i also heard the bears have lost their last 38 or 39 games when giving up 30 or more points?

qbs have a perfect passer rating against stevenson so far this year and 70% of the pressure on caleb

Man, I still had some hope for Stevenson but he's been traaaaash*

good thing we drafted a LT in the 2nd round to replace Braxton
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
There wasn’t a LT worth taking in the 2nd*
Posted by VIV
|
then don't take a RT that hasn't played LT in 3 years and expect him to be able to jump right over
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
There wasn’t one worth taking that early in the first unless you were ok with Simmons’ knee. *

bears have 3 out of 5 2nd round healthy inactives so far this year. not great kevin.*

Wasn't Burden active both games?*

It’s an aggregate

Bears lead the league in yards before contact on rushes. Not sure how real it is
Posted by gvibes
|
The running game was pretty good on Sunday, plus a lot of Caleb scrambles*
Posted by OB25
|
Nevermind, I see it’s just for RB’s. Definitely a bit surprising then*
Posted by OB25
|
I think I need to be more emphatic in my comments below about Caleb.
Posted by OB25 ?si=hez1XuhGmT1hgwwX
|
I didn't watch the whole game but he looked good from what I saw. Defense is high key cheeks.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Just watched and he was great. Also... man not a lot of open guys.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Yeah it looked really good absent the pile of sad on defense*
Posted by gvibes
|
As Bears fans, we’re almost attuned to QB evaluation in an unhealthy way
Posted by AintHatin this isn’t a criticism of you or your post or anything, just an observation. I’m sure all-22 being available and the volume of qb “gurus” has really accelerated things.
|
Caleb could go 9/10 with 9TDs and some people would be bitching about the incompletion*
Posted by VIV
|
Yeah it’s terrible and I’m feeding into it by even posting this.
Posted by OB25
|
Haha. No worries man. I’m consuming all that shit*
Posted by AintHatin
|
I see a lot of room for improvement in those

Baker story from this summer.

Yeah he’s come a long way. Easy guy to root for now*

QB school with another caleb video, of course. Kind of very positive on Caleb.
Posted by gvibes
|
In terms of pass blocking in the passing game?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Yes.
Posted by gvibes
|
BJ did make this comment today. I’d assumed it was intended for DJ, but maybe it was for Swift.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Does DJ and his contract have any trade value at all if/when this season goes in a tank?
Posted by OB25
|
We may have to give up picks for someone to take that contract*
Posted by gvibes
|
Like people thought the Rams would have to do with Jonah Jackson*
Posted by gvibes
|
Didn’t watch the video but that aligns with what I saw from Caleb yesterday.
Posted by OB25
|
The takes have been insane. Cowherd said it’s clear Ben Johnson isn’t the right guy for Caleb lol*
Posted by illini21
|
Wake me up after week 7 or 8. Judging any of that this early is dumb.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I can't wait to be done with Swift*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Neither can my fantasy team*
Posted by Sounder
|
Couldn’t that be said of almost every Bear?*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Nah - I like many of our players*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
jj out indefinitely. may need surgery. not great bob.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Groin injuries are nasty business*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Now being reported that Johnson is out for season*
Posted by Mrap24

Good thing we have a pass rush to compensate for a banged up secondary.

All part of the rags-to-riches story in the Super Bowl pregame show in Feb 2027. *

We got one drive to be positive about the Bears before the fucking roof collapsed.

Lose them all? LOFL*
Posted by bjl63

It's a stretch of course but feels like this thing has already gone off the rails.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

TJ Edwards also reaggravated his injury that kept him out of week 1. Woof*

|
Mock draft season is back on!*

Yikes*

PFF trigger warning, don't read
Posted by gvibes

While I only listened on the radio until it was 38-14, it sounded like Caleb had a solid 1st half*
Posted by bjl63
|
He played fine*
Posted by GMAW

Best parts of his day was a ton more stuff in structure, particularly in the 10-20 yard range.

New prediction: 3-14. Poles gets to wow us with another high draft pick!

