    you simply gotta love watching aaron rodgers getting sacked, fumbling, and seeing the fumble returned for a td by a big fat guy

    never mind, he may actually just be bad
  3. BigSlick
    It's wild how much he's regressed since his rookie season. He's certainly not bad but he's never since reached the highs he did as a rookie, which is a weird career progression

    whats the etiquette on starting the next playoff game thread? jersey? lets go!

    Yeah Caleb was great. The completion percentage is simply not something I'm super worried about and I know it will organically go up 4-5% as he gets better, he better understands Ben Johnson's system, and he gets on the same page with receivers that will be here for a while. He's never gonna be a 70% completion percentage guy and that really doesn't matter for me. He'll more than make up for it with the chunk plays and his legs. He's already a good QB, he's only gonna get better. Even the two interceptions didn't bother me much - both were on 4th down, one of them was objectively worse for the Packers than an incompletion. One had Burden running the wrong route, one of them was on Moore falling down. These things happen.

    Just realized how perfectly analogous this season, so far, is to the 2015 Cubs. New administration, a bunch of young guys coming up/drafted, a magical year where they come out of nowhere to make the playoffs and vanquish their hated rival. I guess we can assume they'll make the NFCCG and get plastered. Now, the real question is if 2026 matches 2016.

    Well the Rams are probably the team I wanted to see least, but so it goes. It’s the playoffs, you’re gonna face someone pretty good (Panthers exempted). im excited to see them play another playoff game. We get it at home. Whatever happens, im so happy
  8. BigSlick
    Facing the Eagles again would be cool because 1. We’ve shown we can beat them and 2. That would be another opportunity to exorcise some more playoff demons

    Every time I feel like I’m out on DJ he has an amazing game. When he’s on, he’s such a baller. Fights for extra yards, just dynamic with the ball in his hands. i really suspect he’s been dealing with nagging injuries the last two years and hasn’t been fully healthy since 2023. Maybe that’s just the reality for a 28 year old receiver who’s had a lot of tread on his tires. That probably won’t get any better at age 29. But damn it would be nice to have him at that ‘23 level with this team. Maybe we’d be overpaying for him at his cap number next year but I don’t think he’s necessarily a drag on the team.

    Bears D-line is never gonna get a huge pass rush, but this shows that they don’t have to be total pushovers and have some fight in them

    I agree whole-heartedly on the 4th down calls. They were ballsy, but the way the defense was playing in the first half, each one was justifiable. Johnson was set to get eaten alive for being so aggressive on 4th down if they didn’t win the game but… each one was right. Now the play calls he made on them was questionable but so it goes. im also for keeping Brisker if his price is reasonable. I just like the guy, and he may not be the Best Best in coverage but he makes plays.

    I really hope Trapilo’s injury isn’t career-endangering. It sounds really gnarly. I know there’s only a ~50% recovery rate for players who sustain a patellar injury… I wonder how many of those players who never came back were later in their career and had a poorer outlook for coming back? He’s a young guy, medical science keeps progressing… it just freaks me out to hear this could be it for him.
  13. BigSlick
    He wasn’t ready yet! He was still coming off an injury and learning the playbook. Same thing was going on with Burden too. people were making “bust” proclamations on Loveland like 3 weeks into the season, it was driving me insane. Patience! Not even a lot of patience! Is required!
  14. BigSlick
    Given what he was able to do with a defensive roster shredded with injuries and under talented on the D-line, I definitely don’t hate the idea of seeing what he can do if we add some talent.
  15. BigSlick
    I don’t think the Packers are stupid enough to do it, but it would be hilarious if they fired MLF.
  16. BigSlick
    We’ve never, not ever, had a QB that can do the things he can. Cutler maybe had something approaching his physical talent, but not even close mentally. for 35 years Green Bay had That Guy and we had to suffer the consequences. Last night was a passing of the baton.

    Ben Johnson and the 2025 Bears have officially achieved “Better than Matt Nagy and the 2018 Bears” status

    The Devin Hester kick off return TD in the Super Bowl is still probably the very best I’ve ever felt as a Bears fan, but it unfortunately occurred during a loss. This may be the happiest I’ve ever been as a Bears fan ever.
  19. BigSlick
    Well that game has immediately become a top 5 Chicago sports moment for me
  20. BigSlick
    well that sucks. LA plays down to their competition, nearly chokes it away, and most importantly, denies the Bears the possibility of facing Carolina next week in the event that we do move on
  21. BigSlick
    I’m shocked but… they’re winning. it would be so cool if Carolina won
  22. BigSlick
    I hate those and they often get destroyed in them now the all-whites… the only game I remember with them wearing those was one when Hester returned two kick offs for TDS
  23. BigSlick
    I hope the Bears coaching staff and roster know my whole mental health for the next few weeks is entirely dependent on them figuring out a way to win this game no matter what
  24. BigSlick
    It would be hilarious if Indiana won and we got 3 Big Ten National Champions in 3 years. So much for SEC dominance. I think the current situation is far too volatile and messed up to continue as it has though, a bunch of stuff has to change in NIL, playoff formatting, etc everything

    How soon you forget that Dayo Odeyingbo was our starting DE at the beginning of this season. (How soon we all forget)
