    I don't love that this was the 4th week in a row that Caleb had a <60% completion percentage. His accuracy was off all game, and he made perhaps the worst play of his season on the fumble - just a completely unnecessary blunder which showed a complete lack of awareness of the play and game state. You don't need to hold onto the ball for 7 seconds backed up in your own end zone, and you definitely want to do that in a tied game. He avoided anything of the same scale for the rest of the game, but it's something that loses games. You can't do that. I still think Caleb's That Dude, and I still think he's making progress, but I want to see more of it cleaned up. There were 4-5 throws (minimum) where he completely missed a dude that was wide open. You're not gonna make every open throw. But you gotta minimize these. You can't keep missing 15-20 yard plays. You'll lose games against better teams.

    If it were possible to simply take a forfeit instead of playing as a super banged up team on the road against the best team in the league, would it make sense for the Bears to do that? Get a legitimate 2 weeks off, get Jaylon and Kyler back, give everyone a rest, etc. No football team would ever do that of course, but I do wonder if it would be the "smart" thing to do. Maybe not, given how few games a team gets to play in a year and how, even with a low probability of success a win goes a loooong way to securing a playoff spot, but still. It makes one think.

    The Giants could easily be in the NFC playoff hunt if they weren't getting Matt Eberflusian results down the stretch. Are we sure he isn't involved with the team somehow? Brought in as a consultant maybe?

    Packers week is gonna be crazy

    One of the reasons why this one was especially tough: The running game was not working. Since the Bye they've run the ball super effectively, today they were 25 attempts for 99 yards but 21 of those were on Caleb scrambles and 15 on an end around. Swift was terrible. Though I don't hold the "fumble" against him. (bizarre officiating, that play shoudl have been blown dead like 4 seconds earlier). Run blocking in general wasn't where you want it.

    He's unplayable. They're going to have to let him play out the stretch but he currently does not appear to be an NFL player.

    damn, i hadn't checked teh score in a while and thought the Giants had the Lions but it looks like they're boned in OT right now That would have been a reallllllly nice one for us, what with the Vikings completely rolling over and letting the Packers keep pace

    Listen, the Eagles are gonna average 12 yards a carry against us and we’re likely gonna get shithoused but let me say this: this team is fun as hell and tough as hell. All credit to Ben Johnson for putting a team like this out there. (Never take a delay of game like that ever ever again dude)

    Thank god Mason Rudolph turned back into Mason Rudolph for a couple plays
  10. BigSlick
    Bears…. Win??
  11. BigSlick
    tory taylor continues to be unimpressive btw
  12. BigSlick
    well that was objectively worse than just running it 3 rtimes into the line
  13. BigSlick
    ugh UGH
  14. BigSlick
    we need to convert
  15. BigSlick
    DO NOT GIVE THEM THE BALL BACK
  16. BigSlick
    one play, just give us one play defense. i know how horsefeathered up you are, but please give us one play
  17. BigSlick
    i am also not punting here
  18. BigSlick
    i dont understand how you possibly sustain a delay of game there
  19. BigSlick
    HOW ARE YOU NOT SNAPPING THE BALL
  20. BigSlick
    man Swift has not been it today
  21. BigSlick
    catch the ball please
  22. BigSlick
    honestly with 2 turnovers and negative 5 linebackers, i'm like fine with this defense effort The Offense needs to go out there and win the game now
  23. BigSlick
    another linebacker is hurt lmao
  24. BigSlick
    it is crazy how bad this defense is the bright side is this drive is taking them a long time off the clock
  25. BigSlick
    i think nearly every team is mid-to-bad. well, except the Eagles who we're seeing next week lol
