When he initially was held out, they called it a personal issue. - gvibes January 20, 2026, 18:43:49 One thing I’d like to see is snap counts go way down for our DL. - Carl Spackler January 20, 2026, 10:24:41 Yeah, I like Booker a lot but he's not great against the run. I think that - Warrin'_Illini January 20, 2026, 10:29:03 KAYDEN MCDONALD RD 1* - gvibes January 20, 2026, 10:26:33 we have reached the "Kayden and Colston" era of football stars* - Gene Parmesan January 20, 2026, 10:44:34 I’m down. I will keep yelling from the mountaintop - bjl63 January 20, 2026, 10:40:41 Works for me.* - Warrin'_Illini January 20, 2026, 10:30:51 This is who I’ve had circled for weeks and seems the most common guy mocked to us* - Carl Spackler January 20, 2026, 10:29:40 Nm - VIV January 19, 2026, 19:18:01 CNN Chief Data Analyst: "NFL coaches have it all wrong when it comes to overtime" - Orangeillini January 19, 2026, 16:42:36 I felt that way in the Niners/Chiefs Super Bowl - RVA January 19, 2026, 19:17:44 Interesting. Seems potentially different regular season vs playoff too, more likely to want the - gvibes January 19, 2026, 18:15:30 Have wondered about this, but have never seen numbers to back it up.* - voiceofreason January 19, 2026, 17:03:52 I asked about this in this thread when it happened and 3 advantages were cited. I'm not sure - Orangeillini January 19, 2026, 17:33:45 FWIW - My source for that was Andy Reid sharing his strategy post Super Bowl * - illini January 19, 2026, 22:12:21 Looks like Shanahan chose the ball specifically wanting to get the third possession if there was one - Orangeillini January 19, 2026, 22:29:24 Agree. Extra rest for d too* - John Coctostan January 19, 2026, 16:56:19 Jeff Hafley new HC of Dolphins - DanSaint January 19, 2026, 16:10:51 Good.* - VIV January 19, 2026, 19:05:47 Yuck* - Mrap24 January 19, 2026, 17:56:26 Uninspiring. 22-26 at Boston College* - bjl63 January 19, 2026, 16:29:32 Perfect fit for an uninspiring franchise. They need a miracle with Ewers or Z Wilson* - MC January 19, 2026, 16:35:26 That's a rough roster too. This one seems a little doomed* - gvibes January 19, 2026, 18:10:06 Sounds like Bienemy will go back to KC as OC if Nagy gets a HC gig * - bjl63 January 19, 2026, 14:57:30 I have a theory why DJ wasn’t going 100% on that OT INT… - timmer January 19, 2026, 14:50:32 Well done, Bears! You covered. Thank you!!! - bbonb January 19, 2026, 12:51:30 Was nice to see Kyler looking more like himself as well. Really need Jaylon to get healthy. - gvibes January 19, 2026, 12:49:23 I still can't believe he dropped all that weight midseason.* - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 12:54:23 Wait, who? I didn't hear this* - gvibes January 19, 2026, 12:54:48 He went on a fruit diet after his surgery and dropped 15-20 lbs. Which seems absolutely insane. - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 12:59:16 JFC, what a fucking idiot* - gvibes January 19, 2026, 13:00:24 agreed. i'm reserving judgement on jj until next year. that's a tough surgery for anybody let alone - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 12:51:42 Would you cut Cole Kmet and save $8.4MM against the cap? Cut Edmunds and save $15MM? - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 12:35:00 Edmunds is an absolute no brainer. I think Swift gets cut. I think Kmet stays* - gvibes January 19, 2026, 12:47:38 If you cut Swift then you need to draft a RB - bjl63 January 19, 2026, 14:17:02 It is a VERY thin draft at RB. I think Swift had a good bounceback year. - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 14:22:18 Also RBs are kind of stupid cheap. JK Dobbins was good until he got hurt, 2M. - gvibes January 19, 2026, 14:20:27 My Swift theory is that Ben hates that he has an RB that he can't trust in pass pro* - gvibes January 19, 2026, 14:18:28 Feels like the bears have too many needs to cut a known quantity. Already need to address LT - Toonces January 19, 2026, 14:16:13 Bears opponents had a 45.8% winning percentage this year. Next year it's 55% based on this year's - Orangeillini January 19, 2026, 12:23:13 true, but having 9 home games and jacksonville as one of their first place games seems to be good.* - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 13:00:22 The Bears 2025 schedule had a 54.4% win percentage in 2024* - CanHartlebHireSnider January 19, 2026, 12:33:20 Fair point. It does highlight how much volatility there can be in the league. Detroit, Minnesota, - Orangeillini January 19, 2026, 12:42:56 It’s always going to be a hard schedule because of the NFC North but it’s not a bad schedule - OB25 January 19, 2026, 12:26:19 It’s a tough schedule.