I’m a long suffering Bear fan living in SE WI and also enjoy the Packers. I have the NFL ticket so I can watch every Bears game and saw them all this season. I thought the Bears were very lucky to get these last minute wins then there is a pattern I’m starting to think Bears are a good team with an excellent HC coach that makes adjustments and convinced the players to buy in do your job and we will win. I think Johnson calls play adjustments that make the difference to free up his receivers and Williams makes the throws. Then you add in Williams ability to make something from breakdowns also is magic. The D is the same way all coaching adjustments that work a turn over machine bend but don’t break D. Idk how far Bears will go but they made the plays all season to get where they are. We will see how far they go.

Told ya...Packers were DONE 4 weeks ago...If they don't fire La Fleur..im gonna start rooting for my 2nd favorite team..the Lions..can't take the shitty defense...Hafley, or how ever it's spelled can take a flying leap too..I don't understand how he's a hot coaching commodity...the packer defense went from being 5th NFL to 27th over the last 4 weeks..and don't get me started on the packers special teams...he needs to be fired too...just an absolute joke of a collapse by the packers last night..all you can do is laugh..it was pathetic, and totally expected with La Fleur

I absolutely agree with you whitedust! I also watched this season unfold, with doubts, and then started to see that they were a for real forces as a team. Caleb is very, very talented. More so that I had thought. And as he matures under Johnson's guidance he only gets better. As mentally, with his split second decisions, play adjustments. Perhaps it's the perfect combination? He very well could be the QB that the Bears have long dreamed for. Johnson has his players really believing in themselves, as being able to win, no matter the odds. That's Ultra Big as opponents view that kind of team as being so very dangerous to face! I see that as a winning formula, and a bright future.
