To go from good to great, Bears can learn tons from last 4 teams standing: Broncos, Patriots, Seahawks, Rams

Bears Seek Clarity Amid NFL Playoff Fray, Lessons from Four Teams Standing at Fidelity

The Chicago Bears are a tier below teams such as the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, who face each other in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. They lag behind the rebuilds of the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots, who will contest the AFC Championship Game. Yet, their progress has been notable.

Coach Ben Johnson took the Bears from terrible to good; now, he aims to elevate them to elite status. To achieve this goal, they can learn a lot from the four teams standing in the NFL playoffs, which includes two teams with seemingly insurmountable defensive pressures and one team boasting an efficient quarterback.

The Broncos' relentless pass rush has made opposing quarterbacks almost powerless. With 68 sacks, leading the league, their ability to disrupt opposing QBs has virtually rendered them into Mitch Trubisky-esque figures, unable to break free from their clutches. For a Bears defense lacking a top-tier defensive end in Montez Sweat, this is an invaluable lesson.

On the other hand, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has established himself as a more efficient passer than Caleb Williams, with a 72% completion rate and 113.5 passer rating. While stats are not everything, they often tell the story. The Bears' young signal-caller needs to build on his prolific playmaking ability by mastering the basics of throwing short passes that can lead to explosive gains.

The Seahawks boast an incredible wide receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has led the league with 1,793 yards receiving and is a nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators. The Bears need to figure out if their rookie Rome Odunze can replicate this kind of production, which has been hindered by injury.

Meanwhile, the Rams have built a reputation as an attractive destination for top free agents. Quarterback Matthew Stafford's desire to join the team and wide receiver Davante Adams' willingness to sign with them demonstrate that they are on the cusp of becoming a championship contender. The Bears can leverage this momentum by showcasing their all-business culture, improved reputation under president Kevin Warren, and young quarterback Caleb Williams' exceptional talent.

Bears safety Kevin Byard has said that winning will be an alluring aspect for players re-signing with the team this offseason. This narrative shift should become a key component of their recruiting pitch as they attempt to attract top talent in free agency.
 
The Bears are still far from being on the same level as those top teams like Seahawks and Rams. They need to learn from those who made it this far, especially the Broncos with that insane pass rush. It's crazy how much of a difference their defense makes. The Bears' QB situation is also super interesting - Caleb Williams has some serious skills but needs to work on those short passes. I'm not sure if Rome Odunze can live up to the hype yet πŸ€”
 
I think the Bears are really showing progress, but we gotta see how far they can take it πŸ€”. They've got a good coach in Ben Johnson and some young talent like Rome Odunze, but they're still a bit behind the Seattle Seahawks and LA Rams. I mean, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is on another level right now, and it's gonna be tough for Odunze to replicate that kinda production 🀯.

On the other hand, the Broncos' pass rush is insane πŸ”₯, it's like they're trying to disrupt QBs everywhere! And Drake Maye's got some impressive stats, but you gotta remember that stats aren't everything. The Bears need to work on their short passing game and figure out how to get Odunze more consistent πŸ“ˆ.

I think the Bears can learn from the Rams' approach, showing top free agents they're a desirable destination πŸ‘. They've got some great young talent too, especially Caleb Williams, so it's all about how they showcase that πŸ”΄. But for now, I'm not sure if they'll be able to catch up with those top teams in the NFC πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how some teams can just shut down opposing offenses like that 🀯. The Broncos' pass rush is insane! 68 sacks in the league? That's some next-level pressure. I feel bad for Bears QB Caleb Williams, he needs to learn from those guys and figure out a way to escape when that much heat is coming at him πŸ”₯.

At the same time, it's impressive how the Seahawks have built around Jaxon Smith-Njigba - they're basically tailor-made for his skills. And I love how the Rams are using Matthew Stafford's reputation as a draw to free agents. It just goes to show that culture and leadership matter in sports πŸ†.

As a retiree, I've seen my fair share of ups and downs in sports, but what I admire most about these playoff teams is their discipline and focus. They're not getting distracted by all the hype surrounding them - they're staying laser-focused on the goal 🎯.
 
🏈πŸ’₯ The Bears are like "I can have it all" and then they get sacked πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ meanwhile, the Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba is over here "can I have ALL 1793 YARDS OF RECEIVING PER GAME, PLEASE?!" πŸ˜‚πŸ‘€
 
πŸ€” The NFL playoffs are heating up, and I gotta say, teams like the Bears have been on a decent run, but there's still room for improvement 🏈. From what I've seen, the Broncos' defense is all about that pass rush life πŸ’ͺ, and it's giving their QBs a tough time. For the Bears, it's essential to learn from them and find ways to disrupt opposing offenses without having a top-tier defensive end like Montez Sweat 😬.

