Week 5 Official Game Thread - CHI @ GB, SUN 10/11, 12PM, FOX, CHI +2.5, O/U 45.5
Alright - lets get some guys back healthy and lets see the team reset and lock in. Let's get our starting QB back, lets hopefully get our nickel back Gordon here, and lets hopefully see Shemar Turner back too and see if over time he can make an impact. Let's also see the offense get back to the little things as well. I am sure Dillon will learn from some things too. I do think we may see the Bears make a trade here to upgrade the defense. Khalil Mack has been rumored, but I wonder if we see a more splash move happen on the dline (or at DB).

He is yet another example of Bears front office betting wrong on an internal player. But JJ is gone - get rid of him

People really ignored fact this Packers team has tons of talent. Love is an above average qb and they have good receivers. They had a slow start and blew a game awful but they heard all the chatter and played well and the Bears will didn’t. They better look themselves in the mirror and get back to work cause they have a lot to clean up for the guys who were out there. Caleb back will help but don’t use back up qb play as an excuse. I

They came in arrogant and got whooped. You could see with either back up we had zero downfield passing game and a 3rd week in a row and there were adjustments made by defense and we got whooped. 5 turnovers - sad. Defense got whooped too.

Bagent announced as this week's starter. Will be curious to see if Caleb takes any reps - I got to imagine they want to get him back out there and make sure he goes through the motions before they get him back on the field. Having him get some limited reps this week and then maybe a full practice week next week would put him in play for Falcons game...if he doesn't get any reps this week I could see Falcons game being less likely. We need to get our QB back - huge to win 2 straight with our backups (and hopefully a 3rd straight) but our starting QB still has a lot of reps and growth he needs and while he's more raw in his pocket play - he's such an elite talent.

Winning in the road against a team like the Packers is never easy...they have their backs against the wall and they are going to give it everything. Even harder if we have our backup QB out there...not saying it isn't possible...but this is not going to be easy...possible...absolutely...I believe this team beat anyone when they play their best.

In fairness, when you don't notice a DB that is generally a good thing. I can't recall any passes his direction even. I think people are being too hard on JJ and even Stevenson. Yeah he dropped a pick...but he also was right where he needed to be on that play and had a few really good tackles and played good overall sans 1 play (and I think the safety left him exposed on that play).

Overall good game...they left points on the field but did a lot right. Huge credit to defense to doing what it needed to do. No one player...just playing well as a team and making things hard for the opposing QB. Geno did not have much time to throw at all...which is always a good thing. Offensively oline played outstanding and Bradbury looked excellent. Want to acknowledge that since he started the season slow. Theo played a pretty darn good game himself filling in for Jones. Bagent was good...not great. Execution in red zone left a lot to be desired and he had basically 2 real poor throws for INT's (one of which was overturned). The other 2 picks on penalties were on free plays / because of the penalty...so I didn't mind those two one bit. That said - Bagent used more of the field than Keenum. Rome had a very good game and I felt we had players open all game which was a great thing and something we saw less of early in the season. Curious if we see Caleb on practice field on Wednesday...winning on the road against your division rivals with a backup QB is tough...will be tough with Caleb too. I imagine Bears are going to try and make it hard on Packers D to prepare so my guess is we won't know starter until Sunday and even if Caleb practices that may not be a sign (obviously if he doesn't practice he isn't playing - he's been out too long to not need a week of practice to get back into the game). Really nice win and Monagai played strong. Fully expect Swift will learn from this game and I do think his knee is impacting his explosiveness / final push too. Swift fumbled zero times last year so I dont' think this is a long-term issue, but clearly he's got to dial it in and work on the little things. Hopefully Monagai's injury isn't serious. Roschon ran hard as well. I think one big point from BJ was how hard Kyle and Roschon ran and my guess is Swift just isn't comfortable pushing himself further...so maybe it ends up being a blessing in disguise he got more limited reps.

Feels like next week might be week we see Trapillo as a back up but they already ruled him out this week.

Coby Bryant Return
4-6 months and pretty gruesome injury…I would love a healthy Bryant back in November…would be a huge add.

Oz is BACK - Activated off Pup today!!!
I am glad they are making sure Oz gets the work in and builds himself back. I think week 6 is when we see him back on the game day roster maybe week 8 is when he starts. Gordon I think is week 5 or 6 with him having practiced in full all week but he still needs some time. Allen seemed to say he looked pretty good out there though.

Upcoming Schedule
One week at a time. Winning with back up qbs is hard to do - let’s focus on the Jets!

Coby Bryant Return
What is the meaning of that post?

Kyler Gordon Returns
He was a reporter full participant in the walk through yesterday so I’m presuming he will be a full today. Hopefully despite all the challenges he will have figured this out and we get back a good football player for the next few years.

Week 3 Official Game Thread - PHI @ CHI, 9/28, 715pm, CHI +4.5, O/U 41.5, MNF/ABC/ESPN
Pass rush and pressure rate looked way better and Dillon T looks like a dude. Every week he looks explosive and he’s got plenty to learn but I think we got a baller on the back end!

Huge win great game. Defense - hell yeah! Keenum - hell yeah! Coaching staff - excellent job!!! Loveland / Burden / Raymond - nice work. Fun game and I hope Caleb who is great sees and learns from what the old vet did. You apply that learning with what you got and there is a level of qb that the league has never seen!!!

Start Logan Jones
It’s interesting because protections and complexity of offense indicates it takes a bit for a young center to be ready, but with Caleb likely out a week or two is now a good time to go through those growing pains.
-
Beau Gardner released, and Scott Daly is back
Kmet was also late on the snap - which implies in this case it was not Rouschs fault or maybe coaching. Or maybe it was seeing that video.

Week 2 Official Game Thread - MIN @ CHI 9/20, 12PM CDT, CHI -4.5 O/U 48.5, FOX
I am hoping we get excellent news. He walked out on his own - hopefully this is a less then 4 week injury. When that happened I thought he was done for the year. This is one of those games where the bears will learn a lot from!

Sloppy offense all the way around. Film review won’t be kind to offense. Lots of mistakes but they still were a play away from winning. Get better fast Caleb and solid work defense! Rousch…ugh. Snapping situation on special teams ugh…penalties ugggh.

This Could Be The MVP
This week will be a big test. He has struggled against Flores defenses in his career. I want to see him throw into the blitz and make Flores pay for all of the exotic. Take the easy wins Caleb and the big plays will come in this game.
-
Kyler Gordon Returns
Kyler is liked by his teammates - this whole thing is frustrating but he is clearly working at this point and hopefully the new approach will end up working on the soft tissue issue and we get a baller for the next few years starting in a few more weeks. All Indications seem to be pointing to him returning to practice in next 2-3 weeks.
