Already down 7-3 after the defense forces 2 turnovers. If the Bears lose this one, it's a 5-win season.

ffs Sewell, you had one job, follow the RB to the flat and you don't. Come on man.

Now the defense stuffs LVR twice in their own zone, forces a fumble, and gifts the offense gimme field position, and now LVR is batting down every pass and stopping every run. Now another batted ball for INT. WTF is going on.

Terrible playcalling by Johnson so far. Runs right into the defense, then predictable passes. Called a timeout on 3rd down, and I knew the WR screen was coming. Come on man, I should not be able to predict that like you are Nagy or Waldron.

Byard with a huge INT on 3rd Down with a great return.

Swift drops the ball that hits him in the hands on 3rd Down, then Taylor punts the ball for only 46 yards. How can this guy boot 70 yarders in college and now is kicking 25 yards less? Makes no sense.

I would be shocked if Loveland beat out Warren considering Warren leads all TEs in the NFL thru 3 weeks, but Loveland needs to get on the field and get some targets to have a chance to do that.

MIN lost to PIT, now 2-2. WAS lost to ALT, now 2-2, the Bears next opponent out of the bye.

Don't forget he missed most of the offseason with injury, and the Bears knew about that and still drafted him. Warren seemed like the pick until he wasn't.

Looks like no Loveland: Wright, Edwards, and Jarrett were already out. Loveland hasn't been a big part of the offense, but hopefully they will get more out of him as the season goes on, especially for a top 10 pick.

Thru 3 weeks, the Bears are the best team in the league collectively on 3rd Down. The Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen effect.

Deadline is the 30th.

The top 2 most improved QBs thru 3 weeks are Daniel Jones and Caleb Williams. Jones was beyond terrible, so he had much more room to get better. He is playing great and looks like a completely different QB. Of all the QBs in the NFL that played last season, there are only 3 that are better this year than they were last year, which is quite shocking to be honest. The 3rd QB is Rattler but like Jones, he was so bad that just playing average makes him look like the second coming of Dan Marino.

Yeah, Crosby will get his pressures and probably a sack, but none of his effort has really ever equated to anything for the team. Since he joined them in 2019, they have a losing record and only one season with a record above .500.

Yeah, it's a mindset thing. You can tell when things start to click for guys. I am sure there will be more bumps in the road, but I think we are on the way up.

One thing for me that is promising is that it didn't look difficult. Caleb and by extension Ben made everything look easy. We have been asking for a scheme that got receivers open, and we are finally seeing it.

Caleb is excelling in situational football. 3rd Downs, 123.7 Passer Rating, Red Zone, 120.5 Passer Rating, trailing with 4 mins to go, 134.2 Passer Rating. Right now he needs to improve on 2nd Down, 57.5 Passer Rating (1 INT), and in the 3rd Quarter, 68.4 Passer Rating, but that's about it. Another solid performance against LVR and I think some of these numbers will level out.

That is absolutely fair, but after Week 4, we will be thru the first quarter of the season. So unless there are huge changes in usage and performance, what they have already done will just continue to trend in the relative same way for the remainder of the season.

Poles really does suck. Take your pick for OT in the first, probably can trade back from 10 and still get Simmons. Burden was a no-brainer once the Ohio St RBs went, but what about Mukuba over Trapilo in the 2nd, then trade the Turner pick for later ones to pickup Skattebo and Gadsden. Poles would be better off using mock draft simulators. Josh Simmons/Greg Zabel (OT) - 1st Luther Burden (WR) - 2nd Andrew Mukuba (S) - 2nd (Trapilo) Cam Skattebo (RB) - 3rd/4th (Turner) Oronde Gadsden (TE) - 4th/5th (Turner)

So looking up some different stats, I was shocked to find out that there is only one QB in NFL history to open their career up with over 4,000 Passing Yards, +25 Passing TDs, less than 10 INTs, and 500 Rushing Yards before the age of 24. Caleb Williams. I think he has 5 more games before hitting 24. So every stat he gets will stack onto this own record. He should easily hit 5K and 30 TDs by then. Crazy.

He runs into the back of a blocker or into a defender on every run. Even on the long screen pass, if he keeps running right, he gains 10 more or might have scored. Instead he cuts back towards the defender and runs into a tackle.

So 9 wins seems very realistic, with up to 11 if they take care of the teams they should be (going 6-0), and splitting the division games (going 3-1 for the remaining 4). NYG, CLE, NO, CIN, LVR, and WAS 5-1 PIT and SF (w/o Bosa) 1-1, could win both. BAL and PHI 0-2, could sneak 4 DIV Games (MIN, DET, GBx2) 2-2

Week 3 Tankathon Standings: 1. NYJ 0-3 2. NO 0-3 3. TEN 0-3 4. MIA 0-3 5. NYG 0-3 6. HOU 0-3 Bears now 14th at 1-2, with all teams from 7th-15th at 1-2.

Swapping the MIN - W and DAL - L, the Bears would've been 1-2 heading to LVR. So a win there, then into the bye at 2-2, and this is back to being on track for 10 wins.

The Raiders just got gashed by Marcus Mariota. WAS sacked Geno Smith 5 times, and they had a punt return for a TD. On defense LVR is closer to DAL than MIN or DET. LVR has fewer QB Pressures than DAL. I feel like this is a high 20s to low 20s type of game, like Bears 28-20. The Bears have to get to 2-2 going into the early bye. For the Raiders, this is not as much of a must-win for them.
