    Ben seems quite frustrated with Kyler’s health. He knows his loss contributed to the team’s loss Sunday. Between Jaylon, Dayo, and Kyler, the Bears have had an awful lot of high-priced players hurt. I know it’s football, but it’s never good to have $50 mil+ on the sidelines for an awful lot of games.

    Ben is very good but clearly not perfect. He has to coach a perfect game when the other team’s two most important players, their quarterback and defensive end, are better than your quarterback and defensive end.

    Bears in the 7th spot in the playoffs with the Packers, Niners, and Lions on the schedule. If the Bears miss the playoffs, it will be because they can’t beat playoff teams ahead of them. Still, a 65% chance of making the playoffs.

    At the 41 yard line early in the game the passing game was in shambles. You only throw there if you are planning on kicking a FG on 4th down if the pass is incomplete. As far as the last play of the game, go with your strength which is running or a straight Caleb play action naked bootleg run. And to roll Caleb to the left makes it harder to get something on the ball. The Bears are good enough to get a yard on 4th down running it with 27 seconds to go and two timeouts in their pocket even when everyone knows it’s coming.

    Not running the ball enough in the first half, not getting into FG position in the first half on the GB 41, and the final play call

    He made 3 big mistakes today. That’s gotta stop happening.
  8. Wilson A2000
    Week 1 he tried to be too clever by trying to have Santos kick it through the end zone. Then the 3 really bad decisions today. He needs to be better. He’s obviously pretty good, but he has to be better.

    DJ Moore with 1 catch for -4 yards. $28.5 million cap hit the next 2 years with $35.5 million in dead cap money next year. 3 TDs and 500 yards is not getting it done.
  10. Wilson A2000
    This hasn’t been his first time trying to be too clever. You don’t get more wins for winning with trickery.

    But that’s what great QBs do. The difference between great QBs and average ones is often the ability to play well all game over and over again.
  12. Wilson A2000
    Or just run the ball on 4th. They were having lots of success in the second half. The run game is far more reliable than Caleb right now.
  13. Wilson A2000
    I don’t disagree with your comments - the future is bright. Still, 3rd and 4th down were ugly. Taking too much time on 3rd down forced Ben to try to score on 4th down instead of just running for the 1st. Ben gambles a little too much.
  14. Wilson A2000
    I think they used 30 seconds for the 3rd down play. They were so worried about not leaving time on the clock that they rushed themselves at the end. In his postgame interview, Ben said he would have gone for two had they scored.
  15. Wilson A2000
    Those are just way too many mistakes for a game of this magnitude. No way he should have been trusting Caleb in that position when your strength is rushing. Caleb only has a fastball and doesn’t normally have the touch for that throw.
  16. Wilson A2000
    Why is it obvious to everyone but Ben why this wasn’t the strategy? That was a bad decision as was not getting into FG position on the GB 40 earlier in the game as was the final play call. Ben and Caleb can’t be this hot and cold. 1-3 in the Division.
  17. Wilson A2000
    It would have been close, but I think he had it
  18. Wilson A2000
    Caleb doesn’t throw a high fade well in tight spaces. That play should never have been called. Ben got too clever as he often does.
  19. Wilson A2000
    Terrible play calling by Ben in the first half and just the worst play call you can image when you’ve been bullying them all second half
  20. Wilson A2000
    Terrible play call by Ben and just an ATROCIOUS throw
  21. Wilson A2000
    Took WAY too much time
  22. Wilson A2000
    Bad tackling just gave GB that drive on multiple occasions
  23. Wilson A2000
    Score and go for 2 and win it
  24. Wilson A2000
    He’ll be back

    Diving at their ankles is not what you do in the NFL
