Locked On Bears - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears gave up a lot to trade for Jeffery Simmons, but he is the type of player who is well worth the risk.

If Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams continue on their current trajectory, then Simmons should be the missing piece that puts them over the top.

Caleb Williams ended the debate over which QB from the 2024 NFL Draft class is the true top dog.

He beat Drake Maye and the Patriots head-to-head, and the two of them left Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix and the rest of the class behind them.

Caleb Williams went blow-for-blow with Drake Maye and made the tough throws his team needed to win the game.

The Chicago Bears defense deserves some credit too for a solid gameplan against the New England Patriots, despite an ugly play at the end of the first half.

Dennis Allen's aggressive gameplan shut down Bijan Robinson and had the Chicago Bears defense one step ahead of Michael Penix.

They might have gotten ahead of themselves in the fourth quarter, but they had Atlanta struggling to find answers for most of the game.

Dennis Allen's defense also fell apart with too many huge mistakes, but the offense didn't make it any easier on them.

The Chicago Bears are taking back the rivalry from the Green Bay Packers, who all of a sudden want to act like the victims of the trash talking they started.

A Bears win on Sunday with Tyson Bagent will be devastating to Matt LaFleur and cement the balance of power in the NFC North.

Case Keenum earned the opportunity to remain the Chicago Bears starter while Caleb Williams recovers from his hamstring injury.

It's not a knock on Tyson Bagent, but Ben Johnson doesn't need to fix a Keenum-led offense that isn't broken.

Dennis Allen's defense came to play, too, getting back to some of the aggressive play-making that carried them a year ago.

In order for Case Keenum to lead the Chicago Bears to an upset victory, the Philadelphia Eagles will need to make mistakes to give him extra opportunities to win.

The pressure is on Dennis Allen's defense to make the plays necessary to keep the Bears offense in the game with a third-string quarterback.

The Chicago Bears are likely turning to QB3 with Tyson Bagent in the concussion protocol, but Ben Johnson should be able to make it work with Case Keenum.

The bigger question is how much he will try to adjust the offense from what we saw in the first two games with Caleb Williams.

After Caleb Williams received an encouraging injury update, he was unfairly criticized on social media for his on-field reaction to leaving the Week 2 game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Lighthearted jokes and memes are fine, but the hot take reactions have been lazy and inappropriate.
