DABEARSDABOMB

Yeah - bummer. Hope he recovers quickly and ends up becoming a dude for the bears. I saw where BJ talked about how he played a big part in the run d improving.

I think Ben is putting some emphasis on players this week - in particular with the penalties. It’s a long season, I hope we see a 4-5 TD outburst and a Bears win on Sunday!!!

It’s interesting - Rome looks open from there.

I think I with this past draft it comes down to best use of draft capital and the Bears just didn’t do it - period. With that said - I expect Loveland and Luther are both going to be good football players - they just weren’t the right picks or right positional value with the Bears. I do think both are very good prospects though at their position. Trapillo was solid value and I haven’t seen any reason to think he couldn’t become a good RT, but like the guys above, not right use of draft capital relative to roster. Bears literally took a guy top 10 at position 2 years earlier. So unless they plan on flipping Wright, it’s bad roster construction. Shemar looks like the worse pick in terms of production - but in fairness injuries - but at least he was a pick on the dline, which was an area of need. Poles did do a good job on both oline trades and Dalman is fine, but good god did he piss down his leg on his defensive free agents, yet again. But it’s his sheer waste of relevant draft capital and inability to hit big in draft with roster construction that leads me to believe he is bad. I hope I’m proven wrong though.

Especially with two elite wide ups going against our preseason #5-7 dbs (JJ/Gordon/Stevenson/Smith out). Hopefully Stevenson somehow is back and healthy.

Red Zone efficiency is probably the entire difference between first few weeks and last few weeks in all honesty.

Caleb is part of the problem but there has also been plenty of good too. He has to be better and more confident throwing guys open and getting through his progresssions but he has had his positives too and has massively reduced his sack rate. The whole offense continues to false start (literally and figuratively). Too many mistakes between penalties, drops and poor execution too - in particular in red zone. Even mediocre red zone execution and we are having a different story. I expect to see real progress these next few weeks. Let’s see Bears dig deep and grow vs wilt!!!

I want to see Caleb take a big step forward next week and play his most complete game of his career!

Maye is a specimen.

Hope Moore is ok

Huge win - defense and Swift get a lot of credit. Moody hits 4 of 5. Lot to still work on too.

I think that is why they made the swift at LT

He took a step back after that TD got take away. I think he really wanted this one after last year and emotion got best of him - but conditions weren’t great and the Commanders dline is quite good. A win is a win - nice to see and kudos to defense and Swift!

And in a rainy game - that was an awful call that took away a TD for Caleb too.

Santos is out too - Moody will be the kicker. Sounds like Booker is close but maybe just not enough practice time to be ready to go.
