Haven’t seen much of that game but my Packer neighbors are texting things like ‘the refs suck’ and ‘well sh*t’ so I took that as a good omen.

They are talking about three plays. You dont lose 39-22 and have it come down to three penalizes.

That cheap shot on Kyler Murray’s head should merit a suspension

That wasn’t perfect and plenty to clean up - but talk about a great start of the season!

What a crazy game. Started off like a disaster, but they hung in and Carolina just couldn't keep up with their explosiveness on offense. When the run game and pass game is that in sync, the Bears will be a very difficult team to beat. Caleb looked great minus 2 poor throws (Kmet and Loveland). He looked noticeably quicker with his decision making, and I loved how he didn't avoid taking off with it himself. Sometimes he needlessly inhibits his own ability to generate yardage when he passes up scramble opportunities...

The receivers finally made difficult catches and helped out their quarterback, for once.

Defensively, they are horrendous. It's going to be an issue all year. Bryce Young had all day to throw. The defensive tackles, for some reason, were creating a massive hole in the middle by rushing the outside shoulder of both guards. Young killed them on second reaction plays. Anytime he broke the pocket, the Bears DB's couldn't cover anybody.

If there is one bright spot on defense, it's that both rookies look very good.

All in all, a much needed win to start the season with some tough games coming up. The Bears need to do a better job in their divisional games compared to last year. Next week will be another good test for the offense to prove they are legit.

Crazy game. 8 TDs, 2 per quarter. Caleb with a career high 94.9 QBR, 72.4% Comp (5th best}.

Another game with 2x 100 Yard Rushers.

Carolina was a top 15 defense last year and added some more players like Lloyd who was everywhere.

59 pts was the most pts allowed in Panthers history.

The defense made adjustments and only allowed 7 pts from 2:45 left in the 2nd quarter to 2:15 in the 4th, basically a half of play.

12 penalties was crazy. Way too many questionable calls, but still too many overall. If they scored 59 with 12 penalties on the road against a top 15 defense, they are going to be a scary team.

59 pts and Loveland without a catch was not on my bingo card.

My wife’s favorite player and I heard all about it. Lol.

Question: was it me or did the oline seem to lose control of the defensive rush? Was watching Kmet in an interview where he insisted Caleb is a ‘pocket passer’ but is also a dual threat with his legs. I’d agree about the elusive part but I haven’t seen him do a lot of pocket work, especially not yesterday. I get there are some designed rollouts but a lot of the time Caleb is spending his time juking and spinning away from defensive pursuit. Is the line not doing its job, is Caleb too impatient or ???
