2026 Bears Week 1, @Carolina Sunday 1pm on FOX

JJ Watt absolutely shredded them for that. Those scores are absolutely worthless at this point. -
I would argue his game management is almost as bad as Eberflus and that's something that matters A LOT in the NFL when almost every game is close. They've lost 6 in a row and had a 2 score lead in the second half of four of those games. That's something you can't ignore.

Did you even look at the standings or how the playoffs work before you wrote this?

He also got bailed out by a bogus roughing the passer penalty that would have turned into a 4th down and a phantom hold in the end zone on an interception, so he was far from perfect yesterday and as others have mentioned, not nearly as mobile as Young so the Bears have a better shot at getting to him with the pass rush. And that's before we even get to the 2 short fields they got at the end of the game to put things out of reach.

2026 Bears Week 1, @Carolina Sunday 1pm on FOX

They were trying to be cute and didn't execute. Just kick it to the 1 yard line and let your guys go make a tackle if you can't execute the dirty kickoff consistently. It's not worth the extra 10-15 yards of field position with a defense this bad. -
There were so many free runners in the middle downfield for the Packers yesterday. I'll be surprised if the Vikings take the same tact against the Bears with their better offensive line and more weapons.

That was very noticeable watching live. I was glad to see Walker rewarded for playing his ass off both blocking and on ST. -

I feel like one thing they were awful at yesterday, tackling, is pretty fixable with more reps. Guys play so little in preseason that wrapping up runners going full speed is an adjustment and I can't imagine that continues to be as big of an issue as it was yesterday. The rest, I'm not so optimistic about. -
Even as a Bears fan, I'll freely admit they got screwed at least 3 times by the refs. The roughing the QB penalty, the phantom hold in the end zone on the interception, and the non-call on the false start on the 2 point conversion were all badly missed calls.
-
I mean, we knew this already. Someone here (Jason maybe? I don't recall) documented that his arm slot is down a couple degrees from last year and he's not getting the same arm side run on his FB that he did last year and it's making everything less effective.
-
I'm not and it made me money because I bet the under on passing yards for him last night.
-
How bad was Moreland on defense in 1986 that he had an OPS over .700 and was still negative?
-
Ohtani's body is breaking down already. No way he ever does 50/50 again.
-
I haven't read the whole game thread and I'm sure it was dissected ad nauseum during the game, but I was in the stands and was shocked to see Boyd come out for the 8th and then shocked again to see that he wasn't pulled after a not particularly competitive walk to the leadoff hitter. I thought it was reasonable to give him the first guy in the 8th because of the lefty lefty matchup and I could see a righty warming up in the pen, but once that walk happens, he absolutely had no business still being in the game.
-
That's pretty much exactly what I proposed earlier.......
-
Stephenson HR was on a 91.1 mph pitch Myers was on a 90.9 mph pitch Looks like the others were on off speed pitches
-
It dropped significantly throughout the start if I recall correctly. The announcers even commented on it early and then later he was sitting more 91 and getting shelled.
-
Sure, but his performances are 2 sides of a coin and it's pretty easy to tell which one you're getting just based on velocity alone in each start. He's got the talent to give you 7 shutout innings but he can also get shelled and give up a half dozen gopher balls in 3 innings if he's not right.
-
Shota is my real concern and if you can get 4 innings from him and then 4 from Civale, I'd call that a win. Especially if you can tell him ahead of time to air it out since we know his success is so dependent on that extra tick of velo. Boyd is generally fine unless his location is way off and he's missing badly arm side. Peterson is what he is, you're going to get some solid outings and some clunkers like you do with almost any 5th starter out there.
-
Man, they're pretty optimistic about what they think they can charge for group/suite tickets. I also left this message for them at the end.

I know this has been a topic of discussion, so here’s Passan’s take:

Take the AI slop somewhere else.

This is just dumb. You have 2 starters in Holmes and Gausman who are likely to give you excellent starts in the playoffs, you have a top 3 offense and the top defense in baseball, all they have to do is cobble together a functioning bullpen from guys who have demonstrated they can be very good in the recent past. Are they the favorites to win it all or even get to the WS? No, definitely not, but thinking this team is dead in the water is believing that the 10 game losing streak in May is who they are. I hate losing to the Brewers as much as the next guy, but for all their success since 2018, what exactly do they have to show for it? The Cubs almost took them out in the DS last year with less pitching than they have now.
