    Throws all those inaccurate passes and then pulls out one like that on 3rd and 15
  2. UMFan83
    well at least he still hasn’t thrown an interception?
  3. UMFan83
    Most QBs throw a deep ball to where only their WR can get it. Caleb throws it to where only the DB can get it for some reason
  4. UMFan83
    Glad we got a fumble to prevent further beat down but 0 timeouts and 52 seconds left were not going to do anything with this last possession.
  5. UMFan83
    2nd time in 3 weeks the Bears have been tricked into jumping in 3rd down for a 1st. This team is horribly coached
  6. UMFan83
    What a strange pass on 4th down
  7. UMFan83
    The Bears offensive problems today go beyond Caleb Williams but I’d be lying if I said he wasn’t bad so far today. An entire half without a first down seems suboptimal
  8. UMFan83
    More than midway through the 2nd quarter and the Bears don’t have a 1st down and Caleb is 2-6 for 6 yards, one a checkdown to the RB and the other a screen to Moore for no gain. For normal franchises this would be a coach killing game. For Eberflus…the defense he was suppose to specialize in is getting torched and the QB he has entrusted to develop hasn’t gotten a 1st down. 6 losses in a row and this one looking like a complete blowout on national tv.
  9. UMFan83
    It’s an extremely Bears decision to make, not gonna lie. So that’s probably what’s gonna happen.
  10. UMFan83
    Yeah. Ultimately will matter little in the outcome of the game but that was a really weak call
  11. UMFan83
    Knew this would be awful but it doesn’t make it any less aggravating.
  12. UMFan83
    No pressure at all on Goff so far
  13. UMFan83
    Quiet you
  14. UMFan83
    Eberflus is such a moron challenging that. It’s a big impact play, I get that. But there’s 0 chance they overturn it. Just wasting timeouts and challenges. Moron
  15. UMFan83
    I see we’re still doing the 3rd and long soft coverage conversions. Staple of the Eberflus defense
  16. UMFan83
    The Dodgers were probably like "what do we need to do to wrap this up before the winter meetings? you need an extra $8 million per year? Fine, done"
  17. UMFan83
    Yeah I didn’t even think about Sasaki. They are probably looking at it thinking “we can get Snell and Sasaki for an average of $18.3M for the next 5 years”
  18. UMFan83
    I mean my only reaction is just jealousy. It feels like we don’t even play in the same league as them. That’s an AAV of $36.4M. I don’t think the Cubs have ever paid a player more than $28.5M in a season. And Dodgers fans are probably saying “cool now what other top FAs can we sign this winter?” So yeah I don’t particularly love the idea of paying Blake Snell 5/$182 so not necessarily jealous of that. But insanely jealous of how easily the Dodgers throw money around while the Cubs had their entire offseason ruined (in Jed’s mind) because Bellinger picked up his $27.5m option.

  20. UMFan83
    I won't believe it until patch.com has a report out
  21. UMFan83
    yeah that will save our inconsistent offense that fails to hit for months at a time.
  22. UMFan83
    Do you think that going slightly over the luxury tax last season is in any way playing a factor in the offseason decision making? I was told that it's not a big deal that the Cubs went slightly over, but if Jed being unable to track his spending correctly is the reason the Cubs decided to have a boring offseason, I'm gonna be so annoyed.
  23. UMFan83
    I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. Averaging 300 passing yards a game is a 5,100 yard pace over a full season. Only 6 players in NFL history have thrown for 5,100 yards in a season. I get that its only a 6 game stretch but still that's a sky high pace for a rookie QB that is facing a lot of great defenses for a team this is going nowhere and will soon have to deal with players who are just trying to get through a lost season and lame duck (hopefully) coach.
  24. UMFan83
    Feel like Jed has a secret extension in place. Seems like this would be the offseason to finally do something bold (and maybe he still will via trade) to make the playoffs but he doesn’t seem to be too concerned about it It’s going to be funny when we’re in June after the offense hasn’t hit yet again for a 6 week stretch and Jed is sitting there acting surprised
  25. UMFan83
    Right which is why I was responding to a post that talked about how he was throwing downfield in coverage yesterday and how he might throw 1-2 INTs this week. My response focused too much on the lack of throwing INTs but I was basically trying to say keep slinging it like he has the last 2 weeks. While I obviously don’t want him to throw it to the other team, he’s been at his best when he’s not afraid to rip it and not worry so much about trying to be perfect.
