Bears were doing whatever they wanted on the ground and couldn’t complete a toward pass in howling wind. With a one point lead at mid field on 2nd and 1 Caleb throws a pick. That was one of Ben’s worst play call this season because there’s very few to choose from. He’s been that good on a play to play basis that any imperfection catches me by surprise.
We know about what they won’t do than what they will do, like making a serious offer to Kyle Tucker. Trading for Joe Ryan and signing Alonso or Bregman to stay under the LT would be a huge surprise. I don’t see any way that happens.
He won’t go over the LT, and we have a historical baseline for who and their $ amount of players he’ll invest into the roster with what he’s allowed to spend. No one knows how the offseason will shake out but what are the possible big surprises that deviate from the usual status quo?
We’re supposed to shrug our shoulders when Dylan Cease signs with the Jays, who Jed allegedly “showed a lot of interest in” because he’s not worth 2016 Max Scherzer money. If they want to model themselves after the 2018-24 Braves they’ll need more star power than PCA and Michael Busch.
With the Eagles attacking the vulnerable second level and tush pushing their way to 1st downs on down and short, they’ll play keep away all game. I’d be very surprised if the bears pull this off but Ben Johnson is one of the few play callers who can match wits with Fangio..
They gave us a fortune for the right to draft Bryce Young, it’s beyond anyone’s guess what Tepper saw in him as a quarterback prospect especially with a weak roster where you can wait another year for a much stronger quarterback class and in doing so cut 2 pro bowl quarterbacks in Darnold and Mayfield. What a legendary f ck up.
Caleb, DJ, Tyrique, Darnell Wright and Luther Burden in exchange for Bryce Young. If the Bears win a superbowl David Tepper deserves to have a statue built.
Completion percentage is insignificantly correlated with qb performance and win probability when used in isolation. It’s no different than batting average. Mason Rudolph had a 23% edge in completion percentage on Sunday, the difference in the game was Caleb’s 8.03 ANY/A to Rudolph’s 4.06 ANY/A and Caleb’s 17 point edge in passer rating.
