Regardless of injuries, giving up the 3rd most yards per play, 4th most yards and 10th most points is a fireable offense. The Bears defense allowed 1,400 more yards than the #1 defense, 1,400! That is insane. Almost 100 yards per game more. The Bears scored 90 pts off turnovers, 2nd most in the NFL. If that went down to the average, they would've lost 42 pts on the season and would be a 7-win team because of the defense.

The Bears need someone who can take the top off the defense. Right now safeties can really crowd the box and make intermediate passes and rushing that much more difficult because they don't have to worry about anyone running by them.

The Bears still haven't played a complete game all season. A few close ones, but all 3 units, playing close to their maximum potential. If both teams play like that, the Bears win. Without Parsons, GB has yet to win a game. When Parsons plays, they allow 19 pts a game, without him, over 28. With Parsons, they held opponents to 21 or under 9 times. I know there is so much talk about GB's offense and Love, but it seems that GB's winning is more tied to their defense than their offense.

The Bears lost on the last play of the game in their last two games. They have basically been in playoff mode for the last month, while GB hasn't won in that same period. Playoff teams that lose the regular-season finale are 22-5 (.815) in home playoff openers since 2011. Recent teams to lose 4+ games to end the regular season: PIT 2024 - lost in Wild Card, on the road, 28-14 to BAL DET 1999 - lost in Wild Card, on the road, 27-13, to WSH both were rematches as well. GB would be the first team in NFL history to lose 4 straight games in the regular season, then win a playoff game on the road. The Jets won a game in 1986 after losing 5 straight, but they played at home to win in the WC round.

Jonathan Gannon was really good as a DC, never worked out as a HC. With him now available, do you consider bringing someone like him on in 2026, just keep DA, or promote from within?

I find it funny that people are talking about momentum with the Bears losing 2 games in a row, yet the Packers have lost 4 straight, and their last win was against the Bears on 12/7.

The Bears first 5 drives were Punt, Punt, Downs, Punt, INT. In the same 5 for DET, they got a TD and 2x FGs. The offense had the ball with 2:11 left with the ball at the 26, used 16 seconds and gave the ball right back to DET at their 37. That was the ball game right there. They could've at least burnt the clock down to not give DET any time to do anything, but 16 seconds, not a single running play? The Bears had all their timeouts and the 2 minute warning. There was no reason to pass there, get it under the 1:30, then play the clock game.

Swift finished 12th in rushing, Monangai 24th.

Loveland was 45th in the NFL in receiving yards, but the Bears had 4 receivers in the top 54.

The LaPorta comp is pretty wild if you use LaPorta's 2nd year: Laporta 83 targets - Loveland 82 Laporta 60 receptions - Loveland 58 Laporta 726 Yards - Loveland 713 Laporta 12.1 Y/R - Loveland 12.3 Laporta 7 TD - Loveland 6 both playing in 16 games Laporta's rookie year is not really comparable because he had 120 targets that season.

Caleb finishes 7th in Passing Yards, 6th in Passing TDs, 16th in QBR. Year over Year, he went from a 43.3 QBR to a 58.3 QBR, QB Rating from 87.8 to 90.1, Pass TDs from 20 to 27, Y/A from 6.3 to 6.9, and Sacks dropped from 68 to 24. The only blemish is the Comp% dropping from 62.5% to 58.1%, which is as much early season accuracy issues as it was receiver drops.

Final Top 4: Loveland 58-713-6 Moore 50-682-6 Odunze 44-661-6 Burden 47-652-2 Loveland finishes as the top receiver for the Bears, crazy. Burden almost passed both Odunze and Moore.

Loveland finished the regular season as the Bears leading Receiver with 58 Receptions and 713 Yards and 6 TDs.

Caleb's final regular-season numbers: 330-568, 58.1%, 3,942 Yds, 27 TD, 7 INT, 24 Sacks, 388 Rush Yds, 3 TD, 22 Rec Yds, 1 TD. 4,352 Total Yds, 31 Total TDs, 7 Turnovers. New Franchise Record for Passing Yards (3942), Passing Attempts (568), QB Rating (90.1) and Total TDs (31).

#2 seed playing on short rest against a team that rested their starters this week. Not ideal but here we are. Bears favored by 1.5, same as BUF who is in the road against JAX. PHI and NE favored by 3.5, Rams by 10.

So it ends up being GB @ CHI, SF @ PHI, and LAR @ CAR. With LAR gonna be the heavy favorites as the #5 Seed. If CHI and PHI both win, PHI comes to CHI. If SF wins, LAR comes to CHI. Gotta win this one against GB.

For how bad the defense played they only allowed 19 pts. Offense tool way too long to get going, way too much instant pressure. Looks like it's GB with the Bears as the #2 Seed.

Yep. Immediately behind on down and distance.

No protection no one open, where is the outlet?

Wow Goff choked. Byard with another INT. Finish this Caleb!

Where was this all game? Lol. Let's go defense, keep this momentum.

Wow

Wow Campbell got cute lol. What is he thinking? The Bears can't stop any crossing route and you go with a trick play on 3rd and 1?

This defense is so bad, may be the worst in the league. They can't stop anything.

After being outplayed for 3 quarters, they are only down by one score. Need a stop to make this a game.
