| Last time Bears starting 3 different QBs in a row. 2021. Fields L, Foles W, Dalton W*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Probably the right call. And Schefter already alluded to it a few days ago. *
Posted by harb
|
| Seemingly wild decision-making*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Well, he's the official #2. So you kinda have to start him if he's good to go.
Posted by JFG
|
| Keenum was great on Monday but not much of that was sustainable.
Posted by OB25
|
| Yeah on replay we got basically the best possible outcome*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Dude caught lightning in a bottle but there were at least four or five “no no yes” throws *

|
| Old Martz play. Bulger ran it a ton*
Posted by gvibes
|
| lol the Bears met with the state and Warren didn’t attend. *
Posted by illini
|
| He should be let go. He serves no purpose*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| His only job now appears to be getting his mug in postgame celebration videos now.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| He’s basically become Trump in the World Cup trophy photo*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| They’ve been doing that for a month or two now. Pat Ryan has taken the lead*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Which is LOL worthy seeing that’s why he was hired. But he’s been clueless

| When the speaker of the house says they got the right people to the table

|
| Also I believe I read this is the first time Goodell has become hands on in stadium discussions

|
| Jayden Reed done for the year in GB with a neck injury requiring surgery*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Joey porter jr traded to Dallas*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Drafted with the pick we traded for Chase Claypool. At least he didn’t out to be a stud*
Posted by OB25
|
| Or I guess maybe he is really good and they’re still trading him for some reason?*
Posted by OB25
|
| Contract / money is the reason *
Posted by RD
|
| Guaranteed money, to be exact. Steelers and Bengals still roll old school and
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Kyler Gordon eligible to practice off PUP and estimated to have practiced in full?
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Holy cow, Falcons just gave Gervon Dexter $78M ($46.5M guaranteed)
Posted by OB25
|
| ian is all over this move
Posted by digs
|
| He has played really well for them so far.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| well, it is the poles tree.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| All-timer from ArtButMakeItSports last night:
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| He milked that hit hard on the ground
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Crazy that Sirianni didn’t call a timeout before the 3rd down too.*
Posted by OB25
|
| they did successfully use those timeouts to score with one second left later in the half at least*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Bears/Packers week 5 flexed out of 3:25 time slot and moved up to Noon*
Posted by OB25
|
| damn, I'll probably still get the Vikings/Saints here in Atlanta in the early Fox slot*
Posted by shua
|
| The goddamn 3-0 Vikings are pissing me off. They play Miami next week and will be 4-0.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| nobody but the flower and the bears offense to blame for that.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| i'm really hoping someone hires him away from minnesota this offseason*
Posted by VIV
|
| him = flores?*
Posted by torinese
|
| yeah*
Posted by VIV
|
| i'm not going to speak for ari, but i've heard that term used more for la fleur*
Posted by torinese
|
| correct: he handed that game to the vikings.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| ah, i thought we were talking vikes and flores = flower*
Posted by VIV
|
| That is literally what it means - Flores/Flowers. So not a wrong read *
Posted by RD
|
| it was the definite article that tipped it for me*
Posted by torinese
|
| LaFleur (The Flower) doesn't coach for Minnesota. Between him and KOC they have elite coaching.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| again, not speaking for anyone, by my brain interpreted blaming the packers head coach for the...
Posted by torinese
|
| IC. I think we're square now.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| Understandable. Caleb's out and the Packers suck balls.*
Posted by Sammich
|
| (anything scientifically possible on this earth) and the Packers suck balls. (FIFY)
Posted by osklister
|
| More PFF…
Posted by illini21
|
| it's almost like PFF is worthless
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Maybe everyone needs to stop looking at PFF anymore*
Posted by bjl63
|
| I could be convinced that it's engagement farming at this point*
Posted by Sammich
|
| it has to be. they lost some of their best analysts, but i'm sure their marketing/finance metrics
Posted by torinese
|
| Lulz.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| Always hard when you're at the game, but felt like the Eagles playcalling was straight ass
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| If a game lasts more than four hours, call your doctor*
Posted by Sammich
|
| "I may not be a Cowboy, but this is not my first f*&#ing rodeo." Lol. Awesome. All the feels last
Posted by LovetheChief
|
| It always pisses me off to see Kevin Warren position himself front and center during these.
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| He's the absolute worst.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| Important question: are we going to get JTOS/QB School breakdown of Keenum.
Posted by gvibes
|
| So Case is starting Sunday right?
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| I thought this after the game but then settled on the fact that it probably has to be Bagent
Posted by OB25
|
| Gotta be Bagent - as wonderful as last night was, Case made some dangerous throws
Posted by aimlessillini
|
| last night was a great demonstration of what case still can and can't do
Posted by VIV
|
| i expect bagent*
Posted by VIV
|
| Schefter pretty much alluded to the same thing this morning on ESPN radio….
Posted by harb
|
| Case

