I wanted us to move up and draft him. That said, Jayden Daniels needs to retire. He just jacked that elbow again on a broken (pretty innocent) play.


RG3 all over again...

DL Caleb Banks today:

• 33 Snaps
• 6 Total Tackles
• 1 TFL

Good to see the Banks gamble starting to pay off. He's so big he makes the other lineman look small.

Turner with a resounding sack to end it.

Nice to see Banks and Big C get some time. Seems they platooned in together a lot.

Announcers loved Jones' helmet flying off, several replays. Nary a word that is was clearly spearing. Player protection my ass... that was never a concern except for the financial liability aspect.

Reichard with the points.

On the TFL he threw the guard aside like a ragg doll.

Funny how watching other games after our game I saw a couple of helmet to helmet hits to the head called as the personal fouls they were. It seems the refs only protect players on certain teams.

Like mentioned earlier, good contributions from Banks and Citrus, but the performance Turner has given the last two weeks is incredible. If he can sustain that all year he will be an All-Pro.

I am curious how the Bears go on from here. Williams looks like he will be out a while with the hammy.

Let's enjoy today and get ready for next week! SKOL!

Yep. Defenders probably realize that. Do that same shit to Justin Jefferson and be ready for a penalty, possible ejection, fine, suspension, and a place on the Commissioner's 'List'. Addison could get sent flying into the third row and they'd just keep on playing.

Sometimes it happens so fast that it is difficult to see. A helmet flying off a rb should have been obvious.

I don't know that Jones can take many games with that kind of work load but for this game and these conditions it was the right call. I think I would have gone for it on those last few downs rather than take the field goal and be up 6, but he gambled and it payed off. Yes our defense is the real deal and played out of their minds but the offense played the right way to help the defense be able to play that way through the entire game. Rip him for some things but i'm giving him credit for this one.

And then the off-season where they fired the OL coach, and went to a different run blocking scheme.

So far, so good.

This is right on the money. Announcers were gushing over a spearing play. Had that been Mahomes getting hit there would've been a 15 yard penalty, ejection, and possible suspension. I love good hitting but that was even spearing when I was growing up.

It only helps rest the defense if you're getting 1st downs. The defense was on the field a lot yesterday because we weren't getting 1st downs.

Defense defense defense. to take a team that score 59 the week before and hold them to 3. The NFL needs to take notice.

In the wet rainy conditions the offense wasn't going to be a big factor here. the real test was keeping the Bears High Flying offense on the ground. and we did.

The weather helped.

Wentz is what he is. A Backup QB. But he managed this game well, made a couple good throws when we needed them and didn't turn the ball over.

Aaron Jones was a horse. But he's too injury prone to keep taking that much of a beating.

Nice to see Addison get his first catches of the year.

Not getting a touchdown was concerning but with the weather the way it was, I was not surprised.

Caleb Williams is very talented and hard to catch and bring down, but we had him on the run all day. He was confused and befuddled a lot.

Dallas Turner is an early favorite for DPOY. 10 pressures and 2 sacks including the "imposing his will" sack to seal the game. Isaiah Rodgers was all over the place, Redmond was HUGE and Blake Cashman quietly had a really good day too.

If Will Reichard ever gets let go by the vikings before he's 40....I will be very upset. In those conditions he made three pivotal FGs. further if he ever is let go the Bears will sign him in a minute.

I can't get over the game winning sack. The way Turner just pushed Loveland into Bagent and then wrestled Bagent to the ground. Thing of Beauty.

2.0, both games in division, Top of the division. It's early and a lot of shit can go wrong from here, but this defense is legit. Now if we can just get the offense up to speed we can have some complete games.

It's my hope we don't get complacent over the next few weeks and lose to one of more of the Bucs, Dolphins, or Saints.

Chicago still had a chance to win it on the final play. The D should not have let a backup QB lead the team down the field with little time left. But Turner made another great individual play to seal the win.

Sure McCarthy was surpassing Murray in scrimmages and stuff, but there is no guarantee a QB will improve by playing with the 1st string offense, playing with the same players.
