This fucking defense. Penalties. And the Bears may have lost Cole Kmet for the season. This night was a disaster. How they won is beyond me. They did what they could to piss it away. It had the makings of a very bad loss. Yet, here we are.
Yes, I know these Thursday games are weird and teams are just off. But again, the Patriots are playing on the same rest. No excuses at all.
It’s late. I have a lot of shit to do. This will be quick.
Caleb was outstanding. He was making big clutch plays despite the circumstances. 4/12 on third down isn’t great. But the offense did just enough. But damn, this team could be in a bad place if Cole Kmet is out for a long time. Sam Roush fucking sucks and has no business being in the NFL. Colston Loveland can’t do it on his own. The Bears need Kmet.
Fuck this defense. Jaylon Johnson is fucking rotten. And how the fuck do you give up that touchdown at the end of the half? That is awful. It makes you think Mel Tucker is in charge of this defense again. This team has a history of giving up touchdowns right before halftime. It happened in the most shitty of ways. Thank God for Cairo Santos to step up when it mattered the most. Yeah, his missed field goal really pissed me prior to that. But when it mattered, he got it done. And big shoutout to Rome Odunze for recovering that onside kick. If the Patriots recover that, you can be certain the Bears lose that game.
The Bears play the Seahawks on the road a week from Monday.

Optimistic meatball Dave here. Caleb to Burden is the most badass QB-WR connection in the league right now. Caleb has thrown at Burden 17 times, there have been zero drops. Burden is also a YAC machine, that early pass play, then the 3rd down screen pass for a touchdown. Odunze is playing a lot better now. Monangai is probably ready to go at Seattle. Bears can beat them, they ain’t special.
Kmet looks like he is out with significant muscle or ligament tear, perhaps the Bears can trade for Sam LaPorta on the last place Lions, they’re still not extending him. Though I would go after pass rusher or corner (Jaylon Johnson, you BUM, what the fuck is wrong with you!?) before pursuing another tight end. Roush can use this time to try to prove himself, and Loveland can keep being a badass.
I wanted Santos cut after that doink from 53, he’s missed a lot lately. But the after that 58 yd dagger I wonder if there is anyone available who is better.
The Chicago Bears, are doing something they have never done before, they are developing an elite quarterback. Caleb’s touchdown to interception ratio is getting bigger every game, and he only needs 298 passing yards over the final 10 games to become a 4000 yard passer.
If the Bears can get a tad better on defense, they will contend, I don’t see a glaring loss on the schedule. The Jags and Bills games might be tough, but I think we can beat anyone right now. The Packers game would have been different had Caleb and Monangai been available for it and Caleb probably would have pulled a win out of his ass vs the Vikings had the injury not happened.
The #1 regressing team predicted in preseason, is not regressing so far.

Shit, shit, shit!!!!!! Kmet is out for the rest of the year.
SHIIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!!!!

This is fucking shitty. I had a bad feeling. Now, we have to see Sam Roush out there dropping passes and missing blocks. Kmet was a great blocker and could fight his way to get yards due to his size. This offense is more fucked now.

Cut Jaylon BUMson right now. He’s suddenly a slow runner and refuses to tackle. These contracts need performance stipulations and players start forfeiting guaranteed money if they start loafing out there on the field. I feel that though Stevenson sucks on coverage, he is a very willing tackler most of the time, and actually he made a great coverage play on a deep ball vs the Partiots which would have been a touchdown. Then of course, Kyler Gordon and the rookie corner are playing their asses off. Jaylon’s gotta go! They better not put him on JSN next weekend or he will have 300 receiving yards!

The Bears have just traded for all-pro defensive tackle from the Titans, Jeffery Simmons. Of course, the Bears overpaid with two first-round picks and a fourth-round next year. He’s 29 and may only have two or three years left to play. The 49ers got DeForest Buckner at 32 and gave up a fourth-round pick next year.
I really don’t want this to be like Khalil Mack where he is good for about six games and completely falls off the rails after. That’s what I am terrified about.

Simmons is gonna be motivated coming off the 1 win Titans. The first round picks the Bears have traded away are likely to be late in the round due to their likely high-level performance and probable winning seasons over the next two years. Good move IMO, but a little pricey in the draft capital department. Overall, I like it. We still need a cornerback or a Jaylon Johnson redemption story. JSN will burn the Bears secondary Monday night.

Nashon Wright seems wants to be traded back to the Bears, he put up pro bowl numbers with us last year despite having a slower speed. He jumps routes, gets interceptions and fumbles and is a willing tackler unlike Johnson. Isn’t he the one who forced a fumble on a Jalen Hurts tush push play in the Black Friday game vs the Eagles last year? He’s worth a 7th rounder I would say.
Also, back to the Simmons trade, it came with a 5th round pick which is what Mack is believed to be currently worth, could that be used in a trade for Mack? JSN may burn our secondary, but if Sam Darnold is pressured/sacked then JSN may not have the football in his hand when he does so. Also, no excuses for Montez Sweat now, gotta get home with the extra help. I also expect Austin Booker’s development to accelerate some.

Yes, if the Bears win the Super Bowl this year, this trade is worth it all. He can tail off next year and we will still be happy. This is what Ryan Poles is banking on. Their window is here and the rest of the team needs to step up.
This trade was also made because the secondary is trash. They can’t cover anybody and while I keep forgetting Coby Bryant is coming back in December, having a pass rush like this is needed.
If the Bears can get back NaShon Wright for sixth or seventh, fine. I really don’t want Khalil Mack to return because they would have to give up an earlier pick. The Bears still need assets going into the next draft.
