Some random Bears thoughts
Posted by Toonces
|
Coming off those injuries, I’d expect functionally nothing from Dayo and Turner next year.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
2 more things I noticed watching the All-22...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
(that All-22 is a great watch. Caleb had an incredible game.)*

Weird playoff anomaly for the Bears
Posted by OB25
|
Also, ignoring the 2 Super Bowls, 15 of the last 19 Bears playoff games have been at Soldier Field

|
Bears playoff seeding/opponent scenarios, assuming no ties...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Give me the Rams or Packers please.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Give me sam darnold, packers if that ain't possible
Posted by apusikam
|
The Packers already beat the Bears once and had a 99% chance to win the second time even after their
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Bears could have easily won that first game and their backup QB might be better than the starter.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I would still rather face GB than the other options. A first round Bears loss would not be
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Agree on both counts. The Bears could lose in the first round or win the SB. I am just
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
i want no part of the rams*
Posted by VIV
|
Yeah, Seahawks would have been a nice alternative to the Packers. Rams are not. Gimme the Packers.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I'd rather play them instead of SF or Seattle. Stafford's back will tighten up
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Seattle is my pick. Playoff Darnold strikes no fear in me.*
Posted by Sammich
|
Unfortunately with Rams barfing a fart, Seattle is either the 1 or 5 seed, so Bears miss them.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
YOU ARE MISINFORMED
Posted by OB25
|
Seattle would be 13-4 and the Rams would be 12-5.
Posted by VIV
|
I AM MISINFORMED
Posted by OB25
|
It's right there in the first post of this subthread ;) *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Good point Sammich.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Having zero pass rush is a death sentence against them.*
Posted by OB25
|
Even if it’s 200/1 odds and there are only 2 real contenders, Caleb is T-3rd in MVP odds
Posted by OB25
|
Was Stafford over Maye before this game started? The play by play is hilarious*
Posted by gvibes
|
Yes he was*
Posted by OB25
|
Get a load of this guy
Posted by OB25
|
This is also him:
Posted by VIV
|
he was a gopher for 2 years for the Jets 25 years ago. "support staff", never a scout.*
Posted by VIV
|
I figured as much. Anyone with legitimate credentials wouldn’t start a bunch of his posts with…
Posted by OB25
|
Nm *
Posted by MC
|
A mountain of bad takes *
Posted by MC
|
Spencer Rattler was his #1 QB in 2024. Still early. Maybe he was right.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
Shough no.*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
Sure sounds like the Eagles might rest their starters this week
Posted by OB25
|
Apparently Saleh did not call for a 2-man rush on the last play...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
"waste the time out" - did he think we were going to try to get two plays in or something?
Posted by gvibes
|
Whoa. That’s kinda bizarre*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I'm surprisingly encouraged by that game
Posted by VIV
|
My concern is how are they going to rebuild the defense.
Posted by Mrap24
|
Brisker sucks and is injury prone, they should definitely move on from him.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
We all kinda thought the same thing about the OL last offseason and I’d say that’s turned out
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Nah, Bears had a ton of cap space and an extra 2nd rounder last year. Different situation.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
yeah, but they bungled a lot of that cap space on Dayo and Jarrett*
Posted by VIV
|
Those were such obviously bad signings*
Posted by gvibes
|
We are also losing Byard, Brisker, Billings, CGJ and Wright. I think we probably cut Edmunds?
Posted by gvibes
|
If my choice is keep Edmunds at a 17.4M cap hit or cut him for a 2.4 dead cap hit, bye bye*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
They should spend every draft pick on defense.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Still very unlikely that helps you much next season though. And the Caleb contract window is now.
Posted by OB25
|
I agree there should be avenues available to spend. I also think if you draft all defense you can
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I just looked at the top edge rushers from this past year’s draft…
Posted by OB25
|
But you don’t need them to be an all pro. Just stack talent and make it so the second string talent
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Simple fix, do whatever is necessary to get Maxx Crosby*
Posted by bjl63
|
meh. i'm against trading a lot for aging veterans.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
They have 3 more years on Caleb’s rookie deal. Time to pounce now
Posted by bjl63
|
Is 28 considered an aging veteran?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
It’s been a weird and fluky season and they are definitely lucky to have won several of their games.
Posted by Herman Blume
|
The Bears are 28th in yards allowed. It's remarkable to be 11-5 and shows just how elite the offense
Posted by Orangeillini
|
The takeaways are obviously covering up a lot of sins. But I also think just adding a dude or two
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Nearly everyone on offense is under contract for next year. Of relevant folks,
Posted by gvibes
|
Benedet is a RFA, so they’ll keep him. I’d cut Cole and Swift.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
By weighted DVOA (which, whatever), we were like 25th in mid-November, and were
Posted by gvibes e: unfortunately "legit good right now" probably means like 4th best in the NFC because the NFC West is a juggernaut.
|
They’re a pass rush away from being legit so I don’t expect a playoff run, but also don’t care.
Posted by OB25
|
Watching the play again, I think Coctosan was right, and Ben would have probably
Posted by gvibes
|
I think that a) that’s a very very hard thing to do in any circumstance with the D played by SF and
