The rebuild has led to this moment. Fields was supposed to be developed by now. He didn't. If there is any QB I would want to come in with this type of pressure, it is Caleb. He seems so unfazed by the spotlight. The team is so bought-in on him too, I love it. Not only is this a must-win, it is a 250+ passing yards and 2tds must for Caleb too. A 10-7 win with 127 passing yards isn't going to cut it.
Pat, I will take the 10-7 Win! I have been watching the sports shows today and most people are coming in with Titans +3.5. I am yelling horrible things at them. They are putting too much on the First Pick in the Draft records. Almost all of those teams sucked! This is different. We will pick them off three times.
It's the most apples to oranges argument I have heard in a long time. Those other 1st pick QB teams were absolute garbage. We have a top 10 roster. Yes, I guess I would take a win over a loss but a convincing win where Caleb shows he's an up and coming star is what I'm hoping for.
For what it's worth I don't think there are many QB's who can lose this game. Fields, Bagent, and Caleb with our current roster should win by double digits.
You can't make this stuff up. Being in the win column was the only thing that stopped me from launching my remote through the TV. Primetime Sunday Night should be a blast!
But this is what bears fans do, we reunite. every. damn. season.
Dear lord, this year is sooo dependent on the coaches. Yes Caleb, but Caleb will only be able to learn as much as his coaches can teach him. Washington, not worried about him. He seems like a stud. Spent a lot of time at Caroline, then rising up through the recent Bills defense. Him + Eberflus on the defensive side should be no worry IMO. Waldron, or as I like to say, Mr Waldon. Biggest wild card of a hire in the NFL? Given the situation, generational rookie talent at QB, best WR group in the NFL, two above average TEs, good RB room. I really dont know what to think about Waldron. McVay tree, yes. He has worked with Goff and Geno Smith as of late. Both who have peaks and valleys, neither anywhere near as talented as Caleb. This stint for Waldron and the bears will be career-defining.
ANNNND EBERFUCK. Oh god. He HAS to have shown Poles something promising, and I mean really promising, to keep him around and I have no reason to not trust Poles. But Eberflus has the best odds to win Coach of the Year (+850, booked btw). uhh he also has worse odds to be First Coach Fired (+750, not booked. But typing this out, should I hedge in case of disaster? No, manifest the good, Mike). But this is proof even vegas has no goddamn idea what to think of this man...Coaching coaching coaching. Lions and Packers both have head coaches that will be around for 5 years (unless Campbell just wants to upgrade is lifestyle), Point stands.
I'll have boots on the ground, reporting live from Solider Field. By reporting live I mean ill be drunk, making noise every time that bears D steps on the field.
I am a little too excited. I hear the Titans are going to be slinging the ball around through the air now without Derrick Henry. Without knowing Levis well, that could turn into multiple pics.
I am interested to see our running game with our 1 and 2 backs. Need to get better each week and not overreact either way.
Everything is in better shape than last year so I agree if it goes south it is coaching.

Half wrong, half right. We did pick them off!
It is great reading these comments on Monday. We got the ugly win, but with even less passing yards -- 93!
Williams was indeed fazed. But that is a conversation for the next newsletter. For now, it's a miracle 1-0 is the result.

Sorry for what I said Tuesday.

P.s. God. Country. Notre Dame.
I heard you on my television on third down when Levis threw the pick.
At least we still have God and Country.

I say 11-6!
