a second half team even after last week against Carolina. Still, probably not going to see more than 30 pts from them…

In other news…😊

With a high snap on Wentz and through his hands as evidence. 😊👍

And JJ with really no effort on a near TD. Thankfully the rook was there to bail him out.

Indoor vs outdoor team here. And most everyone who started out injured on Monday had full participation on Friday, including Trapilo.

Was perusing Bears news and saw this story about Gordon and his “doctor”. Evidently “Doctor Mo” doesn’t really have any real medical background and allegedly has a checkered past. Jaylon Johnson sought him out some years ago (then missed several games himself) before referring him to Gordon. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/chicago-bears-injuries/123038/are-bears-kyler-gordon-and-jaylon-johnson-receiving-bad-medical-advice

One day I’ll make it to NYC. And DC and all of the NE coast for that matter. Lol.

All good to know. It’s been awhile since I’ve been in the city so it’ll be great to see if it all comes back. And no driving allowed says the wife. She insists that’s why they created uber.

I seem to recall the Museum of Science and Industry - had dinosaurs and sliced human anatomy displayed along the staircase? But what you're describing is even cooler sounding. Gotta add that to the list. Thank you.

At the risk of debating, the two rookie DBs (Muhammad and Thieneman) came out ready to play - I think a result of good coaching. Johnson and Stevenson's performances (or lack thereof) aren't really manifestations of bad coaching - that's just them. They both got burnt a bunch yesterday and in games past.

That goal line sneak that Caleb attempted was hilarious. He jumped straight up then right back down...no yardage, feet or inches gained. 😂

Question: was it me or did the oline seem to lose control of the defensive rush? Was watching Kmet in an interview where he insisted Caleb is a ‘pocket passer’ but is also a dual threat with his legs. I’d agree about the elusive part but I haven’t seen him do a lot of pocket work, especially not yesterday. I get there are some designed rollouts but a lot of the time Caleb is spending his time juking and spinning away from defensive pursuit. Is the line not doing its job, is Caleb too impatient or ???

My wife’s favorite player and I heard all about it. Lol.

Excellent idea. Been awhile since I’ve been in town but looking forward to seeing the museum, aquarium, Navy Pier etc. And even Sears Tower - or whatever it’s called these days.

Ha!!! Funny enough my wife (Steph) is cold no matter where she goes. Stood on a beach in 85 Hawaii…with a hoody and told us it was cool. I’ll have whiskey for me…just in case.

We are sound that. Steph found one that’s called the ‘architecture ’ tour. Friends of hers insisted.

As you probably heard I’m heading to Chicago in a few weeks for my first live game at Soldier Field. As a lifelong fan it’s crazy (to me) that I’ve never seen the beloved play in person, let alone at Soldier Field. Seen plenty of other teams over the years, just not Chicago. Wife thought we should go before they move on to wherever they end up next. To say I’m amped would be an understatement. We have a pretty full agenda for this trip but always appreciate any local perspectives if you guys have any. I fully intend to participate in the tailgate stuff so that’s on the list. Any other ideas? I’ll be sure and wave to to all when we’re at the game.

Back in my playing days, after a game of many penalties and mistakes, the first day back to practice would involve hundreds of ‘up down’ drills and bear crawls up hills and such. Occasionally the coach would participate. Something tells me Johnson would be that type of guy.

Haven’t seen much of that game but my Packer neighbors are texting things like ‘the refs suck’ and ‘well sh*t’ so I took that as a good omen.

Never been a fan of Allen’s. I’d be perfectly fine with them making Al Harris the DC.

BJs hope to average 38pts per game (or better) on track.

Raymond so far looks like a key pickup.

Rookie Muhammad has been playing well today. And now a pick. All is not lost in the defensive backfield.