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I wonder if Caleb would make a different choice in this moment if he could do it over…
Posted by OB25
|
watching the play again, the two rushers (47 and 96) are coming from that back side
Posted by VIV
|
Also every route but DJ is going left IIRC. Relying entirely on scramble drill
Posted by gvibes
|
I don't know if every route was going left but I know every receiver except DJ tried to help Caleb
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
He is a low effort player. There was one play where he and Kmet were running mirror routes
Posted by gvibes
|
not a fan.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
You mean jumping up and down and acting like you’re open for a 100% impossible throw is bad?*
Posted by OB25
|
Pics like this are always funny to me because with downfield rule you end up with these O-linemen
Posted by Herman Blume
|
We made history last night. First team to score 35+, a defensive TD, 0 TOs, and 0 punts
Posted by VIV
|
EDIT- 0 sacks, not 0 punts. *
Posted by VIV
|
Bears had punts*
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
Probably meant sacks allowed*
Posted by Wes
|
indeed i did. thanks for cleaning up after me.
Posted by VIV
|
PUUUUUUUUUUUUNTS!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
If SF doesn’t defend that hook and ladder perfectly, the Bears win this.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
mccaffrey had 20 touches in the first half to 19 plays for the bears.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Want to stay in the 2-seed now. Packers are more beatable than LA or 9ers IMO.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Think my order of preferred opponents: NFC South, Seahawks, Eagles, Packers, Niners, Rams.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
ooo
Posted by Ari Gold
|
historic game last night: first game tied at 7, 14, 21, 28, & 35, and the bears were the first team
Posted by Ari Gold
|
niners were 7-10 on 3rd down and 1-1 on 4th.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
burden has a quad. not thought to be serious.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Saw clips of him being interviewed at his locker after the game
Posted by illini21
|
Small thing that may have mattered: Swift not bringing the ball to the hashes.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Last thing I’ll say on the Colinsworth criticism of Caleb.
Posted by OB25
|
Yes. A Jared Goff is sacked 3 seconds before Caleb even attempts those throws.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I’m gonna remember that wheel throw to Loveland for awhile. Best overall CW game
Posted by John Coctostan
|
loveland wheel, first two touchdowns, downfield accuracy seems to have improved.
Posted by gvibes
|
Caleb needs 270 yards next week for 4000. Throw it all over the yard*
Posted by Mrap24
|
and 109 yards for the Bears single season passing record*
Posted by shua
|
just noticed DJ Moore had no one within 30 yards of him at the end...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Impossible throw from where Caleb was and direction he was rolling*
Posted by Mrap24
|
right he would have had to somehow reverse field and set his feet to get it over there*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
My real time reaction was “SPIN OUT!” since a sack didn’t matter.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
lost in all of this is how shanny clowned allen. lots to clean up there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Shanny kind of clowns everyone*
Posted by gvibes
|
he did this without kittle and trent williams.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Also statistically we kind of clowned them just as much *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Yeah, I wanted to make a "people are really making Saleh as HC case" post
Posted by gvibes
|
I’d say it’s more impressive how Ben outcoached Salah then Shanahan over Allen *
Posted by MC
|
So if I have this right: Don't pay attention to PFF. Or analysts. Watch all the games.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
You said PFF again, he's going to be angry posting for the next three hours now*
Posted by gvibes
|
He'll also probably make up some more rules that don't exist.
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
Nm*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Oh man. Just saw that. Ok*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Man the Niners rushed 2 on the last play... one of which was unblocked by Ozzy.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
yeah pretty sad when you look at it again...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
agreed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Burden tackled on his initial route too*
Posted by OB25
|
never hurts to be physical in that situation as it still just leaves one play to defend.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
legs got tangled up!*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
The 2/7 GB matchup is more appealing than a 3/6 NFC West matchup, but I think you rest anyone
Posted by Orangeillini
|
i’ll be surprised if they lose a rematch against det with something on the line, especially after
Posted by Ari Gold
|
If the opportunity presents itself BenJo will run it up
Posted by bjl63
|
Luther Burden was carted off the field. God dammit*
Posted by OB25
|
Grabbing his left hamstring per Courtney Cronin
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
We can all agree that sucks ass*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Collinsworth showing where Caleb should have thrown and then realizing there was nothing*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Literally nothing. Most likely an INT if Caleb throws what Collinsworth was suggesting.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Yeah, it was good defense. There was nothing open*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Looking at that all 22 view from the top, i think swing out to the RB was the best bet
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Niners have that read pretty well, four guys blocking no one hurt
Posted by RVA
|
Not the first read, to his blind side and that's ridiculous. It's not a video game*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Man fuck you. I didn’t say any of that. I said that was the best bet given teh way
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I'm just saying not every eligible receiver is an option at all times. You're reading that play
