Was perusing Bears news and saw this story about Gordon and his “doctor”. Evidently “Doctor Mo” doesn’t really have any real medical background and allegedly has a checkered past. Jaylon Johnson sought him out some years ago (then missed several games himself) before referring him to Gordon. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/chicago-bears-injuries/123038/are-bears-kyler-gordon-and-jaylon-johnson-receiving-bad-medical-advice

One day I’ll make it to NYC. And DC and all of the NE coast for that matter. Lol.

All good to know. It’s been awhile since I’ve been in the city so it’ll be great to see if it all comes back. And no driving allowed says the wife. She insists that’s why they created uber.

I seem to recall the Museum of Science and Industry - had dinosaurs and sliced human anatomy displayed along the staircase? But what you're describing is even cooler sounding. Gotta add that to the list. Thank you.

At the risk of debating, the two rookie DBs (Muhammad and Thieneman) came out ready to play - I think a result of good coaching. Johnson and Stevenson's performances (or lack thereof) aren't really manifestations of bad coaching - that's just them. They both got burnt a bunch yesterday and in games past.

That goal line sneak that Caleb attempted was hilarious. He jumped straight up then right back down...no yardage, feet or inches gained. 😂

Question: was it me or did the oline seem to lose control of the defensive rush? Was watching Kmet in an interview where he insisted Caleb is a ‘pocket passer’ but is also a dual threat with his legs. I’d agree about the elusive part but I haven’t seen him do a lot of pocket work, especially not yesterday. I get there are some designed rollouts but a lot of the time Caleb is spending his time juking and spinning away from defensive pursuit. Is the line not doing its job, is Caleb too impatient or ???

My wife’s favorite player and I heard all about it. Lol.

Excellent idea. Been awhile since I’ve been in town but looking forward to seeing the museum, aquarium, Navy Pier etc. And even Sears Tower - or whatever it’s called these days.

Ha!!! Funny enough my wife (Steph) is cold no matter where she goes. Stood on a beach in 85 Hawaii…with a hoody and told us it was cool. I’ll have whiskey for me…just in case.

We are sound that. Steph found one that’s called the ‘architecture ’ tour. Friends of hers insisted.

As you probably heard I’m heading to Chicago in a few weeks for my first live game at Soldier Field. As a lifelong fan it’s crazy (to me) that I’ve never seen the beloved play in person, let alone at Soldier Field. Seen plenty of other teams over the years, just not Chicago. Wife thought we should go before they move on to wherever they end up next. To say I’m amped would be an understatement. We have a pretty full agenda for this trip but always appreciate any local perspectives if you guys have any. I fully intend to participate in the tailgate stuff so that’s on the list. Any other ideas? I’ll be sure and wave to to all when we’re at the game.

Back in my playing days, after a game of many penalties and mistakes, the first day back to practice would involve hundreds of ‘up down’ drills and bear crawls up hills and such. Occasionally the coach would participate. Something tells me Johnson would be that type of guy.

Haven’t seen much of that game but my Packer neighbors are texting things like ‘the refs suck’ and ‘well sh*t’ so I took that as a good omen.

Never been a fan of Allen’s. I’d be perfectly fine with them making Al Harris the DC.

BJs hope to average 38pts per game (or better) on track.

Raymond so far looks like a key pickup.

Rookie Muhammad has been playing well today. And now a pick. All is not lost in the defensive backfield.

What you mean roughing the passer and hands to the face penalties aren’t traits of a pro bowl pass rusher? The face on DAs face after that last penalty said it all: ‘we shoulda traded for a high caliber pass rusher’.

Jaylon Johnson continues his rise to low mediocrity. Stevenson burned (regularly) and no Bryant in the safety spot - the defensive backfield is a mess.

Agreed. If he’s anything he’s reliable and comes through at clutch times. Aka Rams playoff game . How about that Odunze catch earlier? 😳😮

While we collectively pine away for the game on Sunday, saw this while doomscrolling. He says he wore it his first year and was listed not as a QB but as an “athlete”.

Over the course of his six year career he's managed 6,872 scrimmage yards (4,775 of those rushing). 2/3 rushing and 1/3 receiving making him a true dual threat. What I like about him is his durability. He's missed a few games over the years but nothing that seems to keep him out for very long. Even with a "chronic groin/hip" injury from last year he only missed one game. I'm for one glad he's back and will be for the foreseeable future.

What the? Mongo’s quoting scripture now. If BJ can do as he intends and become the highest scoring offense (scoring an average over 38(?) pts a game) then it won’t matter if it all happens in the last quarter. I’d prefer they do it over the course of all four quarters.

This. ☝️