|
| Not sure why I typed Cade. Oh well. *
Posted by harb
|
| McNown?*
Posted by Tortillini
|
| MaGowan?*
Posted by VIV
|
| Kyle Orkman?*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
| I predict THERIOT*
Posted by Sammich
|
| That would not be very pretty I tell thee*
Posted by PapaDels
|
| I think you have to start him*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| I hope so*
Posted by illini21
|
| Ben sounded like it was going to be bagent*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Theinemen is everywhere. What a stud.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| ThieneMAN and Muhammad, man. Or as I call them, "MADMAN". Great adds.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| Maybe the best player on defense. Also did a torn achilles improve dayo somehow?
Posted by gvibes
|
| Yeah, he's been solid. Everyone contributing on defense, you love to see it.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| LOL Caleb is just a weird dude. Why the hell is he wearing a robe
Posted by OB25
|
| My first thought was he was taking advantage of the rehab facilities*.
Posted by ibdoc
|
| I keep giggling at this
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Oh god I remember that Todd Collins win in 2010 (only older Bears QB to get win). Was a disaster*
Posted by OB25
|
| Victory Tuesday!*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Most fun game relative to my pregame excitement level in a long time*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Irrationally makes me more frustrated about last week. But legit really good performance*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| This is an excellent win and an exceptionally bad coaching job by Sirianni*
Posted by VIV
|
| Agreed. What a win. *
Posted by harb
|
| huge win. gets them back on track and buys some time.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Get Bagent some work, must protect CK.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| what an ass licking.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Hey whatever they’re into*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Jelly or syrup?*
Posted by VIV
|
| Por que no los dos?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| 10 penalties. Woof*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| This is a Ben master class jesus*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Case Keemun, huh?*
Posted by Toonces
|
| There’s a reason Goff flirted with being an MVP candidate and why Purdy is so good.
Posted by OB25
|
| Goff was the overall number one pick.... *
Posted by bulldogmba
|
| And the Rams were done with him.*
Posted by OB25
|
| So basically the thesis is quarterbacks need to be in the right system....*
Posted by bulldogmba
|
| I’m just saying if you can process quickly, a coach like Ben Johnson can do wonders for you.
Posted by OB25
|
| hopefully caleb and bagent were taking some notes tonight. master class in running benjo’s stuff.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yes sir*
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
| vic got pwned again by ben tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Case Keenum owns Vic*
Posted by VIV
|
| That was sick. Did he just do that on his own?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Not bad for a 105 year old!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Heh fair*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| haha called his own number *
Posted by assassin
|
| Philly d is roushing tonight*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| fucking rome.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Come the fuck on, Rome.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| wearing them down.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Poor Tyson Bagent*
Posted by OB25
|
| We probably coulda got a 3rd out of the giants*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Amazing. That’s so bad*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| loveland please.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Sirianni having a disasterclass 3 quarters. *
Posted by VIV
|
| Did Dennis Allen just decide to steal Brian Flores’ shit after last week? I feel like he did.
Posted by OB25
|
| I almost made the same point. Like did Ben see something in preparing for the vikes
Posted by gvibes
|
| he’s always blitzed a lot?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Having everyone up at the line so often feels different, but I could be wrong.*
Posted by OB25
|
| He saved it for the 2nd half, just a different sets of fronts and rushes this half*
Posted by illini222
|
| Pick!*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| They don’t go on 4th and 2 but go on 4th and 5 from like 7 yards downfield?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| sirianni is a dope.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Especially right after your D gets a 3 & out. wtf are they doing?*
Posted by VIV
|
| raymond shaken up on the last play.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| He might be becoming too valuable to be back there*