Posted by longsnapper
|
No, you’re not. Your belittling every single post that you think doesn’t understand as much
Posted by John Coctostan
|
It’s also incredibly disingenuous because he’s absolutely in a position to know that the points
Posted by meanjeans
|
Yes, I admitted I should be less aggressive*
Posted by longsnapper
|
I appreciate it. And I can certainly try to be less negative *
Posted by meanjeans
|
You brought that you thought the swing pass was the best bet. But,
Posted by longsnapper
|
I was definitely imprecise in my post on what i meant. But again, just assuming that this is the
Posted by John Coctostan
|
tough to throw short of the end zone.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Probably wasn’t an option, but Loveland walks in if he fakes the toss and keeps it.
Posted by OB25
|
3:25 game next week*
Posted by Mrap24
|
so bears have to win next week to clinch the 2 seed?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Or a Philly loss (they aren’t losing at home to Washington)*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Real bummer to run out of time there, should have had more than enough time.
Posted by OB25
|
Burden's catch on third down was great but cutting up field instead of OOB hurt. *
Posted by illini
|
Didn’t he need to cut upfield to get the first?*
Posted by gvibes
|
Yes, but after he cut in, he went out, then back in*
Posted by GMAW
|
Got it, didn’t remember that*
Posted by gvibes
|
i thought so.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
He did to juke his defender but after that he had space to exit, I thought. *
Posted by illini
|
well, a couple of drops and missed throws contributed to that.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
a couple of big drops and bad throws on the last drive, but dj being another no show was a killer
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Wasn't he sick all week? *
Posted by illini
|
Did they show what happened to Burden?*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
I simply can’t be mad about that. Late lead and a chance to beat a playoff team on the road*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Bummer. Really need Caleb to hit that throw or Loveland and burden to make those earlier
Posted by gvibes
|
What did Caleb do wrong?*
Posted by longsnapper
|
He didn’t complete passes while running for his life*
Posted by PapaDels
|
I'll wait until a buster QB gets my credit card info and tell me what he did wrong*
Posted by longsnapper
|
One hopped the ball to duvernay. If you think he doesn’t have the arm strength
Posted by gvibes
|
That play specifically was super tough throw. I really can’t fault him because I’m not sure any QB
Posted by MC
|
Yeah, you demand perfection from QBs but don't actually watch football.
Posted by longsnapper
|
Also I watch an absolutely embarassing amount of NFL football.
Posted by gvibes e: I also commented on one booker play and one caleb throw
|
Do I also demand perfection from burden and Loveland, who I mentioned
Posted by gvibes
|
Collinsworth already told you he should have made those throws. What more do you want?*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Bummer but awesome game*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Bummer. Helluva game*
Posted by Blazer
|
I don’t like Collinsworth’s schtick but it would be great if Williams could stop doing that *
Posted by meanjeans
|
That was not at all like the first one, which was actually bad*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah but when it’s one throw for the game you just can’t bounce it off the ground *
Posted by meanjeans
|
There isn’t a QB in the league that makes that throw a high % of the time.*
Posted by OB25
|
There didn’t look to be anything there earlier. Just couldn’t get velocity on it
Posted by gvibes
|
Lol*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
I mean i guess, but there was literally nobody open over there*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Maybe I saw it wrong but if it was a foot higher I think Walker catches it *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Maybe. It’s a 3% throw for anyone*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
For sure. That last throw I don’t really have any problem with at all, it is what it is *
Posted by meanjeans
|
LOL.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Come on*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Get the fuck out of here*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Oh Christ here come the f bombs for a totally reasonable comment *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Reasonable my doodlyoodly ballsack!"
Posted by longsnapper
|
It’s completely unreasonable *
Posted by PapaDels
|
Lol*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Doing what?*
Posted by OB25
|
Doing what?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
He missed a couple throws
Posted by apusikam
|
Walker was open ... enough, if he could have gotten it there.. *
Posted by illini
|
I think 91 gets a hand 🖐️ on it if it’s high enough*
Posted by gvibes
|
What a dam game. Hopefully Burden is ok. *
Posted by harb
|
having to burn that timeout before the 4th down play was very very costly*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Yeah. Kinda “wasted” it bc the clock was stopped. Good try with the hook and ladder. Good play by
Posted by Mrap24
|
Oh no not Burden*
Posted by OB25
|
I’m not afraid of a rematch*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Props to Cole Kmet for blocking no one on the 2nd to last play*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
He was to deep behind the action*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Seems like a Cole problem*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I’m guessing that his job to try and the defenders deep. SF guys made a nice play
Posted by Mrap24
|
Holy smokes what a game. *
Posted by illini
|
Shoot*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Damn*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Interesting idea. Just couldn't get in*
Posted by UofIL6
|
My god*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hell yeah. *
Posted by harb
|
Nice play*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Let’s fucking gooooooo*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Drop. Gotta catch that. *
Posted by harb
|
sigh, had to burn a timeout too*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Gotta catch that*

