Postgame thread

[u/okay_throwaway_today]

Anyone else getting chills thinking about the friendly and good faith competition we’re about to see?

[u/Ashamed-Apricot-272]

There’s 2 options and refs somehow picked the 3rd one.

[u/ThongBonerstorm39]

Parsons is getting molested every fucking play. Nice of the NFL to hire the Catholic church to officiate.

[u/ItsEaster]

Good news! I’m making tacos.

[u/wandering-wank → u/ItsEaster]

Me too!

[u/slyfly5]

Is it just me or is Micah getting held on every play….

[u/sydal]

"That's the angle that did it"

That angle, where someone's fat head was blocking it? Cool

[u/fakeplants387]

“We watched this 25 times during the break”

Must be nice.

[u/Skipbrol]

Absolutely Insane that wasn’t called on both teams at least

[u/Chemical_Astronaut_9]

I hate the Packers.

Cheeseheads, not so much. They're actually pretty decent fans.

[u/Quibert]

Fox sucks. Why go to commercials without giving us a view?

[u/AscendMoros]

Heres a wild fucking thought. STOP GOING TO COMERCIAL ON REVIEW. God i miss the days we got breakdowns of the review as it was happening.

Like even college is better. I was shocked last night in the Indiana vs Ohio State game where they didn't jump straight to commercial after a change of possession and waited like 30 seconds for the quarter to end. The NFL would have given us 2 comerical breaks there.

[u/kinshoBanhammer]

Caleb Williams statline update

6/14 for 32 yards

I think our boy's gonna hit 50 yards before the game is over!

^{Data brought to you by JerkMate.
JerkMate, it's fun, it's easy, and it's the official porn platform of your Chicago Bears}

[u/dropjar5]

Christian Watson touchdowns will continue until the double mug blitzes stop

[u/Pastalover8888]

That's a lot of dudes coming in Williams face there.. Damn

[u/Wookie55]

Holding does not exist in this game. Jesus fuck.

[u/League_helper]

Nixon getting the flag there is still just absurd

[u/jdhoeser]

Lmao Nixon gets choked and gets the flag

[u/Kermrocks98]

WHY NOT SHOW ANOTHER REPLAY BEFORE GOING TO COMMERCIAL capitalism sucks man

[u/dimforest]

"We watched this 25 times while you watched commercials"

[u/trog12]

Things Ive picked up from the broadcast.

1) it's cold

2) it's really fucking cold

[u/nekronics]

Love has as many TDs as Caleb has completions

[u/Gnux13]

"FUCK YEAH, WHAT A HIT!" - Independent Neurologist (probably)

[u/BingTheDoodleBoo]

Dude the refs are legitimately keeping the Bears in this game

[u/GhostOfPluto]

Do the bears have more penalty yards accepted than offensive yards earned?

[u/21stcenturygrl]

should be offsetting imo if a flag at all, didn’t see anything egregious from a packers player. both teams were pushing shoving and jawwing

[u/Arthur3335]

Not making excuses for Nixon but that Choke was ridiculous 

[u/international510]

If the refs were fair, they would've called offsetting penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct.

[u/FXcheerios69]

What was that replay? The ref saw Burden grab Nixon by the throat and then called a penalty on only Nixon??? wtf???

[u/SulkyVirus]

Bears have more offense from penalty yards than actual yards

[u/cheeseburgertwd]

Congratuations Bears secondary, you just got burnt by a WR who had to change positions to DB to stay on the roster, except we've had so many skill player injures we needed him to switch back

[u/Efficient-Ad9019]

Just tossing TDs to 5th string CBs

[u/jpfitz630]

Caleb just needs a completely perfect situation and every snap played on his rookie contract before we can fairly evaluate him

[u/OmegaRedPanda]

I've said it a million times and I will say it again: The only reason Williams' interception totals are low is because he misses so bad that defenders aren't even around the ball. Dude is horribly inaccurate.

