some good playcalling stuff from ben johnson here
motion loveland to the short side for a nice gain on the toss
later in the game, motion loveland to the short side but fake the toss and gash em with the alley screen
linebackers all bite the fake and the blocking is perfect
talk about having to defend every blade of grass. PA boot to the quick out on the field side
caleb making a pretty nutty throw look routine
also what is this reaction from kalif lol

Offensively, the #Bears aren’t that far off their peers, and I imagine a lot of the delta we’re seeing has to do with Ben Johnson’s playcalling tendencies rather than success rate
The difference in defence is what makes the chart so glaring but it’s also fairly useless being that 7 of those 9 weeks were without Simmons
the whole chart is pretty noisy/insignificant overall, too much context lost
Fraud alert: #Bears are 4th in Super Bowl odds but it's been late down magic on both sides of ball.
Late downs are more pivotal but much larger sample of early downs makes them more predictive.
By net EPA/play, Bears are:
- 28th on early downs
- 1st (by a mile) on late downs

Comments here seem to think I’m calling for him to be penalized more
I would love for him to get away with it everytime, but so much has been made about that sly little move over the last month or so that I just imagine it hasn’t reached the NFLs radar
Hope I’m wrong lol
Jeff Simmons has gotten too popular to be using this move every week
Mark my words he’s gonna get called on it in a week or two

Tampa is better than people think, don’t think we’ll roll them over
However, it is primetime Ben Johnson, so I’ll #Bears 27-17

Bears fans, it's #ForecastFriday! What's your score prediction for Sunday's game?
I'll say CHI 38, TB 17. Bears are the better team and at home, and I think they roll here as a frenzied crowd welcomes Jeffery Simmons to Chicago.
Credit to the jags man, they’re a bit of a wagon and I still feel like Trevor Lawrence and Liam Cohen aren’t getting enough flowers

I don’t know how many times I mentioned this over the years, but this was always going to be the key for Caleb taking the next step
Less Superman, more Clark Kent. And he’s been doing it beautifully
The amazing thing with Caleb is that the reason he appears to have taken that leap into the Tier 1 of NFL QBs is that he's now just doing the simple stuff extremely well.

I was in the building for Khalil Mack’s first game as a Bear and totally agree with Jacob here
It wasn’t just the plays when Mack took over, it was also how much energy everyone else around him started playing with because of him
Felt the same last night
This debut game from Jeffery Simmons reminds me a lot of Khalil Mack's debut with the #Bears back in 2018.
Just an absolute game changer who makes the rest of the defense better around him. Except this time, Chicago is gonna hold onto the lead.

this is sick
#bears run the ball down to the one, and then Caleb gets them into the hurry to "reload" and run the same play again
they get into the same formation, run the same pre-snap motion, except they don't run the ball again, Caleb pulls it, rolls right, and finds Burden for the score
some really good gamesmanship early from Ben Johnson

“I expect Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams to have the best offensive game of any team against Seattle this year.”
