This is such a great picture, would love to get a framed print of it… - OB25 January 13, 2026, 16:06:13
- Do we know what year/game this pic was from?* - RSMBob Yesterday, 11:19:37
  - It's definitely this year and I assume it's from Saturday night* - UIHuskie Yesterday, 11:24:42
    - has the wildcard logos at the 25. it's from saturday. * - VIV Yesterday, 11:30:29
      - O&B lights on the colonnades, on the Field... gotta be last Saturday. - osklister Yesterday, 11:48:56
- I know it's in vain but I like how everyone agrees that Soldier Field is an awesome site - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 11:10:18
  - It looks great in a drone shot, but it’s a terrible site from a practical standpoint. - OB25 Yesterday, 11:58:37
    - It's a cluster but if the city/state had their act together there would be transp. solutions. - gullit Yesterday, 12:11:19
      - It's definitely not the city/state that is holding up that project, which is not going "nowhere" - longsnapper Yesterday, 13:02:41
        
        that lot is where the bears stadium should have gone* - VIV Yesterday, 14:02:46
      - We should just build a parking lot on the water.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 12:28:48
        
        Right after we build the airport in the lake... well, parking lots are a natural. - osklister Yesterday, 12:52:21
  - the site is fantastic - VIV Yesterday, 11:33:06
    - Our QB is the Iceman. We need to keep an outdoor stadium for at least the length of his reign.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 11:47:57
      - no. just no - IlliniSax05 Yesterday, 13:13:15
      - we wont* - VIV Yesterday, 11:54:47
        
        Found the NW Indiana Hoosier lover.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 11:58:48
        
        .......wat* - VIV Yesterday, 12:50:38
- i had this on a poster in my room growing up - VIV Yesterday, 10:21:40
- Just save your money until you can get one with the Hammond, IN skyline in the background.* - KingTalkyTiki Yesterday, 9:08:02
  - ooo - RVA Yesterday, 10:46:37
- It's great but wish they had angled it differently to capture more of the skyline.* - Warrin'_Illini January 13, 2026, 16:57:44
I know this is a LONG shot, but anyone know of a Bears bar in Fort Lauderdale? - DiamondDazzle January 13, 2026, 14:14:53
bears are playing on sunday at 5:30p.* - Ari Gold January 12, 2026, 22:18:35
- Going to be frigid* - Mrap24 January 12, 2026, 22:41:59
  - Sunday Mostly cloudy, with a high near 19. Sunday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 9. Brrr.* - Orangeillini January 12, 2026, 22:44:44
- on NBC. Chris Collinsworth alert. :grimace: * - Orangeillini January 12, 2026, 22:28:24
  - The. Worst.* - Herman Blume January 12, 2026, 22:34:27
So Zach Tom on the Packers has a partial patellar tear and has to have surgery. - Carl Spackler January 12, 2026, 21:24:35
thinking about Caleb last year and now. - memyselfandillini January 12, 2026, 19:13:04
Has TJ Edwards played his last snap for the Bears? He was too slow before the injury.* - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 14:55:49
- What was the extent of his ankle injury? Has there been a report out? - ibdoc January 12, 2026, 15:24:11
  - Fractured fibula* - Carl Spackler January 12, 2026, 15:26:28
    - Believe it or not, that's ideal in the circumstance as long as no ligament damage. - ibdoc January 13, 2026, 9:23:19
- He costs money to cut this offseason, we are going to keep him on through next season. - gvibes January 12, 2026, 15:01:23
  - Do we want him to play? The backup has been better. Maybe they can do an injury settlement.* - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 15:17:45
    - Not really disagreeing, but backup isn't under contract for next season* - gvibes January 12, 2026, 15:29:15
      - IC. So many needs already piling up for the offseason, I'm sad about Ozzy. - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 15:32:54
        