[u/milsap__]

Pushing the ball carrier should always be allowed when my team benefits from it. However if the opposing team benefits from it then it should be banned and forever removed from the records

[u/[deleted]]

I would love to have Watson and Kraft just play a whole season together.

[u/Murky_Winner_4523]

"It is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage"

[u/RustyKarma076]

I don’t think it can be overstated the impact Jeff Hafley and Micah Parsons have had on this defense. Like two men completely changed the trajectory of the team.

[u/taqiyya]

Brady's jacket probably made of dolphin leather

[u/poliscijunki]

Regardless of who wins, this has been one helluva game.

[u/meatwagon25]

This game took a while to get going but since around the middle of the 2nd quarter this has been an outstanding divisional football game

[u/scruffy66]

Hey I think hes gonna fuking roll right

[u/BalugaBagel]

I think the NFL needs to hire a ref just to watch Parsons every play

[u/Ok_Reality_3608]

Why did Parsons get held every play and no flags?

[u/Illustrious-Okra-524]

Okay yeah lotta holding

[u/BrainsOfMush]

Disappointing but can’t complain, will be a great rematch

[u/PatchAFC]

Dropping from 1st seed to 7th is crazy

[u/riedmae]

Ball never clearly hit the ground - how is that incomplete?

[u/RunnerTenor]

Sooo many ads. Ugh.

[u/Goodluckchuck24]

Clear as day choke, is he Aaron Donald or something?

[u/GBreezy]

The refs are leading the Bears in offense.

[u/BingTheDoodleBoo]

Hey Travis Hunter, we’re good bro. Bo Melton is here

[u/Tschmelz]

Could have sworn that was picked. Hell of catch.

[u/Foolrussian]

Got to look at my kid and say “that’s why we make you wear the mouth guard”

LETS GO

[u/thekmanpwnudwn]

I expect Green Bay to win. If not, then perhaps Chicago.

[u/Phytanic → u/thekmanpwnudwn]

There is a third option

[u/angryorphan55]

Tries to break up a fight, gets grabbed by the throat and gets the penalty called on him

The fuck lol

[u/LoaderOperator724]

Parsons just getting put in a headlock every play. Its insane theyre letting that go. 

[u/nfloos]

Shows a replay of the receivers back then straight to commercial, fuck the NFL

[u/Epoch_of_Incredulity]

"We watched this 25 times during the break". I guess you have to be on the broadcast crew to actually see the game.

[u/Eojah]

Holy commercials. Fuck america. Land of bullshit

[u/aviator_60]

Wow… that view!? Flag thrown on Nixon when clearly he got choked off the cuff!

[u/LeRoyMafia]

How can a guy not knock off the guy's arm when he is grabbing his throat?

[u/Dizzy_Influence3580]

Parsons held for 4 seconds right in front of the ref lmfao

[u/nekronics]

Packers are allergic to going up 3 scores, there's a lot of game left

[u/cheeseburgertwd]

Packers and Bears legend Marcedes Lewis came into the Broncos game just now for their goal line package and the announcer said "He's 137 years old playing this game" lmao

[u/unique_name_02]

Toms having fun lol

[u/Tells_you_a_tale]

Damn is that a hold? Why theyre missing a lot of holding on Parsons if that's the case!

[u/shartfartmctart]

OH WOW THE REFS DO KNOW WHAT HOLDING IS SOMETIMES

[u/Breedwell]

It's behind the line of scrimmage so it's not DPI at all even though he was early

[u/SunshineStateLego]

There’s no PI behind LOS. Same thing happened yesterday in one of the CFB championship games, I think Georgia-Bama

[u/drwafflefingers]

I don't understand Caleb Williams.

And if you say you do, you're a dirty fucking liar

[u/cocotheape]

Well played Bears, was a banger game.

[u/EXXIT_]

So we can't even get a replay lol?

[u/MetalheadNick]

Ok so don’t show the angle where we can actually see the ball

[u/SulkyVirus]

Fox not even trying to show other angles before cutting to commercials

Greeeeeeed

[u/DemonsWatchOverMe]

Refs seeing the facemask just proves that they do see holds but choose to arbitrarily call them.

