Random news from the homeland. We are already ahead of Illinois to help with the new stadium...

I don't this guy's credentials, but he is damn good. Very impressive stuff...

Who caught the Minnesota Miracle?

Caleb is one of one, ever. I can say this because the 4th and 8 pass to the left was the first time I've ever seen a throw like that. (Not even Mahommes). While Caleb is inaccurate and doesn't see the open guy too much, he has that Reggie Miller (unconscious) mode. Thanks Stinger. It drives me nuts. Do I like other QBs better? Yes, but only three. Young QBs, only one. Would I trade him for that guy? He'll no. Caleb is a part of us now! He's like Tin Cup, as in he may give us the greatest thing we've ever seen, but to fall short. In this chapter of my life, I love it.

As Lucky ends it all...🤪🤌🏽🤌🏽

I'm too old for this shit. Wow!

Rome, Braxton, Kyler, Jahdae and Ozzy were full participants today. Burden is not even on the injury report. CJGJ dnp and will likely be out with concussion.

Same here. I bet a parlay every week and have won more than I should. Plus, I have a big money fantasy football league that I was fortunate to have won. We've done that league for for 27 years. Same guys. We're blessed to have lasted that long.

I bet games every week. If anyone looks at Monday and Tuesday they can see the Bears were -1 to -1.5 via Draft Kings and MGM. It's not worth the useless dialog...

The key search term is "opening line"

I believe the odds opened at -1 to -1.5 Bears. It depends on the book.

That's not how it works. Vegas changes because the betters are betting for the Packers.

I'm with you. On a side note: we were supposed to get an easier schedule, but ended playing the hardest on the NFL. Goes to show how quickly things can change.

all the time our offense was on the bench could have been scoring opportunities for us and not them. while 19 points sounds reasonable, and is, it's the riding time and the stupid play calls by their coach. add one freaky intto that also. The offense could have counted the Lions TOP with one of their own. Didn't happen. Defense did NOT lose the game. Team effort...

The bold above, I vehemently disagree with. Edmunds has never played at an all pro level. He just happened to be at the right place at the right time. He's never made a play that makes him look special. He may be the best five yard gain tackler I've ever seen. Everything else is spot on, IMO.

It didn't come down to average because we caused the most turnovers. Not defending the D, but they play a scheme that depends on turnovers. Our front seven doesn't match the scheme yet.

This team has an identity that needs to change. We haven't scored a first drive TD since the Bengals game. The team has bought into Caleb, to the point, they they think can turn it on and win at any time. Hey, that's great, but not sustainable. We don't want or need to live by the sword. A sense of controlled urgency needs to happen on every play. Otherwise, you die by the sword...

They say, "the best ability is availability". That being said, that does not apply to DJ. He has been generally non productive commensurate to his availability. He's either injured or clearly lost a step. With the emergence or Burden and Walker, I believe he is gone if someone wants him. Rome, Burden and Walker make a good threesome. I would even keep OZ and Duvernay if the price is right.

Something I've noticed, the last month, is that we have not run any exotic blitzes from our secondary. Also, not seeing twists and stunts, which can also help and hurt the run defense. I remember discussing the value of having CJGJ and Gordon on the field, at the same time, due to their potential versatility. That flamed out about the same time DA stopped implementing CJGJ in the pass rush. Am I onto something?

That's where I stand. At some point, you gotta trust the process.

The window is just opening. I'd rather it stay open for a decade.

Yessss!

One thing I've noticed is that they haven't used CJGJ in the blitz role lately. That may come up in the playoffs...

I did summer reading on Diggs. It seems from comments from Jerry Jones is that he's not practicing like he's healthy.

The only reason I care about 4000 yards, is so people can shut up about it. 4k yards is such an unimportant stat. If you look balanced offenses; passing, rushing, sustained drives and TOP matter. We do well and are improving on those. When we get better in the red zone the offense will be unstoppable.
