Dalton makes two tackles.

Bears 30
Panthers 16

Offense was crap first two quarters but the halftime was not wasted . Bears O avoided their sickly first half miscues and focused on the shit to be done - coaches showed signs of actually coaching.

Complementary.

Long ways to go but things are looking significantly better after today.

Kramer and RoJo, yes sir Mr. Poles, coming right up, sir!

one two buckle my shoe

4th down play was straight out of the "Chicago Dancing Bears" offensive repertoire.

Bears O is an ugly work in progress with collective leadership deficiencies and squandered player proficiencies.

Now that there are three weeks of data to work with, I have two additional programs to predict results (3 weeks allows the algorithm to function, degrees of freedom and all that, but really aren't enough observations to get good results). The program that relies heavily on the previous season has B...

Poles takes Eberflus and Waldron to the woodshed.

Bears 23
Rams 20

So today I read in The Athletic that Trace Armstrong is Waldron's agent.

Wasn't Trace Armstrong the agent who wrangled Getsky from the Packers?

OC Panic o meter is pegged out high on my screen - eyeballs bugging out.

For anyone worrying about Caleb this early, perhaps this might help settle the nerves a little: Passing stats for second career start: Caleb Williams: 23/37, 174 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT, 51.0 passer rating Peyton Manning: 21/33, 188 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT, 51.1 passer rating Tom Brady: 12/24, 86 yards, 0 TD...

Defense and ST somehow bail out this abysmal offense.

Bears win 23-20

Maybe Flus the Teacher can sit Waldron down and make him understand how to counter the blitz.

Gotta love these underdogs.

Bears win 23-20.

Velus and his signature move one more time..

Sayers and Sweetness.

Latest injury news: Keenan Allen was back today after his "cleats" issue and so was Ryan Bates. The only players not participating at practice were Zacch Pickens and Roschon Johnson, so it seems the issue that forced Teven Jenkins out of the last session wasn't anything too serious. There...

12 wins.

Because the kid at Subway.

Bears defense will dominate throughout.

Chicago 33
Tennessee 10

This says Poles was only in if there was an extension, which is better. I love me some Poles, but when he told the folks at Hard Knocks that he would never put the Bears in a situation where we gave up draft capital for a player that wasn't secured contractually - I almost barfed. Cause he did exac...

Bad karma for Harbaugh. His championship days are over.

Oh come on man. :) You know that Rocky and Apollo Creed became friends right? Ever see 2010? We were in space with the Soviets and we became friends. Rodgers isn’t a threat anymore. He seems like an interesting dude. I mean yeah, he kind of wrecked Chicago football for what like 12 years? But that’...

Send him directly to GB, if at all possible.

First, the starter should always start the game.

Second, I think this kind of stuff should be over and done with by the time they get to the Tennessee game.

I know it’s not an ‘either or’ choice. Lots of people took the position of criticising me when the choice was lose to GB but stay in the race for #1 pick or beat GB and probably forfeit the number 1 pick. I took the position that I want to beat GB and forget #1 pick and a lot of people criticised m...

I honestly don’t care if we never beat the Packers again as long as we become regular playoff competitors and Super Bowl winners I can live with that too. More Superbowls trophies in Chicago's case is the area that will really stick in Green Spray's craw. :bs: This is absurd. Bears are gonna beat t...

I would consider 10 wins an incredibly successful season. I don't think it's a championship-level team yet, simply due to having a rookie QB, but I do think they will compete for a wildcard. The NFC North is competitive, so I wouldn't completely rule out winning it. The Bears were one victory again...

Oh dear, @The Marshall Plan you do continue to spout the same old bunkum to defend your dislike for Eberflus. His record as a HC is dismal. Yes there are multiple reasons for that. Given those "multiple reasons" his record as HC isn't dismal. His first season results can be ignored for ob...

Objectively, a winning season looks to be within a reasonable expectation.

Poles' luck between now and then might even get Bears into double-digit wins, but that's a pretty optimistic prediction and I'm going to stay with the 9 win projection for the time being.

Two days ago my pup woke me super early and for a few minutes I got to watch 3 red foxes playing down at the end of my driveway where it ties in with the main county road. They looked to be all the same size, which maybe indicates they were all pups. Today I got a close look at the culvert under my ...
