Bears week 5 vs Panthers: Sunday noon on FOX

[Proven Veteran]

Wow.

[Derwood]

Damn, what a throw

[NotKyle]

*erases his "I'll give Caleb Williams a B for that half" post and starts over*

[We Got The Whole 9]

This feeling is totally foreign to me

[Derwood]

It's almost like we needed to give the kid a few games to get comfortable at the NFL level

[minnesotacubsfan]

fun

[Tryptamine]

I hate body tackles, use your damn arms

[cwood218]

I know Carolina has issues, but this is what you are suppose to do in these situations.

[bukie]

Brisker again prioritizing a hit over a tackle and gives up 20 free yards to put Caroline in FG range.

[NotKyle]

I was set to give Williams a B for that half until he put together an A+ two-minute drill. Williams has looked at his best in those situations all year, and he capped it off with his best play of the year.

So now I'll give him an A-. I *have* to ding him on putting two balls into defenders, especially the first rep of the game which was as bad as a bad rep can get and got bailed out by a great play by Allen.

I could nitpick a couple of other plays and throws, but there was so much more good than bad.

He benefitted from some easy throws for big yards early, but he also manufactured some easy situations for himself. I said for Fields' last two years here that his lack of command of the offense at the line was killing us and making OCs look worse than they were, and we're already seeing the opposite from Williams: he has impressive control of the offense at the line and is making Waldron look good. He looks like a veteran out there.

He had a couple of nice escapes from the pocket for first down. He had a really nice veteran rep on 3rd and 11.

Then he capped it off with an extremely impressive two-minute drill that was capped off with the best play of his career to date, an impressive read, execution and throw for a long touchdown.

This is obviously not as dominant as the Trubisky Bucs game or the Fields Broncos game, but I think it's pretty meaningful how much further ahead of schedule it is.

[Derwood]

11/15, 200 YDS, 2 TD in one half of football.

[NotKyle]

It's a big ask because we're gonna be running it out, but I really really want to find another 100 passing yards for Williams in the second half

And play against Carolina 

[NotKyle]

That was just a bad holding call. Ref saw the LB fall and assumed Swift pulled him down, but really it was just his own momentum.

(two more mid punts from Tory Taylor today)

It's supposedly crazy windy, which direction, I don't know.

[UMFan83]

Holy crap they are going empty all drive and just letting Caleb cook

I just spent 2 hours outside coaching my kids baseball game and it’s been brutally windy almost relentlessly all day

[UMFan83]

Of course. Get it to the 1 inch line and now a penalty brings it to the 15

[Tryptamine]

Pretty stupid by Kramer

[Rex Buckingham]

I know Carolina sucks, but I just want to point out that I dropped Swift from my fantasy team before the Rams game, and this week I dropped Caleb. 

Also, he is in complete control of this offense. It looks great. Wish we would have played Carolina earlier in the season, but I think this will help him take off

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pocket movement and a throwaway by a Bears QB?

[Tryptamine]

Come on Caleb, you have to get rid of that, you can't expect the lineman to keep in formation that long.

[Tryptamine]

Well that ended with a thud
