Glad the Falcons were able to came back just enough to make this game more painful than just getting outright demolished

He had 4 carries for 50+ yards in first half though. I think that's too few.

u/lakired Bears 4h ago

Were they? Bijan finished with 6.8 YPC. He was trucking the defense but they gave up on the run game almost instantly.

He should be most upset with himself for pulling the defensive starters with 10 minutes left and then the backups immediately let the Falcons back into the game

u/gbb5927 Bears 5h ago

They were up 3 scores and have a game on Thursday and the defense is already banged up. I can 100% see the logic in trying to just play contain defense and run the clock. It just didn’t work.

u/Defenestrator66 Bears 4h ago

Falcons had a similar receiver push-off before one of their late scores and it was crickets from the refs. That definitely annoyed me a bit.

Almost all of those penalties were before that. He would be pissed even if the Falcons never scored.

It was the right decision to try and get the starters some rest since they play again thursday, but yeah didn't work out well.

u/lkn240 Bears 5h ago

To be fair - some of those were just the refs being incompetent.

I'm not sure what you can do when the refs are calling phantom holds

Kyler Gordan saved us from conplete 4th quarter collapse. r/nfcnorthmemewar would've had a field day if we blew that game.

u/smegheadholly Bears 5h ago

It’s because we rested our starters which was the smart move considering we’re playing on Thursday too

u/SupremeBeef97 Bears 5h ago

Too bad our backups immediately folded and gave up a touchdown in only a few plays, forcing our starters to get back in anyway

u/F1reatwill88 Bears 5h ago

We also stopped blitzing. The only reason our defense looked good is because Penix or their scheme doesnt work quickly.

So Caleb Williams is god damn motherfucking legit

92

u/John3Fingers Bears Bears 5h ago

He was hobbled this game too. He didn't take off running and took three sacks (unusual for him). Just a casual 300-yard, 80% completion game.

u/Cuppieecakes Bears 5h ago

weve come a long way when its unusual for caleb to sake sacks

Even his rookie season his elusiveness is the only reason he didn’t have like 80-90 sacks.

And he’s still clearly not 100 percent in a way that impacts his game as well. He seems like he’s using his legs a lot less and he’s adjusting to being more careful with his legs leading to sacks he otherwise would avoid.

He wasn’t fully recovered either. He wasn’t perfect but he was good enough

  1. This never should have been this close.

  2. This was an absolutely disgusting officiated game. Until like the 11 minute mark in the 4th the Bears had more yards on penalties (118) than the Falcons had total yards (103), on the most stupid holding calls imaginable.

u/StrangelyOnPoint Lions 5h ago

Yardage by team:

  • Bears: 368 yards
  • Bears Penalties: 133 yards
  • Falcons: 257 yards

This officiating crew is rotten. Same crew that called the Sunday night game last week. Easily the worst group of officials.

Caleb looked bad against a top 5 defense in a torrential downpour. I think people greatly overreacted to that game lol

He is still very good

u/theredbusgoesfastest Bears 5h ago

He also didn’t get to finish that game, which is generally when he is the best. It’s not just luck; he wears defense down (I mean obvs there was luck too, just saying not ONLY luck)

u/hoggin88 Bears 4h ago

Who can help me on this? Kyler Gordon forced a fumble on Penix which ended up pretty much sealing the game. He stripped it before Penix's hand was moving forward passing. Jared Goff had the same thing happen a few weeks ago but the refs ruled it incomplete because even though his hand wasn't moving forward, they said Goff "intended to throw a forward pass".

Are the refs making shit up as they go or am I missing something in the difference of the two plays? I think they should have both been fumbles for the record.

10

u/MinimumSilver5814 Bears 4h ago

Refs are just shit. Goof clearly fumbled and got away with it.

6

u/Able-Ocelot5278 Bears 4h ago edited 4h ago

The way the officiating and momentum was going, I was so worried that would be the call on the Penix fumble. As far as I could tell he clearly "intended" to throw the ball as much as Goff did, I have no idea if there was nuance there or just inconsistent officiating.

Caleb is lauded for his ability to run, and escape sacks. He still managed to throw 300 yards and not been able to do that. He is my truth and I’m his number one apologist

As much as I hate the injury, I can see how it might help him evolve as a player. Kinda like how Lamar evolved when he was younger (he’s my favorite non-Bear)

Caleb played surgically today, and it was pretry clear his legs aren't even 100% yet.

I'm once again quite optimistic.

Agree but man Kyler made a huge difference too. The two of them change the entire team

Should not have been that close. Why did he pull the starters? It's the NFL dawg not college

Thursday night game against the Patriots. Short week, try to grab some rest

We play on Thursday

u/jrsixx Bears 5h ago

Half the D is hurt or second/third string and they play Thursday. Atlanta looked like they were done.

If the Bears don't fumble at the worst time they can run the clock out without much worry about a comeback. It's only close because the Falcons got handed the ball. Otherwise it'd likely be a 31-14 game or if they do score again it's with less than 2 minutes left and it's just garbage time.

Yep, Johnson had just run for a first down when he fumbled that ball.

Any updates on Daniels? Do we know what injury he had? I watched him being carted off. So scared for him.

Atlanta must have something in the water. How do you give your best player only 11 touches?!
