Confused with the play calls. If the quick 5 to 6 yard hitches are working, keep throwing them. I don't know how Detroit's defense can have 3 guys around the ball on every play but the Bears defense is lucky to have one player within 5 yards.

Ffs, the defense needs to take St Brown out of the game.

2 deep safeties, so they have numbers to run, Monangai was just hitting the wrong hole.

Goff is going to shred the soft zone with no pressure. I hate it. Play man with safeties over the top.

Monangai not following his blockers on two runs, Swift looks much better.

Love the running. Swift outside zone.

Love how Duvernay doesn't follow his lead blockers and runs straight into 3 defenders lol.

These spots are wild, St Brown catches the ball but goes back a yard before being touched and they give him the yard back. That's not how forward progress works. Then Monty doesn't get near the first down and they just give it to him.

Wright allowing 2 first down completions like clockwork.

DA has gone very vanilla and sort of hoped for the other teams to make a mistake instead of forcing them into ones. I think a lot has to do with injuries. Johnson and Gordon have played in one game together, against PHI. That's it. Edmunds has missed 4 and hasn't been the same since coming back from injury. Edwards missed 7 games. So with the LBs missing time, communication and pre-snap alignment has probably not been as clean as you would like it to be.

Teams are 2-13-1 after playing the Bears too. They is a sign of a physical team and is not just a fluke. Wright has been getting burnt a lot. I wonder if Stevenson will get more reps?

If Bears win, they play GB. Bears lose and Eagles win, Bears more than likely play the Rams. Rams would have to lose to the Cardinals to fall to the #6 seed. So it could be GB @ CHI, SF @ PHI, and LAR @ TB/CAR. Then if the Bears win in the WC, it would be PHI or LAR @ CHI in the Divisional Round. Since SF would be the lowest seed remaining, if they win in PHI, they go to SEA. If PHI wins, LAR goes to SEA, and PHI comes to CHI.

Yeah, get the 4K, then it becomes a non-story. Then we can talk about 5K lol.

Burden just needs more targets.

That's fair, but Williams, Trubisky, and Fields are not in the same stratosphere. I can't tell you how many times we were told about Mitch going from 101 to 201, taking the training wheels off. I think we are well past that point with Williams. Williams is the first QB in NFL history to start a career with more than 7K Passing yards, 800 Rush yards, with more than 40 Pass TDs and fewer than 15 INTs through their first 33 games. One other QB has put up those numbers in a 33-game span in their entire careers, once by Josh Allen. Caleb has done it in his first 33 games. With 229 Passing Yards, Caleb will hit 7,500 in his first two seasons. With one TD, he will be at 50 (Pass+Rush+Rec). With 24 Rushing Yards, he will hit 900. That would be over 8,400 Pass+Rush Yards in his first two years, averaging 4,200 per year with 25 TDs. Those are franchise QB numbers, and that's his floor.

I haven't looked it up but someone posted that Diggs has a 158.3 QB Rating against, the worst in the NFL. If that is true, you literally can't get any worse and he obvious has other things going on in his life to be that bad on the field.

I still find it interesting that some people/media are not "sold" on Caleb yet. Like what else does this guy need to do? The Bears just won the NFC North and have a chance for the #2 seed. He is about to break the franchise Passing Yards record at 24 yrs old. In most cases, he is neck and neck stat-wise with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, and Bo Nix. The only QBs ahead of the pack are Stafford, Goff, Prescott, and Maye (the only QBs with 30+ TD Passes and 4K yards). However, he is elite with ball safety, basically breaking his own record with every attempt. With 3 more attempts, he will have the lowest INT rate for a QB in their first 1,100 attempts. He already has the record for the lowest with 1K attempts. The BEST PART, he is still not a finished product. I don't know if he will ever be a 70% Comp guy, but who cares? That is a good goal, but that is not the end all be all. Stafford is a career 63.5% Comp QB. However, he didn't hit 60% for his career until he was 27, in Year 7. All the while throwing double-digit INTs every season. Josh Allen didn't hit 60% until Year 3. Tom Brady was under 62% until Year 8. Caleb is at 60.3% for his career already. I think 65% is a more realistic goal. At the start of the season, we were hoping for 40 or fewer sacks. He has 23 heading into Week 17 and hasn't been sacked in the last 2 games. He got sacked in every game last year. The wildest advanced stat on his sacks, Caleb has the lowest sack rate of any QB with 80+ sacks in his first two seasons.

Brady only hit 4K once in his first 7 seasons. Caleb will hit it, and I am sure he will consistently hit it, but if he doesn't, I don't think it is the biggest deal. There are a lot of bad QBs that have hit 4K, so that alone is not the measure of success (Matt Schaub, Brad Johnson, Trent Green, Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, Josh Freeman, Jon Kitna). Notable QBs in top 50 all-time: Elway's best season: 4,030 Passing Yards Esiason's best season: 3,959 Passing Yards Montana's best season: 3,944 Passing Yards McNabb's best season: 3,916 Passing Yards Aikman's best season: 3,445 Passing Yards I just hope he hits it, gets 270+ so we can finally move onto other discussions.

I sent you a DM in reference to payout.

It is so funny how all 3 of the other fanbases are acting towards the Bears this year.

There are a bunch of these lol:

I could've sworn we were talking about him in the 2nd round and the Bears had 2x 2nd rounders, but went DB x2.

Crazy to think that the Bears could've had the best record in the NFL if games were called evenly.

Definitely, especially with an in-season injury.
