Lots of offensive records will be broke with this group. The first one will be Caleb with passing yards and TDs this year.

Every player spends time watching tape on their own. It is a statement that gives you a chance to think, coaching never worked with him which we know is not true. What is shows is the dysfunction that was noticable when the *hit storm hit after the Washington game. I watched a bunch of game highlights from last year and we were competitive in a lot of games , while in the middle of the storm. We are underestimating what this team is capable of. My expections are much higher now with what Caleb is capable of with good coaching and a much better OL. Add DA and a more aggresive D and Caleb will be closer to 5000 yards than 4000. THIS IS NOT THE SAME OLD BEARS, we're just gun shy becauses of such a gloomy past.

I have seen this video but never clicked on it but I like when insight is provided in places I wouldnt look. It would be nice to see Bagent get playing time to see where he is at in development but that would mean Caleb is hurt and that wouldnt be good. I have been posting videos where you here maybe a little different outlook on things we talk about everyday. I can see Dexter showing up mainly because he is working hard to get where he needs to go. When Akiem Hicks came here he had runs in NO and NE and then he got here and was a force for a few years. If players work hard it pays dividends.

I think this all blows over if he is working hard and aligns with BJ. Last year was a train wreck for everyone on the team and a lot of players wont admit it but quit on the coach. Its a fresh start for everyone and I dont think any of the leaders on the team are going to question him. He had things stacked against him and his performance has some accountablity. The remedy to everything last year is winning and I expect that to happen.People focus on what, in their opinion, we might be missing. This does not have to be a perfect team to be successful. At worst we will get average play from who ever plays LT. We will find enough of a pass rush with people on the team. I think the depth is better that most people assume it is. LB,S,OL,DL

I'll take that.

With everything we have done, now Caleb has to perform. The season will go on how well he moves forward in his second year.

Totally, he mainly had a problem with Waldron of which he knew before at some QB camp. He's gone, poblem solved.

I get he liked O'Connell over Flus and Waldron. That just means he has a high football IQ. I heard interviews where he finally bought in when he came to Hallas Hall and seen the facuilities and spent time with Ian and Ryan. Then Poles when out and got him BJ and added to the offense. All Good

As much as I should be cautious on my expectations, Houston ,2 yrs ago, and Wash last year both were in our lane and came out smelling like a rose. I think we have better rosters than they did. It hasnt happened yet but out franchised QB has a higher ceiling than both of the other QBs. Remains to be seen.

Today everyone is saying 9-8 or 8-9. We are in the same lane we were last year when we upgraded the roster and drafted a franchise QB. After the OL failed, coaching failed and Caleb didnt live up to his billing, we're in the same place again? Even with the failures we could have won 9 or 10 games. This is not the same. Our franchise QB should take a giant leap forward, coaching is the best that was available last year. AND we upgraded the roster, again. Most fans have PDS, they are afraid to keep jumping on the Bears band wagon. I think 11 sounds right but if BJ, DA, and Caleb are what we think they are, easliy over 10 wins. last year we played Vikings close but lost. BJ beat the Vikings twice. The first game will not be easy but should be a win. Im a glass half full type but the glass is almost full, hard to screw that up.

What's the record going to be when we have the bye week? I say 3-1

You always quailfy (he's a good player but). Making statements like ( he hasnt proven himself) doesnt make sense. (Cant seperate) doesnt make sense. he played well enough to get a good contract. You make it sound like last year is his only window. . He had a very good year in 2023. It was not his fault he didnt get targets. He is not going to play the inline TE position is not a finite statement. Count the snaps this year. It wont even be 10%. You make it like if he plays one play there, I was totally wrong. Its a general statement.

40 TEs are in the league that can make those two catches (NOT)

So has the first game of the year info been released? I didnt see that.

I get it, that's your opinion and some people disagree with it. Very soon all projections will be answered.

He will have a few snaps there as you say to change things up but he is BJs new weapon and he will play where he can get the most out of him. Its just an opinion on projection . Just like you saying Cole could be traded midseason.

I like weeks 8 or 9 to help with any nagging injuries any players may have. We have a better understanding on who is playing where and how well players are connecting. 5 is way to early.

I admit i didnt word that right. You can see how players move, their ability to learn the information they are given. Delivering a dialogue between position coaches and players. Whether they have the atheleticism to do what are asked og them. How do you judge how a player can handle a bull rush w/o contact? Lots of people look good in underwear. I'll try to find the video where Olin Kreutz talked about what happens in OTAs.

Just seen an offical post that we are not playing on Christmas day. So I am going with the release tonight to get the real truth.

No one can judge OL or DL until the pads are on and they have contact.

In this picture, Loveland looks like a WR. Zak Frazier is big and Ozzy is huge. I can see where Kyle would be hard to tackle with such a low center of gravity.

NFL only cares about money. Although they dont schedule Sat games until college schedule is done. Any fan will just watch a replay after they go to local HS game.

Ryan Fowler just posted we are playing the vikings on Chirstmas day in Minny.
