Game Balls - Players bodies: Seems like disastrous injuries were avoided - Eberflus/Washington: The defense won the day, and their leadership deserves credit - Caleb Williams: like 1/4th of a game ball for not turning the ball over once against a pain in the ass defense - DeAndre Carter: Carter had...

I knew it was bad, but god damn this is some awful tape. My "favorite" is the play at about 0:42, where he gets absolutely trucked by a blitzing LB. It's one thing to have a hard time with the DL, but to get totally demolished like that by a LB? He looks like he's going to be a massive pr...

Oh no, we suck again!

Is raining on parades, like, your thing or what? Fair question. As hard as it might be to believe, I'm a natural optimist. So for years and years, I was one of those guys who would see the reasons for hope and exude high expectations as a Bears fan. I give a lot of room before you get to my trust l...

Since 2002, quarterbacks drafted No. 1 overall making their first career start are 0-14-1.

All the more satisfying when the Bears win Sunday.

Caleb is coming.

I didn't realize the Titans have a first time head coach and play caller paired with a young QB. Taking the old Bears playbook for QB development I see. Bold strategy.

Titans' Brian Callahan: You have to treat Caleb Williams with 'respect' of a No. 1 pick The Tennessee Titans hope to keep alive the string of Week 1 No. 1 overall quarterbacks starting their careers with a loss. The past 10 No. 1 QBs to start Week 1 -- Bryce Young, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Kyle...

They'll all fall in line soon enough.

Caleb is coming.

He'll be a captain next year. I think he's still meshing with the locker room after years of poisonous bullshit in Washington. Most likely. A little surprised Byard made the list. I can understand some of the reasoning to put Williams up there, but he's still a rookie and should at least play a sea...

I thought the same thing. He doesn't need to be one of the captains, but he's kinda being paid to fill that role. We have alot of strong leader types on D so it doesn't bother me too much, yet.

I'll stick to players I saw play as well. So Walter is out or he'd be my answer. I'll go with Devin Hester as the best Bear I've ever seen play. They literally had to change the rules to contain him, and he still shattered records. Has there ever been a player teams have feared more than they did ki...

No worries. There's a lot of fluff out there so I try and share anything interesting when I come across it and condense articles as writers often pad them with repeated information that's already well known, or information that's not relevant to a particular discussion, whilst providing the link to...

I think it's going to have a very similar outcome to Dalton and Fields. Glad it's Pitts problem and not ours.

Maybe they can get Tomlin fired and we can bring him to Chicago

The best back up QBs are young guys like Bagent and Reed. They have potential and you hope you catch lightning in a bottle with one. Retreads whether it's an Andy Dalton or down to a Rypien are all wastes of money. Complete and utter wastes of money. Even worse then paying a running back or off the ...

I never had a Chicago dog til I visited the city in my late 20s. I stayed not far from the stadium and it was some food truck in a park. It looked very un appetizing but I said, try it your in the city, see what it's like. I'm glad I did. Definitely lived up to the hype. Tried a few imitations here ...

He’s had a few fails (Ogun, Claypool, etc) but no one is infallible and his overall body of work has been absolutely stellar IMO Imo, his fails arent even that bad. Claypool was a miss, but understandable. We needed WRs and Claypool wasn't proven to suck yet. Losing pick 32 was just bad luck, when ...

Not to mention he's been incredibly lucky having back-to-back #1 overall picks. I shudder to think what the Bears roster might look like today if that hadn't happened. They say it's better to be lucky than good. When you're both you get the present Bears team and all the excitement that goes with i...

I hope Caleb keeps Tyson as the greatest back up in Bears history so that he can't break our hearts by being exposed. Id take a 4th in a heartbeat for him.

I think VJJ legitimately has stage fright. He does fine in practices, and even preseason. But as soon as the games count, he's all thumbs and can't catch a fucking ball. Thrown, pitched, or otherwise. Doesn't mean we should make excuses for him, it's just the way he is. For him, it's completely a m...

Nothing is more important than Caleb Williams. Just because he can make a line look better doesn't mean we should not try to have it be one of the best in football. That's the kind of thinking that led to the Packers wasting douche bag Rodgers career. If we need to cut money, cut money on the defen...

Have they taught him how to hold onto a football yet? All his other talents mean shit unless he figures out how to hold a football. Hopefully he's cut soon to make room for other moves. He doesn’t seem to track the ball well on long passes and punts. But doesn’t seem as big as issue on kickoffs. Th...

The biggest Achilles heel of this team is the Bears history on offense specifically at QB. If Caleb slays that, this is one of the best teams in the league.

Shelton is 29 but he's only been a full time starter for a year (17 games last season, 13 in 2022). So he's not exactly worn down. If he performs well this season I could see him getting a decent 3 year deal to stay. We need to see how the season plays out but if Williams pans out like we hope he's...

I answered with the correct answer.

John Jackson ends up on the PS. Quite sure.

Why? How is he even on an NFL team? 300 yards and ZERO tuds in three years of college at two different schools?

He's like a brother to Caleb. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the PS.

Nobody answered the second question And would anyone be willing to bet on equal or better quality being available for free by tomorrow? It’s just such a weird thing to be bothered by… It bothers me because it's not a Poles type move. There's a very high chance he could have got Williams for free by...

A new season, a new offense, a new franchise QB! Caleb chases Cam's rookie debut record as he breaks 400 yards passing, throws for 3 scores and rushes for another. Bears D feasts early and often giving Caleb several short fields to exploit. The dline shuts up the doubters putting pressure on the Tit...

Bears - 34
Titans - 13

Don't count out the Panthers. Thats a bad team with a bust QB. Plus it would be nice to have pick 33