Posted by OB25
|
| Agree but man the other punt returner was awful*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Mrs. Keenum gonna be walking with a limp tomorrow *
Posted by biclops
|
| Thank you ref for a helpful spot*
Posted by OB25
|
| fire hightower.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| What in the AI slop was that *
Posted by assassin
|
| awful.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| How is santos the only guy that hasn’t figured out the kickoffs*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Ha the off target throw actually is what turned it into a TD, twisted the safety around*
Posted by OB25
|
| Damn Caleb is a system Qb I guess. *
Posted by MC
|
| Keenum just dicing this pass defense up.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| so good getting them up to the line to read the defense and run motion with plenty of time
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| So good between the 20s*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Shockingly good stuff from the defense again. Even Jaylon making a play*
Posted by OB25
|
| Yeah they are looking better than prior weeks*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Cairo is killing me with these kickoffs this season. Just kick it in the damn landing zone*
Posted by OB25
|
| WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON*
Posted by OB25
|
| Arm just isn’t what it was, Case. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Also Mitchell is really really good*
Posted by gvibes
|
| should’ve gone to loveland there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yup*
Posted by assassin
|
| Every pass the Eagles throw is a gift to the Bears. They’re dominating the LOS.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Yes*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| good stop, but that could’ve been a pick.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Well I’ll be damned. Great job D*
Posted by OB25
|
| The defense is even worse in person*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Honestly it kind of looks better than the last two weeks*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Somehow has managed to give up only 16 points in the last 6 quarters but we might still lose both*
Posted by OB25
|
| Wait the quarterback is allowed to run the ball at the goal line? Huh.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| I don’t think we’ve seen any evidence that our interior OL could execute a goal line sneak…
Posted by OB25
|
| no shit.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| What an insane play call with no timeouts too. Got away with it.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Interesting that Siriani said they rep that scenario in practice.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Brutal*
Posted by illini21
|
| Can you review that? I think it was 0*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| That was well done by them*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Never mind. Damn it*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| It was damn close, but they got it off.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Bears just run the same blitz 3x with Bush off the edge?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Surely they won't expect it THIS time
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| can’t let them double up here.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Welp, now we wait to see what the score is next time we have the ball.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Kmet instead of Roush blocking the left end on the FG*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| not that rousch doesn’t suck, but mannelly claims the issue was an early snap.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| That was probably the play you should have run on second down.
Posted by assassin
|
| Is jones hurt or do we rotate at LT?*
Posted by gvibes
|
| braxton jones out again?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Run game not exactly repeating last year’s performance against the Eagles.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Ben, throw the ball. They can’t stop it.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Got a lot of questions on Ben Johnson’s playcalling inside the 10*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Maybe that drop will wake Odunze the fuck up*
Posted by OB25
|
| Keenum is throwing some great anticipation balls. Impressive*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Crazy good. That burden leak play for instance? Wild*
Posted by gvibes
|
| This is legit good. Like not even on a curve. He’s fucking ballin*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Do we think that was a dirty hit? Hurts was like a half inch out*
Posted by gvibes
|
| It wasn’t dirty. But it’s going to get a flag 100/100 times in today’s nfl*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| This.*

