We had Houston on the ropes. It's a shame we couldn't finish the job out there. They absolutely must win these next two games.

Their offense looked good against the Panthers but.... It's the Panthers. Everyone looks good against them.
They beat the tacks without scoring an offensive TD. Caleb has been very hot or cold but that's supposed to be the case when you're a rookie.
Hopefully Campbell comes back but having Engram back is huge. Now that the league knows about BTJ, the MOF will be wide open. Kirk and Engram can eat. Bears also aren't very good against the run so Tank should have a good game.

That's what my mind is telling me as well. Chicago is somewhat one dimensional. They really can't run it well and that's been our strength so far.
Just hope they mix and match the coverages well and keep Caleb on his toes (within the pocket, outside the pocket he can hurt you).
Looking forward to Engram being back. Begging to see him and Strange out there in certain situations as well as split backfield looks with ETN and Big's.
Best way to take advantage of BTJ's speed drawing CB & Safety coverage's deep. Get your athlete's with YAC ability isolated more in zone's, etc.
It worked like I thought it would with the clots.

Chicago has a very good roster imo. Their weakness is their oline so hopefully Allen and Walker have a day. They have one of the best WRs corps in the league. Swift is a good back if their oline has a day against our DTs. They have a very good secondary and a good really good LB corps in Edmonds and Edwards. I'm very concerned about our secondary against their WRs. Trevor has to have another good day as well and hopefully Etienne can get going along with Tank to continue his good play. Our safties and Darby have been horrible and it a big concern against anyone right now
The defense should be "turnt" this week after just getting laughably exposed by Joe Flacco in key moments of the game.
The Bears run a 4 - 3, Cover 2 defense. If the offensive line can hold it down against their base front they should be okay. Good game to use BTJ's speed to scare their coverages and allow areas to open up underneath. Lawrence needs to be patient and take what's there just like he did this past Sunday.

Josh Hines-Allen got pump faked and should’ve had another one. They are getting pressure. Walker on an inside twist stunt looks like Jadaveon Clowney when he hit that Michigan RB, Walker is just a half step behind but it caused Flacco to want any part of that and he threw the ball sooner than he wanted for an incomplete. Hines-Allen almost had another TD very similar to his TD in 2022 that helped put the Jaguars in the playoffs against Tennessee.
These 2 dudes are about to hit their stride out there on the edges, and as a tandem they are on their way to being the best edge duo in franchise history.
Jones is gaining more and more confidence as he settles in. It would be crazy if he took 1 to the house this weekend. Brown is playing not to get beat deep but has been physical as a tackler. He reminds me of Brian Williams but he needs more seat time.
Bigsby is the man of the hour. This dude has played out of his mind the last 2 weeks. Thomas and that 4.3 speed can’t be slept on and the Colts found that out real quick. These 2 guys are lowkey playing off each other bc if they creep up to contain Bigsby then Thomas can hurt you vertically. If you peek at Thomas then Bigsby can bust loose for 50+
Shout out to Cam Little for continuing the “Colt Killer” that I dubbed Scobee about 10+ years ago on the Tom McManus radio show.
Trevor Lawrence had the 3rd most passing yards of his career vs the Colts and dialing up Kirk. Etienne you’re still my boy, but Bigsby has been flat-out, out playing you but I know you can be a weapon just tighten up.
We’re gonna have to score to stay in these ball games bc that secondary is sus.
Ezra Cleveland has earned my trust back for now and I like what he brought last week in the run game. Scherff, I don’t know man and I’ll leave it at that. Robinson and Harrison had ok games, Harrison is elite 90% of the time, but he makes some weird mistakes but he’s still the LT of the future and has the tools to be one of the best young tackles throughout the league. Walker Little was brought in as a 3rd TE and had a nice pancake block which is probably the most aggressive play I’ve seen out of him since he entered the league. Still can’t wait to see ol tugboat get in there and wreck shop.
Engram, Campbell, Wingard and Oluokun can gives us an extra boost but we’ll see.
Hey I ain’t went no where! We slip into London and get these next 2, we’re coming back home inside the Bank with a chance to get 4-4. We do that, and stuff changes real quick. I need Houston to stumble.
FYI walker did have 3 sacks
Good eye. Meant 4 sacks.
There's no shame in being nervous for this London game. The bears have more wins than us, and they just had a "break-out" game for their rookie QB that the entire media world is in love with.
But we are not the typical 1-4 team. We have playoff experience all throughout this roster. All things considered, I like our chances. The offense has to do what they did against the colts and what they did against Miami for 3 quarters. If everything clicks, we're hard to beat.
The streak has begun. Sunday showed me this team is still fighting. 3 of our 4 L's were 1 score games and we hadn't been able to overcome it. Sunday we found a way. It wasn't pretty but we needed an ugly W.
I'm going to make a BOLD claim and I think we get not 1 but 2 picks this week. I think Etienne and Tank have big days.
Jags 24
Bears 13
When are the Jags leaving for London? I keep hearing Thursday, but that's when the Hurricane will be passing and crossing over to the FL East Coast. They need to just head to London now and avoid all the nasty weather

If they wait till Thursday they save a fortune on jet fuel, can probably get there with a glider.

Go to bed fingers crossed and wake up fingers crossed hoping you see something positive lol
As a Jags fan living in Denmark i love the London Games
Might be a trap game for the Bears in the sense that they have their bye following their game against us. I would imagine some players may extend their stay in London or Europe in general and may be looking at this more as an in season vacation with a pesky little game to get out of the way first than as a business trip.
I've seen many a team flop heading into their bye week over the years even without it being in London making it seem like some of the players' minds were on their vacation plans more so than on their game plan.
If you need a bears update just turn on 1010xl, the girl host on there is exuberant about "our" defense and "our" cornerbacks, and "our "offense." I literally went into Publix with her talking about their line and came out half an hour later and she was talking about her quarterback Caleb Williams.

That would be Taylor who went from intern to cohost of helmets and heels
Huge bears fan
I don't listen often, but she's like Frangie w/ the Steelers/pirates/gaturs
If that station didn't have Jaguars Today they'd be damn near worthless to me

There's an easy solution. Cowherd on 930 AM. You'll also avoid an hour of the insufferable Joe Cowart as well.
Duvernay on IR. Good for Washington and I think Washington is the better returner at this point anyway
