The TE was wide open if Caleb makes the throw right away. He waited too long.

Caleb doesn’t throw a high fade well in tight spaces. That play should never have been called. Ben got too clever as he often does.

[BigSlick]

Not a great game from anyone. Johnson bafflingly didn’t run the ball a lot to start the game. Defense got a couple clutch stops but not when it mattered. Caleb was brutal, then brilliant. We need him brilliant for 60 mins.

DJ was running underneath wide open. Caleb will regret that on film day

 

 

Doesnt matter in the end. It was an away game the Bears barely lost. Get GB in the 312 and.........

He’s an idiot.

I have no regrets from this game. Lamebroh is insanely loud in a tight game. We need a DT and DE who can put pressure on the opp QB. But even with out that, we are for real and honestly, likely headed for the playoffs

 

BEAR DOWN

[Soul]

Can someone please tell Caleb it’s OK to run for the 1st down when it’s there and you MUST have it?

Yeah, I think the Bears will pound them into submission, as they started to do in the second half, from the start next time.

[BigSlick]

At the end of the day, I really don’t feel too bad about this one. Caleb had a half where he was just awful, and they barely lose the game. Johnson had a blah game, calling wise. 
 

Defense is really not a super talented bunch and they still competed and got the ball back a number of times.

 

we definitely weren’t outclassed.

nah. He took a chance and learned what cold air does. I really dont have a problem with the play call, but I wish he hit DJ instead

It would have been close, but I think he had it

Why is it obvious to everyone but Ben why this wasn’t the strategy? That was a bad decision as was not getting into FG position on the GB 40 earlier in the game as was the final play call. Ben and Caleb can’t be this hot and cold.

1-3 in the Division.

[BigSlick]

We need pieces on this defense period when the guy is healthy is one of the best players we have.But he's never d*** healthy.

 

Pre game injury? Jfc.

Agree completely.  After the second half I'm pretty convinced they can man handle the Packers, Ben' not stupid, he'll see that and learn from his mistakes. 

[Banedon]

Bears can hold their head high after this game imo.  Yeah, plenty of mistakes but the Packers made plenty too.  ****** result but I feel like this is a small hurdle in what is still a special season.

[Derwood]

Gameplan was trash

[bukie]

Last call was solid. 4th and 1 with 14 seconds left, they need a TD. If they get the first there they'll have maybe 7 seconds left and there'll be 8 defenders in the end zone.

The play was there, Caleb tossed it a touch late and a touch underthrown.

As for why they let so much time come off the clock there, they wanted to make sure there wasn't any time left for the Packers after a score. Again, logic was there, what they were doing made sense.

he went for the win and threw up a pass that hits a hard cold air. I doubt Caleb has ever played in 10 degree weather. Hopefully, film day shows DJ on the under and **epiphany** thats a TD

Best ability is availability my guy.

 

Kyler gordon is a walking injury, great player, but who gives a f*** when you're never on the field?

Those are just way too many mistakes for a game of this magnitude. No way he should have been trusting Caleb in that position when your strength is rushing. Caleb only has a fastball and doesn’t normally have the touch for that throw.
