I’d hate to lose DJ or Kmet. I wasn’t really a fan of drafting Burden. And I despised the Loveland. On the other hand, I’ve always complemented the Patriots for getting rid of players before significant skill deterioration or unnecessarily punitive cap hit. So, maybe the Bears are leaning towards multi-year success?

The fact that Purdy threw five TDs to McCaffrey, a hobbled Kittle, and three dudes I couldn’t pick out of a lineup is very worrisome. If the DL doesn’t get pressure, this could be a difficult game.

That’s why I want more passing.

Quick reaction: Caleb throws off his back foot, from irregular mechanics, and oddly far too often. But he’s a great talent and gets away with it. He also bails on the throw too quickly. He should either stay in and find a receiver or just run sometimes. What’s frustrating is that if he cleaned that up he’d have a chance to be amazing.

HOOLLLLEEEEE SHIIIIIIIT

OMG this game. A muffed snap?! This game is going to kill multiple people in Chicago tonight.

Amen

I’m sure my heart just lost a week of life just now.

LOL! Good one!

That illegal shift is MADDENING! What bullshit!!! I’ve heard NUMEROUS NFL OFFICIALS talk about this exact concept. Every time they mentioned it had to create an advantage gained for the offending team. This did not. Furthermore, the one second set rule is more guideline than a hard rule, even if it is in the rule book. No official watches the players stop, get still, then runs a “one thousand one” in his head. It’s waaay overly technical, and shouldn’t have been called.

That was BS. He was already going forward and leaning. You could even see that he changed how he was attacking; it was awkward. He just can’t bend the laws of physics.

And yet another BS roughing call. A player running full speed and leaning in can’t change direction like a UFO when a QB decides to slide late. The on ball official didn’t flag it but the trailing official did. 🙄

Can someone in Chicago get word to Caleb that his job is to stand in the pocket, deliver the strike, and take the hit? Apparently, there is a good chance of baiting a roughing penalty at the very least.

It’s time for the Bears to pass, and pass a lot. The packers are daring the Bears to throw. Enough cute BS. Put in heavy-jumbo, chip with TEs and RBs, and let Caleb have some time to work. He’s the #1 pick and it’s time the Bears start acting like he is. out everything on his back and let him know he has to carry the team.

Swift pissed me off on that play. He didn’t even try to plant a foot and drive. He stayed deep and just waited for the D.

This is exactly what I mentioned before the game last week. The Bears love to make journeymen look like all stars.

Why is Howie Long meat riding? He called the hit on Love dirty? That’s horseshit. It was 90% form tackle. Booker just needed to lift his head and see his target. Then it would have been 100%. It’s not like he can change physics when Love drops his head a foot or more lower just before impact. Side note: Thinking about buying a Booker jersey.

Not all stats tell the story intended, but this is interesting nonetheless.

I honestly don’t. I want them to be riddled by season-ending injuries. I want them to be completely barren. I want them to suffer. This goes all the way back to Charles Martin and the never-ending string of Bears’ QBs afterwards. I’ll never let it go. Especially when they get back to back HOF QBs over the stretch of 20 years, followed by what appears to be yet another franchise QB.

😂🤣😂🤣😂

I don’t want perfection. I want to see obvious progress in simple scenarios. He needs to hit the guaranteed passes that prolong drives and create scoring opportunities.

No. I’m comparing Lovie’s ending with Caleb’s beginning. It’s kind of apples and oranges, but it has the same purgatory feel.

No doubt the first half had more opportunities to criticize Caleb. He was terrible in the first half and it’s almost as if they didn’t trust him to throw the ball. But if the first half was terrible, and the second half has obvious issues that largely cost the team the game, that’s not a good starting point.

Many games of the last 20 years or so have felt like this. A journeyman or worse QB comes in with bad stats and/or receivers, and everyone expects the Bears to dominate. Then that average-to-below average dude starts carving up the Bears’ D. I’ll be honest fellas; this game concerns me way more than it should. It should be a win by 14 or more, but I think it’ll be close.

Kmet COULD have run a slightly different angle, but that INT is 100% on Caleb’s slow read and poor throw. Kmet was open way early and all Williams had to do was lead him.
