If he's healthy he plays......

It's been almost a year since their last win.

There's honestly too much bad to remember.

I knew that it was a rough patch, but this I did not know:
Bears end longest skid in franchise history: 'Long time coming'

Plenty of discussion about the team effort - defense, rushing, Fields, DJ Moore.

... It has been a while since Chicago had this much offense generated by one player. Moore became the first Bears player with 200 yards and three touchdowns from scrimmage in game since Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton in 1979 ...

You know that you had a bad game when one of your owners calls you out in public, and that owner is the perpetually positive Magic:



Ouch.

... "We got our ass kicked," Washington defensive tackle Jonathan Allen said.

Washington coach Ron Rivera said he couldn't repeat his postgame message to the players but that in short he told them, "That's not good enough." ...

Wow, yet another strip sack of Trevor Lawrence deep in Bills territory to start the 4th quarter. Still 7-11.

The Panthers white jersey black pants combo continues to be a mistake.

Brock Purdy is real.

Standing by that one.

The only thing we don't know he can do is lead a game winning drive with time running out.

They're never behind.

Fwiw, Dak Prescott

SF has a solid defense, too.

So what happened to Bill Belichick?

Did he suddenly get stupid?

Twenty years of smoke and mirrors?

All Brady?

His girlfriend breakup rattle his brain?

, but there's a strong case for All Brady (and Bledsoe and Gronk).



There's also the cheating, though he probably still tries. Maybe other teams are wise to it.

GO Broncos (1-4) > @KC (4-1, -10.5). As if.

8-19 Vegas is spot-on again, millions of bettors rooting for or against that otherwise meaningless KC 52 Yd Field Goal with 1:59 left. Mr Swift 9 catches 124 yards, best in the game.

Panthers vs @Dolphins (-14.0 )
14-0 into the 2nd. I was beginning to wonder who the team in blue is and what they'd done with the Cats. Then, they reappeared, 14-21 at the half. 21-42 final, back to normal.

That only took a week. 17-19, 1:40 left, 1st & 10 at SF 25 Mission accomplished . . . OPPS. Purdy should have kicked the damn 41 yard field goal himself Bad enough losing a first game, but to the Browns???!!!

Commanders > @Falcons (-1.5). 24-16. Sorry not sorry, O Really.

@Bears > Vikings (-3.0). GOGoCubsGoGO! 13-19 ugh.

4-4, 4-5 with Thursday's game. That's my final wish tally for the week

[GoCubsGo]

For some reason I've got Bucs-Lions instead of the "game of the week" Iggles-Jets.

Fields left the game after he hurt his hand (apparently not serious), it was only a matter of time until he hurt something.

Personally, I'm ready to see an undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent start. He does some things well and seems to be able to run the offense better than Fields.

But your Bears might do worse. Oh wait . . .

Michael Kosta, Tuesday night on The Daily Show, paraphrased: Hey, it's my second night hosting. This means I've lasted longer in New York than Aaron Rodgers did.


What else lasted longer than Aaron Rodgers Jets Career?



My fantasy as Rodgers goes out of his way to piss more people off -
Kaaron - Hey guys, I'm ready to play.
Jets - Nah, we're good.
