Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 16, 2025 Report Share Posted November 16, 2025 Ben Johnson with one of the worst end of half decisions I've ever seen. What in the literal hell was he trying to do there?? Just run the ball 3 times and force MIN to burn all their timeouts! Instead, he throws the ball, calls a timeout on 3rd and 1 on their own side of the field, and then Caleb overthrows another open receiver deep down field on the next play, giving MIN a shot to get the ball again with all their timeouts. He almost got burned again like in the first game. 7/16 for the QB that half. Totally inexcusable performance by Caleb. Luckily, McCarthy has been even worse, but the offense is not taking advantage of opportunities. Another big opportunity to start the 2nd half with the ball. They have to push this to two scores to force KOC to abandon the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted November 16, 2025 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2025 There has been a free edge rusher on every play, run or pass. The Bears have to counter that and make them pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 16, 2025 Report Share Posted November 16, 2025 Referees miss a blatant facemask on 3rd down that would have continued the drive. Yet another game where the Bears get screwed by the officiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50england50 Posted November 16, 2025 Report Share Posted November 16, 2025 Can anyone tell me why the league hates the Bears. Officiating is a joke. The official is looking right at the face mask and doesn't’t call it. Why do we always play against an extra player? We had a roughing the passer call in the first half which was less than several late hits on Caleb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted November 16, 2025 Report Share Posted November 16, 2025 I would like to have a special teams coverage unit that can just even be average? Gotta figure Hightower will be replaced before next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally changes the game, that would've been an automatic first down and could've led to a TD, burnt more clock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might help if there were more quick dumps underneath. A fair number of the pass attempts appear to be of the long range variety. Is he missing the reads? If all it takes to rattle him is a rush then don’t think the remaining defenses on the schedule won’t be deploying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet they call penalties on the Bears that are not even there, yet miss these. Luckily Santos didn't miss the FG, because that could've been even worse.

Now Burden has turned into Oz, two drops today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are blitzing, and playing a lot of man, and the short routes arent open a lot. The Vikings are pressuring Caleb and leaving the deep throws one on one, betting that Calebs inaccuracy on the long ball wont hurt them, which has been true for a lot of the day. How to beat it? Run it down their throats and then throw on play action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