        I'd be good with a 2 yrr/8M contract for Jackson* - gvibes January 12, 2026, 15:49:24
I still get a little jolt in the pit of my stomach every time I watch the last play… - OB25 January 12, 2026, 14:54:15
- yea totally, catch it or bat it down..not sure what he was doing there. - ijustkrushalot January 12, 2026, 15:34:38
it's a small thing, but also a huge thing. CW taking that extra second in the game ball - John Coctostan January 12, 2026, 12:57:39
- When he flipped the game ball to Ben Johnson after the shout out it got me in my feels - illini21 January 12, 2026, 13:02:54
I went down a Matt Stafford rabbit hole. He's only played in 4 games with a sub-30 starting temp - VIV January 12, 2026, 11:32:16
- On the flip side, Adams is used to it and Nacua seems built in a lab for cold weather games. - OB25 January 12, 2026, 11:45:16
- crazy. seems almost impossible to not have one @gb or @chi for all those years* - John Coctostan January 12, 2026, 11:38:18
  - Also played his home games in a dome* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 12, 2026, 11:43:42
  - probably goes back to how infrequently inter-division teams faced each other in the playoffs - IlliniSax05 January 12, 2026, 11:40:06
    - that includes regular season as well* - reggiedunlop January 12, 2026, 15:31:13
Bears season of dreams magic continues: Stafford has a sprained index finger on - voiceofreason January 12, 2026, 10:39:25
Packers expected to keep Lafleur - biclops January 12, 2026, 10:10:03
- If he cannot figure out the postseason thing, this will be good news for the rest of the NFC - MC January 12, 2026, 10:53:43
- Damn* - OB25 January 12, 2026, 10:50:20
- Really hope Hafley gets a HC gig* - AintHatin January 12, 2026, 10:29:45
  - Get Hafley and Flores out of this division pls* - gvibes January 12, 2026, 10:30:45
    - I wonder how many teams want to hire a DC in the current climate - Sammich January 12, 2026, 10:35:11
      - most of the "hot candidates" this cycle are DCs, though. - VIV January 12, 2026, 10:51:23
        
        Well there's one offensive mind rocketing up the carousel who's near and dear to all of us* - RVA January 12, 2026, 11:14:20
        
        Kind of wonder by McVay's actual OC doesn't seem to get looks* - gvibes January 12, 2026, 11:45:30
      - I think people can talk themselves into Mike MacDonald as the model. - gvibes January 12, 2026, 10:40:58
        
        that's what a fool believes* - VIV January 12, 2026, 10:45:02
        
        I am 100% on the hire elite (or even just decent?) OC as HC train, I agree. - gvibes January 12, 2026, 11:01:44
- Goddamit, I was hoping they would do something super dumb* - gvibes January 12, 2026, 10:19:42
- Unless they can get Harbaugh it's probably the right call.* - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 10:17:21
  - As a Packer fan if they fired LaFleur for Harbaugh I'd be pissed* - opey8 January 12, 2026, 10:34:45
    - Why no Harbaugh, too retread-y? Seems like a very good coach who maybe needs a new challenge. - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 10:47:14
      - ooo - IlliniSax05 January 12, 2026, 11:08:37
        
        That is something. McCarthy had prime Arod in a bad division. Best I got.* - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 11:12:24
        
        meh, JH's got a 2x league MVP and a division that includes the Browns and Bengals - IlliniSax05 January 12, 2026, 11:16:34
        
        The comparison to McCarthy is a bit sobering but I just think he's a huge dumbass. - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 13:08:46
        
        and believe it or not, Harbaugh is a year older!* - Sammich January 12, 2026, 11:09:52
      - To me, feels like the game has moved past the CEO-type coach, I don't know. - gvibes January 12, 2026, 11:04:49
        
        He had a really good track record finding/hiring good coordinators - DT January 12, 2026, 11:45:21
watching the ending (again), that Packer injury at 30 seconds really could... - shua January 12, 2026, 10:05:45
- It was a genuine injury, on the last play botched snap GB had a backup guard at center - RVA January 12, 2026, 11:11:24
- I think they lost a couple of seconds. Spike wasn't going to take 10 seconds.* - Chicago1995 January 12, 2026, 10:20:51
  - Disagree. The play on which he got hurt was a 20 yard completion. - GMAW January 12, 2026, 10:29:12
    - Yeah this is my thought too.* - Carl Spackler January 12, 2026, 11:14:01
- They gotta change that rule. It wasn’t intentional, but a team can totally hack that.* - Carl Spackler January 12, 2026, 10:06:54
  - Hook and hold! Hook and hold! - memyselfandillini January 12, 2026, 13:05:12
  - If there's no run off, that's what a team will hack. - Chicago1995 January 12, 2026, 10:21:50
    - It’ll be close + saves them a down. Need a larger time penalty at the least* - Carl Spackler January 12, 2026, 10:25:59
  - I felt like that killed them, they were on the front foot and would have gotten a few seconds back - ijustkrushalot January 12, 2026, 10:08:47
    - Longer run off. Probably can’t do a penalty or loss of down, but I’d be open to it.* - Carl Spackler January 12, 2026, 10:27:07
Rams have played 1 game all season with temp <50. week 13 loss at CAR - John Coctostan January 12, 2026, 10:05:03
- The '88 NFC championship game destroyed my ability to pin my hopes on cold weather - Sammich January 12, 2026, 10:24:22
  - bingo. Wind chill of -26 and the 49ers carved up the bears in "Bear Weather" 28-3* - VIV January 12, 2026, 10:53:06
    - Jim mcmahon practically played that game from a wheelchair* - apusikam January 12, 2026, 11:08:51
  - Stafford also played in the NFC North for years - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 12, 2026, 10:26:50
    - Rams are 0-1 in sub 50 degree games this year - illini January 12, 2026, 10:45:14
      - Unlike GMAW's point below, that's not enough of a sample size to mean anything* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 12, 2026, 10:46:08
        
