  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Accuracy is worthless when every legit FG attempt has to be 50 yards and in.
  10. Me neither, he's hit well at every level, I'd like him to get another chance.
  11. 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.
  12. No "get well" game for the Ravens, I'm fine with a competitive loss.
  13. 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.
  14. Watched A&M a few times, really like them, very good team, hoping with you.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Everyone' golden boy isn't exactly tearing it up against a sub-par Cowboys defense today. By the way.
  20. What gets me is the Saints, on the second TD, did literally the same thing with far more contact by the Saints receiver.
  21. Conservatively he should have had 3-5 more completions if not for drops and Saints digging the balls out.
  22. horsefeathers play by the Bears. But, where the offensive PI on that play or multiple obvious holds?
  23. I see the trend of bad officiating benefiting the Bears' opponent is continuing. And how early did the right side of the Saints' line start on that last play? Did it appear to anyone else they started a tad early?
  24. You're correct, the amazing part or aspect is it's not even close.
  25. What about Judge? He's arguably better than Ohtani - with the bat.
