Yep. I'll keep saying it, but his insistence on every drop back needing to be a pass has cost his team so many yards throughout the season. It's also had a negative impact on his efficiency. Instead of an incompletion (or turnover), it would go down as a positive run. I often times wonder if internally he's having a battle with himself where he doesn't like running because he wants to prove to everyone he is a pocket passer. When you're in a gotta have it situation, you don't want to introduce more variable into a play by passing when you can just use your legs and scramble for what feels like could be 10-20 yards anytime Caleb wants to, but that's the problem: he doesn't.

Yeah, they haven't had a quick game all year. The quarterback is still too much in all or nothing mode. There were several times in this game he missed the RB in the flat for major yardage. He misses 5 yard out routes. It HAS to get better next year. Their lack of run game only highlights the necessity for having a quarterback that is efficient with the quick game to make up for it.

Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson both had their worst games as a professional. Caleb's down field accuracy cost them this game, as well as Ben Johnson's decision making in the redzone. Gut wrenching loss. Defense played their ass off.

Un freaking believable

Ben Johnson has been a disaster for the past month. 100% blew this game with his refusal to throw the ball inside the 10. Unbelievably bad coaching.

Once again Caleb lazily doesn't pick up a 1st down when he easily could, which forces a 3rd and short that the Bears predictably don't get. I can't believe how many blown opportunities this offense has had tonight. The Rams have been begging them to take over this game.

Caleb has been atrocious for 90% of this game. What the hell are these throws? He's becoming a turnover machine at the worst possible time.

These bounces the last two games have all gone against the Bears. That's the 3rd fumble the Rams have recovered of their own. They've been flirting with a turnover the entire game.

Coleston Loveland has had a terrible 1st half. That's maybe the 3rd drop already for him in this game. I think we're at at least 5 for the game, and it's only been 1 half. Everyone will shit on Caleb's completion % again, but this is another example of it not being completely his fault.

Looks like Kyler Gordon is back to being a difference maker!

Ben's playcalling on 4th downs is unbelievably bad. Can we please stop forcing the runs inside?? They haven't been working for at least a month with this team. The outside runs have worked all year! What are we doing??

Williams missed a wide open Swift in the flat that would have picked up 15+. Can't miss these opportunities to extend drives with an offense like the Rams.

Odunze is awful. Ruined a touchdown drive. Referees missed an obvious blow to the head, and still, Ben Johnson refuses to take the points. Terrible start.

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.
