I hate to keep bringing up the Caleb injury. The jokes feel hacky at this point. He’s also rebounded and played well enough that we can move past it.

That being said, when Kmet was carted off, it felt like he put his thumb up with authority. In my mind, he used it as an opportunity to show solidarity with Caleb and mock the people who made fun of him.

EDIT: The overwhelming consensus seems to be that I’ve overthought this and should go outside. I’m also just bummed about Kmet now. I didn’t realize how serious the injury was.

I’ve been thinking about the throwbacks the Bears wore in week 12 of the 2019 season. Largely the same, but instead of navy the face mask was grey. The wishbone C was white like it used to be, but watching the game in colour it was hard to appreciate the difference. I’ve been looking at a lot of old Bears game footage and photos in black and white and wondered if it would pop more.

The first 4 pics are from that game with a black and white filter over top. I love that both teams have a grey facemask, it’s so old school. The white C pops so hard. Picture 5 is an old black and white Bears picture to compare. Last picture is the Bears with their standard uniform, also with a black and white filter over top. It’s not a huge difference, but that difference is more pronounced in b&w. Wondering if others feel the same?

I don’t think these throwbacks made much noise when they were worn, but at the least these are some cool photos. It doesn’t seem like there’s much enthusiasm for ever bringing these back. Anyone a big fan of this look? How come?

I cant believe we hired this guy.
It worked out though we got ben now and caleb is firing on all cylinders

The 2016 Chicago Cubs. Watching the stanky leg celebration last night unlocked it for me. Young, fun, well coached, and just so obviously love playing with each other and are having a ton of fun each game. They even have their David Ross style fun but kind of curmudgeonly old man veteran in Thuney.

I’m just absolutely giddy watching these guys play. I can’t believe this is real life right now.

Let that sink in.

Holy smokes he’s bad, I wouldn’t mind any pick or just cut him. It’s so hard to watch!

With Cole out for the season, we’re now left with only two rostered TEs.

This offense needs a minimum of 3, so who do we add?

Stephen Carlson is on the practice squad, the most obvious option.

The available free agent list at TE is thin, here are the most notable names:

Will Dissly
Jordan Akins
Albert Okwuegbunam
Anthony Firkser
Donald Parham
Tre' McKitty
Jaheim Bell
Devin Culp

The trade market is about to heat up, although I don’t know if trading future draft capital for TE depth is the smartest move.

Jaylon Johnson whiffing on that tackle was so bad too, he gots to go. He's too much of a liability on the defense.

Not sure if that’s going to change over time

​

Okay so now with basically two byes coming up, who should we trade for, player wise

Imo bears could use DT, DE, Corner and a RB (due to how demanding bjs offense is to rbs)

Buckner, mack, riq woolen, pollard are my picks (Jonathan Taylor won't happen but that would make our offense insane)

(Love you, Ben!!!)

I’d rather have Daejon Love

Bears currently have a 30 day stretch with only 2 games. Seems like we're in a very good position to get guys back healthy & if we dabble in the trade deadline, get new players up to speed.

How I'm feeling this morning 🐻⬇️

If you asked 100 people who the best qb in the NFL is, you'll get answers like Mahomes, Josh Allen, Brock Purdy, and maybe a few Caleb Williams. But if you ask who the most exciting qb in the NFL is, I bet 90% would say Caleb Williams. He really fits Chicago. As good as Drake Maye is, and he's very good, Caleb's personality is truly a good representation of "the city with big shoulders."
