    Did not understand the use of Gibbs in few spots, on consecutive short yardage plays Campbell runs Gibbs between the tackle and guard. First on the left side, followed up by the same on the right, both for no-gains. Haven't watched much of the Lions however, Gibbs has never struck me as a short/tough yardage type of back. Isn't it about getting Gibbs to edge, utilizing his speed? Thought Montgomery was more the power back? So what if it makes the Lions more predictable, isn't Campbell all about man vs. man, macho we're going to impose our will, blah, blah, blah?

    To me, the Bears are playing with house money, no expected them win 8 of 11. The most important things are happening - Ben is a legit HC, Caleb and the offense are improving - the winning now is a bonus. Off season will be mainly spent on improving the defense, something that is far easier to fix than getting you HC and QB correct. We've seen no where near the best from Caleb, that's coming in 2026.

    Believe A&M-Texas to be the best of Friday' games, go Aggies.

    We can give Poles credit for realizing/knowing Young did not have the physical traits to succeed in the NFL. He's horsefeathered quite a few things, he didn't commit a massive horsefeathers up by drafting Young. I remember seeing idiots on ESPN or maybe, it was, GMFB, saying Poles should trade Fields and draft Young. I believe drafting Young was never a thought in Poles' mind, good. In watching some of last night' game I honestly don't know how Young is able see well enough to complete any passes. A view from behind the LOS was shown on the INT in the end zone, when you see that, the INT makes perfect sense.

    Just hilarious reading about the Bears on other boards. Refuse to admit Caleb' improving, they've a legit HC and are ahead of schedule. Cannot come to grips that the Bears finally appear to have the QB and HC figured out. I think nearly all of us expected the Bears to be an improving team winning 7 or so games this season with the arrow trending up. Caleb and Ben are just getting started.

    Watched Vikings - Packers highlights and wow, McCarthy looked awful. There was some Justin Fields like stuff there, holding on to the ball, bewilderment, a weird ass INT. For good measure sprinkle in another special teams horsefeathers up and there you have it.

    I saw that, at the very least, Wright is able to knock the ball down, he was right there, either way the pass wasn't going to get completed.
  8. gflore34
    Totally agree, he's probably among the best, if not the best. Guess, what I meant to say, is fearing this or that defensive player is the old way of being a Bears fan. These Bears are trending towards a legitimately good offense, QB and HC, I'm done with fearing this or that team.

    Could be very tough. Then again if the Bears are able to effectively run and Caleb' playing on schedule I really don't care about Garrett. We're getting closer and closer to the Bears offense being the aspect teams have to plan for and be concerned with. Or, to put it another way, we're getting closer to the point where fans don't have to fear this or that defensive player because, the Bears are going to move the ball and score regardless.

    I was confident Loveland would come around, he's really horsefeathers good. Watching mainly Big Ten football, I knew both he and Warren were very good. All this talk of Loveland being a bust or a wasted pick was and is nonsense. I really like that he's an impossible cover for LB's and even some DB's. Laughed out loud yesterday when I saw the Steelers trying to cover him with Herbig, or maybe it was Watt. Did they really think that was going to be effective?

    Cowboys just tied the Eagles, Eagles are not head and shoulders above the rest of the NFL. They, like every other team, are beat-able.
  12. gflore34
    We saw glimpses today, when Caleb' is on schedule he and the Bears are unstoppable. If Caleb can increase his consistency with playing on schedule I don't care how good the Eagles defense is, they won't stop the Bears. Which means the Bears will keep it more than competitive.
  13. gflore34
    DJ deserved the penalty for tossing the ball at the defender, no argument whatsoever. What I'd like to know is why both defenders hitting him really close to out of bounds and continuing on well out of bounds was okay.
  14. gflore34
    Bears are clearly the better team, if not for a questionable PI it would have been a little easier. The last series for the Bears Odunze was tripped up why wasn't that PI?

    Complete embarrassment on that side of the ball for the Illini.
  16. gflore34
    And in every scrum the Bears should pull the ball out, because, apparently, whether the ball carrier is down or not, it's a fumble.
  17. gflore34
    That's true, Wisconsin has a legitimately good defense. Offensively they're pathetic and the Illini managed to make them look good.
  18. gflore34
    Probably won't matter but, all the Steelers are going to do is run the ball. Maybe, knowing what's coming will help the defense in getting a stop.
  19. gflore34
    Bears will march right down and either tie the game or get a FG. While not as bad as the Bears, Steelers defense isn't all that good.
  20. gflore34
    Just how bad is this Bears defense, that a team with exactly one play beyond the line of scrimmage marches down the field and scores?
  21. gflore34
    Totally agree regarding the state of the program. Happened to be watching ESPN when the playoff rankings were being shown and was shocked to see the Illini at 21. After the Indiana game I thought them completely removed from the national dialog.
  22. gflore34
    Illini at 21? I'll take it, think they've a real good chance to finish 9-3 with a decent bowl bid.
  23. gflore34
    He was in on some snaps, in some of the film review he breaks wide open down the field. Maybe, if Caleb steps up in the pocket, it could have been there however, I do not blame Caleb for not targeting him.
  24. gflore34
    Caleb' at a 59.7% (194-325) completion rate, conservatively, over the last two weeks alone, you can add probably upwards of 10 balls that should have been caught. Adding those 10 puts him at 62.7 with, at least one more TD. It'd be really nice if Caleb' receivers would stop dropping balls and help out with a tough catch or two.
  25. gflore34
    As much as I loathe the Vikings, I agree, McCarthy deserves more time, Caleb' far from a finished product, McCarthy' even further away. I'd like to see McCarthy end up being a bust, I also know better. McConnell, while slightly overrated, is still a very good coach and will improve McCarthy' game, to what extent, we'll see. On a side note I have a deep seated hatred for McCarthy, well not so much him as the media' coverage of him as compared to Caleb. There's an extreme double standard with hints of racism.
