Caleb clearly wasn’t at his best today - but I think he had a few 20 plus yarders dropped. He missed a few big plays early - but Flores brought the heat and in the end Caleb didn’t make the costly turnover and did enough to win. Id say that was kind of a floor game from him against a very aggressive DC on the road. Herbert threw for under 100 vs the Jags. He still has growth but he started finding TEa and I think at some point he will figure out the deep ball accuracy (it wasn’t good today but it has been improved year over year and I think if he keeps working he still has a lot of room in terms of upside!!!

Defense might look quite a bit different in 1-2 weeks with JJ, Gordon and Edward’s back.

Wasn’t pretty - but road win in division - yes sir!!! Let’s go Bears!!!

Crazy - JJ listed as questionable. My vote is don't play him but maybe that is a great sign as to where he is.

Awesome news - lets not rush him - maybe its the Eagles game we get him back, but even if it is for right after Eagles game and he had time to get his body adjusted and we can get the real JJ back for the rest of the year that would be awesome.

They also had no Giddey and they clearly miss White too..

I had them at around 8 wins, maybe 9 - I probably at this point have them at 9 wins. Offense is picking up better than I thought, defense worse, but they certainly have benefited from a bad schedule, but you also see real progress (albeit plenty of flaws). Its why I was pretty adamant that trading assets this year would have been a mistake as well. With that said - if they make real progress and can fix some of their challenges and we see real player development (which I wouldn't bet against), I could see them hitting 10 (11 seems tough given the schedule and the defense). LT and pass rusher are very clear needs.

They are still just a mediocre football team - but they are also just a half season into Ben Johnson's tenure with a young QB who clearly still has a lot of room to grow. He still makes mistakes and misses at times, but you can see real progress, and of course real frustrations still exist. He played way better than the stats indicated, but he also had a few opportunities where he bailed his own self out. Even on that final TD run, he had Kmet immediately open for a nice gain and clearly had Zacheus open for what probably is a TD (presuming he caught it). Now in those conditions maybe he just figured, take the run which was clearly for there a solid gain in those conditions. But there were also a few where a better ball and they could have had a big play. But in fairness, beyond the drops - very rarely have we seen a Bears wideout or tight end make a play for his QB this year - I'm hoping that is to come. Loveland's catch in the 4th was pretty good - but nothing like we have seen regularly done against the Bears. With that said - I have so much confidence in seeing this team continue to develop and grow as the season goes and into next year. Defensively they are a flawed team, especially with the major injuries to core DB's. This was a flawed defense to start - those injuries combined with TJ Edwards are pretty tough to overcome. With that said - hopefully we see some growth and see a few players step up and they do end up getting back JJ and Gordon with enough time for them to play meaningful football and be meaningful contributors to the Bears this season (and they look like their high end selves).

If they could catch the ball he would have thrown for 300 yards and 2 more TDs. He still isn’t where he needs to be but you can see the upside when he puts it all together!

If report is true and Jets just got a 2nd rounder from Dallas next year and than a 1st the following year - than I really like what the Jets are doing. No clue what the Cowboys are doing - he's a good player and that is a fair price - but not the time to be doing that Jerry.

Looks like he has done almost zilch for Cleveland. If they were going to make a trade - at least this is the type I would have probably be fine with - moving down 1 round and very end of the draft type of move. 7th rounder from Cleveland should be early and hopefully Bears are picking in the 15-23 range so the relative move is more like half a round shift. Former 1st round pick by Bucs.

Wow - hate that deal for the Colts. Great move by Jets. Colts going all in - which is great - but that is a lot of draft capital for a DB, even one as good as Sauce.

Former 2nd round pick - 26. I’m all in on signing him. No clue if he is able to play but worth it for a one year deal - much better than giving up long term assets when this team is clearly still far away from being a real contender. I am terrified what our lousy GM might do in a deadline panic move that at best moves us from an 8-10 win team to a 9-10 win team that has zero chance at winning the Super Bowl (or at least zero chance the player they acquire helps them win one this year).

Stinks - was hoping somehow he'd start to emerge more as he had more time in the system (otherwise he just looks like "JAG" and I'm sure coming back from an achilles won't make him any better). Looks like a pretty big waste of money - but I do wish him the best in his recovery.

My hope is this prevents the Bears from getting over their skills and giving up assets for a short term rental. I get that they have needs, but this team is still plenty flawed, let them continue to grow this year, maybe they squeak into the playoffs, maybe they don't, but this isn't the year to go big.

Caleb looks like the world’s best QB compared to how Darnold looked 1.5 years into his career. People have to be patient with Caleb - he is already solid, yet has is frustrated cause we see there is so much still to grow. This is first year really working from the center and you can see growth - low points too - but he showed flashed some good stuff today and the offense had some more drops and he had a few misreads too. I think the next growth we will see with this offense is them starting to get the scramble drill chemistry - when that happens we are going to see some more explosives for the Bears and it will kind of force defenses to play different this enabling Caleb to continue to advancing his ability from there to be a stronger middle of the field passer!

Also nice to see a few of this years draft picks contribute - in Loveland and Monagai. Now keep grinding and keep working. Giants aren't some pushover - quite frankly with our defense as decimated as it is in the secondary, no one can be considered a push over. Let's make it a winning streak.

Total beast. Loved it!!! Loveland made a few plays too.

This - offense played well. Caleb still leaving stuff out there and can improve - but we know that. He flashed some special out there today and at some point the offense is going to figure out how to work the scramble drill and I think at that point we'll see this unit consistently elevate their output. Insane that they blew it though - defense decimated or not, not okay, but really nice to see offense pick the D up. Special teams really gets no love from me. Pathetic. Consistently pathetic. Odunze too. Another couple drops.

Best World Series I have ever seen.

Hopefully whatever the injury is - it doesn't prevent Turner from putting in the work in the off-season to make real strides. The reality is I think Loveland and Burton will be good players (just bad use of picks relative to the Bears / broader needs / value) while Trapillo at least looks like could play the part at RT (but clearly not an LT) which drives the same question around need / team fit.

Heads is smiling at this from heaven

It comes down to not getting TDs in red zone. Been a problem for 3-4 weeks and it’s the penalties, execution, maybe play calling a bit and Caleb struggling when the field gets tight - but it isn’t anyone thing, but a bunch. Had Bears finished first two drives I bet this is a very different football game.

The problem is the Bears secondary against Joe with those wideouts is a bad combo. But god these penalties are so bad. Caleb just has to let loose - feels like he is playing too cautious. Just thinking too much.

Caleb needs to be better - the offense has to be better. Defense I’ll give a partial pass due to the db injured but Poles wasted picks everywhere.
