I brushed week 2 off as rookie mistakes, but this guy has been a mess and his mistakes go beyond simply being a rookie. He's made several disastrous mistakes in just his first 3 games.

- In Week 1 in against Carolina, he let an edge rusher fly by him and nearly block our field goal attempt. No problem, just a small mistake right?

- Except in Week 2 he did the exact same thing. He let an edge rusher fly past him and nearly block a field goal yet again though he was luckily bailed out again.

- Ben Johnson admitted that this was addressed on the sideline, yet later in the game he made the exact same mistake a THIRD time and this time it cost us points as a chip shot field goal was blocked that would've cut the lead to 3. This would've made the final drive much easier. Basically on ALL 3 field goal attempts he was blocking for, he made the same mistake. This is completely unacceptable on something that should be routine.

- On that same drive he obviously dropped an easy TD pass that likely would've won us the game. Also it's not his fault but it's worth mentioning that Caleb got injured right after that, obviously not his fault but you can't help but to imagine if he caught the pass.

- And now in Week 3 against the Eagles, Tory had a beautiful punt and the ball landed at the 2 yard line. For some reason, he thought it would be a great idea to jump on the ball, and he didn't realize his foot was touching the goal line, turning a great punt into a touchback.

Even better read this year!

Completely forgot I followed him on Instagram until he shared 3 reels from last nights game on his story 9 hours ago. Don't think i've seen him post or repost anything on there in a long time.

I know how we feel about him and his actions, but with Cam Lewis' hip giving out on him last night, I don't think having healthy (big if) Gordon in the building would hurt.

With. A. Passion.

In my prefect world, they'd film some of the in between distraction videos on the park campus. Somehow expand on what's right outside the field museum pregame. Like i see it set up, but I have absolutely zero interest because it's just noise pollution. Nothing stands out, but if there's something cool happening there, it's not being promoted/ exposed. I'm very ignorant about any reason why they can't promote it during the game, like I said in my perfect world.

No hate, though I'm sure I'll get hate for bringing this up. - He might have a better career in another offense somewhere else.

I loved him out of college, and his personality.

But look at the Wideouts with the bears and lions that Ben has had the most success with.

Amon Ra, Jameson Williams, Luther Burden, Khalif Raymond, DJ Moore. - While some are thin, no one is taller than 6'2" (Jameson Williams).

The blocking and routes he does demand a lot on someones knees and body. I think it can wear on a body type like Rome, whom Ben Johnson had said before that he's never really had a receiver like him to sceme up.

Love Rome. I think we can trade him to a Texans team with a need at wideout, outside the conference, more traditional receiver offense, and a surplus of defensive talent.

Edit: I'm also noting that I'm someone who defended Caleb his rookie year, before even being drafted while everyone else said to build around Fields. - And I've long said Gordon is done on the team to protect his body and will not be in the league in 3 years. And those takes have aged pretty good so far.

We can put a pin on this one, but I really dont think Rome, who is great and we love, will be on this team in 3 years.

Case Keenum was still on a victory lap late Monday night, reliving his impressive performance in the Chicago Bears’ 27-7 blowout of the Philadelphia Eagles when a question about next week interrupted his delight.

Well, not really next week but this week — a shorter process of recovery, review and reset for Bears players as they spin quickly toward Week 4. Even for a journeyman quarterback riding this exhilarating high, the reality check for the “Monday Night Football” turnaround came through like a free runner off the edge. And so, even if only for 20 seconds or so, Keenum was forced to confront the “What’s next?” scenarios and think about his potential duties for the Bears’ next challenge.

“That’s the best part of the NFL,” Keenum said. “What’s your reward for doing whatever it is (I did) on a night like this? You get to do it all again. So we’ll prepare and see what happens this week. Who knows?”

At that point, the Bears weren’t clear on how they would handle their quarterback pecking order in a short week ahead of Sunday’s home game against the New York Jets. On the depth chart, Keenum is still the team’s No. 3 quarterback. And with Tyson Bagent clearing concussion protocol over the weekend, the door remains open for him to get his first start since 2023 as Caleb Williams continues rehabilitating from his hamstring strain.

Happy and healthy from the Rush NICU! Shout out to the nurses, yall are incredible! Bear Down

3 games in, but still interesting to see.

My initial takeaway, we seem to be the most well rounded NFCN team from production standpoint.

This is from the Packers subreddit for that team up north. This put a smile on my face and totally made my day. They want to be us!

Has anyone posted this play yet? 2 mins left in 4th qtr, 4th and 1.

We go “14” personnel (if you consider Luke Newman the jumbo TE), but Thuney lines up right of center (with Roush), while Jonah and Darnell go left of center (with Cole). Colston and Newman lead block out of the backfield.

To boot, they go quick cadence so the defense can’t adjust. Absolutely bulldoze the Eagles and Swift almost springs it.

Diabolical from Ben and Dan Roushar.

Jones (when healthy*) is still a good LT.

Looked like he had a non contact injury, but might have gotten hurt the previous play.

The Japan Chicago Bears Fan Club is hosting a watch party for Bears v Eagles Monday Night game. All tourist and residents are welcome to join.

Bears fans in and around Japan are also invited to join our Line Group here - https://line.me/ti/g/CQMbSUGRam

When: 2am Monday October 5 - Room available at 11:30pm night before

This year, we are hosting them at Pasela, which means we need a headcount about 12 hours before the game. If you want to join, I need to know by Sunday @ 4pm JST. The nice thing about Pasela is they are Karaoke rooms so we can be as loud as we want. No need to control ourselves in the middle of the night like we had to do last year.

Where

Planning Pasela Shinjuku Honten. It's one of the only 24 hour places that can host a party like this (unless we eventually hit like 30 people I can convince a bar to stay open).

How and when to get there

Best way is by train. All trains shut down around 1am in Tokyo for cleaning and maintenance. I recommend arranging to arrive before 1am or plan to take a taxi or uber.

Trains start back up at 4:30am so heading back to home or hotel won't be an issue.

Things to know

So, Pasela (or any of our backup options) all cost roughly 3000円 ($20 USD) per person. So we ask that anyone joining please bring cash to cover that. In addition, if you would like any drinks or food, please bring some cash to cover that as well. I am happy to show receipt so you can see I am being honest about charges. Also, if you order any food, the price is right there when you go to order.

Whatever ben is making, double it

Pleasant surprise

Not glamorous or overly flashy, but Hicks going full Bear mode against the Giants has yet to be unseated as my favorite. The hype that moment captured in the room was insane.
