1. Didn’t watch.

2. Was Caleb inaccurate again on simple passes?

3. Who all had drops?

4. Winning like this is not normally a sustainable plan. But is it just good enough? Or are the Bears getting breaks? It seems the breaks are even, if not against the Bears slightly. So, is it actually sustainable this year? Are the Bears actually better than we realize considering the injuries, officiating imbalance, and self-inflicted mistakes?

5. This feels like the Lovie era. This team will win just enough to threaten or make the playoffs, get thumped, and have a draft pick in the teens. Unless you hit a home run on that teen draft pick, it’s a sure fire recipe for perpetual 10-7 or 9-8 seasons with the same ending.

I don’t really know the answer but I don’t recall many games where Lovies offense scored 31 pts.

Can we all get together and do a go fund me for Jason so he can buy a TV?

It's another win, but the quarterback continues to be awful. They are going to get killed in the rest of these games if Caleb continues to throw it like Tim Tebow.

I think its time to sit back and enjoy the season. We can play bad and do enough to win the game. I have no problem with that. The defense has 5 starters missing and did enough to win. I applaud that. Caleb can play better and that will be dangerous when we get there.

Pretending I didn't keep tabs on the game and a buddy called me to recap.  If anyone would have told me we lost the TOP, plays, yardage and penalty stats, I would say we lost.  If they also told me, we didn't win the turnover battle and our opponent scored a defensive touchdown, I would say we got beat by double digits.

Instead we beat our first team with a winning record.  And y'all know the injury list.  Great win, Jason!  Not your Lovie Bears...

😄😄

I refuse to buy the combination of Sunday ticket, paramount, Disney, Jimmy Joe’s Game of the Week, and YouTube TV. Just local games for me.

In the GB - MIN game, these were the stats for the starting QBs:

Love 14-21, 139 yds, 1 sacks
McCarthy 12-19, 87 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 5 sacks

Combined 26-40, 226 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 6 sacks. I think most want perfection and it's just not there yet, buf if Caleb had a game like either of these guys, then I would have some concerns. Not when he puts up over 250 yards and 3 TDs in a win.

The Bears are 8-1 in their last 9 weeks.
