Bears Week 5: @GB Sunday at noon on Fox

[Irrelevant Dude]

Packers should have thrown it into the end zone there.  We deserved it.

There are probably Packers fans upset that LaFleur took the high road after the game was out of reach.

[Tryptamine]

So for 2027. The Bears desperately need a CB, even more than a DE at this point.

24 carries for 81 yards against the Packers defense just can’t happen

Can't wait to hear Ben's explanation of this one! 😅

When they stack the box, daring Bagent to beat them and he can't beat them, I don't really blame that on the running game. 

[Soul]

At least we can dispense with Bagent being a solid backup. That arm is a fatal flaw. Dude can’t throw.

Neither do I, we all knew they were going to sell out to stop the run, so did Ben.  Bagent isn't capable of taking advantage of the opportunities.

Not having Monangai hurt too but primarily it was Bagent having a noodle arm.

The arm is actually something you can work around. What you can't work around is a guy with a noodle arm who still tries to make throws that only guys with Caleb level arm strength should be making. It's likely he's completely oblivious to the fact he has a weak arm.

Yeah, the dreams of dealing him for anything of value are definitely dead.

[Tryptamine]

Unless his leg has fallen off entirely, Caleb needs to make the start next week.

The coaches can’t be afraid to tell him the truth of where he stands as a passer. If he’s oblivious that’s a problem with him but also the coaching.

[gflore34]

The cherry on top will be the Brewers winning in the most Brewers-like fashion tonight.  Some combination of bunt/seeing-eye GB single, stolen base, passed ball will lead to the winning run.

They didn't run enough, still believe the Bears could have worn them down no matter how many guys they committed to stopping the run.

Hamp and OB are so pacifying after a loss like that. I can overreact plenty and know that I won’t overreact as much as they do

I think both Bagent and the Bears now realize he sucks

[NorthsideAvenger]

Of course the Packers get their crap together against the Bears. Now watch the Packers wet the bed against the Cowboys next week. 

 

[gflore34]

So sick of this BS, last time I have any faith the Bears are going to beat the Packers.  Even though it appears they may have the better team, Ben Johnson has to prove it by actually beating them.

[gflore34]

If Caleb can't go next week, Bagent/Keenum notwithstanding, one guy who should not be playing is Jaylon Johnson.   Don't know if he's injured, whatever, he's super slow, there's got to be someone from off the street, practice squad who can actually move.

They should post a placard with his name on the bench.

I understand coming out of college Johnson wasn't the fastest DB, appears he's lost several steps, went from merely slow to super slow.

Also start to get the other receivers Walker, Thomas more snaps in place of Odunze.  For someone, who's was great in college, he's been a major disappointment. And, it's not like baseball, receivers who were great in college have translated that success to the NFL on many, many occasions.

If you would have told me in Caleb's absence the Bears would go 2-1, I would be pretty happy. 

Just sucks the loss was vs the Packers