* - Toonces January 19, 2026, 14:10:23 I just don’t think there’s much point in doing this exercise, so much changes. - OB25 January 19, 2026, 14:45:49 I don’t think any of the NFC south will be easy. - MC January 19, 2026, 12:44:44 Take out the NFC North and the opponent winning percentage increases to 55.8%. The Bears will - Orangeillini January 19, 2026, 12:31:51 Apparently we can free up $34+M in cap space by restructuring a couple deals - IlliniSax05 January 19, 2026, 10:56:07 Blech, Ben Devine is the worst. And I'd avoid touching Grady or Moore's deals if possible. - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 11:23:06 Yes, do all that!* - Mrap24 January 19, 2026, 11:10:58 Man I’m still gutted by this loss. Illinois - NC level of sadness* - CoronaTheirAss January 19, 2026, 10:43:47 Im down today but knowing you have your franchise QB helps soften the blow* - illini21 January 19, 2026, 12:01:10 This felt like an Illini basketball Round of 32 loss to me. - Ron McDon January 19, 2026, 11:59:44 sweet 16 for me.* - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 12:52:26 The Bears were +26 in point differential, 15th in the league. Very average and could have easily - Orangeillini January 19, 2026, 11:21:02 last week it was house money, now people are angst-y - Sammich January 19, 2026, 11:57:41 well, it's not very often the stars line up like this, especially with tying the game - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 12:53:30 IMO, the biggest delta for improvement is still #18. - uofi1998 January 19, 2026, 11:24:56 didn't he lead the league in drops?* - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 12:54:09 I saw a fantasy report that had him as the QB with most points missed during the season d/t drops* - DocWalk20 January 19, 2026, 14:45:41 Agreed.* - VIV January 19, 2026, 11:45:09 PFF has us with four drops, but yeah, there were more than that that hit hands* - gvibes January 19, 2026, 11:31:58 I only know because he was live texting our little group chat... - uofi1998 January 19, 2026, 11:33:21 after some reflection, i'm surprisingly ok - VIV January 19, 2026, 10:46:44 I feel like I should be gutted because the defense is probably going to somehow be worse - gvibes January 19, 2026, 10:52:17 Last night was a massive kick in the ballsack... - uofi1998 January 19, 2026, 10:53:58 Yeah the thing that’s keeping me going is Caleb still has a lot of room to grow - illini21 January 19, 2026, 11:59:28 Thinking about what you can do on defense, it’s a pretty daunting task. - OB25 January 19, 2026, 10:28:07 I think I'd just roll with Benedet or Thuney at LT. - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 11:34:31 I was wrong on Dexter, I misread and thought his contract was up. - OB25 January 19, 2026, 11:36:46 Got it, yeah I dunno what to think about Stevenson.* - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 11:39:58 Yeah, lots of work to do there. Byard, Brisker, Billings, CGJ, Wright all FAs - gvibes January 19, 2026, 10:37:19 Brisker was horrible this year* - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 10:31:32 He was pretty awesome last night from what I saw... - uofi1998 January 19, 2026, 10:44:33 He was awesome last night. But they can’t afford to give him a big contract - Mrap24 January 19, 2026, 11:15:56 Both he and Byard are FAs so safety is a big need if both walk* - bjl63 January 19, 2026, 11:26:08 my gut is they keep brisker. byard is getting old and slow.* - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 12:55:33 I'd be shocked if Brisker gets much in FA. Injury issues + not good. - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 11:25:07 You guys know a lot better than me... he just jumped off the screen last night* - uofi1998 January 19, 2026, 11:26:16 He was absolutely amazing last night. He was not good for the rest of the season.* - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 11:35:10 I’m terrified the Bengals are going to hand him a contract based on one good night.* - voiceofreason January 19, 2026, 10:49:46 Bro, the Bengals could give you and me contracts to play safety and it would be an upgrade* - uofi1998 January 19, 2026, 10:52:16 You aren’t wrong. - voiceofreason January 19, 2026, 11:03:09 I had a TKR in June, and I'm still at least good enough for the 2-deep* - uofi1998 January 19, 2026, 11:24:09 Oh, he was awesome last night. He was pretty much straight ass the rest of the year. - gvibes January 19, 2026, 10:48:54 I hope Odunze was just playing hurt most of the year, because he kind of sucks. - gvibes January 19, 2026, 10:24:33 I don’t think Rome whiffed. Swift didn’t run the ball to where it was designed - CanHartlebHireSnider January 19, 2026, 10:39:13 He's a perfect encapsulation of this pass game - VIV January 19, 2026, 10:26:44 bienemy to interview for chiefs oc. nagy must be getting the titans job.* - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 9:10:43 biggs thinks the offseason focus should be on a pass rusher and lt.* - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 9:01:18 olin claims the switch in the line really hurt the run game, especially in short yardage. - Ari Gold January 19, 2026, 8:55:59 The defense played so well but two plays confound me - illini January 19, 2026, 8:23:55 I was yelling about that 2nd one before it ever happened. - Illiniphil January 19, 2026, 8:31:51 There were several plays where we had 2 on 3, I'm shocked they didn't do more to take - gvibes January 19, 2026, 10:59:52 The sting has subsided some. Still hurts bc we were so close but man it was a fun year* - Mrap24 January 19, 2026, 8:23:42 Yep. Fun year and i have a lot of confidence that we'll be back. - illini21 January 19, 2026, 8:58:58 As “rebuilding” years go, you can’t really do much better. - PapaDels January 19, 2026, 7:51:13 Perfect for their move to Gary!* - ATL January 19, 2026, 8:54:34 i didn't realize you even watched football* - VIV January 19, 2026, 9:45:48 Just need a WR1 that gives a shit on every play* - ibdoc January 19, 2026, 8:00:01 I think we have one in Burden * - meanjeans January 19, 2026, 9:38:52 I like him a lot and I hope that’s true* - PapaDels January 19, 2026, 10:06:30 Yeah, would love an elite receiver as well as help on the defensive front. - PapaDels January 19, 2026, 8:10:51 Think the last thing the Bears need to do is invest more in WR. - Carl Spackler January 19, 2026, 8:34:50 I agree with your priority. But I’d still love a WR1 that is better than league average * - PapaDels January 19, 2026, 8:52:08 I think Rome and Burden and Loveland will be just fine going forward* - bjl63 January 19, 2026, 9:01:16 Agreed. I don't think he's a number 1 but i'm surprised people are giving up on Rome already* - illini21 January 19, 2026, 9:02:11 I’m specifically talking about replacing Moore with a better #1. - PapaDels January 19, 2026, 10:04:46 Sorry, wasn’t specifically talking about you. Lots of posts below about Rome* - illini21 January 19, 2026, 11:53:35 How long have you been a Bears/Illinois fan? &#128514;* - opey8 January 19, 2026, 9:15:20 Waking up, I don’t even really mind the loss, what bothers me is wasting that miracle play - meanjeans January 19, 2026, 7:29:11 Same. Reminds me of Mickelson’s shot around the tree at Augusta then missing the putt. - PapaDels January 19, 2026, 7:47:09 Hey at least we know we’ve got our QB for the next decade* - illini21 January 19, 2026, 6:59:44 Caleb is a dude and Bears have the best qb in the division for the next 10 years* - opey8 January 19, 2026, 7:01:55 up close and personal angle of the Kmet TD... - Orangeillini January 18, 2026, 23:48:13 traveled 51.2 yards in the air per NextGenStats* - Orangeillini January 18, 2026, 23:56:07 Off his back foot, into a 3 foot catch circle. Unbelievable.* - Illiniphil January 19, 2026, 8:33:09 Don’t know if there will ever be a 2016 equivalent, but this was like the 2015 Cubs season for me. - OB25 January 18, 2026, 23:03:17 This is a takeaway from a lot of bear fan tonight. Big 2015 Cubs vibes * - MC January 18, 2026, 23:27:49 I think that's a great comparison* - RSMBob January 18, 2026, 23:04:38 For all the announcer bitching, Collinsworth seemed suitably complimentary of caleb* - gvibes January 18, 2026, 22:21:00 Brisker played one of the best games I’ve seen a defender play - AintHatin January 18, 2026, 22:06:18 Yes, now someone wish on that and give him a big contract that's not us.* - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:19:46 Word!* - MtHoodIllini January 18, 2026, 22:15:04 And then we get to witness Indiana’s coronation tomorrow - timmer January 18, 2026, 21:54:42 only college to have undefeated basketball and football championship teams* - bbonb January 18, 2026, 22:04:18 Chase Daniel’s take on the INT - illini21 January 18, 2026, 21:47:23 DJ getting absolutely dragged - PapaDels January 19, 2026, 7:57:00 @terrellowens That interception was NOT on Caleb!!What in THE HELL was the receiver thinking/doing?* - Orangeillini January 18, 2026, 22:03:28 So disappointing after how much he had redeemed himself the last month or so* - OB25 January 18, 2026, 21:49:34 Fuck him. I hope some other team wishes on his redemption and the Bears get out of that deal. - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:11:30 Problem is he has little value. Rome is the guy we have to try and move* - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 22:14:28 DJ has 0 value, he's not worth his contract. Just hoping someone wishes on him. - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:18:29 If Vegas says we want rome and your 1 for Crosby, do you say yes?* - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 22:23:51 In a heartbeat. But that wouldn’t be enough.