The Elephant Is Still in the Room, and It's Called Accuracy
Well, that sucked.
Packers 28, Bears 21
I had my lady/Executive Editor's family over for this game, and like I said in an interview last week, this was going to be a “tough game”.
And there's one thing I keep hearing after this one:
"It was a tough loss."
Yeah — no shit.
But let's stop dancing around the obvious.
Two words:
Accuracy matters.
First Half: 42.9% Completion. That's It. That's the Story.
I've been screaming this on the blog since day one, and Sunday, the truth got exposed on national TV: Caleb's accuracy is a fucking problem.
The plays were there. Wide open.
The scheme was fine.
The run game was trying to get established.
The O-line held up as long as they could.
But you still have to make the fucking throws.
This isn't the fucking NBA, bro.
You can't be down 39 to the Raptors and walk out with an 11-point win because you "heated up in the fourth." Caleb isn't Kobe. This is football. You miss throws early? The whole game bends around it.
He wasn't accurate in Philly.
He hasn't been accurate in the last nine games.
And Sunday, it got exposed even more, on national TV, in front of everybody.
Let's Talk About the Comeback That Almost Was
People love saying:
"See? Look how Caleb and the Bears battled back!"
Yeah — he battled back because Loveland made a circus catch, Burden levitated like Spider-Man, and the Packers defender dropped the end-zone pick.
Let's keep it real.
That touchdown pass at the end of the game he fired in there? Same exact concept they ran against Philly on Black Friday.
Two guys open.
Same design.
Same read.
And he missed.
It wasn't the play.
It wasn't the OC.
It wasn't the refs.
It was a shit ball.
The Packers' DC Played Chess. Caleb Played Checkers.
Green Bay basically said:
"We're taking away the run. Make Caleb win this by throwing for 60 minutes."
And that's exactly what happened.
No lies, no illusions, no magic.
If it weren't for the O-line and the run game, this thing would've been a first-half blowout.
He was at 43% in the first half and 54% for the game.
That's practice-squad shit.
I don't want to hear "rookie" or "patience."
You're the No. 1 overall pick with DJ Moore, Loveland, Rome, and an actual offensive line.
Make the throws.
And Please — Stop Getting Mad About the Drake Maye Comparisons
Go look at the top quarterbacks in the league.
They're all near the top in accuracy.
Completion percentage matters. Always has, always will.
Drake Maye got thrown into a nuclear wasteland in New England:
No weapons.
No coordinator.
No line.
No identity.
No hope.
Caleb got the exact opposite. That actress GM gave him legit pieces to work with — because that's all he would brag about.
And here's the funniest part?
Mac Jones — who was sitting at home playing PlayStation 5 after flaming out in New England — is now top five in completion percentage.
Coaching matters.
Seeing the field matters.
Accuracy matters.
DJ Moore Is Furious — and He Should Be
When your No. 1 receiver needs scaffolding to catch a ball, something's wrong.
Caleb isn't taking the layups.
He refuses the high-percentage throws.
He wants the hero ball, the off-platform highlight, that Murray–Mahomes–Rodgers cocktail he was mixing in college.
Cool.
But you still gotta hit a wheel route or a simple 10-yard out.
Now Let's Talk About the Defense — Or Whatever That Was
Four years into this "actress GM" experiment, and we still don't have a pass rush.
Sweat is the only guy showing up.
He's earning every penny.
The rest?
Dog shit.
If you blitz six or seven guys against an elite quarterback like Jordan Love, he'll eat you alive. That's Madden on Rookie Mode. Call "Slot Outs," hit X, touchdown, controller down.
Even Deion couldn't survive playing corner behind this pass rush.
Green Bay's first and second-rounders looked like first and second-rounders.
Their GM actually drafts for height–weight–speed, not vibes and "potential."
Their pass rush changed the game.
Ours changed the channel.
GM 101: Build to Win Your Division
The Athletic put out a list of the top GMs in the NFL.
Wanna guess where the Bears GM showed up?
He didn't.
Not on the list.
Not in honorable mentions.
Not even as a footnote.
That tells you everything.
GM 101: You draft and build your team to win your division. That's what the Chiefs did. That's what the Eagles did.
Four years in, and what do we have?
Still no fucking pass rush.
Montez Sweat? Shoutout — the only guy who consistently shows up.
But the rest?
Atrocious.
No pass rush means Dennis Allen has to blitz just to get pressure. Against an elite QB like Jordan Love, you're cooked. You end up with safeties on speedy wide receivers. That's a lost cause. That's why the secondary got torched.
How many chances do you give a guy who's basically missed 100% of his defensive line spending outside of Sweat?
He drafts for what a guy could be, not what he actually is.
That's a major fucking red flag.
The Magic Carpet Ride Is Running Out
I said it weeks ago.
This guy's magic was going to run out sooner or later.
On Sunday, it ran out on national TV.
The run game and O-line kept us afloat.
Without them, it's a massacre.
Caleb is 37th out of 40 quarterbacks in accuracy — including backups.
That's a problem.
My bad Bro, I’m 37th in the league.
