  1. Can’t help but laugh edit: correction, actually the longest since at least the merger in 1970
  2. My take on Caleb after 8 games is that I see him do things that I’ve never seen a Bears QB do before or at least rarely. He seems to have the between the ears component that other QBs have lacked and can read a defense and make adjustments at the line. He mostly keeps his eyes downfield even when scrambling and can make quick decisions that make plays happen out of nowhere. But his accuracy, particularly his deep ball accuracy, has been super alarming even if I believe it’s something he can fix. And today he had that same deer in headlights look that I’ve seen Justin and Mitch have when they look utterly defeated and have lost their confidence due to being pressured so frequently and that’s definitely scary. I tend to believe that good QB prospects can be ruined by poor development, though there are probably some QBs that are good enough to overcome that. I’m not sure which camp Caleb is in but it really doesn’t look like this offense is maximizing his strengths so that’s a bad sign. I still think he ultimately projects to be a Pro Bowl QB, but I can’t discount him being ruined by poor coaching and ending up in the Bears QB graveyard.
  3. I think last year was your chance to get Johnson. We kept Eberflus and now Caleb has had a year of being developed by someone else. I’m gonna guess we missed our window with him.
  4. How about the team that should have stayed in Chicago and instead kicked the Bears out many years ago?
  5. It’s just scary that these are the results we’re getting from him with the 2nd easiest schedule in the league this year. Not all on him obviously but now we have by far the most difficult remaining schedule in the league and an injury riddled offensive line that promises to destroy any potential to develop the rest of the season.
  6. Might as well fire them for keeping Caleb in the game
  7. Bears have been in garbage time for much of the 2nd half and Caleb might not get to 200 passing yards
  8. Announcers are just openly mocking the Bears and deservedly so
  9. i think we should just put Bagent in the rest of the game to protect Caleb
  10. Why is poles safe? This is year 3 and we’re maybe a 6 win team. He’s done some decent things and you can sell me on keeping him but the results just aren’t there. Other teams manage to flip their fortunes over 1-2 seasons but Poles intentionally tanked one season and got the number 1 pick in back to back years and we’re still trash.
  11. Lmao, not only do we not get the 1st but we give them 15 yards of additional field position. What a disaster
  12. Where is Caleb throwing the ball? Oof
  13. Are guys not getting open or is Caleb too hesitant to pull the trigger on time?
  14. Look what happens when you have good coaching. The Commanders had the number 2 pick and earned it with their record and are 7-2 with a harder SOS than the Bears. I don’t think anyone should be on the fence about Eberflus. Either you have it or you don’t and he doesn’t have it.
  15. Can we just politely ask the McCaskeys to leave town and petition the league for an expansion team? Might take a couple of years but I feel like we need a fresh start.
  16. Bears have that long streak of not allowing 21 points and in the biggest game of Eberflus’ tenure the streak is broken before halftime
  17. Seriously I’m out for blood. I want Eberflus gone tomorrow. Though I know it won’t happen
  18. What a complete disaster. Fire everyone
  19. I was just waiting for the killer sack. Was only a matter of time
  20. I think God has been telling us we don’t deserve an NFL football team for years and we just don’t listen
  21. Completely unacceptable. horsefeathers I hate football
  22. Underthrown but still nice find downfield