Btw is DJ still playing?*
Posted by gvibes
|
Answer: yes*
Posted by gvibes
|
Okay Da Pope… let’s do this *
Posted by aimlessillini
|
Embarrassing *
Posted by VIV
|
Just silly to not bring pressure. Give them all day and they’ve been picking us apart*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I don’t understand how we can continually not have pressure but also be leaving guys 5 yards open
Posted by meanjeans
|
Blitz=\ pressure, unfortunately*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Agree, but dropping back and giving him all day hasn’t been working. Why would they change
Posted by Mrap24
|
Well….at least you get the last chance to score. Pathetic D. *
Posted by harb
|
Ok, plenty of time. Let's do this*
Posted by UofIL6
|
best case scenario. let's go.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
yep.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
That’s pretty close to a block in the back on that screen.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
They even showed it on replay *
Posted by aimlessillini
|
Obvious block in the back *
Posted by assassin
|
It's not a penalty behind the line of scrimmage*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Well I’ll be a monkeys uncle. No kiddin. *
Posted by assassin
|
Nah, he's just wrong.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
Oh ho…*
Posted by assassin
|
Just coming here for that.
Posted by tvillini
|
Let them score?*
Posted by gvibes
|
Please, bring the house. If nothing else let them score quikcly*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Or try not to give up the big play and still do so. So bad it’s good*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Billings may be the slowest player I've ever seen*
Posted by Orangeillini

