Special teams might win the Bears the game. The Rams are legit awful, and the Bears have gotten much better ever since the disaster in Cincinnati. They were low-key heroes of last week's game, too, with several big returns. Would be a great time to pull out a trick play against them in a pivotal moment, IMO.

He really is starting to break conventional wisdom. The way he plays it's become a trade off of efficiency for explosiveness, and it's working. To analogize it to the NBA, it's sort of akin to how modern day offenses would rather you take a higher volume of 3's and shoot it at a 35% clip than taking more 2's and making 45% of them. Caleb can get away with having a lower completion % because he's hitting the bigger plays downfield, and he makes throws nobody else can make outside of Patrick Mahomes. When you combine that with how well he takes care of the football, this is the result you get. That's why he was the consensus #1 pick for 2 years in a row at USC.

Rams haven't played good football, as of late. They barely beat a 7-9 Panthers team. Their defense stinks. The Bears should be able to move the ball well against them. However, those two receivers make them as scary an offense as there is in football. Nacua could break the all time single game yardage record, and I wouldn't be surprised. The Bears have nobody who can cover him. The road to a Superbowl for Chicago would likely mean they'd have to beat the Rams and Seahawks. Not getting my hopes up for this one, but let's hope for a snowstorm.

Ugh, SF couldn't just go away and give the Bears a better shot at getting to the NFC Championship game. Beating the Rams is going to be a monumental challenge.

That's a potentially career changing injury for Trapilo. The return rate for lineman who come back and don't get worse is pretty bad. Just awful. LT has to be back on the menu in the draft, unfortunately.

UN freakin BELIEVABLE!

This game is insane.

Loveland is a star.

Caleb picked a bad time to have the worst game of his career.

Ben Johnson is freakin terrible. He has absolutely no idea what to do in the redzone. There was a legit chance for them to make it a game if they had scored a touchdown there, but, of course, Ben Johnson draws something up that gets nobody open.

The Packers have a bunch of nobodies on defense and have embarrassed Ben Johnson for the 2nd game in a row without Micah Parsons. Caleb looks like shit. Not even close on any of these throws in the pocket, and he refuses to run. I'm turning this game off at halftime. Not worth my time.

Dennis Allen, you are FIRED. What an embarrassing effort from this defense. This one is turning into a laugher we will have to sit on for 9 months.

That's the problem with this offense. They can move the ball, but way too inconsistent and way too many 3 and outs at the worst possible times. This game is over if the Bears allow another TD by the Packers. This is just about exactly the way I thought this game would go. Bears never fail to disappoint.

Yeah, I brought up that fact about the 1986 Jets a few days ago in reference to the Packers losing streak. Historically, the Packers are in a worse position than the Bears entering this game, but for reasons I mentioned above, the situations feel differently. Jordan Love hasn't played a full game in a month. On the other side, the Bears defense has had almost everybody back from injury for several games now and have fallen apart. Their issues feel more existential to me, but maybe that's just my cynicism. The optimistic side is that maybe Jordan Love is rusty coming back, and maybe the Bears broke them a little on defense after their collapse. I'm not completely bought in to that argument, but I understand it when you watched how they played against Baltimore.
