Forward Progress today features @carmiev.bsky.social, who heard rumblings of the Dalman decision while at the combine last week. There's a little surprise at the end, too... Links in replies. @312sportschi.bsky.social #Bears

Here comes ~the tweet~ Like so many of my other (and even more talented) colleagues, I’m now a *free agent* Many of you probably know I left Fox Sports (.com) back in September & amid all the layoffs at Marquee, my contract wasn’t renewed.

til next time yall

Feels so anticlimactic for THAT fourth down play by Caleb Williams to not ultimately lead to a win for the Bears

Every Caleb Williams play

LOOK AT THE GD DOTS

he ran straight backwards like someone playing madden for the first time and it worked. what the hell man

Caleb plays against NFL defenses like the best athlete in middle school plays

aint no way that just happened

areyoufuckingkiddingme

thats divine intervention on a punt if ive ever seen it!

fwiw with the Bears down by a TD and three minutes remaining, no one in the stadium is leaving

short yardage today for the Bears, even with how much they've committed to the run again, has just not been it

4th-quarter-down-at-least-a-score-Caleb Williams: activated

the strays are so unnecessary man. poor Bills fans.

This is the most baffling gameplan of McVay's career. Even beyond the run-pass split, *how* he's deciding to run and the lack of conflict he's creating is mind-boggling

Davante Adams has just 2 targets on 23 routes in the first half per NGS... yeesh!

Coming into this game, Matthew Stafford had the best cumulative dropback EPA vs. the blitz of any qualified passer. Apparently, Dennis Allen decided he didn't care and has been blitzing the shit out of him tonight and it's working???

Goodnight from Soldier Field 🖤

Ben Johnson said they heard the noise coming from the ‘team up north’ — both players and coaches — loud and clear. “This one meant something to us.”

The Chicago Bears have won their first playoff game in 15 years

Another DJ Moore touchdown. And the Bears have their first lead of the game with 1:43 left. Lol.

Brandon McManus misses the 44 yarder. folks,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Swing pass turns into a TD for rookie WR Matthew Golden. His first of the year. Was the only rookie WR without a touchdown in the regular season.

Jordan Love vs. four-man rush: 7.7 ypp Jordan Love vs. the blitz: 4.7 ypp

With just over 10 minutes to go in the game, the Bears have now pulled within a score of the Packers.

True to form, the Bears turn it on in the fourth quarter and have now scored their first touchdown of the game on a D'Andre Swift run up the gut.

If Caleb Williams' ankle is bothering him, he's not letting it show. Threw a block for Swift after he cut back on that run. Gained seven on the play.

Bears are down two scores heading into the fourth quarter... stop me if you've heard that before

Not much going right for the Packers in this second half between injuries and penalties. Bears haven't quite been able to capitalize yet but we're almost to the fourth quarter...

Packers go jumbo with Darian Kinnard reporting as eligible, and Love actually throws him the ball. He catches it, fumbles it, Gervon Dexter has a shot at it but instead knocks it out of bounds and Green Bay runs a routine play on second and 4.

Another fourth-down INT for Caleb Williams. Had Karl Brooks in his face.

Edgerrin Cooper is down for Green Bay. Walks gingerly off the field but under his own power to the injury tent. Big loss for the Packers if he can't come back.

During TV timeout *both* Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent are throwing with trainers.

Caleb Williams came up limping on that third and 14 play. He hopped himself over to the bench, sat down for a second and then started walking it out up and down the sideline. Visibly upset as he sits back down on the bench, even as the Bears hit the field goal.

A true testament to how far Caleb Williams has come this season is the trust on fourth down. You can feel it from the team and even as someone who has watched him all season, I don't hold my breath quite as hard when the Bears decide to go for it. It feels kind of... routine?

There really aren't many Packers fans in attendance here at Soldier Field. Stadium was nearly silent on that Christian Watson TD.

Crowd is LOUD as Jordan Love trots onto the field for the Packers first possession of the game.

Five third downs on this opening drive for Chicago. The Bears convert four of them but will now settle for a field goal as the Packers defense holds inside the red zone.

When I first sat down in the press box vs. less than 10 minutes later 😳 Playoff football!

There's nothing quite like Packers/Bears rivalry week. On today's show I'm joined by @carmiev.bsky.social to look at this huge matchup on Saturday and the biggest advantages and disadvantages for both teams. Check it out!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnzT...

Took our Christmas tree down because we didn’t have enough going on today 😂 See you at 3 p.m. CT for Fox Football Saturday on @foxsportsradio.bsky.social Then onto Soldier Field for Packers-Bears at 7:05 p.m. CT. What a time of year.

GN

redemption belongs to Caleb Williams WHAT A FREAKING THROW

holy SHIT

i swear this game is gonna give me a heart attack and i dont even have a real rooting interest

Malik Willis fumbles and the Bears take over bc of course and Chicago's defense now has 32 takeaways on the year

overtime it is buckle up, folks