        I agree but saw it so threw it out there. * - illini January 12, 2026, 11:25:37
    - He did, but he's been largely terrible in those games* - GMAW January 12, 2026, 10:29:56
      - He was also on some really terrible Lions teams in that time frame* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 12, 2026, 10:46:51
        
        Stafford in cold weather games in his career: - GMAW January 12, 2026, 11:12:59
        
        Ok, now I'm convinced - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 12, 2026, 11:26:05
- Agreed* - illini21 January 12, 2026, 10:11:34
One of my kids pulled his hamstring jumping up and down celebrating the win. Raising em right* - gvibes January 12, 2026, 9:35:55
This Bear team will go down as the second most memorable team in my lifetime - TarheelIllini January 12, 2026, 5:58:54
- Well the 2006 team went to the Super Bowl, and had a memorable identity, players, and moments* - RVA January 12, 2026, 10:54:01
- I can't go there yet.. just still way too much unfamiliarity with a lot of the team for me - RSMBob January 12, 2026, 9:36:38
I have a busy work week ahead of me but all I’m gonna want to do is comb through the Penske file* - OB25 January 11, 2026, 23:51:19
- Indeed, what a weekend.* - Warrin'_Illini January 12, 2026, 8:41:59
Yesssss. Bears are Sunday. * - VIV January 11, 2026, 22:11:28
- Weird that they wouldn’t just go ahead and put the Rams-Bears at night. Clearly - voiceofreason January 11, 2026, 22:13:11
  - Gonna guess CBS has first choice of timeslots this weekend? Maybe? - osklister January 12, 2026, 9:18:30
  - I don’t know that you automatically put the better game at night - QcIlliniFan January 12, 2026, 8:45:18
  - Are times set? * - MC January 11, 2026, 22:30:22
    - No. Not until after the Monday Night game* - AintHatin January 11, 2026, 22:33:33
    - Times announced after tomorrows game* - Mrap24 January 11, 2026, 22:33:28
The pearl-clutching from Packers fans and media about Ben Johnson is just delightful* - OB25 January 11, 2026, 22:09:56
- I've not seen this...has anybody nationally really commented on it?* - JFG January 12, 2026, 12:57:39
- I nearly posted this exact same thing earlier - IlliniSax05 January 11, 2026, 22:17:33
  - Right, and the idea that McCaskeys will be pissed at Ben for saying it. - gvibes January 12, 2026, 10:21:20
Bears open as significant home dogs next week (+4.5)* - OB25 January 11, 2026, 19:22:14

  - Current Super Bowl winner odds on FanDuel - Orangeillini January 11, 2026, 22:20:40
  - Rams have scored more than 30 points in 9 of their last 12 games * - meanjeans January 11, 2026, 20:48:29
- That is an absurd line considering it will be cold and possibly snowing.* - voiceofreason January 11, 2026, 19:50:09
  - It’s very difficult to see a scenario where the Bears can even moderately contain their passing game - OB25 January 11, 2026, 19:58:43
    - Maybe in the face of this high powered offense we say fuck it and air it out all over the place - meanjeans January 11, 2026, 20:51:26
- biggs thinks it will be saturday.* - Ari Gold January 11, 2026, 19:34:32
  - MRap said the same thing.* - Mrap24 January 11, 2026, 19:42:46
  - Would be weird to see play Sunday considering 49ers played today. And Bears/Rams - MC January 11, 2026, 19:40:29
- Current weather prediction snow showers during day, high of 20, low of 6.* - SurfTheBoneyard January 11, 2026, 19:26:13