I see 6.5 on DK*

i’d be thrilled with 7. not sure how that happens at this point.*

Joe Burrow is out and the Bengals D might be one of the worst in history again, so you can add
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Catching up... Does Ryan Poles watch Bears games and think to himself "God I suck".
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Makes me wonder if the concussion stuff has effected Brisker 's play?
Posted by DanSaint
|
I'm not convinced he watches the games.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
Im not convinced he’s ever watched a football game*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Can't blame him.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Also thought Caleb was fine. I don't understand pulling him in that game.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Any info on the Jaylon Johnson injury*
Posted by gvibes
|
More depressing GM stuff.
Posted by Mrap24
|
I mean I’m with you but we’ve already established all that*
Posted by illini21
|
What was the purpose of drafting Loveland and Burden *
Posted by MC
|
It's not like we just dropped $110M and a top ten pick at WR, and 50M at TE*
Posted by gvibes
|
This x 1000000. I’ve been saying that all day to anyone who will listen.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
I’m assuming the purpose was ”oh shit, the guy(s) I wanted to draft were taken…”
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Ryan poles is a really bad GM. And the bears extended him.
Posted by Mrap24
|
Doesn’t matter who the coach or QB are. Poles can’t build anything*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
The best are the folks that defend it saying he needs to be paired with Johnson.
Posted by gullit
|
Who said that? That seems like nonsense*
Posted by longsnapper
|
I recall a lot of that, I don't know*

Bad GM after bad GM after bad GM

When the Lions kicked it and it landed short of the 20, they blew it dead immediately. Could Santos
Posted by Orangeillini

Yes. I wasn’t thinking about that at the time either*

That's what some folks on social media were saying*

loveland and burden nonfactors again today while ot, st, and ko didn’t even dress!*
Posted by Ari Gold

o’b calling for a qb change. and it’s still year 2 of caleb’s nfl career and week 2
Posted by Ari Gold
|
OB sucks and his opinion should be ignored*
Posted by bjl63
|
It’s pretty clear Caleb is a bust but Bagent won’t give them a better chance.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
I don’t think Caleb is a bust, but he’s been given little chance to succeed to date
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Ya lost me at "pretty clear Caleb is a bust"
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Of course it is. You just don’t like it*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Based on what?*
Posted by VIV
|
Are we really going to do this?
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
I’m writing off last year due to the shit circumstances.
Posted by VIV
|
Based off the 19 games he's played.*
Posted by gullit
|
If only we had Dominic Raiola instead*
Posted by bjl63
|
If you’re going to throw a lob dunk to yourself, you could at least get Dylan’s name right.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Sorry. You’re right
Posted by bjl63
|
Where'd he end up last year, though? He was already elite after two games, if I recall*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Incorrect. 3 games*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
God forbid you give a guy a shot to play
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Just saw the score, could we have started the season any worse?
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Ryan Poles is a moron.*
Posted by Toonces
|
They actually gave this fucking guy an extension*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
thanks president warren and george! too dumb or insecure to ever burn it down
Posted by Ari Gold

bears aren’t even hurrying as they don’t want to give the ball back to the lions. lol.*

I have a question for football experts
Posted by bbonb

bagent time.*
Posted by Ari Gold

St Brown must be having a career day at this point. The Bears aren’t even trying to find him*

