Now who's posturing? Pritzker says he's open to funding infrastructure, which was what the Bears were asking for all along! He was hoping to get the Bears to beg to try and prove he's the big man in the room, figuratively of course, physically it's no question.

Hasn't that generally been the stance since the beginning? I thought the only thing that he wasn't open to was any payment for the stadium itself

The silence is somewhat deafening in this thread regarding the double f-bombs from Ben Johnson in the post-game locker room Saturday night. I know he has gone down a couple of notches in my wife's book since, but I appreciate the reduction of other male competition anyway. For me, BJ seems to have unfortunately taken himself down to the level of so many of the present-day politicians getting on the f-bomb bandwagon embarrassing themselves and their causes.
He said it within the confines of his team's locker room. Anyone making an issue of this is soft.

YES!!! He said the exact same thing before. There is nothing new here, he has changed no stance ect.
Again, I have been told the Bears haven't been the ones to supply any more detail, ect. This is exactly what the Bears want, for fans to point finger at state. At worst they are equally at fault but the Bears are not the victims here.

It's funny because the McCasky's didn't want any swearing on Hard Knocks...but I assume "F the Packers" is not swearing in their book.

Too many missed opportunities on offense. Gonna come back to haunt them.

Another missed opportunity on offense. Hated that 3rd down call of running out of the shotgun.

At least one of those plays needed to be a rollout with the option for Caleb to run.

Caleb does not want this game enough. At some point especially at the end of the game you have to take over and tuck the ball in, use.your athletic ability and run with the football forward!!

I wonder if the 2 Ram DBs enjoyed the view of Williams scrambling 50 yards away instead of playing pass defense in the end zone.

If at any point during the game if they could have converted a short yardage situation I would agree with you, but they couldn't.
I just think you put the ball in Caleb's hands and tell him to win it for you.

Give him the chance for the Jordan moment.

Good season. Tough loss. It seemed like DJ Moore wasn’t running hard like he didn’t think the ball was coming to him. I hate to see him jogging when he could have caught a pass if he ran his route hard. Don’t get it.

Yes, we all heard the announcers say exactly that, no need to repeat it.

I have a theory his brain was a bit "foggy"

Defense showed up and gave the Bears a chance. BJ not taking the points twice, dropped passes, either bad calls/execution on short yardage, and Caleb being "off" for most of the second half plus were surprising

They missed on 4 or 5 3rd or 4th and 1 plays, I would have zero confidence in a 2 point play.

I disagree. Put the ball in your #1 picks hands and tell him to get the two yards and win the game.

Show me your worth it.

You need to find out if he is Pippen or Jordan. This is the moment.
