Kansas city is number one because the NFL wants them to be and are doing everything to keep them winning that teams sucks and only has a QB plus the entire Ref community behind thrm
Call plays using the best players. Johnson between the guards, swift as receiver, Lewis and Jones Jr to the practice squad. Waldron to the booth not biting his nails and not in a near panic.
Panic mode? But for the two interceptions, which isn't nothing, Caleb, Kmet, and Rome were the only offense the Bears had going. He's improved every week. Give it time.
Take into account what patterns & cycles you're seeing with Caleb Williams after three games. Comparing Jayden Daniels to Caleb Williams is a moot-point. The Commanders have a starting QB who operates at a high level and won a difficult game against the Bengals. While the Bears offensive line is weak and playing very well, Caleb Williams still has to adjust to the speed of the NFL. By inserting the tight ends into the play-calling, maybe a good start. Look at the reoccurring themes connected to the Chicago Bears--the offensive line, the running game is lost, bad play calling from the OC, the defense & special teams have to win games, because the offense is operating in a clunky manner. How successful can this strategy work, given that the Vikings are leading the division and look dominant. Packers lose their QB, and do-not-miss-a-beat with winning games. Plus, you have the Lions that will compete for the leading division & conference. Williams has to stop with his spin-move, for three weeks, it does end well. It seems that specific playing characteristic worked at USC on the college level, it does not work in the NFL for the speed of the defense is much faster. Williams needs to get into rhythm with his receivers, for they are not in sync. It looks sloppy, inept, and inconsistent. Note, the Bears have been playing from behind in all three games. Was the level of competition is only going to get more challenge. The Rams beat the 49ners last Sunday, so I wouldn't play them small. They have a lot to play for in order to win this game, so there will be a sense of urgency. Plus, they have a crafty, successful Head Coach, who is tapped right into his QB Matthew Stafford. Who is an excellent pocket passer, who can distribute the ball to multiple receivers, tight-ends, and his running backs. Include his arm talent with can throw with--touch, torque, and zip. Climbs the pocket, and can execute play-action at its highest level. He has a real talent for reading a defense, and making intelligent decisions. What you witnessed with the Rams & 49ners, was dueling QBs in the passing game. At this point with Williams, can he go toe-to-toe with any of the QBs in the NFC in the passing game like (Brock Purdy & Matthew Stafford) last week? Unlikely, for it is going take at least three seasons in the NFL for Williams under the right system to find his zone. For the Bears (there is no honor in the struggle). It starts with Caleb Williams making quick throws in stride, getting first downs, touch-downs, creating a balance with a running attack and starting to lead in games versus falling behind. AND-THAT'S-THE-BOTTOM-LINE!! Mitchell from Des Plaines.
Impassioned caller who was logical and well spoken, and made a whole lot of sense. Good to see you guys getting all opinions on air and getting the fan base heard. O-line needs adjusting.
Titans are not a top 3 pass rush team lol stop it. They have one quality player on that d line. The common denominator in Texans and titans having good defensive stats is they played the bears offense.
@@BlueDan-h8dyes it does. Poles & all the Bears fans who wanted to move on from Justin are wrong in real time. Justin is the only one strong enough, fast enough and tall enough to deal with this shitty offensive line.
When Deshaun Watson played in the second season with the Texans, his offensive line was miserable, yet he found a way to throw over 4,000 passing yards. Putting all the blame on the Chicago Bears offensive is a (red-herring). A distraction, from the fact that Caleb Williams needs to adjust to the NFL, and start making throws. Holding on to the ball too long, is going to kill the Chicago Bears QB. He cannot continue to do that (spin-move), and expects to make miracle throws. That specific move is not working in the NFL, with back-to-back sacks in two weeks. The chaotic mess with the Chicago Bears offense stems from multiple factors: First, Caleb Williams is finding that his play in the NFL is much faster, versus a spread offense at USC. The NFL defenses are fast, strong, and dominant. You're seeing frustrating Chicago Bears receivers, (DJ Moore), being demonstrated about his displeasure about not receiving the ball. Essentially, he will become the emerging (Chase Claypool), who had no problems calling out the ineffective Justin Fields, and his flawed mechanics. Bear management quickly had to defuse the situation and trade Claypool with a sense of urgency. It turns out he was right on point to be upset. DJ Moore is starting to experience the same issues with Caleb Willimas and the cracks in the foundation will start to increase over the next two games. Caleb Williams for the second week, his rhythm is off, cannot get into the (zone) moving the offense during the game. While the offensive line has issues, note Kyle Orton as a rookie in (2005), went (11-5), and he was not yelling at his offensive line. A good QB can improve the offensive ability by distributing the ball to his receivers, tight-ends, and running backs. So far, Caleb Williams is showcasing his weaknesses, against all the hype from what the media projected as a first-round pick. There are certain expectations that need to be met when the stakes are this high, and when they mean the most. The Bears attempt in the running game has regressed. (Signing Swift), I thought would be an excellent addition, however, there is no push to get him going. The Bears total offense looks clunky, inept, while everyone is blaming each other for a lack of communication. All the reason they should play more in the pre-season, and get these aspects cleaned up. Moving forward, the Colts had one gifted QB who has a strong arm, is extremely athletic and has move leverage on offense. This is going to be a difficult challenge for the Bears. While the Bears defense is playing at a nice level, they cannot be expected to win every game. The honeymoon period for Caleb Williams has ended, and the (onus) is on him to get the ball to his respective receivers, and score touchdowns. The trend is your friend, with the transparency of the NFL week to week is the best way to gauge progress or regression. It is going take a lot of time to get Caleb Williams up to speed in the NFL to be productive, given that he has the most important position on the offense. On the surface it seems he is shell-shocked on how fast things have fallen apart from his USC college playing days, which are (mutually-exclusive) to the NFL. Right now, as I am writing this in-depth response, we feature a Full Moon in Pisces (25 degree) & Lunar Eclipse. Which denotes a Full Moon on steroids, creating additional endings, secrets, illuminations to aspects that were hidden, conclusions, culminations, and denotes closure. The impact can last up to six months, which will be interesting if there are major changes taking place both on the macro & micro. I am sure there will be change & transformation on some level. AND-THAT'S -THE-BOTTOM-LINE!! Mitchell from Des Plains.
Let me see, CJ Stroud did not have his best game last week and missed some throws and points on the field. At home with a steady field under him, he will not look as bad as last week. To casuals 234 yards and 2 tds on 75% completion percentage is solid, but for CJ that’s a rough day at the office. Sunday night the Bears fans will see a generational Qb, but it ain‘t Caleb Williams.
And if you look at all the 1st round rookies to start, then you see CJ Stroud is an anomaly, and attacking Caleb as if he is a bust is like having a young construction worker whose done construction his whole life run a jack hammer for the first time and think he'll be pro at it, and our defense is better than what people give them credit for, plus they're not the same defense that plays for the colts.
I remember when Mike Vic while playing for Philadelphia in 2010 had no turn overs till they played Chicago and Chicago won that game 21-13 do to that, with that being said, I believe our defense is good enough to get that ball from CJ Stroud, our defense isn't a bust, and they have something to prove, watch for it.
Williams jr. and Hunter are going to bury our o-line and Caleb is going to be running for his life all game. 27-6 Texans CW 14/35 102 yards, 3 sacks, 2 ints
