    Should have gone for it in the fourth, with the way their offense was cooking they had a real good chance.

    Edwards, Edmunds and Johnson did not come back 100%, they're doing what they can, Jarrett had his knee scoped in the summer, no way he started 100% and certainly isn't healthier now. Read something about Sweat playing hurt for most of the season again. The tackling issues are very apparent, on numerous occasions yesterday they Gibbs or Montgomery strung out with more defenders than blockers and still couldn't limit their gains.

    I agree, just need to get this one.

    Illinois State vs. Montana State for the FCS Championship tonight. Illinois State has a receiver, Daniel Sobkowicz, he'll get some camp invites, an Adam Thielen, Cooper Kupp type, think he's taller than both of them, has a good chance to catch on somewhere. I'd like the Bears to take a look at him as a UDFA next camp.

    With an improving offense and a better defense I don't care how potentially tough or easy the schedule may be.

    So, come Saturday, it'll be a month since they had a three and out, that's really bad. If the Bears win the toss on Saturday they should take the ball, if not, they almost surely will be down by 3 or 7 on their first possession. That's been a big part of the problem with the Packers always playing from behind.

    Defense is too beat up and terrible for winning now to happen. They may get by the Packers and that'll be it, at some point the defense will need to make a stop and this current defense is incapable. Speaking of the defense, does anyone know the last time it forced a three and out? Was it the game against Cleveland?

    Win or lose the Bears have been playing with house money since they clinched a winning season. To be honest I'm more excited about 2026. Caleb and the offense, with this season under their belts, are going nuclear in 2026, I've no doubt. I believe the Bears will able to fix the defense and, at least, get it to an average level defense coupling it with an overpowering offense, that'll translate to double digit wins.

    Most definitely, Ben has fallen into some rookie mistakes, I believe he'll learn and come out better.
  10. gflore34
    I agree he's made some bad decisions and if you asked him, he'd probably agree. But, bad decisions becoming prevalent? That's a bit of an exaggeration, it's not like we're talking Matt Eberflus here.
  11. gflore34
    I was thinking along the same lines, part of a learning curve. When all is said and done I've no doubt Ben will be amongst the best Bears HC of all time.
  12. gflore34
    I'm rooting for the Ravens, not just to see Rodgers lose but, also, to disappoint his number one all time apologist and fan Collinsworth.
  13. gflore34
    Two things: 1. Get started on offense earlier 2. Don't trust this defense, I don't care the situation, this defense is never going to stop anyone. On several occasions Ben has shown way too much trust in them, it has to stop. Maybe, next season he can trust it.
  14. gflore34
    Don't know what network or the announcers for the Bears game next week. My only hope is it's not NBC/Tricio & Collinsworth, losing to the Packers would be bad enough. Losing to the Packers while listening to that horsefeathers hillbilly cream in his paints over the Packers would be worse.
  15. gflore34
    Eventually they're going to put together a full game vs. the Packers might as well be next week.
  16. gflore34
    That was the biggest letdown today, Lions are terrible on defense and the Bears couldn't do anything for a while. Once they figured it out, they marched down the field, Ben can't take a half+ to make adjustments. There's no reason they should come out flat next week.
  17. gflore34
    Maybe, still, the Packers are nowhere near as effective on offense as the Lions. That'll help.
  18. gflore34
    Game turned out to be meaningless, nevertheless, would have been nice to beat that beady-eyed meathead. Offense had some momentum, I definitely would have gone for it, never a good idea to gamble on this defense.
  19. gflore34
    I was going to post the same, took them 3+ plus quarters to score against that garbage.
  20. gflore34
    I call complete BS on this, sure, they'd probably lose but, the Bears OL >>>>>> Niners OL. The Bears would be more effective running the ball and Caleb won't be running scared all game.
  21. gflore34
    Without question the bug went around the defense, the Niners aren't speed merchants on offense and they looked super fast against the Bears. The Bears were a step or two slower than usual.
  22. gflore34
    I agree, in fact, from an IU standpoint, things get significantly tougher, Oregon, Miami and Ole Miss are far better teams than Alabama. All of them have a better balance on offense including one of the best RB in the country - Lacy and one the best WR - Toney, plus all the weapons on Oregon.
  23. gflore34
    Think people are going to be looking at Indiana - Oregon as the de facto National Championship game?
  24. gflore34
    I was thinking, if I had to chose between stuffing the run or rushing the passer, I'd go with stuffing the run. Rushing sets up everything for a successful offense, take away the rush and you'll get to the QB. In the off season, I'd rather they fix the run defense, do that and the other facets will improve.
  25. gflore34
    Pretty good win for the Illini, things are trending up the program.
