    lmao at Kyle Monangai trying to "evade" someone in open space (run them over)

    I expected the Bears to not have any pass rush but I didn't expect the run D to be total garbage
  3. BigSlick
    Are these aware they don't need to throw a flag on every play? They can just not do it.

    Luther Burden is so cool. I also love that Calebs deep ball accuracy is coming together now.
  5. BigSlick
    Bears D just ain't good, which is fine! but we need to be reminded of that from time to time

    please sir....a first down please....i'll do just about anything for a first down

    I am a bit disappointed that Bad First Drive Offense continues, Caleb had a lane when he recovered there and should have just got the first. But good lord, this feels like the first not-so-stressful game they've had in a year. It's nice to just watch them play football.

    Bryce Young is not really a starting quarterback, and the sooner the Panthers accept that reality, the sooner they can find the actual solution at QB because the rest of the team is shockingly decent.

    Bears NFC North champs 🫡

    I guess if we have to be hit by some bug, better now than any other time in the season or postseason

    People on X were suggesting sending a contract like Moore’s in any trade, which would make me sad, but might be the type of thing they would need to do to even out salary. im sure we could figure something out.

    Ryan Poles, your table is set

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they just sit Odunze the rest of the year (and hopefully that’s enough to have him in for the playoffs )

    I take no pleasure (ok, some) in calling that Dan Campbell would be a candle that burns bright, but not for long. Those high emotion guys can inspire folks for a bit, but once things turn for the bad, the vibes get terrible and it collapses dramatically. Also he seems really stupid.

    Thayer is there to scream incoherently in either joy or dismay while it takes Joniak several seconds to explain what’s going on after the fact

    Our defensive line sucks - this is our main issue and i think will continue being our achilles heel until whenever we do hit a wall in the postseason we knock out Love and Jacobs can't continue and the Packers are running all over us. Willis barely needs to pass because they can just run up the middle or run option plays that we can't do anything against. I'd be shocked if this Niners team doesn't put 30+ on us. And to be clear - I'm insanely optimistic and thrilled about this team! We're in the 99th percentile of possibilities for where this team was to start off with! Things almost couldn't be going better! But we're in deep trouble against competent, professional offenses if we don't get turnovers.

    You're crazy, Joniak is great* *Fully prepared to admit I just like the guy

    This one feels like a loss tonight. It reminds me of the 2006 season after the Cardinals comeback. A huge, improbable, historic comeback in a game we shouldn’t have won - and the next week we lost badly to Miami. It just seems like a hangover loss - and the Niners looked totally unstoppable on offense on Monday night. Our defense just can’t stop anyone if we don’t get turnovers. hopefully we do some fun things offensively but I’m expecting a loss and I’m totally ok with it. We’re in baby. It’s all gravy from here.

    It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about it much but the Chris Conte Fall Down loss feels worse to me in my memory than the loss in the NFC Championship. I’m not even sure why, given we lost out on a Super Bowl bid vs the Packers of all teams, but losing the NFC North on a last second pass… that was more painful. Maybe because that whole back half of that season was a slow motion train crash I was wishing beyond hope to see avoided. Everything went wrong when it needed to go wrong for them to miss the playoffs. Seeing that was worse for whatever reason.

    I’m not picking on you but I do want to comment on something that I’ve seen others say about this last game; Caleb didn’t start slow this game. He was actually incredible from go : he made several amazing, in rhythm throws AND improvisational throws (the one to Zaccheus in stride in particular) on the opening drive and let’s be honest, Ben Johnson boofed it on 4th down, The Bears only had one more real drive the whole half. We got into Packers territory and a Wright false start threw off the drive. After that theres semi-aborted 2 minute drill (Caleb makes two nice throws) that stalls out in Green Bay territory on 4th and 4 with what I’m still not sure was a purposeful delay of game or not. What makes it seem like Caleb started off slow is a really bad momentum swinging play and execution near the Packers goal line and a defense that couldn’t get off the field. Packers effectiveness controlling the ball plus the Bears with a run heavy attack meant we had very limited drives throughout the game.

    I hate HATE that we're very likely to face the Packers again in the playoffs. Facing nearly anyone else I would be 100% ok with the Bears getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs. Merely getting here and getting 11+ wins is such a tremendous achievement by Ben Johnson and co. But good lord. There's no way I could feel fully satisfied if they do all that and then we have a repeat of 2010 Caleb Hanie BJ Raji Dancing in the End Zone Is Jay Cutler Tough Enough Diabetes NFC Championship. I'm 15 years older and my heart is not in good enough shape for that.

    Poor Detroit fans. Their sufferings are worse than ours, and really the only people who should get this kind of torture from the refs are the Packers. i would love any playoff scenario that doesn’t involve playing an NFC North rival in the first round of the playoffs. Can we get that? Because I can’t survive another 2010 style meeting.
  23. BigSlick
    The Bears have officially clinched a playoff spot. 😇
  24. BigSlick
    Ok I was gonna say I don’t believe in jinxes but after seeing Pittsburgh doink a close to game-seating field goal,…
  25. BigSlick
    Oh my god the Steelers are gonna do it i would be so depressed if I was a Lions fan. They’ve retained basically the same roster and they’ve really blown games they shouldn’t have all year. This should be an easy playoff team, but… the buzz saw of football came for them
