    A Jones - Stud

    If he had run for 9 more yards, he would have been the 1st GB RB with 3 straight games running for 120 yards or more.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Karl Brooks - What a steal in the 6th round.

    This year's draft class has been a revelation. Brooks with 3 sacks, LVN has 3 sacks, per pro football reference. Valentine looks like a serviceable player. Wooden is the odd one out but might be ok.
    Rashan Gary had 2 sacks his rookie season, so did Mike Daniels.

    Musgrave, Reed, Kraft, Wicks -- all look like keepers, and they might have something with Melton. Basically they got contributions from everyone except Lew Nichols, which should mean good things for their development and future.

    Gutekunst is looking like the top stud, maybe the top GM this side of Jerry Jones and son.

    The only true Dud I can think of is Carlson. Good kickers aren't that hard to find. I HOPE we find a better one by next season. It wasn't just the missed FG - in contrast to the made FGs by the Bears guy. It also was the lame-assed kickoffs that gave the Bears too good field position.

    As was said, studs too numerous to mention. Special mention to RG - if in fact he is truth-telling - that he was the one who started the BEARS STILL SUCK chant. Actually, though, they didn't suck near as bad as usual.

    PFFT. They have a reputation that's mostly based on luck.

    Wooden even had a couple of nice plays today, and one last week, I think. So maybe his arrow is pointing up, as mine is after this massive victory.

    And how glorious it was to be there for the game. I loved it. Nothing like it. There with an old, good friend.

    Bear fans are all nice enough, at least the ones I saw.

    But the Bears still suck.

    The offensive line was a stud today. Yeoman's work there.

    And you've got to give Barry credit, whether you want him gone after the season or not (I still want him gone). That defense suffocated the Bears, and though they are no powerhouse offense, that was the same defense that made Tommy Cutlets look like an All Pro.

    I really wonder if the coach trusts Carlson. How else to explain, with only eleven seconds left in the half, why you think you need to get five more yards before you let Carlson take another shot? They were well within an NFL-caliber field goal kicker's range. That mistake could've easily bitten them in the ass. If you insist on running one more play, don't you throw into the end zone if it's there, and throw it away and kick the FG if it's not? That seemed a dumb call.

    I love watching Aaron Jones run. I do. His vision is just so damn good.

    And I really like Preston Smith. He's not flashy, but he sets the edge, and makes plays against both the run and the pass. He's a professional.

    I am wondering, if Isiah McDuffie gets through the concussion protocol, if Barely will start him ahead of Devondre Campbell, or if Campbell's experience gives him the nod. I kinda feel bad for Campbell. He seems like a good guy, but it gets clearer each game that he's just a shell of his former self.

    Special teams was pretty poor on kickoff coverage. And Carlson's kicks were shorter than the Bears' kickers kickoffs. I am souring on Carlson. And starting to sour on Bisaccia.

    Studs all over the place.

    Duds:
    Special teams - not great on kick coverage and a missed FG
    Quay Walker - never seems to make a play
    Clock management - get out of bounds, kick the FG instead of trying for 5 more yards

    He's a physical talent, but, I think Rashan/Justin called it, he's dumb as a post.

    Is that sarcasm? He actually is good. As years go by, I could see Love and Fields as the top two QBs or close to it in the league.

    No Tex. No. He’s not good. I’ve watched several Bears games. He’s an elite passer and an elite runner for the position, but he has a 2 cent brain. He can’t play QB.

    He rarely misses passes. When he throws it, it goes exactly where he wants it. But he can’t process the game. He’s always standing there confused. That doesn’t work.

    Maybe. I can agree, he isn't Aaron Rodgers and now Jordan Love that way (practically nobody is), but I don't see him as that bad either. To the extent that he is, blame his coaches and the lack of talent around him.

    Living in the Flatland, I’ve watched every Bears game. While a bit harsh, your evaluation is pretty spot on. All the talking heads down here are pretty much aligned. Even though he’s played well the past five games, today’s game was a stinker. He’s toast in Chicago.

    Yeah I think Fields has all the physical tools and talent you could want, but he's a slow processer. At OSU he had a good OL and receivers, which helped him out as well as the level of competition. In the pros everything is faster, and the schemes are more complex.
    I do think his processing improved this season, but it's still on the slow side. I don't think he gets thru his reads fast enough. You could help him out schematically but I don't Getsy went far enough there, plus they were lacking talent outside of DJ Moore and Cole Kmet for most of the season.

    He's Vince Young ish.
