DABEARSDABOMB

Until bears show otherwise, they are still the third best team in the division. I need to see them beat our better divisional foes and I personally think right now Packers are better than Eagles. This will be a very good test. Bears are absolutely trending in right direction - but the haven’t yet earned anything in the division other than beating a very bad Minny team 1 out of 2. Let’s see what they can do. Let’s go Bears!!!

He really has seen his production drop since the injury. I’m hoping maybe a bit of rest can help get it situated but sounds like it really requires offseason to heal.

I’m looking for a breakout Burden game with Rome out.

It seems to have been for 4-5 games. Goes back actually to when his hot start slowed down.

Yes sir

Rivalry game on the road - don’t stop now boys!!! Let’s go Bears!!! Going to take our best game yet!!!

Let’s go bears - way to go - that was a fun one. Nasty winds, road game, defending Super Bowl champs and we manhandled them. Running back and oline and the defense played great too. I did think the pass blocking struggled at times - at least a few times it looks like Wright got cooked / a few other times the were just confused but on the ground game - wow. Trapillo seemed to hold up outside of a play or two.

The TD he missed to zacheus wasn’t an easy throw with that wind and I think he was going down on the throw to Rome. I think next year we will see Caleb’s accuracy take a huge step forward. But you see him throwing guys open more and more, you see him using middle of field and tight ends more, and he is better in an around the pocket. Goff had a 40 percent completion percentage against that D and Love struggled against them too. That is a great D - add in those conditions and while it wast a good game - he did enough when it mattered. I see development out of him every week - but accuracy is obviously not that yet - he has to trust his feet more and that will come with continued reps and another offseason.

Caleb was falling on the pass and I think Rome slipped.

Barkley vs these LBs will be dangerous. This will be a huge challenge for Caleb and offense too. I’m expecting a tough slog and don’t think they have enough - but hoping bears play their best game of the seasons and pull it out!!!

Ozzy might have just won the LT job which would be pretty awesome. Caleb had a nice run in middle of the game. If you watch - his reads are getting better and better. His timing and footwork is still off - the change in offseason and just not yet being all the way there are impacting him - but I see him throwing more and more guys open and I truly believe as he keeps getting more comfortable we are going to see a huge step forward in terms of accuracy. When that happens - top 5 qb!!!

This - given what he missed they may want him to be in full for quite a bit longer before they deem him ready for game day. I’m still guessing next week for JJ and the following week for Kyler and TJ. Also sounds like Edmunds is out for a week or two with a groin injury.

I’m guessing they have him, Gordon and Edward’s back for the Eagles game.

Biggs had something a week ago breaking down the red zone issues - it was very good and highlighted how much penalties and the bad snaps really contributed to being too big of holes.

He really has been playing well and making a ton of splash plays. He’s a great fit in Dennis Allen’s defense.

The trend has been solid too - let’s see them continue stacking and trending positive - and see more growth from offense and Caleb and cleaner execution. They do that and I think we will also see them start to show up against better defenses (may not be good enough given injured to D - but still would be even more progress!).

The oline with exception of Theo’s pass blocking has been very good of late. Theos run blocking has been excellent - his pass blocking is beyond bad of late. Wright has been downright elite - despite playing with one arm. Kudos to him, Poles and the coaching staff on this. And I rip Poles everywhere but outside of LT, it is starting to gel quite nicely on the line - a huge step up compared to last year.

The Jets did exceptional. No clue why Colts did what they did - but they clearly believe in Daniel Jones. Cowboys got a great player - no idea why they did it now.

I was so glad to see they basically did nothing. Was very against any big moves - but this is low key and basically gets you a former 1st rounder for what will likely be moving down 15-20 spots from middle of 6th round to early in 7th.

I will say - Drake Maye looks very good. He reminds me of Herbert. Has played some bad defenses too (like Caleb this week) but he has looked the part.

I agree - I expect a lot out of him, but I don’t see Stroud or Daniel’s crushing it this year. I see a qb being pushed a ton vs coddled this year. BJ didn’t just have him doing a bunch of shotgun / read option stuff - he has him doing playing behind center a ton - something he never did in college and which required new footwork etc. That takes time. He is 12th in yards and 19th in TDs. Great - no - but awful - no. His sack rate is down a ton - YPG is up - yards per play is up a qb rating and qbr are up - all in a new system. I see more good than bad, but acknowledge he hasn’t proven shit yet - but he also flashes some real good stuff too.

They have had some good games with Dart and D is still banged up pretty good. I hope you are right - would be nice to get a comfortable W - with that said - I just want them to keep improving and grinding. Play your best game of the season Chicago!!!

I think of it more of - they are that good and Caleb is certainly a part of it - but he also has a lot more room to grow and take it up another notch - which is real exciting! This team still has lots to work through - but I expect a lot of growth this second half of the season. Not sure they make the playoffs but this team is going to learn and grow a ton this year and a foundation for sustained success will be built.

I was glad to see some young players show up today - Loveland had some big plays and Monongai was a beast. Caleb played good - still had some misses - but plenty of good too. Defense was pretty much trash - Higgins was absurd though and Joe throwing to those wideouts with our secondary is like shooing fish in a barrel. I hope Gordon and JJ will be able to come back and play meaningful football this year. Special teams - awful everywhere. But finding a way to win and getting TDs in the red zone. Rome - I expect you to pick yourself up and have a big game next week!

Special teams is awful. Santos is either hurt or needs to be cut.
