Youd think, but if Bagent fully healthy and has a full week of practice,  I think he'll get the start. 

We should just be happy we got this win from Case tonight and not press our luck lol

It would be pressing our luck NOT to start Keenum

I'm not going to say for sure Hurts got concussed from that sideline hit, but he was a different player in the second half.

Has the locker room speech been posted?

What a cool game. Football is good again.

this game cements to me that Ben Johnson is a football genius. The man just gets offense.

I had very little hopes for this game so I thank the Bears and Case Keenum for proving me wrong as I an enjoying my plate of crow.

Bears have had 2 20+ point victories from 24-25. They have 2 in the first 3 weeks and against superior competition.

I don't think this was called as a late hit. He launched at a QB that was giving himself up out of bounds. I don't want defenders taking free shots like that against Caleb, so I'm going to have to disagree that this shouldn't have been called.

Such an awesome wife. Ignoring that I have 8 tv's on my wall in the bar, last night was our 23rd anniversary and we went to Freddy's Steakburgers and came home to watch the Bears game. We had a POA meeting at 2pm on Sunday, so I paused all 8 tv's during the noon games for 3 hours and came home and continued my football Sunday as usual.

We will do something nicer tonight (before the Cubs and Blackhawks games), but Monday is slim pickings in these parts, so don't laugh too loud at "Freddy's" as our special meal. Haha. Games tonight don't start until 9pm, so I have more time to enjoy a meal and my wife tonight.

What a game. WOW! Case is going to be in the running for offensive player of the week. Probably going to Bijan, but good on him and Ben for coming up with a great offensive game plan.

1st and inches at the goal line? Kmet lines up behind center and let Loveland and Rousch help push him in the end zone against the team that invented the tush push. It was a no brainer. Hated that they lined up in shotgun first and goal there.

Guys keenum isn't  gonna start next week.  He's gonna be hurting from this one, and there's no way he's gonna be able to make multiple starts in a row.  Just enjoy what last night was.  A damn miracle.  It's like Rizzo pitching.  Let Keenum enjoy his 0.00 ERA.

People who are a lot smarter than me do shotgun from inside the 1 yard line. But I’ll never be able to understand voluntarily giving up 3 yards from the get go. Especially when it’s a run. Double especially when you have a good OLine.

It gets the ball to the back quicker than under center and helps them see the field better.

Hurts was sprinting towards the first down marker. I didn’t see him giving himself up.

[gflore34]

Bagent, after being a full participant in this week's practice, should definitely start vs. the Jets, etc.  I'd like to see Odunze start playing like the 1st round, top ten pick he was, he was really good at Washington.  I suspect it's there for him, just have to bring all the time.

Ben was right: Keenum has been a baller from the day he was born

It wasn’t a launch. Jackson didn’t leave his feet. I’m not surprised it was called a penalty because of the protections quarterbacks receive, but Jackson played that right. We’ve seen guys (Mahomes) fake towards out of bounds and turn back into the field of play enough times that it can’t be considered giving yourself up just to be running toward the sideline.

Caleb has done that also

Replays showed Hurts was still in bounds when contact was initiated.  I'm all for objectively protecting QB's, for years that hasn't been true when it came to Bears' QB's.

Caleb with his shirt off in a Bears robe is something

Listen, in my opinion, Jackson’s hit was a clean hit, he led with his shoulder, he didn’t even make contact with Hurts’s head, and Hurts was still (barely) in bounds when he got hit.

but I also knew without a doubt it would draw a penalty because it looked so violent when it happened and he’s a QB and that’s how they legislate the game now. And as the poster above said: if you saw an opposing player lay that hit on Caleb, would you want a flag? Yes. I think I would. 
 

still glad DeMarco Jackson laid the hit because Hurts was clearly not the game guy afterwards. 

[gflore34]

Missing old man lacrosse was definitely worth it!!!!!  Although, it was awesome weather last night, probably going to be cold as horsefeathers next Monday night.

Yeah this is kind of where I’m at, I’m not really surprised it was a flag. QBs get that protection. But if it was a late hit it was late by a couple toes. I wouldn’t really want Jackson approaching that any differently.
