I think football has changed so dramatically even in just the last 5 years that we’re going to see a lot of weirdness with stats that were developed and calibrated in the last 20 years. its impossible to overestimate how much things like: changes in how the passing game is called by refs, the proliferation of ultra-accurate and ultra-long kickers, changes in kick off rule (now everyone gets the ball roughly 10 yards closer to the end zone before) ((and I hate this)), and strategic changes (far more 4th down and 2 point conversion attempts). If things continue in this direction we may see punting almost disappear completely. Every drive would result in a score, a turnover, or a turnover on downs. Honestly I would hate that but I’m a Football Boomer.

The Bears still aren't very good but listen, there's no need to apologize for anything, the Vikings recently won 13 games with a negative point differential. Now the Bears are like, pretty likely to make the playoffs too lmao. Sincerely don't care how fraudulent a team this is, that rocks for Ben Johnson's first year and the roster's confidence in him and themselves.
-
we're not allowed
-
if Eberflus was some kind of magnet for bad ju-ju, poor late game management and bad morale...than I have to believe Ben Johnson is the opposite. He Just Wins Games, Folks.
-
Pretty bad game for Caleb, approximately 37 plays that if the Bears simply catch the ball/don't miss a routine fg/don't fall over and miss a block/don't run right into a defender/don't hit your own guy preventing an INT and hurting both of you/not miss several open guys... you win this easily. JUST ONE of those had to go our way. So, I dont feel too guilty about winning this. Not to mention several personal foul calls the refs refuse to call when its the opponents killing us
-
Ok, my earlier serenity was validated. These Bears really make you work for it huh
-
i dont trust Santos with horsefeathers anything is the problem
-
I thought things may have been different but no... I fear I was wrong
-
Extraordinarily predictable and preventable 50 seconds for Caleb and 3 time outs to get into field goal range Feeling pessimistic about it
-
The Bears are trying to lose this huh I kinda had hope they wouldn't, but it was misplaced hope
-
There have been roughly 37 plays where if the Bears just did one thing right this game is over Very tough game
-
If you give them the ball back you absolutely lose, I’ve seen enough football to know that
-
Please god don’t give them the ball back with us only a 6 point lead my stupid heard will not be able to handle it
-
LOVELAND IS A STUD
-
DJ NOOOOOOO
-
We’ve all seen this game like 739 times before right? This is 100% a game the Bears Just Lose. Let’s see if anything is different under Johnson.
-
Ok so everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is setting this up for a 1 point loss for the Bears yet I’m strangely serene
-
Caleb can you give them the dagger??? Let’s do it man
-
13 point lead feels ominous
-
God every single fade or deep ball from Caleb just sucks
-
Man Burden is so physically impressive get some points here you horsefeatherss!!
-
That's a tough one Burden, we really could have used that
-
McCarthy is brutal - Bears have a pretty bad blitz on 3rd and 7, it gets picked up and JJ has a nice pocket and then he just.... sails a ball completely out of bounds that no one had a shot at. Bears, seriously, if you can't beat this team I don't know what to tell you. Get a TD and exert your will guys.
-
Wow…. I didn’t think they’d be so confident with Santos at 54 but clearly they like what they’re seeing with him i personally don’t like the “put in Travis homer and lose 5 yards” play and think we should take it out of the playbook
-
You know what I’m liking? Caleb is hitting his tight end on these blitzes
