And then threw that dunderhead interception. The Bears have some decisions to make in the offseason. They have salary cap problems and need depth. Hopefully Caleb Williams will mature. Unfortunately, the Bears now face a first place schedule, and that matters.

First of all, Moore cut off the intended route. Williams threw to a spot that was open, but Moore was supposed to subduct the DB. Instead, he jogged out of his break, letting the DB undercut the route.
Sometimes INTs are the QB's fault. Sometimes they're not.
He threw that ball exactly where he was supposed to.
Second,, the difference in schedule is smaller than you make out.
They played 35% over their schedule in division where everyone was over .500, and they played the Eagles, Niners, & Steelers, all of whom made the playoffs.
Since they'll play the same 2 divisions the other North teams will play, we're talking about 3 games that are discretionary based on record, and one division winner will be starting next year without their starting QB.

He's wildly inconsistent. They have become known among fans as the 'cardiac Bears' because they often don't even seem to show up until some time in the fourth quarter. And then only win by a field goal.

Just one perspective by one Bears fan. Maybe next year?

but Caleb Williams is no Joe Montana yet.
Hard as it is for a Forty Niner fan to do, I’m picking the Rams to beat the Seahawks and win the Super Bowl against the Patriots.

Chicago area family 40 years ago. This has been so fun. Just even playing tonight was like? Unexpected.

I exit stage left and look forward to some basketball which is what I really love to watch.

Fun times friend. Fun to escape the CRAZY!!
