If Ozzy/Benedent is able to form an acceptable LT, the Bears can basically spend every draft pick
Posted by Toonces

Sounds like Ozzy may be starting again even if Benedet is healthy. Good.

Still need another Wide Receiver and LG to me. Defense needs work*

A mid-late round developmental IOL is fine, but it's not a need.

I still think Love would be a great replacement for Swift

No 1st round RBs

Don’t pass on elite talent to reach for needs*
Posted by bjl63
|
I really can’t see them using a top pick on a 4th WR.
Posted by OB25
|
Don't forget Burden! He has no idea what he is doing a lot of the time*
Posted by gvibes
|
I didn't know DJ was 28. Some reason I thought he was early 30s
Posted by ibdoc
|
His contract is an albatross so he is probably a cut after 2026 regardless*
Posted by gvibes
|
Just don’t draft anyone from Clemson*
Posted by bjl63
|
heh. they've got a couple really good DL with Woods and Parker*
Posted by VIV
|
Both have underachieved this year and most Clemson guys underachieve in the NFL*

Rome leading the NFL
Posted by VIV
|
Some pretty great company on that list *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Rome has Crossed the Rubicon. *
Posted by osklister
|
And he is on my team. *
Posted by harb
|
I remain underwhelmed by him. Too many drops and middling sideline footwork
Posted by OrangeSox
|
His size/speed/route package is excellent, but needs to bring down more tough
Posted by gvibes
|
I don't have any data to support this, but from merely observing him in college and the NFL
Posted by GMAW
|
So you're saying that a Penix has soft balls?*
Posted by Illiniphil
|
sure, softer throws will be easier to catch than harder/faster throws
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
If he was pick #40 I’d say it was a very good pick. At pick #9, it’s a bit underwhelming so far.
Posted by OB25
|
Agreed. His production has felt more 2nd or 3rd round guy than premier receiver
Posted by OrangeSox
|
He needs to quit the drops on the scramble drill before I say he’s excellent.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Like look at how good this ball is! The safety thinks he's jumping the route for a pick.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
ooo.
Posted by longsnapper
|
He went from Penix's beautiful balls to Caleb's Howitzer. Will take some adjustment.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Phrasing...
Posted by osklister
|
I am not happy to admit it, but it seems like Poles may have nailed this draft.
Posted by gvibes
|
Eagles going to be without Andrew Mukuba Friday. Maybe Adoree Jackson & Reed Blankenship too
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
This just feels like a game that is an instant ass kicking.
Posted by OB25
|
The Eagles have 1 win this year by more than 1 possession.*

If the Bears hadn't claimed the fraud title for the year already, Eagles would be that

Eagles are not good*

54-11
Posted by apusikam
|
and wasn't that directly before or after a 50-burger the bears gave up to the pats?*
Posted by VIV
|
I’m not a fan of Poles but early returns on this draft class are increasingly positive.
Posted by OB25
|
Yeah. Weird that they moved Trapilo out of LT consideration preseason/early.
Posted by gvibes
|
People piling on Ruben Hyppolite II are mean. He's doing his best.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
ooo (nsfw)
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

The Bears won. I hope Ruben went home with multiple prom queens afterwards.*

All offensive skill position players drafted with at least input if not final decision from Ben
Posted by DocWalk20
|
It’s a shame his prized defensive signing is cheeks*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Dayo or Jarrett? Jarrett has seemed like he's been doing stuff the last few games.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Dayo. Jarrett is older and doing as I expected. Poles paid Dayo like a premier DL
Posted by Mrap24
|
$2M more a year could have gotten us Josh Sweat*
Posted by gvibes
|
dayo has been awful and really can’t be cut until after next season.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
He has, but I'm willing to give Jarrett some more time. At least he's still available and playing
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
These pressure/sack stats are such a huge part of the offense turnaround
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I think PFF grades for non-skill position players are crap, but I’ll use this one anyway…
Posted by OB25
|
JJ McCarthy had a higher PFF rating than Caleb this week*
Posted by gvibes
|
It's Brosmer time!
Posted by AintHatin
|
McCarthy has developed another "injury." In concussion protocol*
Posted by gvibes
|
O’Connell says they haven’t been able to pinpoint the play that led to him having symptoms*
Posted by OB25
|
Twitter found one with about 5 minutes left in the fourth. Running like an idiot.
Posted by gvibes
|
Imagine how many points the Bears would've scored yesterday if they only had JJ McCarthy at QB
Posted by OrangeSox
|
people need to stop giving PFF grades any amount of credibility

Kind of interesting for positions I am not looking at every play*

They are shit but I can see why their approach would be harsh on Caleb’s game.

this isn't the first time they graded another player with a terrible performance better than CW

Posted by Ari Gold

last year the coaching staff hardly spent any time with the starters, let alone the reserves

Last year's coaching staff didn't coach.

