  1. That was anticlimactic oh well. Woulda been cool to have Williams get a drive but it is what it is
  2. You can see the palpable relief for Williams there. can we possibly get a stop and a drive??
  3. This is what happens when you adamantly refuse to score for 3 quarters. Not mad at the D at all
  4. I literally do not care if something is “in double coverage” if it hits the receiver in the hands
  5. Poor Williams, that wasn’t on him really
  6. lol a Hail Mary that’s COMPLETE but just outside of the end zone is emblematic of this season so far
  7. please god just let the Bears have a non-janky, normal looking offensive effort for once. Don't have it look so bad and weird
  8. The response to the Texans game shouldn't have surprised me but it was funny: Everyone admitted the Texans were a better team and expected the Bears to lose. Then the Bears came out and lost a close game (and covered the spread!) and everyone lost their minds. Now of course, the Bears looked worse on offense than everyone had hoped, but still, at the end of the day, it played out how everyone expected it to play out.
  9. I'm also mildly surprised the Bears are dogs in this game but also they've looked absolutely dreadful on offense, and on the road, so it does make sense. This should be a get healthy game, so we'll find out a lot about where this team is going after this. Their defense shouldn't scare us too much and the team should be able to move the ball a little bit. If they can't you can start to get worried, but only start. Even if they lay a total egg it'll be the 3rd game of a season with your rookie QB. But it'll still sting, and may say a lot about how well prepared this team is. They need to clean up a lot of unforced errors. Pre-snap penalties, mixed up assignments, etc. There's no excuse for it to look that bad.
  10. I've re-watched all of Caleb's drop backs and a couple thoughts I have on reflection: The OLine, while very bad, was not as bad as I thought and Caleb was responsible for several of the sacks. The 4th and 1 play was particularly egregious - that was one where he hit the top of his drop, clearly needed to release the ball or scramble, and instead pivots and eats a huge sack for no reason. The protection needs to be better and in particular the running game needs to be better. But it's not all bad protection.
  11. Bryce Young makes me feel extremely good about the Bears organization
  12. I probably feel the least bad of any Bears fan after this game last night. I obviously don’t feel good but c’mon folks take a step back and look at this in the context of the whole season: they lost 19-13 to a very good team, on the road, the second game of the year, with a rookie QB. They have a pretty soft run going forward in the schedule. Our defense, IMO, looks better than expected so far. The things that are concerning are primarily the run game and the OLine. (Which are worse than expected). Williams’s struggles are not unexpected nor do they entirely scare me. He’s going to hit on medium and deep balls going forward. His decision making so far is, on the whole, pretty good. Even if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be in panic mode. Things could be a whole lot easier for him with better protection and some healthy receivers, but I expect that to improve (at least somewhat!) moving ahead. im zen and patient about the whole thing
  13. I’ll say my biggest surprise of this year is that the OLine really didn’t make any strides forward
  14. This game isn’t even over yet lol. I mean, the Texans are probably 95% to win, but it’s a two score game with 11 minutes left. If the final score ends up 19-10 I’ll be disappointed but it would only be slightly on the low side of my expectations?
  15. I’m very ok with Caleb making these kinds of mistakes today was a step forward for Caleb, not gonna lie at all
  16. Is it possible for this guy to MISS just ONE 50+ yard field goal? JUST ONE?
  17. That’ll just about be game thays the kind of throw (spinning out of a sure sack for a 26 yard gain) that every Packer QB has hardwired into their programming
  18. Great 3rd quarter by this Bears D DO SOMETHJNG ON OFFENSE
  19. horsefeathers. That was almost the coolest interception in the world
  20. I’d bet almost any amount of money right now that the Texans will score on this drive
  21. Wow that 3rd and 1 play was idiotic
  22. I have to say this is one of the most favorably refereed games for the Bears in my memory. We’ve gotten some gifts. which is fair because over the course of my lifetime refs have HATED the Bears so I’ll take it
  23. Nice job D Let’s see a legit drive