The Hands to the Face game. *
Posted by VIV

Undisciplined play*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Good D. *
Posted by harb
|
TWSS*
Posted by VIV
|
Or just shoot yourself in the foot. *
Posted by harb
|
True story. Need some more D. *
Posted by harb
|
Just need a few good holds by the secondary *
Posted by shua

Bring pressure*
Posted by John Coctostan

You have the lead. Get it done *

Loveland, Burden, Monangai, Trapilo, Walker - Ryan Poles 2025 Draft Legacy Game
Posted by OB25
|
Yeah, I have bitched about poles, but banger of a draft*
Posted by gvibes
|
3 blah plays inside the 10 and the 2nd down one was brutal*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Someone must have run the wrong route there, there were three recovers next to each other*
Posted by gvibes
|
All the great throws caleb has made and what’s cris talking about? The one that was a foot too high*
Posted by VIV
|
He’s made like 2 bad throws all night. But you gotta tsk tsk them as much as you can*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Saying he needs to make the simple plays more consistently isn't unreasonable *
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
And if it was caught, not sure it goes anywhere*
Posted by Mrap24
|
play had no chance even with a good throw*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Yep*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I'm so over the accuracy being a narrative. like other offenses score 50+ every game*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
At least there is the lead. *
Posted by harb
|
That shovel pass call might cost them the game. Horrendous.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Setting up nicely for...kick a FG...49ers score a TD...Bears get comeback win #7*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Too cute. *
Posted by VIV
|
Don’t mind the idea. Timing was all off*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Caleb is on fire. Let him pick a guy out. Just no need to get that cute imo.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Yep. If it works….awesome. If not, here we are. *
Posted by harb
|
I don’t like that play*
Posted by Mrap24
|
nice to see other teams take dumb penalties.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
That helps. *
Posted by harb
|
What. A. Fucking. Throw. *
Posted by VIV
|
What a throw. Wow *
Posted by illini
|
nice sneak there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
What. A. Fucking. Seed*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Burden is electric*
Posted by gvibes
|
Booker looks like a real piece that can contribute going forward*
Posted by OB25
|
so raw and young too.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Definitely. He's becoming a very solid rotational passing down specialist*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Yeah he is basically our hope for mediocrity *
Posted by gvibes
|
Really surprising choice*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
1 play for the Bears to make up the field position*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Wright 26 looks terrified to take a hit out there*
Posted by Blazer
|
He probably got a concussion in the 1st Q*
Posted by VIV
|
Agree with Collinsworth there- we should just bring tons of pressure. If gonna get beat anyway make
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Andrew Billings looks bigger every time I see him*
Posted by OB25
|
enough with getting beat on this boot action.*

took #90 3 seconds to realize Purdy had it, even though he had contain responsibility*

There’s a turnover out there in this game still*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
What a fuking run. Woo hoo. *
Posted by harb
|
That throw was awesome. *
Posted by harb
|
CW making throws *
Posted by MC
|
Loveland is awesome.*
Posted by OB25
|
Another great throw*
Posted by longsnapper
|
I think this is overall his best game to date. He’s made the hard and easy throws*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
without a doubt.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
That seemed to be bad spot by like 2 yds*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
At least we know the O has 4 downs every drive. That opens some things up*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
yes.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
That is fantastic by Caleb.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
He made that throw, Cris*
Posted by OB25

