Good/Better/Best plus game balls

I haven't been around long enough to see Bears Packers games from the 90s...so my experience in this rivalry has mostly been the Packers kicking our ass after the Lovie years. I know there's gonna be some recency bias in this, but this has to be the best Bears Packers game in the last 30 years right? I'm sure Packers fans might say the 2013 week 17 or 2018 week 1 might be better cause they won, but none of those games featured 10 pt come backs with 5 minutes left and a walk off touchdown in OT.

Does Chris Getz even have a TikTok account? Surely Schiffren does.

Looks like he was in NYC

This was like watching a Eberflus defense. They sat in zone all game and never got much pressure rushing 4. Allen getting beat deep twice in the last matchup made him extremely conservative. It would have worked better if the offense didn't keep stalling right outside FG range for most of the game.

This was Caleb's breakout moment. The throws to Walker and Moore were absolutely insane. It's crazy how he just activates when he's in gotta have it situation.

He.Gets.Chicago.Now Jayden Daniels, meanwhile...his durability at that size was always a question mark. Maye has obviously been great, too. One second half against Buffalo from clinching MVP. Not seeing Moore/Mendoza coming anywhere close to that class.

Yeah, but they continue to be unable to get off the field. No punts forced all game.

Waiting for Bregman decision. More like exploratory discussions/setting parameters. See Detroit. Houston Philly Blue Jays SFG DBacks etc.

Imai has Boras as his agent, so there's just no way they're a package deal with Murakami... Cubs also seem to have no interest in getting involved with Boras clients this FA period.

"Kicked the tires" feels lower on the "seat at the table" scale than "engaged in talks" but who knows.

Absolutely wild thread to catch up on. Bravo, y'all.

Yep, and only 3 to Love in almost a half of football

As much as the defense frustrated all of us, they only gave up 16 points

Very well coached, LeFleur had Allen on skates most of the game

"The Chicago Cubs may not be fully sold on pursuing Japanese pitching star Tatsuya Imai, according to recent insider commentary. While the Cubs have been linked to Imai as they explore rotation upgrades, a team insider suggested there is hesitation about committing significant resources without clearer long-term certainty. Concerns reportedly center on the transition to MLB, workload management, and how Imai would fit within the club’s broader development timeline. Chicago remains active in the pitching market but appears determined to avoid overextending financially or blocking younger arms in the system. Imai’s power repertoire and success overseas continue to draw league-wide attention, yet the Cubs are believed to be weighing upside against risk. As the offseason unfolds, Chicago’s cautious approach highlights a front office focused on sustainability rather than splashy moves, even as fans push for aggressive additions." #TatsuyaImai #ChicagoCubs #MLB

Me neither. That is a damn good team.

It's not that serious bro, but you came in saying this team would get embarrassed in the playoffs while I'm just thinking making the damn playoffs in year one of BJ is a MASSIVE STEP FORWARD. I'm looking big picture, we played GB tough both games, when they had both Love and Parsons in GB, I like our trajectory so far, ok?

Just to be clear, Caleb still needs to put it together but I have seen enough to believe that with BJ, he can blossom into a legit franchise QB, he has led too many 4th quarter drives to tell me it's a fluke. The defense needs massive upgrades in talent, especially DL and LB, I believe the offense has enough talent that with one more year of BJ, they can still be better.

A Christmas miracle indeed. Although I really don't want to have to play the Packers again in the playoffs.

I never s%*# on you and if a game dictates your mood to this extent, you should look into another hobby.

"On December 17, Francys Romero reported that Tatsuya Imai’s free agency has effectively narrowed to two finalists: the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs. The Yankees are pushing hard due to injuries across their rotation and their long-standing pursuit of a Japanese star. Tatsuya Imai’s preference to join a team without current Japanese players also aligns with New York. The Cubs remain deeply involved, viewing him as a potential top-of-the-rotation anchor and reportedly holding off on other moves while waiting on his decision." Just don't be the Cubs for BOTH Imai and Murakami... Can't see them bidding over $200 million for a pitcher. Thought Imai was SFG bound? "The Yankees not having a meeting with Imai is surprising. Especially given the fact that New York had been considered a frontrunner for the right-hander..."

Caleb's on his 3rd head coach and 4th offensive play caller in 2 years and he just keeps looking better. And this is just year 1 of Ben Johnson.

You joke but I remember hearing Imanaga going to Blackhawks games prior to signing with Cubs
