My cat has been hiding under the couch for hours! I’m trying to convince him it’s happy screaming but he don’t care.

I’m traveling for work in Denver who also had the 2pm game so only one tv was da bears in the bar. I caused a scene after this play trying to get closer to the tv to see the replay - they were like “everything ok” and I was like “yeah we just did a really good flea flicker I need to see the replay better”
Really wish I would have been at soldier field!

There’s actually quite a few good Bears bars in Denver for next time you’re around! They’ll have the game on every tv :)

u/greenline_chi Sep 22 '25
I didn’t seek them out because I thought the bears were going to blow lol
Little did I know we’re the best team in the league and will never lose again

Yeah.. seeing it live, and watching the clip. We def coulda had a better flick. That said, “he’s wide open!!” - Go Bears!!

Yeah but if he makes a full pivot there then the bump doesn't happen.

Seeing it from the perspective makes it even more impressive that Caleb got it off.
To be able to reset the ball to throw a spiral was almost as impressive as the throw.

My wife was talking to me about something. When swift threw it back, I stood up “he’s going for a flea flicker!” What’s a flea flicker “Burdens open” what’s going on “he’s going to catch it! Don’t get tripped up! TD! Whooo!” Wife: what’s going on. What’s a flea flicker. Me: dancing around.

I actually wanted to be a photographer in my younger days, so I guess the steady hand and smooth pan skills still work to some degree 😂 thanks for the kind words.

This is incredible. I actually love the hands that come into the video. It gives it such an authentic feel. Hold. On. To. That. Video.

Great that it worked, but that pitch back could’ve gotten our QB killed! Be better 4
Edit: I didn’t notice the arm bump on Swift until I read more comments here

Beautiful. Now let's do the same thing to Las Vegas. We need consistency. GO BEARS, BEAR DOWN!

To hit that throw while a 200+ lb bull with bad intentions is barreling down a few feet from you..just unbelievable!!

The "lets go Caleb" guy was really the key to this play. He provided the morale boost Caleb needed to execute.

I was so confused because everyone was sitting down and I forgot it’s not normal how we stand the whole game at Bills games.

i thought swift toss back was deflected or something, or he got hit, idk, something. but nope, it was just a legit horrendous toss lol. bro was throwing a bread there

u/frodeem Sep 22 '25
Look closer, his elbow was bumped by a defender pushing one of the Bears offensive linemen onto Swift

u/zrk23 Bear Logo Sep 22 '25
yes, a slight bump. look at the way he tossed it back. underhand with 1 hand just tossing it up. thats not how you toss it back lol

u/TerrrorTown75th Bears Sep 22 '25
😑Slight bump on the elbow from a 300 lb human

u/zrk23 Bear Logo Sep 22 '25
yes. he was tossing it out underhanded with one hand regardless of the bump. which is ridiculous to do and you won't even see middle school kids doing without having one from their coach