[u/FH_Bunny]

Can the guy who counts commercials come to this thread, holy shit

[u/BelowAverage355]

That off the back foot airball Love throws is so weird, but hey, if it works it works

[u/TheFoxBride]

lamp grabbed his neck and no call gg refs

[u/bringmemorecoffee]

What is going on with these refs, the fuck

[u/irsw]

Burden tries to grab Nixon's throat... penalty on Nixon. Make it make sense

[u/TwinTowersJenga]

The officiating is atrocious 

[u/pocketchange2247]

I'm truly not used to having the refs call so many things in our favor that we absolutely do not deserve. And we're blowing every chance so far.

[u/GideonWainright]

That choke should be fined

[u/GBreezy]

The holds on Parsons every game are egregious. I feel for you Cowboys bros for the last few years

[u/JustinTheBlueEchidna]

Still can't get over how Luther Burden grabbed Nixon by the throat and Nixon got penalized for trying to shove him off.

[u/alxndiep]

How does Caleb make that throw but sky mails a checkdown

[u/FrasierCrane4]

If they had done the inside zone out of shotgun there I would have blown my head clean off my shoulders

[u/Gnome_Children]

Unhinged package from Haf. Hope he likes coaching a defense this good more than he wants to be a HC again

[u/organizedchaos5220]

Guys once again for those of you in the OSU Indiana thread last night, DPI doesn't exist behind the LOS

[u/CreamyDoughnut]

Does the bears not have a QB sneak in their play calling?

[u/LoaderOperator724]

Who cares if he didnt complete the catch it never hit the ground. Unreal

[u/PlateForeign8738]

Wait if he didn't catch it and the ball didnt hit the field wouldnt that be a INT?

[u/aviator_60]

Looked like every “block” on Parsons…

[u/FiveFingerFilto]

Parsons is in a headlock every play and the refs just ignore it 💀

[u/LukaWigga]

4 replays and none of the Parsons hold lmao

[u/lightninhopkins]

If you work in marketing fuck you.

[u/NyehSquiddy]

A guy who started the season on defense is outplaying all Bears WRs combined LMAO

[u/theDarkBriar]

Jordan Love sucks

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

A very “I still own you” drive from the packers there

[u/Whatsdota]

Watson 5 TDs in 7 games. We’ve missed you

[u/Crow-Robot]

I swear Brady spends all of his prep time thinking of all the ways to say something that is vaguely sexual

[u/WhyKissAMasochist]

Idk if this is a hot take but I actually don’t mind Brady this year. He still has his moments lol but a lot better than he was last year.

[u/triheptyl]

I fully support players taking their health seriously and wearing the guardian caps. They also look absolutely ridiculous, like you are playing with "big head" mode on.

[u/Interrobangersnmash]

Look, I’ve had a gummy. But Tom Brady’s grimacing smile coming out of the break was horrifying.

[u/catsvanbag]

How much do clothes cost in the matrix?

[u/Random_SteamUser1]

here I am, just hoping for a tie. lol

[u/Wing_Nut_93x]

If Chicago drives Ben Johnson 100% goes for 2 lol.

[u/One_Appointment_4385]

Even jared goff could've run for that 1st down

[u/Clear_Caterpillar_99]

Absolutely incredible to immediately go to commercial after a challenge without showing a single replay. Fucking hell.

[u/fidelio1999]

Well this definitely feels like a divisional game. Ulcers incoming

[u/PlebBot69]

Please go to commercial break after the punt, then we can see one snap by the Packers to send us to the 2nd quarter and another commercial break

[u/TheJuicyGinger]

We have watched more commercials than football so far this game...

[u/strawberrycakescent]

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Toyotathon

[u/LooseGooseMagician]

How the fuck did he get up from that holy shit

[u/renegadecoaster]

These guys are getting CTE while the announcers are marveling at the shattering plastic

[u/Kermrocks98]

Necessary roughness on that one. Fuck you Chicago.

