Was hoping Tim Ryan and Johnny Morris would be on the call, but, nope, we get Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Adam Archuleta (analyst), and Aditi Kinkhabwala (sideline) instead. That sucks.
-
I wish Chucky still coached the Raider.

The Raiders aren’t great in the least bit, but I think there’s a lot we can learn this week. Jeanty has been bad so if he lights up the Bears then our run defense is as bad as I fear it might be. Raiders will give it to you through the air, so Caleb should be in line for another good outing.
Darnell Wright looks to be out. He was the worst graded Olineman last week. Do we have anyone that can block Maxx Crosby?
Can the Bears string together two wins against bad teams? I think they do.27-17 Bears.

Bust

Him over Warren is another on the list on inexplicable Bears draft goofs.
-
Too early to make that call.
-
If he were a defensive player or almost any other position outside of pass catcher it would be easier to judge him (so far). We still have a quarterback learning how to distribute the ball (accurately) to a crowded field of pass catchers. Is he being schemed for and have we prioritized getting him the ball? Doesn’t seem so. A lot of mouths to feed on our receiving corps.
But too early declare hits and misses. Right now Jeanty looks like a bust. Will he look like a bust this time next year? Who knows, he may be leading the league in rushing.
-
It’s just egregious to spend a top-10 pick on him and not involve him and he doesn’t even play is the problem. No reason he can’t be schemed for like Warren is in Indy. Says more about front office and coaching than the player…

Ran into McCaskey on the concourse at Allegiant!
I told him Tempo thinks he should have stuck with Justin Fields. George said - "Tempo is an idiot"
-
Maxx Crosby is gonna feast lol
-
Wtf are the Raiders thinking lol
-
Is Pete Carroll ok?
-
Maxx Crosby is gonna feast lol
Yep
-
Kmet butterfingers killed that drive
-
Only the Bears can have their defense generate 3 takeaways with prime field position and still be trailing 14-6.
-
Kmet has had a tough half with the missed blocks and the big drop despite the 3 catches.
-
Turnover right out of the gate to open the 2nd half.
Let's see how they blow this scoring opportunity.
-
It's about fucking time.
-
Jeanty apparently hard to bring down.

Mighty Mouse…

Mighty fine OL Poles put together here.
-
It's one of those "prove to us you're the guy" moments for Caleb. Let's see what he does trailing late on the road.

So since we KNOW George is the idiot you’re admitting keeping Fields was the right move!
-
Have to say that the changes made at half to the OL have been pretty effective.
-
Still ton of time left for the Raiders
-
BEAR DOWN
Never in doubt
-
Caleb leads the game-winning drive…
-
What a game damn!
-
Caleb leads the game-winning drive…
On the road in an ugly game where everything that could go wrong on offense pretty much did.
