on October 18, 2026, 11:13:31| The Bears killed the Jets with QB2, the Patriots barely won. Will the transitive theory hold?*
Posted by Toonces
|
Previous Message| Jackson and MONANGAI bumped up to limited today, Patriots 2 starting Gs still DNP*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| The difference between the injury report of these two teams is stark. Must take advantage.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| Romeo Doubs to IR. Both their starting Gs did not practice.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Best news we could hope for on Jonah Jackson. Hip flexor, shouldn’t be a long-term injury.
Posted by OB25
|
| I still can’t get over the lack of Bijan yesterday
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| seems like they got behind the sticks or discouraged by a few bad screens?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Not as easy when you have the ball less than 20 minutes*
Posted by bjl63
|
| That’s why I pointed their starting drives
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| same. i thought bijan would carve us up
Posted by VIV
|
| He should have had 20+ carries for the game. It’s insane they didn’t utilize him. *
Posted by harb
|
| I did love Allen’s strategy for keeping Bijan out of the passing game.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| For those inclined to shit on PFF: JJ McCarthy graded out better than Caleb yesterday
Posted by AintHatin
|
| It was reminiscent of his 4th quarter performance against the bears last year.
Posted by Toonces
|
| so they must not factor in garbage time?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| They don't factor in quarterback play*
Posted by AintHatin
|
| but picks on penalties do?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| 100% engagement bait*
Posted by Sammich
|
| If Gordon were a DE, we would be talking about his elite bend. What a force for the two games a year
Posted by gvibes
|
| So is Logan Jones now the starting C? And Ozzy starting LT?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Bradbury is ass, not much to lose there. Guessing Trapilo stays on a snap count*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Indeed, need Jones to take that spot asap.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Jonah Jackson injury is bigger concern. He’s a huge part of the run game.*
Posted by OB25
|
| For sure. Newman has been ok in spot duty I thought but we are still losing a lot*
Posted by gvibes
|
| If it makes anyone feel better the Patriots had three starting OL get hurt yesterday
Posted by AintHatin
|
| Sounds like Romeo Doubs got hurt too and likely won’t play Thursday*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| that’s all good. as lovie used to say, if somebody doesn’t return to a game
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Caleb was 24/24 for 248 yards from a clean pocket per next gen stats *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| I’m sure PFF will rank him like 87th for the week regardless*
Posted by bjl63
|
| He did have a near interception on a play that didn’t count*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| In other nfl news...they really need to end these pre/post halftime coaches "interviews"
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Similarly, MLB between innings and college hoops during a TV timeout.
Posted by Waka
|
| all that stuff is for the non-fans who need some human drama
Posted by Sammich
|
| Had to listen on the radio today. Man, the Bears booth is pretty bad
Posted by bjl63
|
| they are borderline unlistenable and it's been a few years now
Posted by apusikam
|
| Everything is sponsored, Joniak seems preoccupied, this 3rd and long brought to you by Hims
Posted by illini222
|
| he always tries to over articulate things, which is beyond painful. it’s a football game
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yeah it’s getting rough. Thayer needs to be replaced.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Joniak is worse IMO*
Posted by bjl63
|
| I feel like it wasn’t always this way? That he used to be good.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| He was never in Wayne Larrivee’s league
Posted by bjl63
|
| Same. Can you please give me the gain on the play and down and distance?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| ATL had like a 30+ yard play and I had no idea
Posted by bjl63
|
| stefanski said the falcons had to go on a silent count today.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| o’b going off on sweat, and caleb wearing sunglasses a few weeks ago!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| old man yells at cloud. Film at 11*
Posted by DanSaint
|
| gordon 1st bears db with 3 sacks since 1983.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Didn’t need to sweat it out, but still a very impressive win.
