From the little bit of the last Minnesota game I saw, Dobbs gets rattled like Goff does if you pressure him. Difference between them is Dobbs is way more mobile. They may need to consider deploying a spy on him for Minny. Maybe Sanborn is up to the task? I was happy to see more blitzes last game than we’ve seen before. But yeah, like Stinger said, after what they did with Detroit and they have the team to near perfect health they can beat most teams right now. Just not themselves.

I’d be ok if they decided to leave Feeney in for the remainder of the season. Provided he gets more prep time.

Well at least until the very end of the game...but still, he's gonna be a great add for sure.

Someone else (in the social media world) asked a pretty good question too. That was when Patrick got hurt they brought in Feeney instead of Whitehair. I don't think he was on the list as 'questionable or out' as he was standing on the sidelines at one point with his gear on, ready to go. The first series (or two) with Feeney was a bit of a mess and honestly threw things out of rhythm for at least one series. Although I much more liked having Feeney in at Center it was clear he hadn't practiced much with Fields the previous week in preparation for what might (and did) happen. Seems to me the more logical choice would have been to go to Whitehair first but what do I know?

Looks like Jones had to sit out due to some concussion protocol. Medical observer saw something he didnt like His saying ‘he couldn’t see anything’ may have been a part of it. In other news, he showed some hustle here getting after the safety. https://x.com/imbearingdown/status/1726401579748585973?s=46&t=KrpJmhSTc4DI1sACtjisOQ

I think Scott is capable. He showed some pretty impressive catches when Bagent was playing. He slowed up on this play for some inexplicable reason. I’m sure he heard from Fields afterwards. I’d bet thatScott ends up getting Mooney’s spot on the roster next year. ??‍♂️

That…is play calling and Scott being a rookie.

Do I dare ask you and Chile who you want as QB instead? . ?

Exactly. I’m comfortable with saying Justin has shown he belongs. If you count that Denver game, Justin has done really well. I discount the Minny game due to him probably having a concussion before getting injured. M Hes thrown 786 yards for 9TDs and one INT with a 121.1 average in those three games.

And Edwards down with what looks like a stinger or … separated shoulder. ?

Love me some Roschon Johnson too.

Int #3!!!! Our team came to play today fellas!!!! I’m lovin it!!!!

Gibbs runs out of “$20 million CB” tackle in the open field. ?

If I had to guess it was probably related to his near tussle with Anzalone the play before. They were mixing it up after Anzalone pushed Justin down while he was going out of bounds. The “fuc#ing couldn’t see” comment was interesting as he was leaving the field .

And the ‘one two’ punch strikes!! TD Moore with a beaut of a pass by Justin!!! Yeehaw!!!

Braxton Jones has been in Anzalone’s sh*T all day today for when he thinks he’s been a little rough on Justin.

We may have found a keeper with this kid. He’s had some solid sticks today and isn’t the least bit afraid to stick his head in there (literally).

Yeah, I was a bit premature. They need some time to gel. That last sequence was all out of whack. Reminded me a little of Jason’s favorite former Bear J’Marcus Webb and Cutler having to yell at him and help him put on his shoe. ?

Maybe a little early but I like having Feeney in as Center. So far up the middle runs and protection there have been solid. *except when he causes delay of game . ?

Mahomes and Jackson have made a career out of playing like that.

Meh. The play calling out of the gate was solid and creative. Played towards Justin’s strengths. Detroit started blitzing more and Chicago continues to run up the middle. That’s on the scheme aka play-calling. During those same stretches of blitzes you could see Justin get the ball out quicker (ergo the “knuckle ball”) but he’s reacting instinctively knowing the pressure is coming. Goff’s style of ‘standing cool in the pocket’ is only good if you don’t get any pressure. We see what happens when pressure gets to him once or twice. Two INTs and another near miss.

This game reminds me of the old “black and blue” division games. At the risk of making excuses for Justin some of his passes are coming out duck-y, especially the longer ones. Still has the power to push them through though.

Justin Jones is having a solid game inside. On the play inside (just before the near pick six) he was able to shove the RB down despite being blocked away from the play. And had a nice stuff on Montgomery a few plays before that.

Now Detroit’s defense starting to turn up the aggression with some physicality.

I think Greene brought the pressure that time (from Goffs left). Chipping away. ???