On the other side, teams with efficient QBs like the Patriots' Drake Maye are hard to beat πŸ”₯. The Bears need to focus on building their passing game and get Caleb Williams to master those short passes that can lead to big gains πŸ“ˆ.

It's interesting to see how teams like the Rams have become a destination for top free agents, and I think the Bears could learn from their all-business culture πŸ’Ό. If they can showcase their young talent and attract top players in the offseason, it could give them an edge in the playoffs πŸ†.
 
I think the Bears are like that one friend who's always trying to get out of doing chores - they're making progress, but still need to step up their game πŸ’ͺ🏽. I mean, learning from teams with insane defenses and an efficient QB is a good start 🀯, but can they replicate that in Chicago? Rome Odunze needs to stop getting hurt and show us what he's got πŸ™. And btw, have you seen the Seahawks' receiver stats? 1,793 yards in one season? That's like me eating an entire pizza by myself... no shame πŸ˜‚. Anyway, I think Coach Johnson is on the right track, but they need to get that defense firing on all cylinders πŸ”«.
 
I gotta say, I'm a bit surprised by some of these assessments πŸ€”. The Bears being a tier below teams like the Seahawks and Rams just isn't true - they've made some solid moves under Coach Johnson. And let's be real, the Broncos' pass rush is awesome, but that doesn't necessarily mean other QBs are getting "Mitch Trubisky-esque" πŸ˜‚. I mean, Caleb Williams has still got it going on, even if he's not breaking records like Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Bears need to focus on building a solid O-line and developing their own WR corps, Rome Odunze included 🀞. And as for the Rams' all-business culture, I'm not convinced they're just gonna magically become a championship contender next season...
 
the NFL playoffs are really crazy right now 🀯, i mean you got these teams like seattle and la rams who are on fire πŸ”₯, but the chicago bears are still trying to figure out how to keep up πŸ€”, coach ben johnson is doing a great job leading them but they need to learn from other teams like denver's pass rush squad πŸš€ and new england's efficient quarterback play πŸ“ˆ, especially with calvin williams at the helm πŸ‘¨β€πŸ«, he needs to master the basics of short passes and exploit defenses like seattle does with jaxon smith-njigba 🀝, meanwhile the bears are trying to build momentum by showing off their all-business culture πŸ’Ό, it's gonna be interesting to see how they recruit players this offseason πŸ“ˆ
 
😊 bears are way behind those top teams, but coach ben johnson is doing his thing, trying to turn them around πŸ€”

the broncos' pass rush is crazy, 68 sacks is insane! πŸ‘€ and it's like they're almost unbeatable with their defense πŸ’ͺ that's a tough lesson for the bears to learn without montez sweat πŸ€•

but rome odunze needs to step up his game, if he can't match jaxon smith-njigba's production, it's gonna be tough for them 😬

the rams are on fire, matthew stafford and davante adams are a deadly combo πŸ”₯ and the bears need to show off their culture and talent to attract top players in free agency πŸ“ˆ
 
OMG, can you believe how far the Bears have come?! 🀯 I'm so hyped to see Coach Ben Johnson try to take them to the next level! πŸ˜… Those two teams with crazy defensive pressure are giving me some major league ideas... like, what if they get a top-tier DE for Montez Sweat? πŸ’₯ That would be a total game-changer!

And Caleb Williams needs to work on those short passes, stat! 🚨 I mean, I know he's got that sick playmaking ability, but we need him to step it up and lead the team to victory. πŸ”₯ Rome Odunze is so talented, let's see if he can replicate Jaxon Smith-Njigba's magic on the field!

And, omg, have you seen the Rams' roster? 🀯 It's like a who's who of NFL superstars! Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams are going to make them an unstoppable force... we need to step up our game if we wanna take them down! πŸ’ͺ Bring it on, Bears fans! Let's show the league what we're made of! πŸ”₯
 
idk about these NFL teams... seems like they're trying too hard to prove something πŸ€”. the bears are decent, but not elite yet... i mean, ben johnson's progress is cool and all, but it's just the preseason hype 😐. and what's with this emphasis on the broncos' pass rush? can't they just address that gap in their defense instead of trying to copy the seahawks' wide receiver strategy πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ?

the pats are just resting on their laurels, relying on drake maye's stats to carry them through... newsflash: it's not that deep πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. and what's with all this free agency business? can't the bears just stick to developing their own talent instead of chasing after everyone else's cast-offs πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ?

