That was the moment when I knew the football gods had decreed that the Bears weren’t allowed to win. There are a couple games a year where the gods just don’t allow you win. God willing you don’t also lose your quarterback for a significant amount of time too. now the Jets are purposefully just conceding the last minute of the game for no reason? Embarrassing
-
There’s only so much I can put down on coach vs coach scheming in a game like this. It’s just been the impossible to run a normal offense. Several drops. Fumbles. Bad snaps. Blocked field goal. then the weather may have cost your your quarterback for a while. I really don’t think there’s any way to draw any significant conclusions from a game like that.
-
Ok uh my main takeaway out of this may be that getting a dome in Chicago isn’t the worst idea
-
Picking up the flag there is insane
-
Ugh what a slop fest. Not happy offensively, especially the penalties, but more than anything these conditions are just horrible for offensive football. give us one TD and we likely win.
-
We may, with the assistance of injuries and Dan Campbell general nuttiness, be seeing this current Lions window closing. Thank god.
-
i'm completely convinced that Kevin Warren is the main obstacle to the Bears getting a new stadium at this point (I also don't entirely care because he played some role, however minor, in getting Ben Johnson here)

I truly, honestly, wouldn't be surprised if Zombie PFF ranking Caleb so low was a calculated move to gin up engagement in the wake of them being completely gutted. If it was a cynical move, it's absolutely worked. Every Chicago sports station has talked about it, it's been on ESPN, it's been on FS1. Post something extremely stupid and controversial and people will talk about it. It's not like anyone's reading PFF scores to get an accurate view of player's abilities anyway. -
this sorry ass team has to go on a playoff run, as an obligation to PCA alone
-
I'm almost shocked to see Bregman is #7 in all of MLB in fWAR and bWAR. Man what a turnaround he's had this season as well.

Caleb only had 8 incompletions! 3 I believe were throwaways. I'm not nitpicking. -
I fear nothing
-
For aesthetic purposes alone, I really hope he gets 3 more steals
-
The Cubs lead the league in WAR from position players and are literally last in the league in WAR from pitching. It's actually quite impressive when you think about it. It would be hard to accomplish if you really tried to do it.
-
Leaving wrigley. Another kick in the nuts night. Was also at the game they blew a 5-0 lead earlier in June. not a fun season!

this is idiotic, lmao Caleb was 21 of 29 and at least 3 of those incompletions were purposeful throwaways. Just a totally useless metric. -
We got a David sighting, and I hope somewhere, Kyle is feeling happy. I'm sure he is. Speaking of Brian Flores, it's almost like he's playing a completely different game from the rest of the league:
-
Honestly I have to imagine if the Packers don’t turn it around this year LaFleur is gone. May not be fair, but I think it’s coming. And I think they’d be doing the rest of the NFC North a favor because I do think he’s a good coach, but sometimes you hit too much disappointment in a row and it’s gotta be done.
-
My feelings around the 2026 Cubs revolve around whether or not they can hit 90 wins. If they can, I'll feel ok about this very weird VERY up and down season. if they can't, I'll consider it a mildly weird disappointing season if they don't go on a shockingly fun and long postseason run.
-
I just.... I just can't imagine Carson Wentz doing what he did yesterday again. Maybe I should. Maybe our defense is just so porous and Kevin O'Connell and the Vikings skill position players are so good that it doesn't matter. Maybe Carson Wentz has 37 points in him against us. But I just. I can't see it, even though there are very good reasons to think they can be a problem. I just see the Bears romping.
-
It’ll be interesting to see what the Carson Wentz Vikings can do against this defense. It’ll be a very Movable Object vs Stoppable Force i expect the Bears offense to put up 35+ of course

We’ve suffered through so much. We definitely more than deserve to see a Legit Dude there at QB. I think we can say definitively, Caleb is that dude. And Ben Johnson knows offense, if nothing else. barring bad luck (knock on as much wood as you got around) we’re in for a fun 5-10 years. -
Perhaps the Packers could consider being bad for 15 straight years and having dogshit quarterback play for 30 straight years. It worked for us. I’m curious how it plays for them.

if Kyler Murray is out any significant amount of time, the Vikings winning vs. Green Bay and then shambling into Chicago with Carson Wentz is the best situation I can possibly imagine???
