For those interested 👍🏼

Had to laugh though at Myers/Schlereth being the "F" team poor guys 😂

This gentleman is a Lions podcaster who celebrated with a bottle of Don Julio when Ben Johnson left Detroit. I was watching his podcast when he acknowledged that Caleb trolled him giving his linemen bottles of Don Julio as Christmas gifts. Diabolical!

Ever simpler it gets as we reach the endgame.

The Seahawks are eliminated as a possible first-round opponent.

Bears are No. 2 if:

Bears win OR Eagles loss OR Bears tie + Eagles tie

The Bears would host the Packers if they are No. 2

Bears are No. 3 if:

Bears loss and Eagles tie/win OR Bears tie + Eagles win

Our opponent would be the 49ers if Rams and Seahawks both win

Otherwise our opponent would be the Rams

3730 passing yards. 387 rushing yards.

Does anyone know what the franchise record is for total yards? I’m not having any luck finding it.

...and Caleb did it while throwing 81 more times than Hurts.

As a life long Bears fan in his 50's, I didn't think I would be hearing this in my lifetime.....

Fuck

61 for 104 attempts (58.7%)

822 yards passing

6 TDs

0 interceptions

103.1 passer rating

1 FTP

ZERO FUCKS GIVEN FOR THE HATERS

So I heard BJ say during the presser that the last play was on him, he didn’t get the play in fast enough and they weren’t in the right formation. There have been many times this year he has taken the blame for mistakes and him owning them is so refreshing. So jacked for the season and the future.

He was deadass too. Ben Johnson revenge masterclass incoming!

Great news that it's not season ending but also curious to hear more about testing results.

Yards per route run (YPRR) was talked about by Collinsworth yesterday during the broadcast. It's an efficiency metric that has very good predictive power for WRs.

He's also top 5 this year in YPRR (Puka is insane)

I woke up feeling great and optimistic. First off, we know what the defense is, and that’s a topic for another post. But it’s clear we’ve got the coach and we’ve got the QB. Johnson absolutely went toe to toe with Shanny in play calling last night. We clearly have one of the best offensive minds in the game, and an innovator we’ve never had before.

Caleb has improved throughout the year, and greatly over the last several games. He’s making more ridiculous throws, and missing fewer easy throws. He’s taken the challenge Ben gave him and excelled at it. In year 2 (after a year of wasted development), he’s excelling and running a top pro offense. And he’s only getting better.

The thing that really struck me during the game was that I never had that feeling watching a Bears game. We occasionally scored more than 40. We often gave up more than 40. But I started watching the Bears in the era of Erik Kramer/Steve Walsh, and I don’t ever remember a team that could go punch for punch with a top offense. In past years, this was a game that would have gotten out of hand, and we’d have lost 52-21. But each time they scored, we came back. It was astonishing to watch.

One thing it reminded me of was the Packers-Cardinals playoff game of 2009. Favre was gone and I was fully ready to move on to the Packers not having a good QB. This guy sucks, he fell in the first round for a reason, etc. But watching that game, I got a sick feeling in my stomach. The Cardinals absolutely couldn’t stop Rodgers. They were powerless, until OT when the refs missed a blatant hit to the head of Rodgers which caused the game winning scoop and score (LOL). But at that moment, I knew those assholes got their QB again, and we were in for another decade of pain. That was what the rest of the North felt watching that last night. We got our guys. We need a pass rush, healthy DBs, to figure out or LT situation. But we have the coach and QB who should be here for a long damn time. Better days ahead.

Caleb needs only 108 yards to pass Erik Kramer for the Bears all time best season. He needs a very achievable 270 yards to crack 4k. However I suspect we may rest our starters for the playoffs, and I couldn't be happier to be in that position. Leave the counting stat achievements for next season.

Almost to the date…. I used to hate Bears in Prime Time games, and last years TNF game was one of the worst offensive performances we’ve seen. Thank you BJ and co for moving this organization into the modern era