| Agreed (and as I said below is dumb)

| Case Keenum and Andy Dalton playing in the same game lol*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Suddenly, my PTSD is acting up.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| pours one out for yoyo.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| What in the world did Dalton think he saw*
Posted by assassin
|
| Maybe he forgot he doesn’t play for the Bears*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| A Bears receiver, sleeper agent activated! *
Posted by shua
|
| lol*
Posted by biclops
|
| Pick!*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Thanks Andy*
Posted by illini21
|
| Nothing has ever been more inevitable than this 98 yard TD drive*
Posted by OB25
|
| YOUR WELCOME*
Posted by OB25
|
| Andy Dalton to the rescue*
Posted by illini222
|
| That Philly line is absolutely mauling *
Posted by assassin
|
| Who was he calling a pussy?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| That was dumb, but he was pretty close to inbounds when he got hit*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| That last step looked in bounds to me *
Posted by assassin
|
| If Barkley doesn’t get 40 carries tonight Siriani should be fired in the locker room*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Just going to beat ourselves again eh*
Posted by OB25
|
| He was not "well on the boundary" Joe
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| C’mon with that late hit. Ridiculous call.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Looked pretty obvious to me. That’s gonna get called 10/10 times*
Posted by illini21
|
| And it's a dumb call 10/10 times. The dude had half of his foot on the sideline
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| 100%. I’m always all for penalizing the dangerous hits, but he’s still in bounds there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Well I’m glad they called it this time lol*
Posted by illini21
|
| That was incredibly dumb*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Defensive line getting absolutely mauled*
Posted by OB25
|
| By the worst OL in football*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Stevenson benched for Muhammad?*
Posted by gvibes
|
| isn’t he hurt?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| another redzone to. not good, bob.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| The 2nd down play was on Keenum calling for the snap before Kmet was in position to block Carter*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| he bounced right off him. terrible design and execution.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| What’s disaster there. Pistol form the 1, rome drop and utter stupidity by Ben.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| I will never understand why you don’t just sneak it three times there*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| He’s 105 years old and not athletic. I’m ok not sneaking in this case*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Then go under center with 25*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Or hand it off to him out of the I
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

| Should have practiced all week with a TE doing it then
Posted by assassin
|
| 2nd and an inch*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| agreed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Odunze is such a shitter-*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Man I really think you gotta kick that FG. Only being up 7 now feels like being down 7*
Posted by OB25
|
| Agreed. *
Posted by illini21
|
| I also hate running out of the pistol on inches to go. *
Posted by assassin
|
| agreed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Also where is Monangai?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Odunze is such a bag of dicks*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| How does an NFL WR not catch that lol *
Posted by biclops
|
| Oh my fucking god. This team continues to kill itself in so many ways*
Posted by OB25
|
| lol, Odunze. Dude, your job is to catch.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Catch the fucking ball god damn*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| terrible. what a waste of a too 10 pick.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Why didn’t Loveland extend the ball *
Posted by MC
|
| He pulled it back, must have felt like he was about to lose it*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Ok don’t fuck this up at the goal line like last week.*
Posted by OB25
|
| narrator.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| And Loveland fantasy drafters continue to be in hell*
Posted by OB25
|
| almost 12 minutes top in the 1st quarter!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| All part of Sam Roush’s plan*
Posted by OB25
|
| LOL*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Peanut Punch!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Ok obviously it’s the rule but how long does the play keep going after he falls on it?
Posted by OB25
|
| Here's the specific part of the rule (per AI)
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| as my grandpa would have put it, Roush could screw up a one car funeral*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
| #lolroush*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Roush needs to be released. Adam Shaheen version 2*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Dammit, Roush with another screwup.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Roush is the dumbest mofo *
Posted by MC
|
| Yep, that’s a touchback. Roushed*
Posted by VIV
|
| That idiot slid into the endzone for no reason. That’s gonna be a touchback*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| LOL Roush again*
Posted by illini21
|
| Oh my god Roush fucked up the punt and its a touchback now*
Posted by OB25
|
| looked very close on #87 touching the goal line when he downed it*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Damn gotta make sure you actually have the free play before chucking it. Great punt though*
Posted by OB25
|
| Thought for sure that corner blitz was getting home. Little block by 62 and a deft side step by
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| lol at Sirianni*
Posted by illini21
|
| A 7 yard tush push!*
Posted by shua
|
| Totally thought he was going down at the 6 yard line. That was awesome.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Well the initial scripted plays couldn’t have gone better.*
Posted by OB25
|
| got in and out of the huddle and snapped the ball in a much better rhythm too.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Ben really on his bag that drive*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Man that was a HOT drive*
Posted by illini21
|
| Roush!*
Posted by illini21
|
| not sure I've been less excited for a Bears game in a long time*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| How you feeling now?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| that was encouraging. still a long way to go with the Bears defense and Keenum at QB...*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Valid.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| I bet people will have thoughts about a mariachi band playing the anthem *
Posted by biclops
|
| What is that based on?*
Posted by OB25
|
