[UK]

I did forget about the injury to Gardner - Johnson which given their depth is a huge injury.

How serious is his injury?

Well, DJ has gone from the dog house to damn near a legend in 2 weeks.  I’ll take the DJ spike on that graph.

Now we know that Rome was hurting his production. Maybe Caleb gets more comfortable with DJ after what we’ve seen these last 2 weeks.

It looked bad on the TD to Dobbs. I can't recall seeing him out there again.

[Tryptamine]

3400 passing yards and a 23/6 TD/INT ratio, but he's still viewed as bad by so many.

I’ve wondered the same but I assume just an opportunity to recognize other guys on 53-man roster and send a message of “it takes every one of us”. 

I have a feeling Caleb will be getting plenty of love from the national media this week.

Judging by this morning’s banter, you are correct.

Yes BJ could give Caleb the game ball, but Caleb’s part of the team’s leadership as QB.  It’s better to recognize everyone else.  To even be a franchise QB it’s a given that he makes the big plays.

Good. Let them hate. He’ll continue stacking dubs 

[Derwood]

I thought that Zaccheus drop was the end of the rally

It appears the Bears escaped any more serious injuries following the game.

Definitely need Odunze and Burden vs SF. SF defense isn't great but still...

Hopefully Johnson learned his lesson on 4th down without any damage.

 

Winning last night probably buys both of those guys another week of rest which is huge

He didn’t come back in. And agreed. I’m afraid we may have seen the last of him this year.

Any highlight clips from the bears radio side of things?

This link has the final 30 minutes or so of the radio call synced with the game. Very fun.

I don’t hate him with a burning passion like I might for other guys with a case of the drops, but man… he really has a knack for dropping crucial passes doesn’t he

He’s a solid WR4 and that’s it. Has a -EPA when targeted too. They need Burden back badly let alone Rome.

[Soul]

Is Rome done or will he be back?  I heard he might be shut down.

“At the end of the day, it’s EF the packers always” - DJ Moore immediately after the game on field interview

 

yes DJ, EF the packers always

As far as I know he hasn’t officially been shut down. After last week’s game, Ben said “all options are on the table,” which presumably includes shutting him down, but I think that’s the most substantive update we’ve gotten.

I think there's a real good chance he's shut down with the hope he'll be ready for the playoffs.

One more win and we win the north holy hell what a season. Better then I could have imagined

Ben Johnson confirmed a knee injury in his postgame comments, but nothing more beyond that.

I would have laughed at anyone who predicted this level of success.

I'm actually rooting for the old man today, wouldn't be a bit surprising if Rodgers pulls one out of his ass today.  Or, he could look and play like an old man, which, also, wouldn't be surprising.  Plus, I believe Willis had the game of his life last night, no way he plays as well vs. the Ravens next week.  Ravens will win next week.

Man, this type of stuff doesn't happen to us......and against THIS team?

Bears are the ones who's QB gets knocked out of the game early.

Bears are the ones that just miss a sack and gives up the blown coverage TD.

Bears are the ones that grab defeat from the jaws of victory.

Johnson, Vrabel and Cohen. Voters are going to have an interesting debate for COY.