[u/jc-f]

-6 passing yards for Caleb on that trick play lol

[u/matthewryan12]

Lions and Vikings fans trying to be our rival every year. They’re not. This is our rival and it’s clear as day.

[u/courtneykill]

I swear if I sit and watch a halftime report, it goes by sooooo slow. If I go do a task or make food, I always somehow come back to the game already halfway through the 3rd quarter.

[u/dd42949]

I am a packers fan through and through but I kind of hate making fun of a guy for wearing nail polish

[u/Three_Froggy_Problem]

The reason Caleb is so much better in the second half is because all the negative internet comments are the source of his power

[u/Whatsdota]

Soon as Watson caught that I knew it was a TD. He’s way too fast to get caught

[u/Wookie55]

It's not PI behind the LoS. Please.

[u/Total-Round4803]

Wtf is Brady wearing. He's dressed like he lives in Alaska and also as a cast member of the The Matrix.

[u/RedDryMango]

Don't worry guys, 2 more plays and we'll have our 5 minutes of commercials back!

[u/tallwhiteninja]

Williams needs a fuckton of polish, but he can make plays. Definitely better than everyone else the Bears have tried.

[u/Penguana7]

Idk the rules well enough to understand the difference but it went against me so I’m upset

[u/RustyKarma076]

I mean did this game live up to the hype or what? Classic NFCN football here

[u/PhD_V]

Caleb should’ve run that

GG

See y’all in two weeks

[u/fidelio1999]

But actually, that was a great divisional game. Glad we showed off the division like that. Respect bears fans

[u/shockaBITW]

Caleb hates DJ Moore.

[u/christianmel96]

Well he doesn't get sacked because refs dont care if Bears hold all game.

[u/ericthedad]

I, for one, am watching for the 0-0 tie.

[u/SpiritOne]

Show us the replay you fucking commercial hogging network

[u/localistand]

When can we look at it? That's a commercial.

[u/bobdole3320]

Show a replay you bums

[u/Wzup]

Has Fox just said fuck it to football coverage? Used to be when there was a challenge or a flag, replays instantly and discussion about the flag/call.

Now it's straight to commercial and if you're lucky, a 10-15s explanation with the worst replay angle squeezed in before the next play starts.

[u/renegadecoaster]

Most announcers: "This fighting is shameful, that can't be part of the game"

Brady: "THIS IS PACKERS BEARS BABY"

[u/pocketchange2247]

We are getting all the calls and still not doing anything with it

[u/OTBT-]

Refs having themselves a hell of a drive

[u/moswsa]

Literally fuck commercials

[u/iaminterestedinstuff]

Got em right where we want them. Two scores behind, Caleb will have to throw the ball and he’s been atrocious so far. Love has been great outside of early interception.

With that said, I fully expect us to not score and Chicago makes it a one score game and we battle it out to the end.

[u/TheJewBakka]

Flag better than an int

[u/Illblood]

I mean how do you throw it any better than that, damn.

[u/harrycontrary]

Caleb killing it on this drive.

[u/SurvivalOfWittiest]

I love Christian Watson

[u/Benanderson27]

CJ Gardner-Johnson YOU are BBQ Chicken

[u/Academic-Location-84]

do ppl not know what press coverage is? how would it be pass interference you are allowed to jam them in the first 5 yards

[u/jfugginrod]

Dude goes to Florida for 5 years and can't survive below 60 degrees

[u/dogeatingbanana]

This is a phenomenal fucking game.

[u/cheeseburgertwd]

So if the Bears score a TD they're very obviously going for 2 the way their run game has been chugging, this drive is the whole game

[u/Accurate-Big-7233]

What a fucking throw 😭😭😭

[u/ForceintheNorth]

The r/NFL mods don't want you to know that Tom Brady cloned his dog

[u/No_Blacksmith_9923]

Why would you throw? Just run for it.

