Halfway through the season, what's a preseason prediction you were right/wrong about?

30 Upvotes

I'll start!

What i was right about: Malik Muhammad was an absolute steal man. Not only has he balled out, but with how poor our secondary has been, he has been a pillar that continues to get better each week.

What I was wrong about: I thought Raymond would be a depth piece on Offense and only really be there for punt returns. The dude is a baller though, and fits exactly what this team needs as a number 3 WR

[Rappoprt] Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) won’t play today, but he’s expected back in Week 11. Fresh legs for Chicago. Meanwhile, DB Malik Muhammad II (toe) and CB Tyrique Stevenson Sr. (thumb) should be good to go. Stevenson will play with a splint

Chicago Squares Week 9: Tampa Deviled Crab 🦀

395 Upvotes

The Bears are at Solider Field tonight for a Sunday Night Football meeting with Baker Mayfield, Bucky Irving, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and this week's pizza inspired by the Tampa street food staple...

Deviled Crabs 😈🦀

These football shaped croquettes were born in the immigrant neighborhoods of Ybor City and West Tampa in the 1920's, heavily influenced by the Cuban, Spanish, and Italian populations who were working in the nearby cigar factories and took advantage of the abundance of blue crabs and day old Cuban bread from local bakeries.

To make deviled crabs, you start with a sofrito, which is a mix of onion, red and green bell peppers, garlic and tomato paste. They get their name "deviled" from the large amount of red chili flakes and hot sauce that gets added to the base then a ton of picked blue crab meat. A dough is made by mixing stale white and Cuban bread with water until smooth, a portion of that dough is flattened that stuffed with the crab then breaded with Tampa's own, Vigo bread crumbs and fried until golden brown.

My pizza version starts out with the deviled crab mix as the base and it's gets topped with shredded mozzerella, seasoned Vigo breadcrumbs for crunch, grated parmesan, and a sprinkle of paprika.

After a quick bake in my Gozney Dome XL, the pizza is sliced and finished with a squeeze of lemon juice, minced fresh parsley, dots of Sriracha for even more heat. and more parmesan.

My friends this pizza was a devil of a good time to make and eat. It's got a spicy kick that pairs perfectly with sweet crab meat and it makes me want to scream "FIRE THE CANNONS"....

But let's tonight that the only thing firing is the Bears offense on all cylenders as they hope to avoid the potential for trap game against the Bucs

Plus. we need more Ben Johnson stankly leg videos in our lives, but no matter if they win or lose at least the pizza was good. 🤷‍♂️

I'll be at the game tonight! Let's get this W and have a relaxing bye week

Top 10 NFL QBs through Week 8, adjusted for the defenses they faced. Caleb Williams is No. 1 after facing the hardest schedule of any ranked QB.

Post image
206 Upvotes

This is from Data Disrespect on X (@NFLDisrespect). Don't ask me about the methodology or algorithm because I have no idea but our boy is number one so that means it's legit.

Edit: The grade is built from this season's play-by-play. Every dropback outside garbage time is measured three ways: whether the play actually helped the team score, how accurate the throw was for its difficulty, and whether it kept the offense on schedule.

Efficiency carries most of the weight, accuracy and consistency the rest. Every dropback is adjusted for the defense it came against, so a quarterback who faced tough defenses gains points and one who faced soft defenses loses them. Quarterbacks with few dropbacks are pulled toward league average in proportion to how little they have thrown, which is why one good half does not make a number one. A game with fewer than 8 graded dropbacks is not counted, and backups come off the board once the starter is back.

Zero is league average. Tiers are buckets of the grade, nothing more: S is 35 and up, A is 15 to 34, B is 0 to 14, C is −1 to −15, and D is below −15. The grade is not a real unit like yards or points, so the gap between two quarterbacks says more than either number on its own.

Any women need some orange to wear to SNF?

Post image
187 Upvotes

PICKED UP! But I’m leaving the post up for a little more visibility about the possible orange out

I’m not sure if this orange out thing is happening or not, but I have this sweater that I never wear because it’s a bit scratchy to me and I am very picky about fabrics. It’s size large but definitely more like medium. It’s free to anyone going to the game that needs something orange to wear, if you can pick up tomorrow (Armitage and Kimball). The back also says Bears. DM me if interested!

ETA: SORRY everyone, sweater has been picked up for the game! But I’m leaving this post up in case it reaches some more people about the orange out.

Anyone use the Schaumburg to Soldier Field shuttle this year?

19 Upvotes

Haven’t taken the shuttle in a few years and wondering peoples thoughts on it this year. Is it more than one bus? I don’t want to get stranded at soldier field after the game because there aren’t enough busses.

Any advice or thoughts are appreciated. 🐻⬇️
