The best thing about today's Bears game.



She got a good one.

Maybe Travis will get the rest of the game off so they can enjoy a nice dinner together.

[O Really]

Nice weekend for sports.
Seahawks win, Dolphins absolutely clobbered Wilson's Broncos, BC Lions won Friday, the team formerly known as "Skins were commanded to skulk away in shame, Taylor Swift looked cute being a Chiefs fan (sorry about Da Bears), and the Cowboys were bucked off their high horse.

It's too early in the season for me to worry about division opponents. Go football.
Jordan Love - First home opener starting QB other than Favre or Rodgers since 1992!
My caused this - Packers down 17-0 in the 4th, scored 18-0, Saints missed a 46 yd FG with 1 minute left. Wow, 17-18. Streak of 11 straight home opener wins.

We didn't get the game here - did Denver even put a defense on the field?

No.

Miami Dolphins score 70 points vs. Broncos in record day

Dolphins running back De'Von Achane had a few text messages to answer after Sunday's 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos. Actually, it was closer to 100, the rookie clarified.

In the first prominent role of his career, the third-round pick compiled 233 total yards and four touchdowns, including 203 rushing yards on 18 carries....

In one of the most lopsided games in NFL history, the Dolphins put up 726 yards as the league's best offense went berserk in its home opener. The point total marked a new franchise record and the most points any NFL team has scored since Washington scored 72 against the New York Giants in 1966.

In total, the Dolphins recorded nearly as many rushing yards (350) as passing yards (376), averaging 10.2 yards per play in the process.

The Dolphins are the first team in NFL history to record five passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns in the same game, and the second team in history to record more than 700 yards of offense since the Rams did so in 1951. They are also the first team in history to score 70 points with 700 yards of offense, and the second to record 300 rushing yards and 300 passing yards ...

In total, the Dolphins recorded nearly as many rushing yards (350) as passing yards (376), averaging 10.2 yards per play in the process.

... Facing fourth-and-14 with 33 seconds remaining, Miami had an opportunity to break the single-game scoring record as the remaining home crowd chanted for "three more points!"

Instead, McDaniel called for backup quarterback Mike White to kneel the ball from the Broncos' 28-yard line. The crowd loudly groaned, but McDaniel stuck with his decision.

"It felt like chasing points and chasing a record, that's not what we came to the game to do," he said. "That doesn't have a bearing on the overall season outcome and I just didn't -- I saw it as 10 times out of 10 you kneel down in those situations because there was an attainable record that was cool, but the message that I thought it would send wasn't really in line with how I view things.

"It would've been cool, but with what we're trying to do, I think that would be talking out of both sides of my mouth. If we went and tried to send the field goal team on and squeeze an extra three, it's not really what I'm about."

Classy.

... Running back Raheem Mostert finished with 142 total yards and four combined touchdowns, pushing his league-leading season total to six rushing touchdowns through three games, already surpassing his 2022 total (three). Mostert is on pace for 1,360 yards and 34 touchdowns, which would shatter the career highs of 891 and eight he set in 2022 and 2019, respectively.

He and Achane are the first pair of teammates ever to each score four touchdowns from scrimmage in the same game....

Miami, which has started 3-0 in back-to-back seasons under McDaniel, takes its undefeated record into Buffalo in Week 4 for an AFC East showdown with the Bills (2-1).

Go football.

Miami is the only undefeated team in the AFC.

It's also the worst thing about the Bears game - the loss was predicted, but Traylor made it historic. Opps.

Aaron Rodgers is done, so here's who the New York Jets could turn to at QB
Gang Green may turn to the free-agent scrapheap to start over or backup Zach Wilson

There's discussion for each option.


Colin Kaepernick

He's been out of the league six years and is thirty five years old

Does any serious football person think he can play, especially without a training camp?

Colin Kaepernick Letter: What We Know About the QB's Offer to the Jets (full transcript)

Practice squad. Why not? The merch sales alone would make it a winner for the Jets.

Yeah, no can of worms at all with that move.

A "can of worms" would be an improvement in Jets PR. All they've got now is bad press and recriminations.

I might get on the Lions bandwagon this year. They and especially their fans deserve a winner.

I've always liked the Lions, but I also used to like the communist-owned Packers pre-Kaaron and pre-Bears solidarity with you. Plus, part of me wants GB to do well without Kaaron (Jets, too).

BC Lions added Kaepernick to the "negotiation list" which doesn't mean they'll take him (or that he'll take them) but they could. Lions are 10-4 and tied for first in the West division. I'd like to see him getting a chance and especially like to see him do well.
