I genuinely think this defense is good enough (even without Parsons) to make a serious run in the NFC. I'm significantly more concerned about the offense. Zach Tom has to be healthy for this team to have a chance against the NFC pass rushers. And the pass game is completely disadvantaged w/o Watson.

Up two possessions with the ball, and you choose to challenge the best CB in the NFL on a low percentage deep ball after you’ve been running the ball effectively.
Just wild game mismanagement throughout.

I’ll believe what opposing coaches are telling me. Broncos seem very happy to target Keisean Nixon as often as possible.

Why why WHY, are you challenging Surtain 1:1?

Definitely not DPI. Probably a hold on Melton. Not apologizing about it.

Basically 0% chance the Broncos are picking up 2nd and 18. Dumb penalty on Bullard/Nixon cost them 7.

Edge Cooper saves a 1st down by blowing up the blocker and letting pursuit clean that play up.

Looking back at my 2022 Draft Grades. I had Christian Watson as WR4 and player 22 overall. My notes"Watson is limited as a route runner as most big receivers are, but has a really nice ability to make sharp cuts and use his body to shield defenders. (1/4)

The last time the Bears were the projected 1 seed in the NFC this late in the season was 2010.....

As I slowly slide into a food coma, I’m revering back to Rasheed Walker possibly having the catch of the game.

Oh, I’m so effing stupid and so happy to be wrong.
A two score lead with the ball? Here comes the most conservative play calling you’ve ever seen!

Love stepped into the throw. And who would have guessed, it was perfect.

Tremendous run fits on 3rd and 4th down. But what is Dan Campbell doing with those play calls?

It would have been nice to be a little more aggressive and get 7. Then get some of your starters out of the game since you have to play a road game in 4 days.

I think there's a great lesson to be learned for the Packers from the Buffalo Bills. The Bills got dominated by the Dolphins and came back with a gameplan where they dealt with their weakness against the run. So, rather than trying to be ultra-efficient, they spread the field out against (1/3)

Christian Watson’s contract extension may end up as a massive steal for Gutey.
