Week 4 - Jets at Bears

[Lake Shore Drive]

Last of the three game home trifecta for our boyz. After this it's 3 of the next 4 games on the road. This isn't one of your more recent Jets teams, the one that seem to perennially live in last place. This current Jets team battles. While their record is only 1-2, each game with them has been a dogfight. They took both the Packers and Lions down to the wire in those losses, This could be an exciting matchup between two head coaches who were the respective OC/DC on the Lions a couple of years back.

Windy City Gridiron gives a nice little summary of how the Jets are faring health-wise, where they rank statistically, and so on:

It's a shame I'll be missing my first Bears game of the '26 season, but long before camp even started plans were made for a golf outing this weekend in Palm Springs with some ex-work cohorts. Sure wished I had missed that Vikings debacle! Anyway, I'll just have to follow along on my phone. At some point during the week the NFL channel will play the game. I'll catch it all then....assuming we win of course.

I have confidence in this team like I've never had before. I think the Vikings game was one of those flukes where just everything went wrong all at once.......and you will have that.
Hopefully its the only one.

Not sure if Case or Bagent who starts,I think Keenum deserves another shot myself. Bagent may not be as efficient as Keenum, but I trust whomever Ben trusts him.

The Jets are averaging 21 points and the Bears have held teams to just one TD over the last 8 quarters. Should be a fun matchup

Keenum does "deserve" another shot. In any other QB room (any of the other 31 QB rooms) he would get it. However, I don't think you can pay Tyson Bagent like you did, show the trust you've shown in him, turn down trade talks for him, and then sit him behind your emergency 3rd QB. I don't think you can move forward and say "Tyson Bagent is now our emergency and Case Keenum is our backup".

I think you stay on schedule and play Bagent this week. I think you have to.

I already know we lost because we're f**king up the game thread momentum.

All this back and forth. We need better systems boys. I might want to go back to Bagent at QB this week. However, with game threads? I wasn't looking to go back to LSD after we won last week.

I'm the jinx that keeps on giving.

The Jets are also 2nd stingiest defense in the league with respect to yards allowed. This is no gimme game.

I like how Darnell is the face of the Bears, at least while Caleb is out. If he stays healthy, another All Pro season is in store for him.

 

[Sam Squanch]

Looks like Gordon is practicing again. That’s great for our defense. Hopefully, all of that sweet time he took getting healthy will pay off with 3/4 of a healthy season. However, if Gordon gets injured and he needs to be carted off in Chicago, he may be the first player not to get cheers. They might even boo.

"Gimme"? Hell no. This is going to be a VERY difficult game. One that we could easily lose.

My prediction is that we struggle to move in the first half and fans start calling for Case.

A lot of pressure on Ben and Bagent to come through after how well Monday went.

Judging off the little time he played against Minny, I think he’s going to move the ball, but struggle in the red zone. Case was great last week, but that doesn’t mean he would be great this week.

One thing to consider about this defense is it will be the system of the guy that Ben Johnson squared off against in practices in Detroit. If there is someone likely to be Ben Johnson’s kryptonite, it’s Aaron Glenn.

Saying Bagent will struggle in the red zone because of the Minnesota game is silly.

Small sample size, sure, but he also doesn’t seem to have the arm to zip it in there.

A Jets fans perspective on Ben's offense and Tyson Bagent.

 

[Jiddy]

Looked down to me…

 

[cwalke3408]

This already some BS

 

[Payton]

Overcomplicating it at the goal line again…

 

[cwalke3408]

Why would you not return that

 

[cwalke3408]

These refs are horrible

 

[Jiddy]

What is up with the refs today? Good Lord.

 

[Jiddy]

Bout damn time
