Bears / Jets - OB25 October 4, 2026, 12:04:33

Bagent expected to start vs Packers per Ben Johnson * - aimlessillini October 5, 2026, 11:43:31
Will be interesting to see how they balance Swift / Monangai going forward* - reggiedunlop October 5, 2026, 09:55:44
- I think Swift is basically squeezed out when protecting a lead. - Carl Spackler October 5, 2026, 14:58:46
- I'd suspect it will be pretty similar to what it was last year - AintHatin October 5, 2026, 12:38:09
- On Hamp and O’B they suggested Monangai on 1st and 2nd and Swift on 3rd, I like that * - meanjeans October 5, 2026, 11:50:38
  - Swift is good too. And OB sucks* - bjl63 October 5, 2026, 12:39:06
  - Great contract extension!* - gvibes October 5, 2026, 12:09:25
  - Nah, limiting them to specific downs is dumb - IlliniSax05 October 5, 2026, 11:56:40
Bears have maybe the best coach and qb room in the league. I was worried - Warrin'_Illini October 5, 2026, 07:38:03
- biggs claims that's the 1st time the defense didn't give up a 3rd down conversion since 1997? - Ari Gold October 5, 2026, 10:34:36
- How about Motivated Dayo? He’s got sacks in the last three games, I didn’t even expect him back - Toonces October 5, 2026, 08:52:15
  - I think corner has surpassed edge in terms of biggest need on defense. Thank god they - Warrin'_Illini October 5, 2026, 09:54:33

- Sweet sassy molassey watch a catch. Thinking the Lions were gonna steal this one if not for that* - OB25 October 4, 2026, 22:32:16
  - Pull out the checkbook and pay granny for the rubdown... * - osklister October 5, 2026, 16:41:08
- Going for it on 4th and 20 in FG territory down 13- not sure I agree with that decision * - meanjeans October 4, 2026, 22:15:26
Pat Bryant down. Hopefully just high ankle sprain, but could be a break* - gvibes October 4, 2026, 17:42:31

- Idiotic* - AintHatin October 4, 2026, 16:03:02
- What for? I despise OB* - bjl63 October 4, 2026, 15:39:07
  - panic scrambles and going to cost too much money that can be spent elsewhere.* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 15:46:52
  - can’t read defenses, offense has never run better, etc. callers are lapping it up.* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 15:42:42

- Last one was directly caused by a hold. Not sure when he releases that one* - gvibes October 4, 2026, 14:43:04
  - Yeah I agree. Just funny to me* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 4, 2026, 14:43:46
- the one after the offside shouldn't count because he knew he had a free play but the other 2 yikes* - Orangeillini October 4, 2026, 14:42:12

Is Swift out?* - LovetheChief October 4, 2026, 14:23:44
- No he fumbled and couldn’t get in from the one twice. And Monongai has been dominant* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 4, 2026, 14:28:12
  - Thanks. Listening on SXM and wasn’t sure.* - LovetheChief October 4, 2026, 14:33:08
    - Ok maybe he’s out since Roschon was on that last play?* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 4, 2026, 14:39:42
Really no need to throw again* - Herman Blume October 4, 2026, 14:22:37

no reason to put the ball in harm’s way at this point.* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 14:21:32
It hasn’t looked great at times but hard to argue with the numbers that Bagent has put up. - OB25 October 4, 2026, 14:18:25
- agreed. he just seems to be a bit off, but amazing numbers for a back up.* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 14:19:40
Every. Time.* - Herman Blume October 4, 2026, 14:09:42
Looked like Tyson checked to that run up the middle. So open* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 4, 2026, 14:09:18
- we have to be getting close to kyle being the starter. at least in there for short yardage - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 14:10:54
Defense steps up again.* - OB25 October 4, 2026, 13:58:54

Running it on 3rd and 6?* - Toonces October 4, 2026, 13:07:05
- no idea, but he must be out of short yardage plays to kick the fg there. lol.* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 13:07:54
- I assumed that meant they’d go for it on 4th* - Herman Blume October 4, 2026, 13:07:49

I’m still not over the phantom Benedent holding.* - Toonces October 4, 2026, 12:39:59
*exhales* - the OLine not giving a whole lot of room on these plays* - Orangeillini October 4, 2026, 12:38:59
We saw on 3rd down why they prefer Swift at goal line. Walk in TD on a simple cutback if he sees it* - OB25 October 4, 2026, 12:38:52
why are we not sneaking with nobody on the center?* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 12:38:41

Ben really does make terrible choices down there* - opossum jenkins October 4, 2026, 12:23:04
WTF* - VIV October 4, 2026, 12:23:00
Man that annoying* - Ron McDon October 4, 2026, 12:22:42

- crazy that they had that grainy shot.* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 12:24:35
  - And that it was deemed clear and obvious evidence to overturn the call - IlliniSax05 October 4, 2026, 12:25:50

bagent looking good so far.* - Ari Gold October 4, 2026, 12:12:23
Fucking Rome* - Herman Blume October 4, 2026, 12:08:45
- He did absolutely nothing wrong* - bjl63 October 4, 2026, 12:10:51
I think he’s just barely down but man, Rome just cannot be trusted at all.* - OB25 October 4, 2026, 12:08:19
