Wow three guys were open on the second to last play when he moved out of the pocket.

My god Special Teams is brutal. 

what an appropriate way to end the first half. Sigh...

Wow.  Santos is either not recovered from his injury or just lost the touch . As much as I love him might be time to get Moody back. 

12/22 in the first half is just brutal for Caleb. I'd kill for an accurate quarterback. He misses every check down.

Get Santos off this freakin team.

How was that late hit on Williams not roughing???

Defense is terrible. I get that Johnson and Gordon are out, but Gardner-Johnson is comparable to Gordon. So you are down one guy, the defense should not be this bad. I blame Poles. Coaches can only do so much. 

Wright was and still is a liability on the CB position.  Got beat horribly on that last TD .  
 

Understanding the hate for Poles what more could he have done for the defense?  He had a prime directive to improve the offense and then started by hiring the most sought after coach in Johnson.  Then to appease Johnson and his 12 offense concept, drafted a TE in the #1 spot.  He also got a replacement (and 1st round talent) for Moore with Bolden.  Were they wasted picks?  Maybe - hindsight it is what it is. But to help the defense he hired “one of the best defensive minds the NFL” in Allen, signed a few key FAs (Jarrett among them) and you should see some improvement in your defense , even if it is minimal. Yet here we are . 

Monangai is borderline unstoppable. 

Huge TD to Loveland. 

Odunze keeps dropping passes that hit his hands. Feed Loveland and Monangai.

10 Pass Attempts, 11 Rushing Attempts, and 2 Scrambles (Pass play), so about as close as you can get to 50/50 mix. This is about as optimal as you can get. 

Is there a way to break that down on red zone offense performance?  If anyone can I would think you could. 

And a nice series and sweet looking TD to start the half. So far so good with the scripted plays.   

Thank god they got a touchdown out of that. Odunze might be a bust as a top 10 pick. Monangai completely dominated the Bengals defense that entire drive. He's really starting to assert himself as a quality back.

Every WR against the Bears Defense turns into Megatron, what the hell is going on. Then on offense Odunze can't catch a ball uncontested?

Bears always play the opposite of complimentary football. Offense finally scores 7, defense immediately gives it back up in only a few plays. 

 

This game is coming down to the last team to score wins.

Game should be tied with an average kicker. 

We hold the WR, pass complete. We commit pass interference, pass complete. We can't even stop them by cheating. 

Brittain Brown getting in the action, a hard run after contact, then over the top al la Sweetness for the first down. Love it.

Holy crap, the O-Line and receivers are blocking like mad men. Brown with great vision.  Bears back up by 4. 

If we keep running the ball we will win this game. It allows Caleb to play action like the throw to Loveland. Now if we can get a stop in their passing game. 

Really hope Monangai isn't hurt. Looked like they were looking at his foot/ankle on the bench. If he doesn't come out, he's the one that scores that TD and has a chance to get 200 yards on the ground.

The Offense has over 400 total yards with 2 mins left in the 3rd Quarter, over 200 in the air and 200 on the ground with a time of possession of 29 minutes to the Bengals 13. 

The Bears have a 58% conversion rate on 3rd Down.

IF we keep winning, none of his bad decisions will matter. 

Gar-Jon has played well for only a couple of practices.  5 tackles-1 tackle for loss- 1 sack and 2 pressures. 

AUSTIN BOOKER IS BACK!
