The refs haven’t done much favor for the Bears but missed a few calls against them too so at least their being consistent. 

The difference this year is the Bears are overcoming the bad calls. That is a sign of a well-coached team. One call like that over the last couple of years and the game was over.

That interference in Colston was the worst penalty I seen all yr. He sat down in his route, facing the QB and they  call a penalty on him for the DB running into him.

[Stinger226]

Caleb still making bad decisions. I would have thought he would be farther along with BJ as his coach.

It should've been a penalty on the defender actually.

2nd bogus PI call against Loveland in 2 weeks. Kid can't get a break.

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.

It won't be a linear thing. It will take most of the year to get enough game action.

Is it okay to say blowout now? NO is not a good enough team to come back. 

[Bears4Ever_34]

Well, at least it seems like the Bears are figuring out their run game. Would be nice to see the QB get back on track before the end of this game.

and both times negated a big play.

There have been a lot of stats taken off the board this year by bogus penalties.

[Stinger226]

I think we can say our running game has arrived. Kyle looks like a keeper and Swift has showed up 2 games in a row. 

[Stinger226]

Gordon and Edwards back has made this defense relevant again. 

[Stinger226]

We keep getting pounded by bad calls. At least we are playing well enough to overcome them. 

[adam]

The Bears have been penalized 6 times for 72 yards. The Saints have 13 yards on offense.

Yeah it is beyond ridiculous this year. Gordon was going for a mid-shot and Kamara dropped his head.

I would agree but…we are Bears fans and always skeptical.   But also willing to look a gift horse in the mouth.  Lol

[adam]

Sweat again with another stop on 4th down.

[Bears4Ever_34]

Caleb is getting worse. Starting to get concerned now. Everytime he's on the run it's an automatic incompletion. 

[adam]

I don't know of Johnson is telling Caleb to throw it no matter what, but he has had some scrambling chances but is looking to throw on every play. 

[adam]

and just like that. Saints RT left early, officials did call it, TD. Ugh. I hate the officials. If that was the Bears, they would've called it before it happened.

[Pixote]

Defense better not ease up. NOS goes the length of the field for a quick score.

It isn't over until it's over.

[adam]

Odunze is catching nothing. He was a huge contested catch guy out of WAS and it seems like every time there is a contested catch, he drops it.

[adam]

It is wild that I feel like this up 20-7 at halftime.

[Alaskan Grizzly]

Caleb is aware there are other recievers besides Odunze on the team right?  

[Bears4Ever_34]

Rome Odunze kind of sucks, and that's also concerning. Unless he's wide open, he's dropping anything close. Caleb needs to start throwing these balls to DJ Moore.
