Just curious did it appear Higgins pushed the defender away on those TD catches?
-
Loveland' GW TD was the kind of nonsense BS we've seen happen to the Bears over and over. Nice the shoe was on the other foot for a horsefeathers change.
-
I knew Caleb would give the Bears, at least, a chance at a GW FG. Man, what a nice contrast to what we've experienced from past Bears' QB's.
-
They were holding Sweat and Dexter all horsefeathers day, wasn't even close, didn't face the pressure and with Chase/Higgins, of course, a big day.
-
44 points from Caleb today, that's not bad.* *According to CBS Sports.
-
Ha, ha, no DPI to bail you out now Bengals and Flacco, suck it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
No
-
They're definitely going to get screwed by bad officiating AGAIN.
-
Bears are moving the ball, they'll score some points in the second half. Flacco is way overdue for an INT.
-
Definitely a failure by Jed in the off season, at the deadline, for the Cubs, teams were putting exorbitantly high prices on any pitcher of substance.
-
Gausman isn't exactly a scrub, it's entirely possible he shuts down the Dodgers and the Blue Jays win.
-
Main thing with Caleb is I do not believe the game is too fast for him, there isn't a processing problem such as with Justin and Mitch. Everything else is fixable, will take some time and progress will be up and down but, it's fixable. If there was processing problems with Caleb, Ben wouldn't have picked the Bears.
-
This doom bonery completely ignores what happens when he does play on schedule and in rhythm. When seen flashes of it in every game, Caleb and the offense are lethal during those flashes. Just need those flashes to become the norm rather than flashes.
-
This and playing on time, trusting the process, all of the good QB's play on time and trust the process. When necessary some of them can resort to high school/sandlot ball and those are the plays everyone remembers but, on most plays, it's trusting the process and executing. Although infrequently, we've seen Caleb play on time and trust the process, when it has occurred they're pretty hard to stop.
-
Of course, I should have clarified, solely with the bat I'd take Judge.
-
I'd still take Judge. Has anyone looked at the numbers he put up? They make Ohtani' look pedestrian and that's saying something.
-
Whether Maye, Daniels or whomever is better than Caleb is irrelevant. The question is will Caleb improve?
-
Yeah, it's getting really tiresome. All we can do is look to next week, there's no reason not expect an improved offensive performance. Bears will be facing another terrible defense, there has got be an uptick in the offense, no excuses at all.
-
I'm certain Ben isn't liking some things either though, as you said, he knows far more than any of us about what's not working and why.

Cubs Expected To Target Dylan Cease This Offseason

Isn't there clear need for pitching with swing and miss stuff? Even, if you will, a gaping hole at pitching with regards to swing and miss stuff? -
I was also thinking about Ben' goal of a 70% completion percentage for Caleb which suggests if he plays on time, at least, 70% of time, his first reads will be open. Trust the process and do it.
-
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.
