It's easy to move on at this point. Hell of a few weeks though.

And also God yes on going back to the 4-3. Most teams base defense at this point is nickle or multiple anyhow but I've never been a fan of a 3-4 setup.

4 game streak for the good guys

Missed FG after the timeout only real positive for the Bears so far.

Still think we absolutely have to bring talent into the QB room. It's just a good organizational move. But, Bryce was gonna be the starter next year regardless of an absolute implosion or injury. I'm not sold on anything as far as an extension goes but I have faith in this team going into the off-season.

Hes going to want a 3 year deal from someone. I hate that it cant be us realistically but our strategy is clear. We will spend money on the offensive line and plug and play mid tier free agents at RB and build through the draft. Thats the way to go to be honest. Defense defense defense is the key now.

Im no expert, but it feels like the latter. Dave has been asked multiple times about allowing him to call plays and to my knowledge he only allowed it for a game in the preseason. So perhaps they’re grooming him to eventually become that, but it doesn’t feel like it’s for him to eventually do it here. Prolly more to prepare him to become that elsewhere. Definitely has felt like he’s more like a QC guy.

i think he will have to throw early on those slants and digs and inbreaking passes. and put mustard on them. he cant float them like he does now.

His play calling is what got him his job, might as well fire him in that case..

Im not super familiar with Izdik tbh. Is he someone Dave is grooming or is he OC in name only and a glorified position coach and Analyst?

If somebody walked away from this game thinking Bryce lost it, they are gonna hate him no matter what. I am definitely on the love/hate wagon with Bryce, but i no longer believe he has that IT gene. I know he does. Sign that 5th year option, get a tight end, LB, DE and new DC (with some balls) and let's own the NFC south for the next few years. The most important part being Evero needs to move on. JMO.

I was thinking this earlier. Ain't that some poo. However and I haven't looked up the stats yet. It feels like we saw the first real season of progression from him as a whole give or take 3 or so games. Vs when it was 1 good for every 5 bad.

Agreed. Int he threw wasn't even his fault either

Bears are not as good as their record. They have had a LOT of lucky breaks this year. Not surprised to see this happening.

This is a typical bears game, they don’t do anything in offense till the 4th quarter. Caleb accuracy is awful

I would fuging love McDaniels. I seriously doubt Canales would agree to bringing him in, but there’s no doubt, he knows what he’s doing offensively and is a disciple of Shanahan, who in my mind is the best playcaller in the league. I would be all over McDaniels to get him in here. But again, I don’t see a) Dave wanting that dynamic and giving up playcalling duties and b) It would probably cost Izdik his job, which Dave also wouldn’t be a fan of.

No reason to bash him today. He played okay in a big game. we hung around because a good team basically allowed it to happen. Which is something they do. whatever your take on Bryce after 3 years as a starter shouldn’t be much different today IMO

Yeah I came into this game honestly just happy to be here like a virgin on prom night. Now its about consistency. I can sleep well disappointed but also hopeful.

I called it when it happened that his dropped INT will lose us the game

Bears went for it on 4th deep in their own end, turned the ball over, and Packers scored a td to get to this current blowout.

Caleb Williams tonight...

I doubt Canales would be forced to do something like that considering how the season ended. And i don't think he'd make that decision himself either. Offensive minded head coaches don't like giving up play calling

Our lord and Slavior!

Yeah thats kinda what I figured. Consider it a quip more than anything. He was just the first name that came to mind while thinking of a type. Lots of motions and things to make your dink and dunk work better.

Good to see smug Ben Johnson getting humbled.
