Bears thread 13

[patryk7754]

That's a typical bears loss most seasons. This bears team is different.

I think this speaks to the culture Johnson has brought in. Instead of expecting the worst, they expect the best.

What a win! They tried to hard to give it away, but WAS did them one better with that last fumble. All they had to do is hand it off and then punt and they win the game 9 time out of 10. Instead Daniels coughs it up, Swift has a big run, they convert a big 3rd down, and Moody drills the easy kick.

Never doubted it

Goddamn if you squint we look like one of the better ballclubs. We caught a couple breaks the last couple games. How bad is WAS that they can't hang onto the ball in the clutch? Maybe we don't have to live and die by big games from Caleb. The last couple games he was in the mid to above average range, and we still won. Don't know what to make of that.

I know I was expecting the worst. DJ's offside, that terrible call on Benedet that cost a TD, Zacheaus drop, Briskers penalty on 3rd down, the missed 4th down play- but in the end, they kept fighting and WAS gave them a chance and they took it.

Caleb really needs to get more consistent. So frustrating he’s not good at basic passes. Once he gets over that, we will have a legit offense.

Defensively, we need to get better at forcing three and outs. Seems like it’s either a turnover or the other team scores, the majority of the time

Caleb is going to need some seasoning. He throws the ball too hard a lot of times, and just misses guys. Contrasted to Daniels, who looks so poised and calm in the pocket, even when there's pressure. He's so smooth. But I think Caleb does have an extra level. If they just correct the mistakes, and he settles down a little, he could be awesome.

Still mad about that very winnable Vikings game. This team could easily be 4-1. But there's definite room for optimism!!

Next 4 are against the Saints, Ravens, Bengals and Giants. I might say with confidence that the Bears are the favorite in all of those games and could go up to 7-2. Although Lamar will be back and the Giants are looking semi-legit.

[Dresden]

I have not been impressed with Duvernay at all.

Bears kickoff coverage and returns both need a lot of work. I don't think we had one good return all night, whereas WAS was getting it out to the 40 on just about every kick.

4-2 in 2025

[Dresden]

It's so nice to be able to run the ball for a change. You could see them gaining more and more confidence in Swift as the game went on. They were opening some nice holes for him, and he made the most of it. Not to mention that 55 yard TD catch, that should have been about a 10 yard play. That made up for that easy wide open TD we gave them earlier.

[Dresden]

Even Nashon Wright got some redemption- he had a few bad penalties and gave up some big plays, but fell on that loose ball at the end.

I only saw one play given up by Tyrique all night- a pretty sizable one, but overall, a solid game for him.

Forphukssake !!! What a mess glad we got the win and Swift finally balled out

Swift was good. But I want as much Monangai (and Burden) as physically possible

[Dresden]

Our pass rush starting showing some life in the 4th quarter, finally. Sweat had some pressures and a deflected pass.

All you're going to give Swift is "good"? 14 rushes, 108 yards, 7.7 ypc, and 2 catches for 67 yards and a TD.

Nice to see a bunch of our MIA dudes back too.

That one hurt, but a young team is going to have some of those. We're lucky we won these last two. Damn lucky.

And yes, those next 4 all look winnable, but it's not going to be easy.

Shemar sighting !!!

Very curious to see how this defense looks with guys finally coming back

[TheGOATRises007]

That is a fantastic win

[Dresden]

Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Mike Penix all had big games for the Falcons tonight, and they beat the Bills.

I don’t know what Dennis Allen is coaching in coverage. The blown coverage s in this game, and Dominique Robinson covering guys with 20 numbers off the line of scrimmage had me contemplating homicide