No comment on it. *

How was that not DPI?*

How am I like 60 seconds behind*

Also to the anti Caleb crowd there’s a point - zero praise for that throw*

Fucking laser. *

I know the niners DL stinks but their pass rush may be worse than ours*

Well that was kind of embarrassing*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Edmunds does suck though. *
Posted by illini
|
especially given what he's making. terrible return on investment.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Lol we are getting clowned*
Posted by gvibes
|
They’ve punted ONCE in December so they’re kind of a machine no matter the opponent*
Posted by bjl63
|
Right but there were turnovers on downs,, field goals, etc
Posted by gvibes
|
That’s some sick shit by Purdy.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
This is early 2000s Illini shit. Completely undisciplined*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Purdy faking out everyone on the team at one time or another this game.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
That’s just atrocious*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I mean that’s all Brock Purdy*
Posted by illini21
|
He’s not Lamar Jackson. Break down and make a tackle*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hes better than Lamar

|
Man, this is bleak on the defensive side of the ball. Just completely helpless in this one*
Posted by OB25
|
Maybe had a chance there and CJ completely whiffs*
Posted by OB25
|
Zero resistance. Even with key pieces out. Really frustrating*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Then well played and in position and complete whiffs. Terrible*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
And.... That looks like an Achilles*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Never a good sign to grab your Achilles. *
Posted by VIV
|
Defense needs another turnover *
Posted by VIV
|
That was some great caleb*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
That 3rd and long conversion was beautiful.
Posted by OB25
|
This game rocks*
Posted by illini21
|
Moore with a nice block there actually *
Posted by gvibes
|
great response by the offense*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Boom…TD. *
Posted by harb
|
they were running three guys off the field on the first down play. just snap it. man.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
I was thinking the same. *
Posted by VIV
|
""almost get facemasked"*
Posted by longsnapper
|
No…got face masked. *
Posted by harb
|
Cracks me up how they keep Mariah Taylor on the opposite side of the stage*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Is Brian Robinson hurt? Surprised he's not getting the rock*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Why are you such a dick about this stuff? Relax.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Because pff needs a counter.*
Posted by longsnapper
|
He’s been on fantasy teams the last two years and qb school loves doing 49ers
Posted by gvibes
|
So you haven't watched games. You've watched stats*
Posted by longsnapper
|
What do you think qb school is referring to? I’m done*
Posted by gvibes
|
Remember that string of sign language interpreters that were just bullshitting?
Posted by longsnapper
|
Just say PFF is terrible and shouldn't be used for any useful measurement
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
330 yards for SF at half*
Posted by Mrap24
|
staggeringly bad*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
This pass rush is just comically bad. Like constantly completely stonewalled.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Idiotic TOs here*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Nah, not a huge risk given the field position. take a chance you can get a stop
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Much greater chance of SF getting a score than us getting the ball back*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
I don't think either had a great chance of happening
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Agreed*
Posted by illini21
|
That was the slowest developing stunt I have ever seen*
Posted by gvibes
|
probably right to call timeout but scary at the same time*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
I like it. Overwhelming odds in your favor even with the way the D has played*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
agreed, especially because the 49ers only had 1 timeout*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
There’s just zero indication that a 3 and out was at all a realistic possibility there*
Posted by OB25
|
Doesn't mean it couldn't happen
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
It’s the absolute wrong call IMO.*
Posted by OB25
|
This timeout could really backfire*
Posted by OB25
|
That’s an enormous special teams play there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Thank god for the punt but that is a game-changing miss by Caleb. Likely still too much time left*
Posted by OB25
|
What a huge miss. Really needed more time for the D*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Collinswroth is a dick but that was real bad*
Posted by gvibes
|
That was completely warranted. Awful miss*
Posted by illini21
|
His critique there was on point and way more fair than all the drivel Aikman says*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Sure but does any other qb’s misses get pointed out like Caleb’s? Every qb in the league makes a
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Josh Allen had a worse miss two hours ago*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Yep. *
Posted by harb
|
Brutal. Gotta hit that one*
Posted by illini21
|
Let’s fuck Brock Purdy up.*
Posted by Toonces
|
