This is my first post on the game 09/20/2026. First of all, it doesn't matter who the QB is on Monday. The Bears are not beating the Eagles. No reason to play an injured Williams. I know. I know. On any given Sunday...I mean Monday. Too many excuses were made about the weather and rain. Both teams had the same field and weather. One team won and one didn't. I don't remember people complaining about the rain when the Bears beat SF on opening day 2022 and that weather and rain was much worse than last Sunday.

OK, the Bears were awful in every phase. It happens. I think the Bears will lose 2 of their next 3 games with the Jets being the victory.

But I have to tell you Wassup. Before I got the chance to post today, I KNEW I would see a post from you just like this. We all know you hate the guy. Some guys have a higher threshold of pain than others. Take a look at the video of the Achilles injury Aaron Rodgers suffered and his reaction, now that we know how serious it was. I didn't think it was that serious when it happened based on his reaction to it.

Then when I saw Williams go down I thought it could be a season ending injury based on his reaction. I am thrilled to know I was wrong. I don't ever want to see anyone get hurt. But some guys handle injury differently than others. That is all I will say.
It's unlikely with either back up the Bears win the Eagles game but this is the NFL and Phily hasn't lit the world on fire through two weeks. While I think Bagent is the better option over Keenum, but since Bagent has not been at the facility so far this week, I think they should go with Keenum for this week at least.

Gman,

O come on. Caleb is a good QB but just not my type of QB.

Too much drama for me and I get tired of watching him running behind the line of scrimmage from one sideline to the other when guys are open and he seldom tucks the ball in and runs for it until this year.

I'm just not really a fan.

My guy I disclosed on the board before the draft was for the Bears to pick Patrick Mahomes in the draft. I like the way he plays the game and was a big fan of his in college.

Can we please put the Patrick Mahomes issue to rest? OK you got something right. I am happy for you. But, we don't need you to further broadcast it until death seeks out all of us.

In 2025 season Caleb Williams ranked 10th among QB in rushing 1st downs. And these were not "tush push" 1st downs like you would see in Phily etc...

It is 2026, why are we bring up Mahomes and that draft....my goodness.

I won't bring it up again until Caleb wins 3 Super Bowls.

Deal?

Caleb does have a mustache now and that seems to be the secret to winning titles in Chicago! (Coach Q, Ditka, Phil Jackson and others).

Cmon man…this board doesn’t question Caleb. He’s on the “do not discuss list” that Providence admin is on. You’re gonna get this 🚽
According to the “Board Rules” Illinois High School Football talk only. No College or Pro or football from other states unless they are playing a IHSA football team but here we are. A guy on the old board called it out & was banned over that!!!!

I think this is a good quote from Max Crosby, "I've had one hammy thing a while back. That will freak you out when it first happens." He added that Williams may have thought, "Something really bad just happened," before knowing the actual diagnosis."

Did Max take a cart off the field?

I'm guessing they roll the dice with the backup vs a much improved Jets team then he plays vs Pack
They've already said he's out 3-4 weeks minimum so that's why previous poster threw out putting him on IR.

Who starts next week Keenum or Bagent?

Shocked at how well the defense has played in the 2nd half.
Keenum, good for him.
Weird 1st half.
D showed in 2nd half.
Hurts looked terrible.
Gotta be careful of the wide side of field outs, had me nervous twice at least.
Ben might have had his best game plan as a HC.
Roush with another WTF play.
Rookie DBs played well again.
Ben’s gonna go for it in those situations, we might as well get use to it.
Didn’t look at box score but penalty situation seemed better.
Nice to be on the other side during these primetime games.

Keenum played as well as could be expected, but you make a good point on the wide side outs. Regarding a previous discussion in this thread, those are examples of why game plans/play calling needs to be tweaked for different QBs. Keenum doesn’t have the arm strength to safely make those throws.