Posted by OB25
|
| agreed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| It wasn’t just his running. The ball didn’t explode out of his hand like it usually does.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Some guy out there had like a +5000 bet on Roschon 2+ TD’s*
Posted by OB25
|
| Just take the TD, dude*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Yeah, no harm in scoring*
Posted by timmer
|
| meh. no reason to extend the game and make your defense go out there again.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| And yes, I understand he did the right thing*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Smart move after fumbling the ball*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| I’m just happy they picked up the ball. Seen too many times they just let it go*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| kyler gordon game.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Who knew Kyler Gordon was the greatest player in NFL history*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| He rushes the QB like a big cat*
Posted by assassin
|
| when dennis allen was hired he was more excited about him than any other player.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| kyler gordon game.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| What a remarkable game by Gordon.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Maybe they should block Gordon*
Posted by shua
|
| Even with everything else going on, all you have to do is stop 1 of 3 two-point conversions*
Posted by OB25
|
| Setting up nicely for ATL to tie and Caleb to drive for the win *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Maybe it was bad idea to stop trying with 10 minutes to go*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| This is insane. As mad at a Bears coach as I can remember being. No idea what he was thinking*
Posted by OB25
|
| I mean I assume Roschon knows he shouldn’t fumble.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| how about taking the starters out?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I’m clearly not talking about that.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Sure but the starters just got steamrolled too*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| If that was an OPI on Loveland earlier, then that was one on Dotson there.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Certainly as much OPI as Loveland…*
Posted by assassin
|
| Agreed*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| you can’t make this up.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| You really have one job there*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Christ*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| I mean*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| unreal.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Kinda feels like one possession too soon to put the 2nd string defense in*
Posted by OB25
|
| Definitely feels like that now*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| not to mention having a kicker with a weak leg cost us another fg.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I mean that was pretty brutal. And why not put them in for the 2pt at least?*
Posted by OB25
|
| agreed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Logan Jones in the game?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| um, run the ball?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| This style probably has a ceiling to it when you run into the top QB’s and play callers, but…
Posted by OB25
|
| Bum slayer pass rush *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Mostly off blitzing but we get more pressure without Sweat*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| who? cut his ass when you can.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Has anyone lost 31-7 and then won 31-7 in back to back weeks?
Posted by assassin
|
| lol nm we gonna score again *
Posted by assassin
|
| Very dumb*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| The needle drops today by Fox have been excellent.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Fun!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Today is the best game I’ve ever seen out of Roschon.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Fun!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| What the heck was that dance?*
Posted by Sammich
|
| It’s hard to look cool dancing with the world’s largest guardian helmet on. But more power to him*
Posted by OB25
|
| have to score here.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Could we not have chosen a rekick there? Why wouldn’t you?*
Posted by OB25
|
| Gives us a chance to rough the kicker*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| lmao*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Holy shit what a punt*
Posted by OB25
|
| That traveled like 75 yards in the air*
Posted by illini21
|
| Another uncalled hold (this one against Jarrett). May have kept him from getting to the fumble
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Is it legal to hold a guy going after a fumble? I assume it is?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| You gotta enjoy the 2-3 games a year you get from Gordon, heh*
Posted by OB25
|
| Apparently Gordon playing Edge has been the missing piece to this D*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Hey HEY! They can call a hold on the Falcons.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| When it’s like a 3 yard penalty*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| And they conveniently miss the obvious holding on gunner
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| That offensive PI was laughable.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Now that’s a tackle. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Oh fuck right off
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Fuck these refs*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| What in the world is going on with these refs*
Posted by OB25
|
| That’s fucking ridiculous*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| bad officials is now an epidemic *
Posted by Poldark "The game was fun and glad that Fitzee decided he'd had enough football and wanted to go slap asses in the shower room."
