Broncos up 4, Rams up 10, let's go!

PART DEUX in our house. Biggest game since 2018. Looks like Parsons may have torn is ACL, tough break for GB, but that significantly changes this game. DEN just put up 34 on GBs defense and the Bears scored 21 (would've been 24) last week with Parsons in all game. So the Bears should be projected to score 27 or 28. They may have lost Watson too, but that is too soon to know. He has 5 TDs in the last 5 games and had scored 2 against the Bears. That would be another huge loss.

Just like that Lions down by 10, Packer only up by 2, but Parsons hurt, which may be the biggest news.

Rams scored, up by 3, Broncos force a punt, now have the ball down by 2. There is still a good chance that GB, DET, and SEA all lose.

Neither game is over yet, Lions up by 4, Rams ball. Packers up by 2. A lot of time left in both games. Also, other teams have some tough schedules as well. SEA has LAR, @CAR, then @SF. GB has @CHI, BAL, then @MIN. SF has @IND, CHI, then SEA. DET has PIT, @MIN, then @CHI.

Outside of those 2x 40-yard receptions, the defense was playing great. I was just saying if that is all they can do, you have to take that away with at least one Safety over the top. It looked like he adjusted after the 2nd one, which was good to see,

Booker with a sack to end it! 31-3 domination!

NE had won 120 games in a row at home when they had a 17 pt lead, Drake Maye just QB'd their first loss to break that streak. Talk about crapping down your leg. Maye had 155 yards passing, 0 TD, and 1 INT. MVP Candidate?

CJGJ may be the best in season free agent acquisition in Bears history. You have to find a way to sign him to a long term deal.

7/21 Passing with 2 INTs from Sanders so far. Outside of those 2 deep passes, he has 23 yards passing.

Holy shit D'Andre Swift, what a run!

Why did he run out of the back of the end zone? Isn't that CLE ball at the 20?

Not having a Safety over the top against Bond is a choice. How many times will they have to do that before DA adjusts? 2 massive explosives negates a ton of good play.

Wow, crazy throw and catch by Caleb and DJ.

They heard you Pix!

Huge INT by Jackson!

Funny how the Browns kicker can easily kick a 50-yarder "in these conditions" yet Santos can't hit a 35-yarder and almost missed an XP. He is such a liability.

3rd and 1, he calls a pass. 3rd and 3 he calls a run, forces a pass on 4th down, then all the routes are long developing which results in a sack. Very confused by some of the play calling today.

Hurt on a meaningless play has to be the worst. Terrible decision, odds of scoring was so low that a punt and fumble had higher odds.

I found that too the other day.

The Bears have really drawn the short stick on weather games. Several rainy, windy, and/or cold.

No QB is perfect. Every incompletion of Caleb's is scrutinized, yet his numbers are comparable to Daniel Jones, Josh Allen, Jordan Love, Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, and better than Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, CJ Stroud, etc. If you didn't see the league leaders with him in 12th for Passing Yards, T-12th in Pass TDs, 5th in Sack%, and 8th in INT%, you would think he is a bottom 3rd QB. It is so weird. QBs make inaccurate passes, miss reads, take sacks, and throw INTs. He absolutely has to be more accurate, especially in clean pockets, but we are talking about 2-3 passes a game.

The play got really mucked up, Trapilo falls down, Oz barely blocks, Kmet looks like he is running in place. Look at how much ground Kmet and the DB (who intercepted it) cover in the same amount of time. One of the lesser seen parts is the guy who intercepted it was actually covering DJ, but because he came across the LOS after the snap, the DB was actually tracking him first, then switched to Kmet when he crossed his path. If DJ runs a normal route right towards his defender, Kmet is wide open again.

I would love for them to get the next two, then at least split with SF and DET. 11 wins gets you in, especially if DET and GB lose this week, but 12 wins keeps you in the #1 Seed contention. The MIN game in Week 1, really, really, really sucks now. The differential is such a hard thing to use, as it doesn't take any context into account. There are a lot of garbage time TDs that pad stats on both sides. CAR has a winning record but is -61 while KC has a losing record but is +63?

Coverage and return units still suck balls. The Bears lost 28 net yards between their kickoffs and GB kickoffs. That is basically 3 pts lost on just kickoffs. Starting LOS after kickoffs - CHI 28, 26, 26, 40 (kicked OB), 26 GB 40 (kicked short), 35, 37, 27, 35 Bears punted at the GB 41 because they couldn't trust Santos on long kicks (again).
