The Patriot's no name pass rush unfortunately had their way with the Bears O line. Not good.

That was a top 10 defense. The Bears put up 30 and Williams threw for 300+. I'd say it was pretty good.

Are there things to clean up? Always but let's not act like it was some horrid game.

The Patriots blitzed a lot, and Williams was under pressure quite a bit, but he handled it tremendously. The Patriots defense is pretty good and the Bears put up over 400 yards on them.

Caleb didn't seem under pressure all night? Excellent playcalling and his superior arm saved the day. Some great catches too.

They blitzed 60% of the game. Do you expect they won't get pressure? Did the Bears handle the pressure?

I would be concerned if it shut the Bears down, but it did not.

Wow 60% - that explains Caleb not having any time. Sounds good.

Based on his career stats, it was less than a 40% shot, he was 2-9 in attempts 55 yards or more in his career going into last night. But obviously Johnson sees him every day or most days and made the right call. I don't think many would have been upset with a punt there. But I agree the Bears D was getting gashed also.

And Santos even admitted postgame that on the missed kick earlier in the game that he tried to make it draw more than he intended.

Wonder if we can pick up a veteran fa who maybe can't run the routes as well anymore but still has some run blocking chops.

The Bears took this guy in the 3rd round. It's a pretty high pick. The game vs Seattle is week 8. He's got to give them something. Average works. He can't be a negative. This is beyond a golden opportunity for him.

Speculation more jumbo packages with Trapillo ,Benedet combo as Trapillo gets more gameshap and healthy. Would make easier handoff ..

Can't they just do the straight stuff that is working?

Kmet's blocking has been a huge part of the Bears success, and they have been in 3 TE packages a lot.

Trapillo or Benedet being a better stand-in for that role than a practice squad TE doesn't seem impossible.

This year, the Bears have actually had more success in 11 than they have in 31.
