It’s not that he said it, it’s that he meant it. Now when we get a defense that can play with that attitude to pair up with this offense it’ll be glorious.

You summed up what I’ve been thinking for a few weeks. Everyone wants the efficient 5yd passes, me too. Caleb is thinking I’m just gonna go get 15 or 20. The thing is that unlike our past QBs he can do it. He has the play caller for it too! Like a great home run hitter you simply don’t care if his first two swings were strikes, or incomplete, because the odds are still so high on the third attempt. At the end of the day the goal is to put points on the board not collect first downs.

I hope for the best with Ozzy. One thing I learned this past weekend is Ozzy >> Will Campbell.

Josh Allen is as close as they come, but if you compare Caleb's 2nd year as a pro and Allen's, Caleb is already better. We are comparing Caleb to Allen as 29yr old in his 8th season. Exactly.

Nothing about the Chargers playoff performance made me think Harbaugh should have been our HC.

Nacua is not fast. He’s quick but in man coverage Panther DBs were able to stick with him. He will destroy zone coverage and he has great hands for contested catches. Stafford trusts him and will throw the ball his way even when he’s covered.

So far this weekend I've watched a few playoff games. I haven't seen one QB I'd prefer to have over Caleb although I'd say Josh Allen is an even swap. Drake Maye...nothing much in 3 quarters, lots of bad passes. Justin Herbert...even less production in 3 quarters although I think his supporting cast is poor. The lIttle guy on the Panthers...nope. Brock Purdy is good but doesn't have the same arm strength as Caleb and quite honestly that's a factor in Soldier Field weather. Matthew Stafford is a great passer, can't run, but I'm also not going to swap the ascending QB for a guy who is likely to retire. I don't know why it is but for the last 2 seasons Mahomes has not looked like the elite QB he was in his first few seasons. Hurts...without a running game he's been exposed and cannot carry a passing game. I'm fully on board and expecting Caleb and this offense to hit another gear next year with better comp% and more consistency. Or is that first elite game still waiting for us this season?

Those are legit rumors or wild speculation on the internet? There'd be way more involved than the league-sourced two 3rd Rd picks, likely at least one 1st Rd pick if not more. That would in effect be Poles giving up his future draft capital for his new rebuilding job in Atlanta. He'd also be saying he made a mistake with the Williams pick and that he now thinks Penix is the better QB option. If we get anything out of Atlanta make it Bijan Robinson. Matt Ryan and whoever (Cunningham) are not giving up the one elite talent they've got on offense.

Rome is back. We now have him, Loveland, Burden, Moore, and a RB to cover. In the last game the Packers brought down a safety to shutdown our running game. I don’t see how they can afford to do that without giving up some big plays. Or they keep both safeties back and we run.

I think they took away the creative stuff he was doing in an effort to be more predictable for coverage. If that’s all you want you don’t need to waste a draft pick on it. What happened to the funky kick with the backspin?

The Packers will miss CJGJ. He was their favorite target.

Making plays yes but the point about him doing something special. Nah we haven’t seen that. This is Chicago we know what a great LB looks like on the field.

True. Coaching finding a way to make lemonade out of lemons. Even against Detroit so he gave up was 19pts. That's a very winnable game

Any team that wants Pickens attitude and a 30mil cap hit deserves him. It’s gonna be a desperate GM to make that decision. When you can get DJ cheaper with less headaches in the locker room you should do that. The Bears have already paid his bonus so the receiving team in the deal should have a much better contract and not the 28 mil cap hit the Bears carry.
