Why are you saying the protection was there?

Brady went on & on about how quickly the ball was out - I think they said it was best in the league all year - and Williams was running a ton. Where did you see amazing pass pro?

I still think Flus is gone and should be gone.. but at years end. He fucked up by trying to cover his ass bringing Waldron in over Cliff. Warren knows it, Poles knows it.


That said, I'm not hanging this loss on Flus alone. The Packers are a better team, and are better coached so its more of a testament imo that the Bears were able to hang with them. The offensive game plan was smart and simple, kept GB's offense off the field and gave the Bears a chance at the end. All you could hope for. Even the defense came up big with two crucial stops. Its just that GB played near perfect offense outside of those two drives. I was expecting the Bears to get shelled in this game, and honestly they should have. But smart coaching on offense (for once), combined with clean disciplined play by the young QB, and a couple big stops by the defense kept them in it.


Bears literally did the only thing they could to the letter to stay in this one and it almost worked. But they just aren't good enough yet.

Now what do we have here? Can you say "fraud"

What's "fraudulent" about anything I've said about Caleb? I haven't denied that he hasn't produced the last few weeks, and he did play pretty well today when he got rid of the ball quickly, and that allowed him to let a handful of plays develop deeper down the field.

It seems like you're grasping at straws because you now know that everyone else knows you used to praise Justin and preach tolerance of growing pains and acceptance of "moral victories" after two seasons of failure and want to call Caleb a bust after 10 games.

The oline that gave up back to back sacks on the last drive of the game? Took Caleb escaping the third sack to save the game.

Yeah, you're an idiot. Go watch Fields hold the clipboard for a washed up R.Wilson in PITT,

You mean the same Justin Fields that has produced more touchdowns in 6 games than YOUR GUY "Generational Talent" Caleb has produced in 10? That Justin Fields? Just Asking Questions

Those were 100% Caleb sacks. Him being his usual retarded self.

I’ve seen some pretty mid quarterbacks light it up with protection as good as the Bears offensive line gave Caleb today. Yet it was only 19 points :(

Of course it’s never Caleb’s fault right.

No, he was below average and probably closer to just outright bad. With even mediocre quarterback play the Bears win that game.

You have examples of mid QBs lighting it up getting the ball out in 2 seconds?

_________________

The Bears have schemed this to be Caleb-proofed. The problem with that is they are basically hard capped at 20-ish points which isn’t really great.

He needs to throw the ball accurately downfield. He is pretty much a coin flip anywhere from the LOS to about 20 yards out…and past that 20 its horrific. He is like an all-time bad deep ball thrower.

BUT he sure ticks those DEI boxes for George!!!

This is where you fucked up and went too hard on the bit.

He dinked and dunked to a 95 passer rating, which is a pubic hair above average. It's was his running that pushed his game today to "good".

He also is so errant on his throws that they don’t get picked. It’s paradoxical, but if he gets a little more accurate he’ll start racking up turnovers. Now its so unclear where the ball is going to go when he throws it that even the defense can’t get under it.

If you play this every time Taylor punts you can have fun.

No, it's the usual. Can't throw the deep ball. Although today he threw it LESS over their heads. All in all, I have no complaints other than the first series. He showed heart.

It would help if the Bears "elite" defense could actually live up to its billing. The Packers had six possessions. They scored three touchdowns, were lucky the Packers went for it on fourth and six on another (and Love was one yard short of a touchdown on fourth down). The Packers could have easily just taken a field goal there. The Packers also threw and interception deep in Bear territory. Five of six Packer possessions went 60 yards or more. An elite defense doesn't give up a touchdown every other series

His accuracy is still way, way, way, below what would even be considered mediocre. He doesn’t really even try to throw more than 15 or so yards downfield at all anymore.

Maybe if he throws a touchdown pass in November I will cut him slack though. So far its been since October 13th, but yeah guys NO PROBLEM the guy is a STAR!

It’s not elite. It’s just good. Probably something like the tenth or so best in the league, and a little worse with Sweat being hurt and/or bad now and Jaquan Brisker’s brain cooked.

They kept the NFL’s ninth best offense to twenty points. That’s a fine performance for a decent defense. Yeah they’re not the 2000 Ravens, nobody says that they are.

They had six possessions and if their coach doesn't have a brain fart they should have had 23 because they would have kicked the field goal. In six possessions. A normal game has about 11 drives. The Bear offense actually did a good job of controlling the ball and the clock. If it was a regular game the way the Bear defense played they could have given up 40. It's a defense that is overrated.

This was probably the best game the offense has played for that exact reason.

The Bears have beaten two good quarterbacks the last two years, Goff and Stafford. Any top 15 QB will pick this defense apart. The Bear defense are bum slayers

Almost all throws today were right where you want them. Only one major overthrow.

We aren't talking about 4 games. We are discussing this one. He was bad the last 3 games before this.

Interesting game next week.Minnesota loves to blitz. Will the OL be able to slow it down and will thr QB make the right reads?