not to mention hightower being retained.*

This is how Hyppolite got injured
Posted by gvibes
|
Any word on this or any other injuries? We need all the bodies we can get.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
the word on this appears to be "unqualified" for the role of NFL LB*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
He was out of position a lot, but I saw him involved in a few tackles.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Goodbye Aaron Rodgers. Go Bears.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I didn't know the Steelers are 1-13 lifetime in Chicago with the win coming 30 yrs ago*
Posted by ibdoc
|
crazy. although non conference road games are usually a good spot for a letdown.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
MONANGAI with 4 more carries than Swift.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
He looked good, was running really hard*
Posted by gvibes
|
I think it's more horses for courses.
Posted by Chicago1995
|
I thought coming into the game that the Steelers had one of the worst run Ds against outside runs
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
That might be the case
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Yeah, agree that if that was the Steelers weakness, didn't seem like the Bears ran outside a lot.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
That or Swift is hurt and they’re trying to manage it*
Posted by AintHatin
|
not to mention swift is not a great interior runner, especially against that front.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
this. IMO swift starts because he has a better potential for a big run
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
I was wrong about Caleb Williams, and I feel shame.
Posted by uofi1998
|
I’m excited to see him keep developing under BJ
Posted by illini21
|
I'm 100 percent still in on him potentially being a star.*
Posted by AintHatin
|
I didn't like Josh Allen's lack of accuracy when he was young either...
Posted by uofi1998
|
JMHO: got to start giving him fewer options, and the last one is "throw the ball away".
Posted by osklister
|
Here’s my hope on that - he has zero ints the last 4 games and only 4 all season
Posted by John Coctostan
|
He’s improving
Posted by AintHatin
|
Is there a comparison on his release speed with other QBs? Once he sets his back foot
Posted by ibdoc
|
His overall time to throw is one of the longest in the league
Posted by AintHatin
|
Could be tied for first at the end of the night *
Posted by John Coctostan

And yet The Athletic has our playoff odds at 55%*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
That still feels right to me. May need to find 3 more wins and will only be favored in 1 game.
Posted by OB25

I don't disagree. Bears have won last 2 weeks but so has every other NFC playoff contender.*

are you assuming det wins the north because they lost last week as did

I’m just talking WC competition.

Anything that deters slowing down the game is ok by me*

crazy good break, along with the formation penalty negating the Rudolph run*

Mahomes getting a different whistle isn't lost on me*
Posted by OrangeSox

Exactly. Giving yourself up inbounds is a thing. I don’t know why that wasn’t the case there*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
correct, especially a qb.*

A guy that does that to mahomes is suspended 2 games*

without a doubt.*

get the ball down.*

Just so inaccurate *

Not perfect but it went through his hands.*

C’mon*

I mean an NFL receiver should be able to jump AND catch*

Two strong cases why they need to reimplement the "no assisting ball carrier" rule.*
Posted by longsnapper
|
A bit of justice there*
Posted by OB25
|
Absolutely no clue how they didn’t get that. Seems like a bad call*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
No clue what’s going on there. Ban the fucking push*
Posted by John Coctostan

He was laying on the ground. Come the fuck on*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Horrible officiating. *
Posted by VIV
|
Fucking bullshit*
Posted by illini21
|
Not a recipe for success so far today*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
phantom turnovers on non-fumbles? I agree*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
just hold onto the ball so that shit can’t even happen.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
There’s no way that’s a fumble but there’s no way to overturn it. *
Posted by VIV
|
0% chance any ref saw that ball come out, you can’t just call it for the hell of it!*
Posted by OB25
|
refs didn't see it and were just guessing*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
They ruled it a TO so it could be reviewed
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
exactly right*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
disastrous tos.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Total bs. Should have been stopped, probably wasn’t a fumble, but they won’t overturn*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
all of that started with the ko return. tough to win with the shittiness of our st.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
There are guys fucking standing there for 7-8 yard check downs. Throw the damn ball to open guys.
Posted by OB25
|
is it possible giving up the TD is better than taking a safety and giving up possession
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Yikes*
Posted by illini21
|
At least we get the ball back this way!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Not a real great play there imo*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
WTF Caleb. Awful. *
Posted by VIV
|
disaster*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Probably can’t afford a ton of penalties today*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
or tos for tds!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
really need to manage to makeable 3rd and 4th downs*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
fire hightower!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Steelers have gained 5+ on 11 of 15 plays and also have 4 and 3 yard runs. No resistance.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Did they even have to convert any 3rd downs on that drive? Maybe 1?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
one 3rd and 2 I think*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
There’s not going to be and in this case it’s hard to be too pissed about it.
Posted by OB25
|
Gonna need to be a day that Caleb wins it for us, which is ultimately what matters the most anyway.*
Posted by OB25
|
Holy shit, this is not what I had in mind*
Posted by OB25
|
it should be obvious at this point that the Bears should be going for it on 4th down a lot today*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Hyppolyte was out of position on every play, but at least he was out there
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Stevenson in the locker room. So without LBs 1-4 and CBs 1-3*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
just keep scoring tds.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Stevenson has also gone to the locker room*
Posted by OB25
|
And now even fewer LBs*

