Herbert is 7-43 already lol. He is going to have another 100 yard game.

TEs have 4 receptions and a TD, Mooney has the other 3 receptions. They are perfect for this offense because they can assist on the pass pro, and still go out into a route like Kmet did.

Fields is 7-8 for 72 yards, 1 TD, 2 rushes for 13 yards on the ground.

BOOM! Running to his left, laser to James for a TD! James lays out, perfect throw and catch. This is what we have been waiting for.

Williams now heading to the locker room.

1st Down pass to Kmet for a 1st. What a concept, throwing on first.

Holy crap a penalty against the 49ers. Neutral Zone infraction. First Down to Mooney, 11 yards, would've been good without the penalty.

Damn Grant takes it from 4 yards deep in the End Zone and was one move away from a TD, gets upended at the 26.

Defense forces a 4th but this time the FG is good, tie game. Tabor dropped an INT, but it looked like Vildor got away with a hold on that one.

Fields 4 for 4, penalties kill any chance at a TD. Santos perfect, 3-0 Bears.

Daniels with 2 penalties on the first drive, no good.

Great screen to Herbert, and now they are calling everything on the Bears. Ugh.

Williams is just losing yards every touch. He is too slow to the hole with this line. Herbert is sooo much quicker.

Daniels with a bogus holding, no where near what Williams did to Quinn for no call. Ugh.

Herbert comes in and busts a 22 yarder. He has incredible vision.

3rd Down completion for a 1st to Mooney.

Ugh, the predictable run on first for a loss. Need to go play action on first. Already behind the sticks. For some reason Williams starting instead of Herbert.

I wrote him off too, didn't know he played the entire year at like 60%.

Defense forces a FG, no good. 0-0. Great start for the defense. A couple of close calls on INTs, I think the Bears get one against Jimmy G. Chris Tabor pumped on the sideline.

Already a bad spot against the Bears, 3rd and 2, doesn't get to LOS, give them a yard. Allows them to convert on 4th. Quinn with a huge TFL on a quick screen. Quinn then causes a holding. He looks so good. Then gets held again but no call this time.

Eddie Jackson hurt on the 2nd play, looked like his hamstring. Hate to see injuries but I guess we get to see how they do without him now.

Monty has one more year on his rookie deal and has been very solid for the Bears over the last two years. I can't wait to get him back in the lineup where the Bears will have a real 1-2 punch in Monty and Herbert. Thru last week, with Monty missing a few games, their stats are very similar but they are completely different runners: Monty 69-309, 4.5 Y/A, 6-49. Herbert 58-279, 4.8 Y/A, 7-48. If Herbert keeps this up, and looks legit in a small sample size, the Bears will have to decide if they want to extend Monty, which seemed like a no-brainer just a few weeks ago. Now, I don't know. If Herbert is running this good and you can bring in a true fullback, it might be more cost-effective to let Monty walk as not many 2nd RB contracts have been working out lately. If you want to keep Monty, what do you believe would be a fair contract for both sides? McCaffrey leads with $16M APY. The bottom end of the 2nd contract guys is around $12M with Aaron Jones. The 2nd Tier is a guy like Melvin Gordon that got $8M APY who comps very similar to Montgomery at the same age. RB seems risky due to injury outside of a guy like Henry. Thoughts?

I have a feeling this SF game will determine a lot. A loss should make them sellers. However, even with a win, I would still look to move any of the following players: 1. ARob - The Bears will get a 2023 comp pick for him, probably a 3rd or 4th, but that can be negated by acquiring FAs, so the guaranteed compensation is thru a trade now. Take a 4th or 5th in 2022 if you can get it. He has been basically a waste of a roster spot s WR1. Bring up Adams or Thompson and see what happens. 2. Foles - To get anything for him and some cap relief that can carry over to next year makes sense. Obviously, you can only move one of the two backup QBs. 3. Jackson - This would be a massive addition by subtraction. It feels like Desai is playing him just because of his contract. DHC has already had more impact plays in a fraction of the snaps. Take him for anything. 4. Graham - Still the biggest head-scratcher of the offseason. 1 reception thru Week 7. A no-brainer. Take a conditional 7th rounder. 5. Trevathan - Has missed several games but seems like he is healthy; I don't know how much better he is than Ogletree or Jones at this point. Cap savings if you can do it. 6. Dalton - This one is dependent on Foles. Move one of these two for a pick and some cap relief. 7. Williams - Not much cap savings, but enough to consider it. Would save pro-rated $1M, will depend on Monty and Cohen status. 8. Gipson - If you move Jackson, then you keep him. However, if Jackson is not moved, consider moving Gipson who has been another disappointment on the backend. A lot of injuries around the league, and Gipson could provide quality depth to a contender. If the Bears do make some moves, there is a chance they can also be buyers (for the right player), and for the right term. WR - Jamison Crowder - would be a cheap ARob replacement, others to consider: Robby Anderson, Brandon Cooks S - Marcus Maye - in the final year of his contract, if you could somehow miraculously move Jackson, then add Maye? That would be sweet. How about a swap? Jackson for Maye, who says no? TE - Evan Engram - in the final year of his rookie deal, would be cheap and add something to the offense that is missing. Thoughts? I am sure the Bears do nothing at the deadline, but I hope they shed some of the older guys, especially in a loss. They need more draft capital.

Nagy out for sure, Bears by 20! BEAR DOWN!

They literally get everything to go their way. ARZ has 2nd and goal, down only by 3 and throws an INT. Mistake throwing to Green there. Rodgers calling for a flag DURING the play. Did anyone see the timeout call? Same as Fields, but he argued with the refs and they gave him the timeout instead of delay of game penalty.
