1. You’re morally obligated as a Bears fan to root for Illinois so long as they are not playing your college team. Per George Halas choosing Navy and Orange because of Illinois

2. Big league W coming gang.

3. I saw Dennis Allen install a 5-2 front in training camp that I don’t remember seeing used this year.  I wonder if it gets used in this game in some situations, especially now that Booker is back as someone that can play a wider edge and drop into coverage some.  

4. My whore wife scheduled our daughter’s 5th bday party tomorrow, followed immediately by our annual trek to a local tree farm to secure our Christmas tree. If I’m lucky, I’ll catch the end of the game.

5. We got Ian Eagle and JJ Watt calling this game. The announcing will be spectacular if nothing else. Let’s hope the Bears give Ian a reason to go off.

6. Not super confident in this game with all the defensive injuries. I think Tomlin will try to emphasize the run with LB out.

7. Luther Legend will be born tomorrow.

8. We’re literally

9. All I can say is I hope to fucking god we don’t have to play the refs again tomorrow too. If we have to play the refs, and the Steelers tomorrow we are absolutely beyond cooked.

10. Love from Ireland, was in the beautiful city of Chicago a year ago and know the bears have got this 🐻

11. Need some help from the Pope tomorrow to send Rodgers back to hell.

12. Passing Offense going to go off, 275 yards passing 2 td, no TO’s. Bears win 27-24

13. Give me some hope we can slow them down with the injuries

14. i really need a caleb banger this weekend.

15. I believe we’re going to find a way despite the injuries never waver

16. Hey you. Yes you. If you’re reading this, YOU are starting as linebacker for the Chicago Bears! Get ready to suit up

17. This defense won’t ever be healthy at the same time. Just in time for our non existent pass rush to beat Rodgers

18. we have no linebackers, our defense is depleted, this is our last chance to beat Rodgers most likely… but we have caleb and ben.

    bears by 1,000,000,000.

    it’s bear down, always.

19. I’d be surprised if the steelers start Aaron

20. 69-0 incoming

21. Guys, I’ve been signed to play LB tomorrow for the Bears. Wish me luck! 🤞

22. Caleb statement game coming.

    

23. Nervous for this one, but in a fun way

24. Given all the hype about it, our defense might just step the fk up

25. We may be fucked. The defense is going to be Bengals bad. I’m kind of worried we might win like 1 more game max at this point with the defense this destroyed by injuries.

26. 

27. Caleb can’t big play hunt this game. Take what you’re give and run if it’s not there. Eat up clock with the defense battered. This could be a career defining stretch with the Eagles next week.

28. Caleb has to have a big game today, carreer defining game. If he delivers today it marks a before and after in his carreer

29. Game is basically set as even by the books with Bears getting the home field bump. Must win game if we want to entertain making the playoffs. 2nd most winnable game behind the Browns.

30. I suspect we will have to score points. Rogers, if he plays, will likely have his best game of the season vs the bears.

    Caleb and the offense will need to score points. Need to make several big plays. That seems to be what’s working when it hits.
