adam Posted Saturday at 06:54 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:54 PM McLaurin and Noah Brown out, so outside of Deebo and Ertz, this is going to be a run heavy attack. Looks like Johnson announced Benedet will be starting at LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM Deebo questionable too, clearly not 100%. The Bears have to take advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted yesterday at 12:32 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:32 AM I expect a better effort in the run game but if we hold them under 125, I would be happy. Its going to be about how many points we score, a better defense will just be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted yesterday at 12:41 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:41 PM I think we have a good group of coaches and will address some problems we have and make it better. Not sure we can become a demon defense against the run but at least get us to a level of average. It appears that we will have everyone back but Grady Jarrett. Not referring to the players on season ending injuries. Adjustments and health should give us a boost. We have a new LT. BJ has a better effort from everyone and Jones didnt get better. Blame in the injury it doesnt matter it wasnt good enough. Beno now gets his shot. I dont think they think he will be a world beater but at least have the chance to grow and be better every week. He had some bad moments against Crosby but also some good ones and that's what they are banking on with Theo. As last year's Washington game was the blow up moment for that team, I think the block FG will be that moment for this year's team. I think all of the games are going to come down to the last five minutes of a game this year and we now have confidence and a QB that excels in that moment. It should get us a winning season.

Also, don't think it ever happened... It appears I was duped by the internet. And bad editorial preview on my part. However, their records aren’t all that different at this point of their careers. And I’d like nothing more than Williams to go 8-0 over the next 8 games . 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I don’t think the Bears have the horses to win this. Run defense doesn’t match up and even with no McClaurin - between Daniel’s, Debo, and the running backs I can’t see our defense holding them to under 28. Offensively we have seen progress- hopefully they can keep building and start to show progress on ground game and we see Caleb play his most complete game yet - but if they fall behind with the Commanders pass rush - this game can get ugly early. Let’s go Bears - step up here and play some great football!!! Would love to see Montez show up and let MNF jump start his season and the pass rush with Booker hopefully back. I see DJ having a big game and curious to see what tricks/wrinkles Ben has up his sleeve following the bye week. Hopefully we see Caleb continue to grow from the pocket and see his footwork and timing continue to improve. Let’s also clean up those penalties!

Bears4Ever_34 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First comes flashes - we've seen that. The rest of this year is to gain consistency - make first downs, win time of possession. Then, if we can get a proper pass rush and can stop the run up front, our window to compete opens. Soon we should be able to beat the bottom 20 teams consistently - then we have to learn what it takes to beat those really good teams. So yeah, I totally agree with you. That's whats in front of us.