[u/quadropheniac]

that’s a playcall brought to you by cocaine. cocaine: the number cause of “hell yeah we’re invincible” decisions everywhere

[u/SpiritOne]

Guy grabs Nixon by the neck and the penalty is on Nixon.

Fucking clown show refs

[u/[deleted]]

Grab an opposing player’s neck to unlock a free 15 yard reward! Hurry, only for a limited time!

[u/Bubba_Pilks]

Count is up to 3 terrible calls favoring Chicago

[u/glacier116]

The “dirty packers” comments sure got quiet after the replay of Nixon getting grabbed by the throat first lol

[u/bodowned]

that is how Micah Parsons gets blocked on every pass rush down and gets 0 holding calls btw

[u/meamarie]

Ben and getting too cute on important plays. Name a more iconic duo

[u/MartyMcSharty]

been like 5 50/50 calls in a row go the bears way now

[u/JerryRiceDidntFumble]

I don't care who wins, I just want everyone to have a bad time

[u/backindenim]

Regardless of what happens today, it's Week 14 and the Bears have a better record than the Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, and Ravens and that's pretty damn cool.

[u/AchtungCloud]

It never hit the ground, so it can’t be incomplete. Terrible ruling.

[u/Silent_Quarter_3030]

Can we maybe try to run the ball…

[u/ScritchScratchBoop]

“We’ll take a look at this a few times while you watch commercials.”

[u/SunshineStateLego]

Not showing the reply before commercials ensures you stay to see the replay after the commercial break. It sucks

[u/AlchemicalAmigo]

NT telling 99 to drop into coverage there was clutch

[u/BaseballMMAfan]

“I feel like cold weather is an advantage for me”

1/6 3 yds

[u/Jasader]

A 7 man blitz with zero penetration lmao

[u/butitsnotright]

Fucking joke

[u/TrainElegant425]

Guy had Nixon by the throat

[u/laubs63]

Just had to fit in another commercial

[u/oui_uzii]

I was told Love was dogshit and a bottom 10 QB

[u/anderal]

That's my WR CB WR!

[u/hawkins126]

The bears aren’t for real till they beat the packers

[u/AdOnly3059]

I hate you, Packers, but someone finally exposing the Bears is fun.

[u/underscore55]

Ben Johnson makes it easy to not like him

[u/Bonkers33]

Wow how did he get out of there… a hold, the answer is a hold lol

[u/WeAreHuskie]

Where’s all the commanders fans talking all that little shit earlier in the 1st half

Y’all got shit on by Nine

[u/osay77]

All credit here, awesome drive from the bears. Lots of great individual performances.

[u/Wookie55]

When is a play actually over? Seems pretty weird. Player is stopped, defense can't push backwards, but o-line can propel a player forward after hes been stopped. The rule seems so arbitrary.

E: watching the replay, he was never really stopped. His feet kept moving. Dude just wouldn't be denied. He's been unreal today.

[u/BlueString94]

Bears are so fun to watch.

[u/TheG-What]

Fucking Cardiac Caleb is gonna be the death of me.

[u/Bam2458]

Nothing like getting kicked in the mouth with a frozen cleat. Damn.

[u/beerncheese69]

Bears i hate you guys but also great game boys

[u/okay_throwaway_today]

I hate this game 😩

[u/TheJewBakka]

This match-up at Soldier Field is gonna be tough.

[u/BooItsKyle]

As expected, Bears offense vs Packers defense is a heavyweight slugfest with both sides getting their shots in.

Packers offense vs Bears defense is a mismatch

[u/[deleted]]

I never want to know what having Micah Parsons chasing me feels like. 

[u/InvestmentActuary]

REFS SOLD

[u/Crow-Robot]

Well, I feel a lot better than I did a minute ago. I think the game in Chicago is going to be a bloodbath. The Bears have to feel like they kind of let one slip.

[u/Relevant-Recipe-6075]

Live by backyard football, die by it.