* - OB25 January 18, 2026, 22:59:16 I think so. - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:27:46 Wait, you’d give up an early pick???? - bjl63 January 18, 2026, 22:33:40 We're good now, we don't have early picks :)* - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:54:08 I agree with everything you said. I hope we can trade DJ, I just can’t see many teams wanting to - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 22:32:33 Yeah I think there's a high likelihood he's on the team next year.* - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:55:34 Correct, I just hope we don’t have to give up draft capital to dump the ass contract* - gvibes January 18, 2026, 22:21:43 Come on* - illini21 January 18, 2026, 22:18:11 We need to move Moore because we gave him a 110M contract.* - gvibes January 18, 2026, 22:15:51 I agree but no one is going to take on that contract. Not smart team that is* - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 22:22:31 I think someone will. Not a lot of real WRs out there * - gvibes January 18, 2026, 22:43:42 Still hard to shake dogging it in a playoff game.* - SurfTheBoneyard January 18, 2026, 22:45:03 Thank goodness some are stupid.* - SurfTheBoneyard January 18, 2026, 22:40:39 Loveland never returning from what I assume was a concussion was killer late* - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 21:41:00 Bummer he wasn't in to drop the game tying TD* - Chuck Woodaby January 18, 2026, 21:49:42 he got a bad case of the drops the last month of the season.* - Ari Gold January 18, 2026, 22:50:53 Luther Burden had the same number of tackles as Montez Sweat* - Orangeillini January 18, 2026, 21:34:54 We should cut Sweat. Would save a lot of money* - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 21:44:19 He was great last week. He’s overpaid but still one of the best we have on defense. - OB25 January 18, 2026, 21:53:16 Not that much, like 7M or something. He’s not great but still worth that* - gvibes January 18, 2026, 21:47:08 Post 6/1 cut saves you 21 million and you take of 4 mil of dead cap* - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 22:13:46 It is so weird that the 2 major cap sites are so far off on his contract details.* - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:20:21 I think you probably have to cut Edmonds too. 15 mil in savings* - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 22:27:39 Edmunds is a no doubt cap cut, IMO* - Carl Spackler January 18, 2026, 22:55:58 And that would crush an already mediocre pass rush - bjl63 January 18, 2026, 21:49:11 and one more than Grady Jarrett lol* - Orangeillini January 18, 2026, 21:40:10 I also thought mcvay had an awful night play calling * - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 21:26:02 I wish we could have taken more advantage* - shua January 18, 2026, 21:27:16 84 season we got crushed by the 49’ers. 86 season we lost to the redskins - TarheelIllini January 18, 2026, 21:19:57 Miracles aside, props to the defense tonight and Cairo was solid as always* - RSMBob January 18, 2026, 21:19:31 Looking at those NBC replays, doesn't look like we even had a short route on that last pick - illini January 18, 2026, 21:16:53 All-22 - RVA January 18, 2026, 21:38:13 Seems like DJ was really the only option on the play and he wasn’t going hard - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 21:46:35 Check it down to 85. Or the back* - gvibes January 18, 2026, 21:47:51 Kmet was in the flat, no clue about coverage since I'm only seeing broadcast replays - RVA January 18, 2026, 21:27:48 Frustrating part of the play was that was his best pocket of the game. * - illini January 18, 2026, 21:34:13 Caleb does not like to run. I thought he would do it more in playoffs but no* - gvibes January 18, 2026, 21:30:51 definitely hurt in some of those short yardage situations.* - Ari Gold January 18, 2026, 22:53:42 Yeah I don’t get it at all. Best thing would have Caleb trying to get something with his feet* - OB25 January 18, 2026, 21:26:08 Wasn’t Ben’s best day play calling* - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 21:22:04 I take back what I said before. - voiceofreason January 18, 2026, 21:13:44 Man this one hurts. Defense played great. Offense was blah and Ben’s playing calling was poor - Mrap24 January 18, 2026, 21:11:19 Swift + Monegai had 32 total carries for 112 yards, only 3.5 per carry. Such a struggle.* - Orangeillini January 18, 2026, 21:10:49 yes. add that to the list. put too much on caleb.* - Ari Gold January 18, 2026, 21:11:48 This one wasn’t supposed to hurt. It was house money and I fully expected a loss. - OB25 January 18, 2026, 21:10:15 I know the Seahawks would have been tough, but I wish we had the chance :( * - shua January 18, 2026, 21:40:48 Yep. That hurts. * - harb January 18, 2026, 21:24:04 Yeah, completely catastrophic. Was wide open this year and we blew it.* - Toonces January 18, 2026, 21:14:22 Fuck is all I have to say* - CoronaTheirAss January 18, 2026, 21:09:30 Damn. Fun season.* - Ron McDon January 18, 2026, 21:08:39 So many mistakes and points left off the board.