        Busta Rhymes; just as good as ever. - osklister January 12, 2026, 9:20:29
- Would be brutal because that’s not a position they can afford to invest resources in this offseason* - OB25 January 11, 2026, 13:56:54
  - Agreed. Really messes up the off-season plans if you have a hole at LT.* - Toonces January 11, 2026, 14:18:45
  - I mean he’s pretty definitely not playing next season at least* - Herman Blume January 11, 2026, 14:01:57
    - The first thing I heard said it’s a 6 month timetable, but I’m assuming that is incorrect* - OB25 January 11, 2026, 14:13:08
    - Simmons was playing in 11 months. Who knows* - gvibes January 11, 2026, 14:04:51
- I’m so happy right now but that would be terrible. Ozzy was a dude this year.* - Toonces January 11, 2026, 13:31:32
- Though Marc Colombo's injury was different, if anyone was thinking back to that one. - gvibes January 11, 2026, 13:21:04
- Bummer. He looked pretty promising. Hopefully Benedet is a dude* - illini21 January 11, 2026, 13:16:31
  - Sorry, he’s a wide receiver now* - Herman Blume January 11, 2026, 13:39:13
- I think the tweet I saw earlier said that if it’s a full tear it’s even lower* - Herman Blume January 11, 2026, 13:15:49
  - The main study on this topic does not support that conclusion though the sample - Orangeillini January 11, 2026, 14:17:04
    - Pfft you and your studies and facts and data* - Herman Blume January 11, 2026, 14:52:48

- Noticed that too and thought the same* - TarheelIllini January 11, 2026, 12:13:54
- Assuming Burden ran the wrong route, still puzzling why Caleb threw it straight to the defender - Orangeillini January 11, 2026, 10:55:48
  - Burden was supposed to run an in route to that spot is the presumption.* - Carl Spackler January 11, 2026, 11:02:08
    - Right. Seems like football knowers on twitter universally think that was a Burden fuck up* - gvibes January 11, 2026, 11:14:46
      - Richard Sherman mentioned it during halftime as well - IlliniSax05 January 11, 2026, 11:17:06
  - Well if Burden was supposed to run a deep post, which is the assumption - IlliniSax05 January 11, 2026, 11:01:33
    - That’s what Gonzalez or maybe Fitzgerald said on the postgame* - Herman Blume January 11, 2026, 13:19:26
- It is kind of nice to be able correct assume that any confusion involving Burden is 100% Burden's - gvibes January 11, 2026, 10:54:53
I had to go back and watch the 4th. Random things - John Coctostan January 11, 2026, 10:35:07

- LaFleur's handshake was pretty brief after he won earlier this season... - Orangeillini January 11, 2026, 9:30:29

Loveland had 15 targets * - illini January 11, 2026, 8:27:43
Would have lost but for Caleb’s absurd acrobatic 4th & 8 completion to Rome * - Orangeillini January 11, 2026, 7:27:46
- one of the more ridiculous throws you’ll ever see. basically got a game ball for it.* - Ari Gold January 11, 2026, 8:10:02
  - Given the situation, just unreal. * - PapaDels January 11, 2026, 9:15:32
I thought the game was today* - Stu January 11, 2026, 4:19:09
Would be so amazing if this already super fun result also causes them to stupidly fire LaFleur - OB25 January 11, 2026, 3:07:56
- Schefter put Harbaugh out into the ether on ESPN this morning* - John Coctostan January 11, 2026, 11:04:46
- I'm stunned to hear that Lafleur's future is the topic on every sports radio show this morning on my - LovetheChief January 11, 2026, 8:36:19
  - Same here. Packer media really thinking he's gone. - osklister January 11, 2026, 9:14:15

    - meh.* - Ari Gold January 10, 2026, 20:34:50
That pass wasn’t even close. * - harb January 10, 2026, 20:28:22
- Whole team looks young and like the moment is too big. Ben included. - Chicago1995 January 10, 2026, 20:29:46
- He doesn’t need to throw the fastball every time. - PapaDels January 10, 2026, 20:29:41
Starting the game giving up 2 straight 90 yd td drives has to change your mindset - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:26:24
- correct. the problem is the offense is almost as bad.* - Ari Gold January 10, 2026, 20:30:06
You can’t bring Allen back after this. Cannot.* - Chicago1995 January 10, 2026, 20:24:08

  - I get that, but the scheme and approach suck. Keep doing the same shit that doesn’t work.^ - Chicago1995 January 10, 2026, 20:28:49
    - I’m sure you’d do so much better* - bjl63 January 10, 2026, 20:29:45
      - It would be hard to be worse. - Chicago1995 January 10, 2026, 20:30:10

