    Calling him OFF, to me, suggests we aren’t really sure what’s going on with him. But we know! Can I just get good performances from him and no bestie pics with Erika Kirk at Wrigley?

    It’s freaking consequential NFL football, at Soldier Field, in mid-January. It’s Ben Johnson’s first season as HC, and Caleb’s first season in his system. Just trying to step back a moment and consider how well this has gone. It’s way above expectations. We haven’t seen a football game of this level in Chicago in forever. This is going to be fun no matter what.

    I can deal with Shaw's crap. It's not like he's the first (or last) Chicago sports player with less than half a brain. Do what's needed for the W's.

    Did anyone get it on video? I might pay for that.

    Probably not. The biggest difference I saw in the Packer game between the first and second half was DA sending an extra person. Stafford is a crafty vet though. Love isn't. It seems likely Stafford will be better at seeing those coming. It's vitally important that we limit the Rams TOP with long drives. I don't think air attack / shootout is a great strategy. We've got cold weather, Trapilo gone, Rams offense to contend with and a bad defense.

    Run baby, run.

    Bears must score 30+ to have a shot in this one. I also think we will need the run game to establish long clock eating drives. Having the TOP advantage will be important.

    Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

    Trade Hoerner and lose his marvelous running 'round 3rd and home? Oh hell no.

    I thought I had gone insane thinking I totally missed that Hoerner was our SS last year.

    Bregman won the gold glove in 2024. His defense can't be that bad bruh. Last year he was 800+ OPS, 128 OPS+, and (not sure anyone cares anymore) an all star. His numbers are improvements over 2023 and 2024. So there's no indication he's falling off a cliff due to age. Look, nobody can predict this year. I was incredibly disappointed with Tucker's 2nd half last year. I didn't see that coming. Admittedly we had him as a rental but also that meant we had to replace him immediately. I just don't think the argument that Bregman's somehow a product of cheating is particularly compelling. Nor is the argument that his defense is bad, or that we are now choosing between him and Shaw since Shaw is still on the team (as of right now). Counsell creates opportunities for his bench to get play time as well. A utility guy with exceptional defense that can be plugged in strategically? Yes please. Bregman's expensive. Cubs are a huge market team and it was about damn time they spent a little money. Don't worry about the Ricketts, dude. They're fine.

    That was a clickbait article to be sure. And it worked too.

    Can't wait for Collinsworth to bag on Caleb if he misses a throw like the 4th down one. "I know it was the world's most difficult throw and nobody else would even try it, but it was off target."

    I agree. How do you piece together a 10 win season with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson? Another 10 wins with Pickett, Rudolph, and Trubisky. I mostly have a distaste for their fans (which flows from my brother in law but that’s another story). But Tomlin was good and he will coach next year if he wants to.

    That INT was grade A stinky. Who is wearing Stroud’s uniform tonight?

    Glue horse Rodgers doesn’t really need to be hit to get a sack. Sometimes he just stumbles and falls.

    Here’s Ben’s quote on it. Why the hell not? They hate us too. So what? It’ll make next year’s games even more fun. ”"Like I said before, there's a rivalry that exists between these two teams, something that I fully recognize and I'm a part of," he said. "I mean, I just... I don't like that team. So, [owner] George [McCaskey] and I have talked, and we're on the same page."

    Completion percentage is great but it seems a little bit like batting average. Sure if you make contact more often it's great, but it loses its luster if they are all singles. I can't remember where I found it, but Caleb's up there in terms of yards per completion. Sure I'd love for the Comp% to go up but only if he keeps the chunk plays intact. I don't want him obsessing over his sub 60% comp and just checking down. I don't think he will. Dude's a monster. He's looking to slay defenses all the time. That's why he doesn't run very often. He's cold as hell -- wants to rip your heart out over and over.
