    Told you boys the game wasn’t over yet
  2. BigSlick
    Not a great game for the Oline or Johnson for that matter
  3. BigSlick
    Thanks a lot D

    I wish Caleb could just start here instead of taking a half to get here
  5. BigSlick
    Caleb is my dude.
  6. BigSlick
    Nahshon with another great play. Guys on a heater. well the best thing I can say is this half started well for us

    What is most upsetting about this game so far is that this is playing out like every Bears Packers game of the last 25 years. Bears offense does nothing except embarrass, Bears D is heroic but gives up daggers to the good Packers QB, we feel shame.
  8. BigSlick
    Hey boys, settle down. The game is not over.
  9. BigSlick
    There is that weird pop fly, can of corn ball. I don’t understand how that Isn’t picked off
  10. BigSlick
    Not even terribly mad at the defense. We have a stop and a pick already. Offense can’t suck so bad, Caleb can’t be this bad. angry at Ben Johnson for not running more early

    Its completely insane that they tried playing Jayden Daniels while 3-9 and dead in the water and he's coming off an injury. Just shut him down for the rest of a lost season. Unforgivable.

    What a season from hell of this dude. Starts off red hot, leads the consensus best team of the first half of the season, then starts slowing down, breaks his leg, tries to play through, and now it looks like he tore his Achilles AND the Colts are collapsing perhaps out of the playoffs entirely. its Bears-esque

    I'm not worried about our offense really. I think we'll be able to move the ball and score points. I'm more worried about our defense, which, even when healthy, cannot generate any consistent pressure and has had issues on and off all season stopping the run. They had their best overall game last week, but I'm concerned. And we may rag on him and find him baffling, but Jordan Love has the 3rd best QBR in the league. He's, annoying and infuriatingly, a very good QB.

    Yeah its certainly not rational but I feel the same way raw does about this game - we've won 9 of 10, been the beneficiary of some very favorable luck AND we just beat the defending champs like a drum in a game almost no one but Bears fans expected... for some reason it just feels hard to expect the Bears to keep going. That may be some learned helplessness and trauma against the Packers on my part, but its just how I feel. Funny thing that as much as we've been "lucky" with some things, we have by far the worst Penalty Yardage differential in the league (Bears have been penalized 287 yards more than their opponents, which is 62 yards worse than the next on the list, Denver) and there is no part of me that thinks thats entirely the Bears "fault". I hate it, and I want it to stop.
  15. BigSlick
    Correct!

    It brings me no pleasure to say DJ hasn’t been their best receiver for two years now Being short Odunze hurts, but they still have a lot of weapons on offense. Rome’s importance as Calebs security blanket has lessened in the last 6-7 weeks as Loveland and Burden have emerged more. But he’s still our best receiver.

    Here's one thing I find annoying and baffling and I just want to make sure I'm not insane and the only one seeing this: Does it not seem like Jordan Love throws the most amount of just prayer balls up in the air, balls that look like pop flies, that always end up in his receivers hands? I know he's not just lucky, because he keeps doing it, and he never gets picked off, but when I do watch the Packers or see highlights, I see passes that when they leave his hand I'm like "that is gonna be picked off" and no, it's a 50 yard completion on 4th down. This is probably a version of Cardinals Pixie Dust in my ruined, biased brain, but good lord man. Some of those 4th down completions against the Lions were just like, what? That shouldn't be complete! horsefeathers you!
  18. BigSlick
    Yeah a loss is pretty devastating for the Packers. Then they have to win at Soldier Field AND pick up a game on us, which is doable! But it’s a much, much more difficult position for them than the Bears if the Bears lose.
  19. BigSlick
    Good for nothing Cowboys. The only time in my life I root for you, never again!!
  20. BigSlick
    Here's what I'll say about Caleb and the passing game: the receivers are getting open and Caleb is finding them. He's not always hitting them with accurate passes, and they aren't always coming down with the ball, but the scheme is working, the guys are getting open, and Caleb isn't holding onto the ball too long (not anymore, anyway) or misreading the defenses. He just isn't always delivering an accurate ball, and/or the guys are falling down or dropping the pass. This is a huge, marked improvement from the last few guys we've had both at OC and at QB. We'd have just complete and total dysfunction. Mitch and Justin couldn't operate the offense at all, our OCs were simpletons, morons or overly ambitious and rigid. None of it worked in any consistent way. They're very close to just being an insane offense. They're already a good offense. Which is crazy for being less than a year together.

    I’d much prefer the Lions bring more or less knocked out of playoff contention
  22. BigSlick
    Meaningful, yes, not “if you win you stay at the #1 seed, if you lose you drop to the #7 or out of the playoffs completely” level, woof!
  23. BigSlick
    I hate how much is riding on this game. Can’t we have a low stress, not a game that flips our chances of the playoffs like 30% one way or the other on a win or loss? just fast forward to the Browns game please

    Football alliance ENDED with the Philadelphia Eagles, now DALLAS COWBOYS are my best friend

    I found the Super Bowl Shuffle doc one of the most pleasant completely-unnecessary-low-stakes-but-why-not kind of documentary you can have. It's really an excuse to just revel in some nostalgia about the era, and there's nothing wrong with that.
