    This is about the least bad I could feel following a loss to the Packers where we relinquish the NFC North lead. I have quibbles with Ben Johnson's opening gameplan (I think you gotta start off pounding the ball more, but game flow also dictates a little bit of that), but he clearly adjusted in the second half. I also think he let waaaay too much time come off the clock on the last drive, I understand wanting to leave Green Bay zero time left if you score, but he let so much come off that it restricted his playcalls. We weren't on the goal line, we were on the Green Bay like, 20. It was a mistake. But overall, the dude has a superior grasp of game flow, play calling, and strategic calls in general. he's obviously inspired the entire roster. Things are good. I trust in Ben.

    I think the first 6 plays of this game were 5 passes and 1 run. I know you don’t want to be totally predictable, but we just can’t do that Ben,

    Why are we mad at Kyler? Lmao

    At the end of the day, I really don’t feel too bad about this one. Caleb had a half where he was just awful, and they barely lose the game. Johnson had a blah game, calling wise. Defense is really not a super talented bunch and they still competed and got the ball back a number of times. we definitely weren’t outclassed.
  5. BigSlick
    Not a great game from anyone. Johnson bafflingly didn’t run the ball a lot to start the game. Defense got a couple clutch stops but not when it mattered. Caleb was brutal, then brilliant. We need him brilliant for 60 mins.

    This clock management has been insane, Ben
  7. BigSlick
    Lmao I’ve almost never seen a play like that before. Jacob’s was dead to rights 5 yards behind the LOS and…. Nobody made the tackle
  8. BigSlick
    Told you boys the game wasn’t over yet
  9. BigSlick
    Not a great game for the Oline or Johnson for that matter
  10. BigSlick
    Thanks a lot D
  11. BigSlick
    I wish Caleb could just start here instead of taking a half to get here
  12. BigSlick
    Caleb is my dude.
  13. BigSlick
    Nahshon with another great play. Guys on a heater. well the best thing I can say is this half started well for us
  14. BigSlick
    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.
  15. BigSlick
    Hey boys, settle down. The game is not over.
  16. BigSlick
    There is that weird pop fly, can of corn ball. I don’t understand how that Isn’t picked off
  17. 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
  18. BigSlick
    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.
  19. BigSlick
    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
  20. BigSlick
    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.
  21. BigSlick
    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.
  22. BigSlick
    Correct!
  23. BigSlick
    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.
  24. BigSlick
    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!
  25. 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.
