Oh my god they’re trying desperately to lose this game
-
Oh I guess we’re gonna lose this one
-
This is a true “only my teams” moment the Bears are just so bad against QBs that struggle to make rosters
-
I want to die
-
That’s back breaking
-
Oh no, that was Justin Fields-esque. saw the guy blitzing the whole way, somehow still doesn’t get rid of the ball fast enough
-
You’re begging for this to happen if you only get two field goals with the two drives you’ve had im of course furious
-
Go Bears. Give us a low stress, get Caleb healthy game, please
-
Oh I’m aware. I hope that with Ben Johnson, we’re in a new era where we don’t lose to the Tyler Thigpens of the world.
-
Every game against an NFL defense, no matter how bad, is an opportunity for growth and to prove your abilities. I’m definitely not gonna look this gift horse in the mouth. The only thing I’m truly afraid of is if the team doesn’t take advantage of what should now be a lay up game
-
Oh my gosh! This changes things immensely. Blessed season back on. Don't you dare do a repeat of 2021 and lose to the Ravens third string QB.
-
They’re gonna keep us guessing until right up to kick off
-
Oh man our Corner situation is dire
-
Well damn, the Vikings are terrible. we really shouldn’t have lost that game to them
-
Season over! 🤣
-
If he's out the Bears are definitely experiencing a blessed season like 2001. And hell, I'm here for it.

Week 7: Bears vs Saints, Sunday at noon on FOX
BigSlick replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Here's the thing: just be honest about every performance. Cowboys game? Spectacular. Raiders game? not great. Commanders game? Pretty decent but with some painful missed opportunities. Saints game? Pretty bad in pretty gnarly weather conditions. Etc. But we're not even halfway through the season. I'm withholding any meaningful judgment until the end of the season. Even then, I have to imagine even if he continues up-and-down performance he's still locked into the starting role for next season. And he should be! -

It’s weird to be impatient about Caleb right when like half a dozen former assumed busts are now killing it. Daniel Jones is the QB of the best team in the league! We have to avoid the apologia that we’ve had formerly with Trubisky and Fields, but we also have to patient. -
I'd probably stick with Moody, though you gotta keep in mind this guy has had some serious accuracy issues in the past... but unfortunately as dependable as Santos has been for the past few years, he's become outclassed by the standards of the position these days. You need a guy who can boot it out of the endzone when you need it (Santos can't do that) and you need a guy who can at least attempt 50+ with some credibility, which Santos has done but his leg is not strong enough to make them consistently.

It really does feel like the "come back to earth" game that we've seen the Bears experience in previous years. We beat up a few bums, and then we play some team that maybe fell on some tough times but has a legit offense, and the beat the everloving horsefeathers out of us. The Niners game last year is one such example I can think of. (Chargers game in '23 may apply, he Cowboys game in '22 when they dropped 49 on us, and on and on) Would love for this to not be a repeat of that phenomenon.

On Dan Bernstein's podcast they mentioned that last year (all of last year) they had only 20 big pass plays (20+ yards), this year they've already surpassed that in 6 games. Wild. Matt Abbattacola also intimated what I suspected, that they're specifically coaching Caleb to not scramble for yards but look for big plays downfield. Now, I dunno how much credence you give him ("people I've talked to" ok, who's that?), but it certainly looks that way, and is appropriately awkward. He just isn't doing the things that come naturally to him. And if that's the case, I'd say, stop it. He's historically been more effective when he's just feeling it on the scramble, and he is quite nifty with his legs. He doesn't generally take big shots (though obviously its a concern long term). I'm less worried about what Caleb is doing while scrambling than what he's doing in the pocket, in rhythm. On the other hand, Ben Johnson is 1000000% a smarter, more qualified offensive genius than me. So I should probably just put my faith in him, no matter how bleh it may look in the early term.

Well I guess we aren’t moving into 2nd place in the North tonight. the Lions are a legit ass team. Yeah they dropped a couple to two good teams but man. They’re good.
-
I'm also on team "give young QBs more time" but there's a reason why teams don't give QBs as much time as they used to: contracts. Because of draft slotting and how contracts work, you pretty much *have* to know what you have with your QB by the end of year 3 or you're kind of boned.

Oh my god we would be so so lucky to avoid Lamar here. I’m not counting on it though. Huge opportunity for the Bears to “arrive” here though. They’ve been playing a bunch of scrubs (and the Commanders, who didn’t play amazing), so if they can look even just decent in a competitive game, it means a lot. Weird to say against a 1-5 team, but it’s real. Would be a great game for Caleb to look good.

I think I’m seeing some overreaction to Caleb’s game yesterday this morning. He was bad, he wasn’t disastrously bad. I think folks have somehow memory hole’d just how bad things can get (some of the Justin Fields years seems to have left people, there were long stretches with a completely inoperable offense. Not 175 yards passing, 26 points). Hilariously, PFF grades Caleb higher for yesterday than it did against the Commanders, which is just silly. Patience. If Caleb still looks like this or worse by the time we hit our NFC North stretch, then I give you permission to panic about him. No sooner.