the seahawks are like the ultimate example of overhyped receivers... jaxon smith-njigba may have had a good season, but he's not that special πŸ’«. and the bears need to focus on their own young signal-caller, caleb williams, instead of comparing him to drake maye πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. i mean, what's the big deal about winning? can't they just enjoy the journey or something? πŸ˜’
 
πŸ»πŸ’‘ bears r doin well under coach ben johnson 🏈, but need 2 learn from teams like denver bronzes & patriots πŸ€”. broncos' pass rush is crazy πŸ”₯, can help bears get more sacks πŸ’ͺ. meanwhile, pats QB drake maye is on fire πŸ”₯, bears QB caleb williams needs 2 master short passes πŸ“š. seahawks have beast receiver jaxon smith-njigba 🀯, but bears rookie rome odunze got hurt πŸ€•. rams are lookin good too πŸ’Ό, bears need 2 show all-business culture & new rep πŸ‘
 
I'm not sure I buy into all this hype about the Bears being on the cusp of greatness πŸ€”. They're still pretty far from that point, if you ask me. The Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a beast on the field πŸ’¨, and the Rams have got some serious firepower with Stafford and Adams. But the Broncos? Their pass rush is legit πŸ”₯ - they've got 68 sacks! That's crazy. I'm not sure how the Bears can replicate that without a top-tier defensive end like Montez Sweat. And let's be real, Caleb Williams still has a lot to learn about throwing short passes πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. The Bears need to figure out who they are as an organization and what sets them apart from other teams in the league πŸ’‘.
 
its funny how teams like the Bears think they can just take cues from other teams and magically become elite overnight πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ...like they're gonna copy the Broncos' pass rush without, you know, having a top-tier DE of their own πŸ˜’...and Rome Odunze needs to be on that list for them to take a page outta Jaxon Smith-Njigba's playbook πŸ‘€
 
I gotta say, the Bears are makin' some great strides under Coach Ben Johnson 🀩! I mean, from terrible to good is no joke, and now they're lookin' to take it to the next level πŸ’ͺ. The thing that really caught my eye is how they can learn from those other four teams in the playoffs. I mean, the Broncos' pass rush is straight fire πŸ”₯, but for a Bears defense without Montez Sweat, they gotta find other ways to disrupt opposing QBs πŸ€”.

And on the other hand, Caleb Williams needs to work on his short passes – that's key to takin' their game to the next level πŸ’‘. Rome Odunze is lookin' like a promising rookie, but he needs to stay healthy and put up some big numbers. And let's be real, if they can showcase their all-business culture and Caleb Williams' talent, they'll be attractin' top free agents in no time πŸ“ˆ!
 
the nfl playoffs are all about defense and offense balance 🏈, i think the bears need to step up their pass rush game, montez sweat's absence is definitely felt πŸ€•. meanwhile, caleb williams is a superstar in waiting but needs to work on his short passing skills πŸ“Š. Rome odunze has to get healthy ASAP or they'll be missing out on big plays downfield πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ. and let's be real, the bears' front office needs to prove itself by locking up kevin byard for years to come πŸ’Έ
 
I think the Bears are on the right track with Coach Ben Johnson, but they gotta step up their pass rush game πŸ˜…. Those 68 sacks by the Broncos is crazy! They can learn a lot from it and try to get Montez Sweat or someone like him to beef up the D-line. And Caleb Williams needs to work on his short passes, dude, he's got the skills but those explosive gains are key to taking them to the next level 🀯. Rome Odunze's production has been roughed up by injuries so far... let's hope he can get that going this offseason πŸ’ͺ.
 
omg u no like wat's up wit these bears tho πŸ€”, i feel 4 dem cuz ben johnson is literally doing a great job w/ dis team, but they need 2 improve deir defense cuz dey r gettin pummeled by dem seahawks & rams, i mean who cant relate 2 bein stuck on defense while ur qb is out ther makin plays like calvin ridder lol πŸ’ͺ. den u got ur pats & broncos w/ deir top-notch pass rush & quarterbacks, so it's def worth learning frm dem. btw i think Rome Odunze has potential, he just needs 2 stay healthy 🀞
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the NFL playoffs work πŸ€”. I mean, I get that teams need to win games and stuff, but it seems like every year there's some huge game where two good teams play each other and one of them wins everything. Like, what even is the point of having a whole season if you're just gonna have one big game at the end?

And btw, have you seen those NFL players' contracts? I mean, I know they're super talented and all, but 68 sacks for the Broncos? That's like, insane πŸ’₯. And the stats from the Patriots QB are crazy too! Like, a 72% completion rate is whoa 😲.

I'm still trying to figure out how to watch NFL games without my dad explaining everything to me πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ. Is it just gonna be on TV or can I download an app or something?
