  1. I was watching this live. I’m sitting here 15 minutes later dumbfounded. Also the GT player for some reason decided to slide into the end zone and could have easily been down before the goal line if we did it a half second earlier
  2. That was a typical OSU game that they play ~2 times a year where they play shockingly close to another team and then overwhelm the opponent at the end and you blink and they’re up 20 at the end. That said, this feels different, they don’t feel as dominating as they’ve been in the past.
  3. Geez Taulia. Tied with OSU, 12 seconds left before halftime and are at the OSU 18. Throws a 4 yard pass in the middle of the field and the clock runs out. Leaving points on the field. OSU should be pretty panicked about their offense at this point imo
  4. Dumb question but on some of the payroll sites I see a note about a deferred payment of $5m to Jason Heyward for 2024. Assuming that’s legit does that count for any luxury tax calculations?
  5. I'm guessing more a function of how bad his first 3 weeks were, particularly the KC game. His QBR last week was 69.1 and this week 77.1. Over a full season, those numbers would be 6th and 3rd in the league respectively. Edit: His first 3 weeks were 21.6, 24.0 and 17.2 which are all worse than Bryce Young's season average.
  6. Fields has to average 1.58 passing TDs a game for the rest of the season to become the first Bears QB to have 30 passing TDs in one year. As strange as this sounds, he currently has the 42nd most passing TDs in a season in Bears history with 11.
  7. Any concern that once again Fields completely avoids the middle of the field? I don't know what the numbes are but it seems like 90% of his passes are outside the hashmarks and a decent number of his INTs are over the middle. Here is last night's chart
  8. It's a 2025 pick swap so there's still a possibility the gap is wider than that..but yeah. Teams were waiting for the Bears to cut him from what I've read so getting anything for him is probably a positive. Edit: Whoops this was already pointed out
  9. Return is a 2025 6th with the Bears giving up a 2025 7th lol
  10. Not sure what made me think of this but the Bears have still not won on a Sunday since Week 3 of last season against the Texans. Obviously they didn’t have an opportunity to do that this week, but strange factoid nonetheless
  11. The crazy thing is that he’s largely been held in check running the ball this year. It’s still a weapon for him of course but he’s not breaking off 80 yard TD runs like he was last year. If defenses are forced to respect his arm those running lanes are gonna be there again.
  12. I don’t think he’s all that great either but I’m gonna give him more than 4 games before I’m declaring him a bust. I think he’s proven that he’s not a complete dud but he’s trending towards being pretty mediocre
  13. How many additional yards would that have been? Probably another 30 or so and a 4th TD? 260 yards would vault him to 20th most in a game. Not sure how many also had 4 TD
  14. At the very least we honored Butkus tonight, that makes me happy
  15. Fields has had at least 211 passing yards in every game except the terrible TB game. While 200 passing yards is not exactly a high bar to clear, it does represent an improvement over last year when he averaged 149 yards per game
  16. Was it against the cowboys? I remember him having a game like that but can’t remember the specifics edit: nvm Vikings
  17. Well now the Bears get a mini-bye to get healthy and they’ll need it
  18. Will they go for a FG to put up 40? Feel like it’s close enough that you can still do that
  19. Imagine if they let him pass more in the 2nd half of games
  20. Even with the win tonight the Bears will still hold the 1st and 2nd picks of the draft. And might through the weekend because their SOS is so bad
  21. Are there any studies about Thursday games and excess injuries?