Grab a helmet Samurai Mike*

Getting marched on.*

It would be fun to support a team with an even average defense*
Posted by Herman Blume

Not having linebackers makes it difficult *
Posted by VIV

too much time.*
Posted by Ari Gold

Pick up ur jock Byard*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
terrible.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Not offering much resistance here*
Posted by Herman Blume

93 gave up the edge*
Posted by Orangeillini

Now that was a great throw. More of those, please*

Hell of a drive. What BJ has done with the run game is incredible *

woot!*

Cream of some Monangai!*
Posted by VIV

Get the first!*

Jesus Christ Caleb*
Posted by illini21

another big miss there.*
Posted by Ari Gold

that's a better catch than most of the Bears WRs are capable of making*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
no doubt.*
Posted by Ari Gold

Sad but true*
Posted by Herman Blume

That better stand*
Posted by Herman Blume

what a play!*

Are the Bears playing any linebackers today?
Posted by timmer
|
Benedet inactive*

Rodgers out for today.*

Bears playing the shit out of opposing QB roulette this year*
Posted by AintHatin

Get fucked, Throw Rogan*
Posted by gvibes
|
Damn, I wanted him to play*
Posted by illini21
|
Same, feels anticlimactic now.*
Posted by Toonces
|
lol Rodgers is such a douche
Posted by illini21
|
In fairness…there’s a famous picture of Ditka doing the same thing that Bears fans love
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
biggs thinks benedet may be out as well.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Cross both Jaylon and Kyler off the list, neither to be active*
Posted by OB25
|
Is it just me or is this staff more transparent with injuries than other teams?
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
This one was reported by Jeremy Fowler at ESPN but I’m not seeing many others…
Posted by OB25
|
confirmed by the bears.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Guys on IR needed to be activated this afternoon to play tomorrow
Posted by Mrap24
|
Bears media site has Edmunds on IR apparently.
Posted by gvibes
|
I’m curious when this injury happened. He played the entire game last week
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

He was having a career year. Brutal*

49ers voiding Aiyuk’s contract 14 months after a 120 mil extension*

roschon and homer out too limiting practice squad call ups even further.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Edmunds, Edwards, Sewell all out Sunday*
Posted by AintHatin
|
Steelers might run the ball 40 times on Sunday.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
That's bad. Ruben Hyppolite II legacy game.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

Would be a great time for the first complete game from the O*
Posted by AintHatin

Not ideal*
Posted by Mrap24

Woof*

Good Nate Tice article. There was a twitter thread with NFL HC ranks, and Ben was top 5
Posted by gvibes

If I’m the Steelers, I’m in 12/13 all game with Darnell Washington and spamming the run.

biggs claims edmunds could be out multiple weeks with a groin.*
Posted by Ari Gold

I was surprised he picked the Bears. 27-20*

woof*

That sucks*

12/7 game against the Packers flexed to the 3:25pm window*
Posted by illini21
|
Also The Athletic’s Playoff Simulator has the Bears winning 10 games and missing the playoffs
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
didn’t that happen to seattle last year?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
I’d guess it’s because we lose the SF game and that tiebreaker*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Has SF winning 11 games and Packers going 10-6-1*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
makes more sense with 17 games. Winning 10 isn't a gimme*
Posted by torinese
|
Yeah but now 7 playoff teams per conference vs 6*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I was too lazy to open a new thread. But no Edmunds, Edwards, or Sewell practice yet.
Posted by gvibes
|
Biggs noted this morning that Edmunds played the entire game and Sewell all but two snaps
Posted by AintHatin
|
Were these game injuries or practice injuries?*
Posted by gvibes
|
edmunds happened towards the end of the game.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Don’t most middle linebackers play the entire game l?*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Maybe they went through a Brad Underwood practice this week?*
Posted by GMAW
|
Good news is, we drafted a 4th round LB who should be able to step right in!
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
He’ll probably be a bust but it was clearly an upside/developmental pick.
Posted by OB25
|
Seemed like a “this guy at worst can be a great special teams player and develop into more”
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
What makes him a developmental pick? He has like 50 college starts and is 24*
Posted by gvibes
|
He was a good player at Maryland. He better sack up and play well on Sunday.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Did you see how excited Poles-ey was to be drafting him? Smartest guy in the room! The pundits
Posted by gvibes
|
At 22:40 or so
Posted by gvibes

mesmerized by the 40 time*
Posted by VIV

If he plays I expect him to play well. No excuses.

I regret to inform you that he has been unable to beat out D'Marco Jackson*
