Bears Wax Jax: Your Top Takeaways

[hyatt151]

What are your top takeaways after the Bears wax Jacksonville? Here's mine...

• Caleb goes 22 of 28 (78.6%) for 218 yards, 4 TD's and 1 pretty bad pick. Passer rating of 123.8. Caleb continues to operate within the offense and I like that Waldron isn't asking him to do too much.
• From the start of the second quarter on, the Bears dominated this game on both sides of the ball and were in complete control. Yeah the Bears have beat two bad teams the past two weeks but that's what good teams do. Had the Bears lost these games we would have crushed them. They won both and so they deserve praise.
• Great to see both Kmet and Allen get more involved in the offense. Caleb is looking for Allen on critical 3rd and 4th down plays to keep the chains moving.
• The defense is filled with a bunch of ball hawking dudes. They've created at least one TO in every game so far this season.

Jacksonville sucks worse than anybody thought

Sick burn, aiden

 

[Hawkeye OG]

1. Caleb looked legit af. Easily his best game

2. I want Kmet to be so much more electric in the open field

3. Dare I say it? The OL was actually pretty good today after a slow start

4. This offense is clicking (bum slaying a bit but **** it, I’ll take it for now). Get the offense in a groove before division games

There's just so much trolling and stupidity on this board it's hard to even participate. It's like a 6th grade classroom. Lol

You do realize you just insulted 6th graders...lol...

Cole Kmet is a fucking monster in the passing game. The Bears should use him as a viable receiving threat just as the Chiefs have with Travis Kelce. Kmet is THAT guy. The Bears need to continue to use him as such. I wouldnt keep Kmet in to block on any passing play at this point.

And Waldron once thought Gerald Everett was the guy Glad he came to his senses.

 

[UChiLAbear]

A couple more:

1. When there is better play from the RG, Shelton seems to be more stable.
2. When there is better play from both guards, there isn't much reason to worry about Shelton.

What am I really saying? No more Davis.

I agree with you......Young Sheldon has played much better w/o the lazy guy next to him.

Your insights are uncanny & always welcomed....thanks again.....

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

He has not hit one deep sideline pass this year.

He did to Rome.

 

[thenewguy]

My top takeaway is this felt like a reversal of fortunes. This is the first time the other team is looking at the Bears, saying "that's what our first round QB is supposed to look like."

This looks like the 49ers offense, especially the 1st Kmet TD

 

[NCChiFan]

For me

It isn't that the Bears beat two of the worst teams in the NFL, but how they beat them. These were not the games of yore, 17 to 6 affairs. The Bears dominated.

Cakab is making a believer out of me. Can't recall a Bears QB tossing so many small window balls all over the field in one game, um that actually connected and didn't look like a mistake.

Don't mind the INT because he SAW the open man. The rest is just learning. Any future D Coordinator s will understand, he won't miss that a second time.

First throw.

Knew he was full of shit, but didn't want to go through the trouble of finding an example.

I dunno there was that series where Caleb was getting lit up, but the Jags helped us out by committing numerous holding calls. It was a terrible series by the Bears and even worse series by the Jags shooting themselves in the foot with so many penalties.

It’s what „loser“ tell. Only survive by penalties. Look on the premium teams. It matters what you are doing out of it. Bears scored a touchdown that drive.

How often were we on the other side?

Take Caleb’s scrambles out of it, and the Bears running backs combined for 99 yards on 23 carries.

The proof is in the last 3 games: Establish enough a running game that the opponent’s D has to respect it, and Caleb will ball out. He is killing it in his checks, I might add.

Waldron’s game plan each week, needs to start with figuring out how to establish the run. The rest will work itself out.

Dare I say, Bears are kind of taking a page out of the Chiefs Offensive play book. The Chiefs are not a running team but run just enough to take pressure off of Mahomes.

Bears are in a similar situation, for tough runs between the tackles they go Roschon and for that east/west game they go Swift. They are a great compliment to one another and if Caleb continues to take the yards that are there on scrambles (As well as not take the big sits and slide, which he did yesterday), it's going to be very hard to stop this team.

What I really like is that it seems every week, someone else has a big game. There is not a single defense in this leagaue that has the resources to stop DJ, Allen, CK, Rome and then add in swift as the RB, its pretty much impossible. The weakest link to this team was the oline but man, what a difference when Davis was benched and Pryor was inserted. Maybe its lightning in a bottle with him but it's been 3 games now and the line is getting better and better.

Right now, I could see the NFC North having 3 teams make the playoffs...

That kmet TD was run by a few teams already in the NFL. Think lafleur/packers ran it first. All of um resulted in TD's I believe.

Good play call to keep an overly aggressive man defense honest.

 

[Ironhead22]

It matters because it limits our offense when the QB is incapable of hitting wide open WRs running down the sideline 40 yards downfield.

good Lord

Well coach, you're supposed to call a game the players you have can win with. Your dumb ass has been the real problem even 40 years ago when we could win in spite of your massive ego because the players were smart enough to not listen to your dumb ass trying to lose games.

it's a long developing play, thank god the OL held up in pass protection. Feels like that's one of those plays that looks real bad when the DL crashes on the QB