        Yeah but what if I was DC?* - Tortillini January 10, 2026, 20:33:24
        
        Yes, because that’s what I’m saying - Chicago1995 January 10, 2026, 20:33:02
- Was just about to post this. Fire Dennis Allen!* - Toonces January 10, 2026, 20:24:46
  - Not to defend him but it appears he has nothing to work with* - Ron McDon January 10, 2026, 20:28:15

a total pantsing.* - Ari Gold January 10, 2026, 20:22:24
Call a to!!!* - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:18:40
Ben needs a clock guy. This is horrible. You have to call a TO there.* - Carl Spackler January 10, 2026, 20:18:06
Need luck sometimes and Watson not kicking his fumble out of bounds was super unlucky - MC January 10, 2026, 20:17:09
- how about byard not jumping on it?* - Ari Gold January 10, 2026, 20:18:12
Byard turtling while the ball is on the ground* - RVA January 10, 2026, 20:16:30
- Meh. That’s just unlucky to not be looking the right place* - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:19:49
  - I wouldn't really call this unlucky - RVA January 10, 2026, 20:28:33
    - Meh x2. The implication that he saw a loose ball and didn’t react is crazy. Loose balls - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:29:55
      - It's not that he didn't see it, but the cowering back that looked even worse live* - RVA January 10, 2026, 20:31:03
        
        Again. The implication that he saw a loose ball and didn’t react is insane. Bad luck* - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:36:14
- yeah, wtf?* - Ari Gold January 10, 2026, 20:17:09
I mean the odds of that not being a touchback* - CoronaTheirAss January 10, 2026, 20:16:27
I think I’m out.* - Toonces January 10, 2026, 20:16:03
Where’s the easy button? * - harb January 10, 2026, 20:14:38

Can’t just give up 8 yards on every play* - shua January 10, 2026, 20:10:35
Giving free points to the Packers seems like a poor decision there* - ilinni11 January 10, 2026, 20:10:22
- It’s absolutely the correct call. We can’t stop anybody. Two 90 yd drives. What does punting do* - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:14:02
  - It’s an obvious punt situation. The position that “our d can’t stop anyone” - ilinni11 January 10, 2026, 20:19:15
    - That implies there no chance we convert. Which isn’t true. And again this isn’t - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:23:04
- Ben knows the D stinks so he had to go for it* - bjl63 January 10, 2026, 20:12:45
- their 2 scoring drives have been 80+ yards?* - Ari Gold January 10, 2026, 20:11:31
- Do you think if we punted it 40 yards farther down the field it would make a difference?* - Herman Blume January 10, 2026, 20:11:12
  - I would prefer to find out in that situation * - PapaDels January 10, 2026, 20:11:47
    - That’s playing to lose* - bjl63 January 10, 2026, 20:18:18
      - Giving them free points isn’t playing to win. See Illini11 post above* - PapaDels January 10, 2026, 20:20:27
        
        The free points are being given out regardless* - Herman Blume January 10, 2026, 20:24:12
- Yeah I don’t like the decision * - PapaDels January 10, 2026, 20:11:02

Good job Kmet* - Ron McDon January 10, 2026, 20:07:44
- He sucks* - Herman Blume January 10, 2026, 20:09:21

- terrible, especially with the looks they’re getting.* - Ari Gold January 10, 2026, 20:07:50
Shit show start but lot of time left. Get some points back this drive * - MC January 10, 2026, 20:01:29
- Agreed, but a TD is a must on this drive* - PapaDels January 10, 2026, 20:03:56
Imagine preferring to play the Packers as opposed to the Rams or whoever* - opossum jenkins January 10, 2026, 20:01:18
- Rams would be doing the same things* - John Coctostan January 10, 2026, 20:01:46

The defense isn’t even competitive so far* - UIHuskie January 10, 2026, 19:59:04
Love getting whatever he wants* - opossum jenkins January 10, 2026, 19:59:03

Ian Cunningham interviewed for the Falcons President of Football job. - Carl Spackler January 10, 2026, 6:35:37

    - That changed with the expanded playoffs: - longsnapper January 8, 2026, 9:48:08
crazy that braxton was a full participant today while kyler, ozzy, and rome were still limited. - Ari Gold January 7, 2026, 14:39:43
- If you would have told me that the Bears would have this kind of a season - Sounder January 8, 2026, 9:20:59
  - Yes, but you’re one of the most provincial people here and overrate everything and everyone - GMAW January 10, 2026, 7:42:59
We'll be in Packer country. I can't decide if I want to go out and be amongst Packer fans - DiamondDazzle January 7, 2026, 12:59:41