At minimum can’t give them any time at all before half, because we definitely won’t stop them*
Posted by OB25
|
Zero idea what that Netflix commercial meant*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Bears could go 2 for 1 here. Could be 35-28 before 49ers see the ball again *
Posted by MC
|
gotta leave less than 20 seconds for the 49ers this half though*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
sweat sucks ass.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Ooof Montez *
Posted by illini
|
how soon before they can get out from under his contract?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
They can after this year if they are willing to take 8 mil in dead cap*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I see $18MM in dead cap... only save $7MM*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Here’s what I see
Posted by Mrap24
|
Hmmm... Overthecap has basically the opposite.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
4 mil in 26 and 27*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Playing Purdy in the fantasy championship is a nice added nut punch here*
Posted by OB25
|
Geez sweat. Terrible discipline*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Meh. No idea what his read or key was there*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
No idea what he saw there*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Completely shredded*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Killer penalty, gonna drain the clock too*
Posted by OB25
|
Damn*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Please be opi*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I know that’s a penalty but damn it’s soft. Feel like that has to happen 5 times a game with no call
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Frustrating thing is it didn’t affect anything*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Yep*
Posted by illini21
|
agreed. this crew calls the most penalties in the league and you can see that tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Not. *
Posted by harb
|
Gvibes with an all-time bad take. Truly impressive*
Posted by longsnapper
|
He’s a pretty mediocre runner these days and I am sticking to it. Still an elite
Posted by gvibes
|
You're comparing Robinson to McCaffrey and using ypc? So you haven't watched many games
Posted by longsnapper
|
His take was he’s still good but not as good as he used to be? Which is like everyone’s take?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Gvibes, first time? *
Posted by MC
|
Edmunds the unblocked defender on that last run, tackled nothing but air*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
CMac is so shifty *
Posted by PapaDels
|
So damn good*
Posted by illini21
|
Every completion is on wright or Edmund’s *
Posted by gvibes
|
is it too much to ask to hold them to a FG*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Gonna need to do that turnover play soon*
Posted by OB25
|
Shit*
Posted by illini21
|
This is such a big play*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
They’ll just go for it*
Posted by OB25
|
Made a play!*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
But not two*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Woooo. What a half from Booker*
Posted by illini21
|
Good half by Booker*
Posted by Mrap24
|
hey a sack!*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Attacking the middle of the field*
Posted by Mrap24
|
If you want to watch someone get embarrassed, focus on Edmunds.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Would any MLB not be getting exposed if put in the spots that Edmunds has been?
Posted by OB25
|
It's not that he's getting beat 1-1. He has no instincts and Kyle knows it.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
he's such garbage. has been all year*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Haha not really*
Posted by illini21
|
Like Wright & CJGJ, if he's not getting a turnover he's a liability.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Agree to disagree. He was pretty damn good before the injury
Posted by illini21
|
Again*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
49ers on pace to have like 20 possessions, ha. Which is not ideal.
Posted by OB25
|
Getting off the field quickly though. Smart*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
So pretty. *
Posted by harb
|
Two quality teams going at it tonight *
Posted by PapaDels
|
Two elite offensive coaches putting it out there tonight *
Posted by MC
|
This may be a mutual 50-balling*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Funny how no one is pining for Tyler Warren anymore *
Posted by bjl63
|
he's still pretty good, especially with jones, leonard, and rivers as his qbs.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Yes but I’m perfectly content with our guy.*
Posted by bjl63
|
Loveland is awesome. *
Posted by illini
|
Warren is great but Loveland has more big play ability*
Posted by bjl63
|
Dime*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
this is crazy.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Havin a wild one *
Posted by assassin
|
Great play and throw*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Deep ball CONTINUES TO BE ELITE*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I think the o/u was 52 for the game *
Posted by MC
|
Oh man just stick with the inside cut there, Kyle*
Posted by OB25
|
Oh man, how does he not make that dude miss*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Third time is the charm, Josh.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Also, why is Sewell playing over Jackson? Wasn't it the opposite last 2 games?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Really wish we had that Dayo and Jarrett money to spend this offseason.

