Bears offseason dates announced: First day: April 7 Voluntary minicamp: April 21-23 OTAs: May 20-22, May 27-30, June 9-11 Mandatory minicamp: June 3-5

Bears announce they re-signed safety Tarvarius Moore today. The safety didn’t appear on defense at all last season, but played 66% of the team’s special teams snaps in the 11 games he played.

Grady Jarrett is about as durable as they come. In his 10-year career he's only missed 12 games, and nine of those came in 2023 when he suffered an ACL injury in Week 8. Jarrett was able to rebound from that injury to start all 17 games last year.

Declan Doyle spent four years with the Saints before joining the Broncos. Like Dennis Allen, he worked with both Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn in New Orleans.

How Dennis Allen's Saints defense ranked in points allowed in the seven years he was their DC: 2015 - 32nd 2016 - 31st 2017 - 10th 2018 - 14th 2019 - 13th 2020 - 5th 2021 - 4th

The singular trait from Caleb Williams that stands out to Ben Johnson as something to build around: "The ability for him to fit the ball into tight windows I think is a rare thing to see. He’s fearless playing that position."

Ben Johnson was emphatic he's going to design a new offense specifically for Caleb Williams, not just bring over Lions offense. "We're ripping this thing down to the studs and we're going to build it up with him first and foremost, then with pieces around him next."

Home teams are 0-2 with Gelo in attendance over the past two nights.

Bears asst GM Ian Cunningham completed an in-person interview with Titans for their open GM spot. It was his second interview for the job. If he lands the gig, Bears will receive a third-round comp pick for both 2025 and 2026 drafts.

Justin Herbert just another lame Duck? (I do not think this loss is all on Herbert, but couldn't resist)

Thomas Brown when asked what he thinks is missing from Bears: "There’s not really a short answer to that question. I don’t have the time to go through everything I think is kind of missing."

Per OptaSTATS, tonight’s TNF game was the first where each team had 6+ punts 3+ sacks taken 2+ fumbles 1+ turnover 0 touchdowns since 1987 when the Colts beat the Jets 6-0… with each team using replacement players due to the NFLPA strike

How would y'all feel about some extra football tonight?

Caleb Williams has been sacked 6+ times in five games this season.

Meanwhile Bears D has forced two 3-and-outs of their own since giving up a long FG drive to start the game

The Bears offense has started the game with a 3-and-out five times out of the last six games... ... the sixth time they turned the ball over on downs on a 4th-and-1 play.

Caleb Williams is also your Bears leading rusher today with 34 yards. D’Andre Swift had 20.

Caleb Williams finished with 334 passing yards, giving him 3,271 on the season. That's good for No. 6 on the Bears leaderboard for most passing yards in a season. The rest w/ 2 games to go: 5: Cutler - 3,274 4: Cutty - 3,659 3: Cutty - 3,666 2: Cutty - 3,812 1: Kramer - 3,838

That is Gerald Everett's first target and reception since the Cardinals game on Nov. 3

Caleb Williams completed passes this drive: 14 yds, 7 yds, 5 yds, 10 yds, 10 yds, 22 yds But also two false starts, a delay of game and a 9-yd sack. So they punt on 4th-and-25.

Bears blitzed on that 1st down pass to Jahmyr Gibbs and had Montez Sweat drop into the middle of the field in coverage. Gibbs scooted past Sweat for an 11-yard gain.

Bears fans, you like what you see from this Lions offense?

It's remarkable how much the Lions OL is re-establishing the LOS in the run game. It's looking like Gibbs is taking first contact five yards down the field.

That's going down in the record books as a Caleb Williams fumble

Looked like DeMarcus Walker affected that 3rd-and-2 throw while playing DT. Couldn't see if he got his hand on the ball, but he was in Goff's throwing lane

Shoutout to DT Jonathan Ford who the Bears signed off the Packers practice squad last week. He made his NFL debut tonight and finished the game with 4 tackles and a TFL. He was noticeable penetrating the backfield.

"Chicago's gotta prove that they belong in the NFL." -Jason Kelce on ESPN's halftime broadcast

Bears shut out in the first half for the third week in a row.

Last week we had the Explosive Plays Allowed Tracker. This week looks like we're gonna have the 3rd Down Conversions Allowed Tracker. Up to 3rd-and-17 and 3rd-and-10 so far

Aaron Jones didn't score there, but had huge impact on the TD play. Jones carried the ball three times for 23 yds earlier in the drive. Vikes go play action on 1st-and-GL, Bears D bit hard. Opened up a hole for Justin Jefferson.

Bears finish year at MIN, vs. DET, vs. SEA, at GB All tough games. If they lose out, they'll have an 11-game losing streak, topping the 10-game losing streak they had to end the 2022 season.

Final 49ers explosive plays tracker: Gains of 23, 33, 20, 32, 27, 23, 30 (run), 32 and 39 yards against the Bears on Sunday.

Caleb Williams third-down sack tracker: 5

Say what you will, but Ricky's Boys Never Quit

Growth point for Rome Odunze? Earlier this year had a TD negated bc he set up with his feet out of bounds. Today he reels in a fantastic TD catch with awareness to get both feet down in bounds.

Caleb Williams third-down sack tracker: 3

New Bears DC Eric Washington dialing up way more pressure to help out their ineffective pass rush. Problem is that's creating massive spaces in the middle of the field for George Kittle who now has 4 catches for 106 yards, not even halfway thru the 2nd quarter.

Leonard Floyd now has 3 sacks in 3 games against the Bears, who drafted him with the No. 9 overall pick back in 2016.

The Bears defense has given up plays of 23, 33, 20, 32 and 27 yards today. There is 1:39 seconds left in the first quarter.

Bears ran the ball 0 times on that 5 play drive that netted 5 yards.

At least Tory Taylor and Josh Blackwell were able to pin the Niners inside the 15? #thirdphase

Bears make Matt Eberflus firing official. Bears cite offense’s recent success on third down, and points scored in second half as reasons why Thomas Brown was elevated to interim head coach.

It’s Matt Eberflus at the Bears podium this morning. Not Ryan Poles.

Bears dialed up the deep dig to DJ Moore on that 3rd-and-18... same concept that worked to get Bears in FG range at the end of last week's Vikings game. This time, Moore drops the ball.

Lions punt for the first time today with just over 12 minutes left in the game

Bears had 5 LBs on the field for that Lions TD... apparently they were extremely dialed into the run there?

It's Thanksgiving, Bears fans. You can start drinking whenever you want.

Feels like a matter of time until Terell Smith is the starter opposite Jaylon Johnson

The Detroit Lions are on pace for 340 rushing yards today.

Matt Eberflus has dialed up a few blitzes today to try to help his DL generate pressure. It hasn't gotten home against this Lions OL though.
