    Ben needs to adapt that strategy. It's just out of hand and so one sided, utterly ridiculous. Getting back to Caleb I wonder how many of the first reads are there that he's missing? Given most of teammates appear to be doing their jobs I'd say the first reads are available quite often. Probably 70-75% of the time all Caleb needs to do is one-two-three-plant throw, which is I guess, play on time. The few times he's done so, he's been very effective, don't know why he can't get back to playing on time.

    And, once again, I don't what it is about NFL officiating' inability or unwillingness to call roughing penalties when Bears' QB get blasted. I really want Ben Johnson to go ape horsefeathers crazy and tee-off on their next no-call. It's really getting ridiculous that defenders are allowed free reign on Bears' QB's while they get called for glancing the opposing QB's helmet. Does anyone know if there's some official process NFL teams use to point out bad officiating? If so, I'm certain the Bears are amongst the top contributors.

    Me neither, this isn't a case of the Bears "ruining" a QB, everything is in place for Caleb to succeed. He's not executing and there's no one to blame but himself. Ben Johnson appears to be a no-nonsense, will not sugar coat it type of guy, I'm certain in film review and practice he's been on Caleb' ass about his continued failure to execute.

    You're correct, guess I should have said Hoyer has never gone after the top FA.
  5. gflore34
    And Sasaki, I'm convinced the whole process of him being interested in the Cubs and other teams was a charade. I honestly don't know why the Cubs wasted their time with him.
  6. gflore34
    I know I wrote one of Cease/King will be a Cub but, I was just kidding myself. This front office has never seriously pursued what was considered the top FA, pitcher, etc., ever. It's always some second tier "fiscally responsible" target that's why I believe we can completely eliminate Cease or King from consideration. It's going to be a Shane Bieber type or types we'll see the Cubs sign.

    Looked at the interception again, didn't look as if Odunze was screened at the time of the interception. Would like to have seen what happened as broke his route, if I had to guess, I'd say there was probably all sorts of illegal contact. Which gave the defender time to under cut the throw. Or, most likely, the throw was late which is in keeping with the crap we got today from Caleb.

    Next week they'll be facing another not so good defense, from the looks of it, a really bad defense. I think it perfectly reasonable to expect a good game from Caleb next week.
  9. gflore34
    I'm willing to give him the rest of this season, if we don't see, at least, some hints at excellency or sustained good play. The clock will be ticking early next season, don't know if Ben' going to give him all of 2026 for it to finally click.

    Was that DPI on Caleb INT? Appeared Odunze was being picked and not given a chance to catch the ball, which is a penalty right?

    Bears didn't play well enough to win, garbage from Caleb again. Apparently, though only the Bears get called for roughing the passer - Caleb was definitely roughed - and only the Bears get called for offsides - Ravens were way offsides on the that last 3rd down.
  12. gflore34
    The Bears absolutely exploited the Ravens blitz on that series, they took advantage of their over aggressiveness and it was sweet. Past Bears' teams would have never adjusted and done such a thing.

    Accuracy is worthless when every legit FG attempt has to be 50 yards and in.
  14. gflore34
    Me neither, he's hit well at every level, I'd like him to get another chance.
  15. gflore34
    Same here with patience, it's a long non-linear process towards a good offense. Ben Johnson himself has said on multiple occasions he doesn't expect them to be at their best until December into January. That's at least 6 more games of up and down.
  16. gflore34
    No "get well" game for the Ravens, I'm fine with a competitive loss.
  17. gflore34
    Look no further than the Packers, grab some guy who's was about to go back to teaching or something of the like. He hits a 62 yard FG. Think it broke the Packers' franchise record, so yeah, these guys are out there.
  18. gflore34
    Watched A&M a few times, really like them, very good team, hoping with you.
  19. gflore34
    The offense as whole hasn't clicked yet, probably won't until game 12 or so, once it does. I don't if us Bears fans are going to able to handle it, having never seen such things before.
  20. gflore34
    Don't expect the Bears to win. I'll be satisfied if Caleb plays well, Bears score a horsefeathers ton of points in losing a competitive game. I was discouraged by Caleb' bad game as well. Ben Johnson has already mentioned on numerous occasions that he doesn't expect the Bears offense to be their best until December into January. I see no reason not to believe him and I'm willing to give him a chance before I write off Caleb.

    Benedet had some good work again, struggled at times with PP, was a monster in run blocking, saw him bury several Saints. There were a couple of run blocks were he pancaked multiple Saints, the initial block, then the next level. Don't look now but, Poles may have actually stumbled on to something.

    Save for some bad officiating the Bears blew out the Commanders, Cowboys are kicking their asses today. Up 41-22, going in for another TD, thought the Commanders were supposed to be good.
  23. gflore34
    Everyone' golden boy isn't exactly tearing it up against a sub-par Cowboys defense today. By the way.
  24. gflore34
    What gets me is the Saints, on the second TD, did literally the same thing with far more contact by the Saints receiver.
  25. gflore34
    Conservatively he should have had 3-5 more completions if not for drops and Saints digging the balls out.
