I'm just surprised I didn't hear Micah Parsons' number even once today, he's the central part of the whole Cowboys defense...*checks notes*...ahh, I see there are owners worse than the McCaskeys.

Jerry has 'dem Al Davis vibes goin' on.

A few years ago the Bears/Cowboys comp post Jimmy Johnson era were extremely similar. The end of the Nagy and Eberflus eras basically ruined that comp but all the talk of Chicago’s ownership situation sucking with Jerry regularly getting lauded based on team valuation rather than on field success never really made since to me. The difference has been they had Dak and Chicago did not. Caleb could quickly eclipse that level

I don’t have a problem letting Monty go. I do have a problem following that up with signing a lesser RB to a bigger contract 

 

it made little sense at the time and has never looked like a good move since 

This. And you really need two guys that rotate and complement each other. The Bears currently have neither. Swift is a good 3rd down back. 

Monty wanted out and you can't blame him, but I also didn't want them breaking the bank to keep him. He wasn't good enough for a big contract. There have been plenty of options to improve the RB room and it's been ignored or poor choices made.

The line is improving, I do think we'll start to see an uptick in the running game.  How much is limited by Swift not being all that good.

Dallas is going to score 1,000 points against this defense.

Eberflus will get to walk off the field a winner.  PUKE

Happy to be wrong, go Bears!

There’s got to be a few photos of Flus walking off the field in shame.

I went to the game and it was a fun one to go to. A lot of Cowboys fans to be expected. I would say about 25%. No issues that I saw compared to when the Packers come to town.  It was funny to see their mass exodus around the time of the second Edmunds interception.

It was funny though, one Cowboy fan couldn't believe they lost to the winless Bears lol. Thinking to myself "Dude you just went to OT at home with the corpse of Russell Wilson"

A lot of stats being thrown out, but in a larger sample size (last 10 games), Caleb has thrown for 2,240 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, along with 280 rushing yards and another TD.

After today is over, he will have thrown three picks in the last calendar year. Obviously some of that is luck and there is a lot to be desired in terms of overall accuracy, but this unfortunately has to be one of the best 10 game stretches of QB play the Bears have had in a while.

[Brian707]

Yesterday it was the first time in 352 days the Bears won a home game. I think that was the Carolina game that until yesterday was perhaps Caleb's best game.