Super Niners Super Bowl *

Imagine if CMC wasn't washed up*
Posted by longsnapper
|
I don't have a dog in this fight, but a washed up HS RB could go through these holes.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Seriously*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
What a lack of explosiveness*
Posted by bjl63
|
They’re using Jusczcyk like a wing T back*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
gross again*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Defense is getting shredded. Just picked a part*
Posted by Mrap24
|
dline is literally moving sideways on most plays.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
This pass rush is hopeless.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
no push at all.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Rough tape for wright today*
Posted by gvibes
|
and sweat.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Throw was tits, as was celebration *
Posted by gvibes
|
That is what I’m talking about. Very nice*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
That is an UNBELIEVABLE throw*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Dime*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
What a throw *
Posted by harb
|
rome who?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
LFG*
Posted by illini21
|
Touch on a deep ball again! And Burden is a future star #1 WR*
Posted by OB25
|
yes.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Burden wide open TD! First team to 50 wins*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
The deep ball continues to be ELITE*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Defense optional tonight *
Posted by MC
|
13 with duvernay. Not great *
Posted by gvibes
|
The play calling is kinda befuddling so far*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Immediately a lot better*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
galaxy brain shit.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
why would you catch it in the endzone. just take the touchback at the 35*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
fire hightower.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Really seemed like SF had missed their window and yet here they are again…
Posted by OB25
|
Horrible play by Edmunds*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
They seem to have identified him as the weak link. Lot of passes over the middle as well*
Posted by Mrap24
|
That’s some bad defense*
Posted by Mrap24
|
SF gonna score a shitload of points tonight*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
gross*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Yep. The D was terrible on that drive. /
Posted by harb
|
jj misses another tackle and knocks out wright in the process?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
"not the player he used to be!"*
Posted by longsnapper
|
That was electric*
Posted by illini21
|
longest run of the year. lol.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Someone on this offense needs to make a play*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
not until they get down apparently.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Ugly shit*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Their o is missing their two best players now*
Posted by gvibes
|
2 of their best 3, as McCaffery just showed*
Posted by OB25
|
Hell yes, Booker*
Posted by illini21
|
tonges looking better than kittle.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Purdy throws so many floaters over the middle. Wild he doesn’t have more picks*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Attacking the middle*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Not 1 run play. 8 yards on 1st then pass pass*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I’d love to see Ben’s run/pass tendency on 2nd and short. Feels like 80%+ PA.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
not to mention the early offense has turned into hot garbage.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
ridiculous.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
um, run the ball?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
23 straight drives without punting for SF. Probably will require 30+ to win this one*
Posted by OB25
|
We did…. not look good on that drive *
Posted by meanjeans
|
no pass rush. rinse. repeat.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Wright can’t cover*
Posted by gvibes
|
Yikes*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Microcosm of the Bears D on these first two SF possessions*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Yep*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Great play and all, but also LOL at “18th out of 60” PFF ranked RB Christian McCaffery*
Posted by OB25
|
Must be entirely based on YPC*
Posted by bjl63
|
High or low? He is not the player he used to be*
Posted by gvibes
|
I’ll admit his rushing numbers aren’t as good as I expected, but he also has 92 catches…
Posted by OB25
|
18th is low, I agree. He is the best receiving back in the game.
Posted by gvibes
|
He has a chance to be the 4th player ever to have a 1000/1000 season *
Posted by MC
|
He’s only may go 1,000-1,000 for the SECOND time*
Posted by bjl63
|
Brock - “no turnovers” Brock - eh fuck it let me throw this pick 6 first play *

Well then*
Posted by John Coctostan

49ers missing a starting CB, I think Caleb may have a better passing game than expected *

I’d really like to win this game*

Let’s go Bears. *
