Caleb is not seeing the field at all today. Two guys open initially on that extremely long scramble play that nets zero yards. Get rid of the ball or get upfield for positive yards. Stop dancing.

Finally get in the endzone. Get another stop on defense, and maybe the quarterback can start to settle in a little.

A 2nd and 11 run followed by a 3rd down play where nobody can get open after 10 seconds. This is some brutal football we're watching. Bad QB play and bad playcalling right now.

Not sure why they've gotten away from Monangai after his big run on that 2nd drive. Also, where are the outside zone runs and tosses that worked so well last week? They've had far less success all season running between the tackles. If you're going to do that, Monangai is a better option for those runs, seemingly.

Monangai looked good on the last drive before the offense malfunctioned. Would love to see him continue to get opportunities.

Absolutely atrocious start by Caleb and this offense. 2 fumbles after the defense forces a turnover in the redzone. Cannot happen. This is how you lose games to bad teams.

Yeah, Kmet's production has fallen off a cliff. It's hard to believe a Ben Johnson offense features so little of these TE's. Loveland was excellent in camp, reportedly, but he's been a no show this entire season while Tyler Warren has become the best TE in football with Bowers out.

I would be very curious to know what percentage of teams that have won 4 games in a row at some point during their season go on to make the playoffs? We know starting 4-0 correlates to about an 83% chance. My guess is that it's maybe slightly lower than that, but probably not by much. Bears really need to stretch this thing to 4 with a win against the Saints this week. I have pretty good feelings about the this matchup. I know the Saints have looked better than their record so far, but you have to figure Dennis Allen wants to get his revenge, and you know Caleb will be fired up to go against Rattler. This could be their best game of the season. If there were ever a time to pad those offensive stats, it would be now.

I agree about Loveland. His OPI was bogus, but he needs to be making more of an impact for a 1st round pick. Tyler Warren has completely outplayed him all season. Right now, Loveland looks like just a guy. He hasn't done anything that's stood out. At least Burden has shown flashes. They have to get more out of both of them, to be honest.

He had two touchdowns, 1 was rushing. Daniels had 1 more TD, but 2 costly turnovers. I think it's wild he ends the game with a near 70 QBR with that stat line when he literally fumbled the game away. I thought the stat was supposed to account for high leverage moments. If 50 is average, I felt like Caleb was a little under that and Daniels was probably just above that.

Up until that final Daniels turnover, I thought he was. Caleb's accuracy and decision making was all over the place. He's lucky he wasn't picked a couple times in the redzone. I think almost all of the close ones were plays that involved Rome: the 4th down, the deep ball into double coverage, and the late slant in the endzone. There were at least a few others that were just straight up misses to open guys. It wasn't pretty for him, regardless of whether or not he got screwed on that other TD. That said, once Daniels fumbled that ball on the most critical play of the game, I think he brought himself down closer even with Caleb, perhaps even slightly worse. Regardless, they were somehow able to get a win by beating two teams today. This never happens. I'm feeling a whole hell of a lot better now. The Bears had to prove to me they could win a game like this. I give them and Caleb a lot of credit for their resilience.

Lol, Caleb finishes with a 37 QBR and Daniels with a 69 in a game he had two killer turnovers, threw for fewer yards, only 1 more TD (though Caleb's was taken away or he would have had 3), and lost the game. Also took the same amount of sacks as Caleb. I didn't think Caleb played well for the vast majority of the game, but Jayden's two turnovers were much bigger plays than the misses Caleb had, and zero turnovers has to count for something. The discrepancy is completely nonsensical.

Easy win. Never a doubt in my mind!

Zaccheus drops a catch that would have likely been a TD after the Bears get screwed over again on a phantom offsides that they conveniently don't show a replay for.

This is unbelievable right now with the officiating. Another horseshit penalty on Brisker that gifts the Commanders a 1st down on 3rd down.

Daniels outplaying Caleb once again. Penix just beat Josh Allen. Nearing panic time with this QB. He's the only one who always looks nervous against these good teams. Everyone else is stoic af.

And now a blocked kick. freak this team, man.

Yeah, this just feels like what can go wrong tonight will for the Bears. 3rd and 1 and you needlessly rush the play before the end of the quarter for no reason and the bobble turns into negative yards, which forces you to settle for another FG. This has been a clinic on how not to win a game.

You've got to be freakin kidding me. ANOTHER phantom penalty that takes away a TD from Caleb. 14 point swing on two horrendous calls.

Offense can't go into the toilet this half. Time for Caleb to step up and flip that switch.

The officiating has been predictably one sided again against the Bears, but the offense is really shitting the bed tonight not capitalizing off of takeaways and great field position. The defense has done enough to give the team a chance. If they lose, it'll be on the offense. Caleb has been horrible all night, missing so many easy short throws. The run game has surprisingly been effective. They need to keep at it until it stops working.

Bears eventually have to win these games they aren't supposed to win to get to the place we all want them to be. Unless the defense completely rolls over, like they did against DET, Caleb needs to rise to the challenge and win this game. Getting to 3-2 with the Saints next on the schedule would be huge for the confidence in this team. If they get smacked around by the Commanders, all that culture change talk after the win against the Raiders will mean absolutely nothing. Nothing changes until they win one of these big games, against an actual team.

Bo Nix really isn't that good. He's a marginally improved version of 2018 Mitchell Trubisky with an elite defense. Denver's defense is loaded. Nix nearly just lost to a QB on the other side (Justin Fields) who had -10 net passing yards.

I would be shocked if the Bears defense can hold the Commanders under 350 yards of total offense. They gave up over 500 yards last year. The only way they can win, I think, is if they either have another 4 takeaway game, or they hold them to 3 instead of 7 when they get into the redzone—which is what they did last year. The offense has to get back to starting games fast again. Play with a lead. It's time for Caleb Williams to show why he was the #1 pick. It's time to make a statement. I truly hope he's up for the task and we don't have to sit through another blowout with his accuracy continuing to look erratic.

And now Drake Maye has a career game against the Bills on national tv, because of course he does. Nix has a 4th quarter comeback against the best team in football... This really has been the worst week for the Bears. It's beyond frustrating to see Caleb grow as a quarterback and still make up almost no ground on anybody else in his class. And it's not just that he hasn't made up ground, it's that those other guys are all arguably top 10-12 quarterbacks now with the exception of McCarthy and maybe Penix (for now). It pisses me off. It almost feels like next Monday night is becoming a must win, just to stop the media circus that will certainly ensue if Caleb doesn't play well while his peers have all gotten their statement games out of the way.