|
| this is where not having a real kicker hurts.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Here we are again. One first down away from likely going up 3 scores barring a turnover*
Posted by OB25
|
| Nice job making asses of yourself, Bears fans. Chanting Green Bay sucks during that scene*
Posted by OB25
|
| terrible for many reasons.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| So many promising screens where the linemen miss blocks*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Better field position than would have had without the roughing penalty *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Just like they drew it up.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| 4D chess*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Jaylon Johnson made a play!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| and gordon is making a difference.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| What an awesome job by the defense*
Posted by OB25
|
| Yep, felt like a potential game changing penalty*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Thanks Falcons*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Felt like you damn near had the game in the bag. Come on man*
Posted by OB25
|
| With lead, no need to go after a block*
Posted by shua
|
| So fucking stupid*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Well shit*
Posted by shua
|
| Jesus*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| fire hightower!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| God damnit*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| How about a hold on Atlanta?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| You were given that free 7, take the win and just get to halftime*
Posted by OB25
|
| 8 penalties for 65 yarda in one half!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| ...and a 21-7 lead
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| That’s good news. Ari doesn’t comment on positives.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| detlef didn't include that in his programming when he released the bot.*
Posted by Illiniphil
|
| Feel free to call some on Atlanta too, refs*
Posted by OB25
|
| So many penalties*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| That’s definitely on Loveland*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| “Why woulda Michigan man do that?” LOL.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Meh. Ball was thrown behind him. *
Posted by harb
|
| If the ball is thrown farther Loveland is out of bounds
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| agreed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Because Caleb made the correct read on the route and Loveland didn’t.*
Posted by OB25
|
| I guess we will never know…huh? Blame whoever you want. *
Posted by harb
|
| I prefer to blame the person who was at fault...in this case Loveland
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Again…meh. A better thrown ball…maybe he stutter steps inbounds. Who knows? *
Posted by harb
|
| If he threw it to him he’d be out of bounds*
Posted by shua
|
| Should have led him right out of bounds*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| ffs.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Taylor knuckle ball spin works again *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Thanks Falcons*
Posted by illini21
|
| Lol*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Wow. *
Posted by harb
|
| That was a semi-weak flag*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Love the commentary of “well this is a high penalty crew”*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| crazy how much the momentum changed after that last botched drive.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| so many penalties.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Holding, holding, holding….rinse repeat. *
Posted by harb
|
| Haha thanks for the jinx Kevin*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| turn around!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Legend of Theineman*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Don’t love an outside toss to the slowest RB in the league when you’re a few yards from going up 17
Posted by OB25
|
| just like clockwork.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| big momentum change there*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Ben does the weirdest shit sometimes*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| caleb was pissed at somebody.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| should’ve run it on 3rd down. santos is such a crap shoot over 50 yards.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| On the bright side, Santos’ kick wasn’t blocked*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Terrible call.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Eh maybe not I guess*
Posted by OB25
|
| Lulz. That was an easy call. *
Posted by harb
|
| At first I thought he just plowed him over. Replay showed otherwise.*
Posted by OB25
|
| should’ve. no reason to put his hands on him there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yep. Can’t bear hug him. *
Posted by harb
|
| especially when your twice the size of him!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| So great having Caleb on the protected species list this year*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Dennis Allen is certainly doing the most with what he has. Impressive. Let’s bury them now*
Posted by OB25
|
| gordon x 2!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Kyler Gordon has excellent feet*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| As a Tom Brady skeptic, gotta say he is really good at this*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Yep. He’s been good at this and in many ways the anti-Aikman.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Jaylon burned again. Got away with that one*
Posted by OB25
|
| In the upper deck it’s 2/3 Bears fans*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
| come on taylor. got to have a better punt than that.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Atlanta better figure out these crossing patterns or they’re gonna get merc’d*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Vintage Zaccheus*
Posted by OB25
|
| DA is absolutely in Atlanta’s OODA loop right now. Living in it*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| That last throw to Bijan couldn’t have been more telegraphed.
Posted by OB25
|
| all over those screens.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Reminder that Ed O’Bradovic said the Bears should trade Caleb and give the keys to Bagent 2 wks ago*
Posted by OB25
|
| We’re so back*
Posted by AintHatin
|
| nice to see caleb playing with a chip on his shoulder to boot.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| The aristo…*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| This is acceptable so far*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Sounds like a lot of bears fans are there.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Shit like that is why I’m not ready to give up on Odunze.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Love the energy so far*
Posted by illini21
|
| Nice D.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Street’s ahead!*
Posted by shua
|
| Street gang!*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| now to see if we can stop them.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| That was some good stuff there*
Posted by OB25
|
| Can’t believe he hauled that in. Arms extended high to low. That’s a drop for most TEs*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Nm*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| That will do*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Sooo nice to have him back*
Posted by illini21
|
| What a throw and catch*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Awesome grab by Loveland*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Whoooo!*
Posted by Toonces
|
| Bro*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| caleb moving around nicely.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Why are we still doing this with Roush?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| another negative play by the rookie te.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Holy cow there’s a lot of Bears fans there**
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| My friend flew from Pittsburgh to Austin through Atlanta on Friday and said his plane was full
Posted by ATL
|
| Greg Olsen has a really weird combover *
Posted by ATL
|
| Not much confidence with no Monongai and a rusty Caleb*
Posted by opossum jenkins