campbell running it up on benjo.*
Posted by Ari Gold

meanwhile justin fields returning to form.*
Posted by Ari Gold

Not a great pass but hit him in the hands. Gotta catch that. *
Posted by harb
|
At least we can start talking about what we are doing with the #1 overall pick.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
At least the Lions aren’t mocking the Bears after big plays*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
embarrassing.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
They cannot get St Brown on the ground. He’s like a ghost out there*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
This defense is total ass*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
453 yards in three quarters*
Posted by gvibes
|
Jfc Odunze*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Arguably three drops on one possession. Poles wanted him over Nabers *
Posted by gvibes
|
Even if you're right and Poles wanted Rome over Nabers, Nabers was already taken
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
And the balls hit him right in the hands. It’s your freaking job*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Just don’t know you undo the losing culture of this franchise. Needs another reset*
Posted by OB25
|
It's legitimately one of the worst franchises in the league at this point
Posted by UIHuskie
|
yes. benjo has done noting to address that it seems.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
It's game 2 of the Ben Johnson regime. What reset are you looking for?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
I wasn’t suggesting it should be done by now. Just commenting on how much work is still needed*
Posted by OB25
|
Gotcha. Carry on
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
the penalties, lack of on field leadership, and rookie usage are major red flags.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
The penalties are an issue for sure
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
There’s a lot of turds on this roster, and neither Ben Johnson nor anyone else can polish them*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
catch the ball x 2 rome!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
this just in: the bears are really bad.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Doesn’t it seem like Caleb gets a lot of balls batted down?*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
That was a talking point in the first game last year but then was never really any issue after that.
Posted by OB25
|
Ryan Poles has done a truly terrible job as a GM.*
Posted by OB25
|
are burden and loveland even dressed today?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Wright taking the first second of the play off*
Posted by gvibes
|
he’s not good, which isn’t great for a first rounder.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
I'm sure PFF will tell us he was a top 10 OL again this week
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
i can’t get over how bad the ol continues to be.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
This defense is absolute pants*
Posted by gvibes
|
and tj to boot.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
and jj ruled out for the game. another year playing for a high pick that poles can eff up.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
wtf was that? tj edwards on jamo? lofl.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
The defense has been ass today, but I think that was just an instance of a perfect play call
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
i know it’s early, but it looks like there’s still a leadership problem on this team
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Good throw Caleb,only 2 yards behind him that time.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Vilma said that was on the WR for not recognizing he needed to run a hot route
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
So...the official signaled to stop the clock, but shouldn't have
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
How do they retroactively correct an OOB after the team spikes the ball on the next play?*
Posted by VIV
|
Can you imagine making change if the Chiefs were on defense?*
Posted by GMAW
|
Oh boy, it’s going to be a long season*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
They started the season with two Super Bowl contenders
Posted by Sounder
|
Our defense is still worse than the officiating*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Ooo
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Wtf just happened *
Posted by gvibes
|
Maybe 2 defensive players with the first two picks would have been helpful.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Kenny that was just bunch of word salad that was wrong anyway*
Posted by illini222
|
Why did they stop the clock?*
Posted by gvibes
|
the bears do everything to lose, but have got royally effed by the refs so far this year.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
official screwed up. Thought it was out of bounds*
Posted by DanSaint
|
Really great effort to keep momentum here, defense*
Posted by OB25
|
just awful, gave them everything they wanted.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Good execution*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Rome finally looking like the guy we thought he’d be*
Posted by OB25
|
There is a history of talented wide receivers
Posted by Sounder
|
Yup really encouraging *
Posted by illini21
|
I'm feeling less good about him sitting on my fantasy bench
Posted by Sounder
|
byard has been out of position a lot today.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
That looked extremely easy*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
defense may be back to quit mode*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
It’s execution on offense. But there’s talent. The defense just doesn’t look talented.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
below average offensive line and running back are limiting factors on offense*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
they get a 3rd and 4 on the ground. lol.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
sort of like a 30-yard punt. weren't getting that first down anyway. still dumb though.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
I just can’t even understand how he misses some of these throws by a mile.
Posted by OB25
|
pretty good for our st these days.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Man, he makes a great play to escape but just can’t throw accurately downfield*
Posted by OB25
|
Cmon Caleb, just throw it 5 rows deep
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
what a meltdown that series was.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
If this follows the typical script, that will be the beginning of the end of good Caleb vibes today*
Posted by OB25
|
This offense is a complete mess*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
You know what would be cool? If the bears and Illinois were both good at the same time*
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
so many penalties again.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
and we still don’t have a back capable of a short yardage carry?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
ball don’t lie.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Nice play, Jaylon
Posted by illini21
|
Jaylon Johnson so good (and hurt)*
Posted by gvibes
|
Can’t decide what’s better, the use of our first two draft picks or the domination of our rebuilt OL
Posted by LovetheChief
|
I am not happy with the lack of Loveland so far, but you don’t draft guys…
Posted by OB25
|
I mean I get it. But if you draft a TE at 10, you expect him to get targets. See Warren in Indy.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Part of the problem could be that they have too many targets you’d expect to get targets
Posted by OB25
|
Independent of this play...why is is not SOP to position the sky cam right over the LOS?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
and the linesman on the near side marked it way short of the other one on both plays?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Still relying on old guys running in a random line from the side*
Posted by illini222
|
what happened to the chip in the ball idea?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
They said on the broadcast that it's based on where the officials spot the ball
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
That was absolutely pathetic*
Posted by OB25
|
ffs.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
no one on the interior O-Line can get any push on two attempts*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
all that money too.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Only took 5 quarters for me to pretty much only care about how Caleb plays.
Posted by OB25
|
that’s kind of where i’m headed as well. depressed after last week.*
Posted by Ari Gold

nice to see caleb and rome connecting.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Stevenson is worthless

lol at edmunds and stevenson.*
Posted by Ari Gold

too many penalties again too.*
Posted by Ari Gold

st continues to be an issue. fire hightower!*
Posted by Ari Gold

That first drive was way more encouraging in actual sustainable ways than the one last week*
Posted by OB25
|
yes.*

nice catch and run by Odunze for the TD. Good patience by Caleb*

Fuckin hell, Darnell Wright

First play from scrimmage and you don’t even snap it to Caleb. Says a lot*
