Best part about the Bears defensive line playing so well, if they can keep it up, is being able to use the first round pick on the offensive line without hesitation.

A bum slaying game is good for the Bears fans soul. Love seeing Williams and Moore get on track. Love seeing the RBs more involved. Love to see the Bears not playing down to their competition.

Love to see Love throw Will Levis esque pick sixes.
 
Looks like the Bears are opening as 1 point favorites for next week.

I’ll be disappointed if they don’t win, but I don’t think this game is a gimme by any stretch.
 
Although the Lions had a bye, the Bears are tied for 2nd in wins among division teams.

Aaron Rodgers. He's a compiler, not a HoFer, because he's only won one conference title. Except for one season, he always chokes in the conference playoffs in his 20 year career.

He's also Deshaun Watson horrible this season and the Jets will not make the playoffs, because they won't bench him.
 
This is my first time watching Fields since the trade. I think he can carve out a career but he's still the same guy for now. Give him easy reads that win and he's pretty serviceable. Make him work before the snap or go through more than his first look and it gets a little ugly. Dallas is getting no pressure to speak of with their best pass rushers out and Justin still doesn't look comfortable in the pocket. You can blame the Bears for that to an extent to be fair.
 
I have no idea how McCarthy still has his job. Ridiculously undisciplined team.

Pitt possibly going to 4-1. Averaging 17 points a game. Nice story but that won’t sustain. Won’t do anything in the post season averaging 17 points a game.
 
Cowboys gonna win. Crazy.

Pitt has been a nice little story but now lose 2 in a row. Can’t consistently win in the nfl averaging 17 points a game.
 
Bears were up 14-7 when they turned the ball over on downs at almost midfield with 4:20 left in the half. You'd expect them to be tied or only up 14-10 at half. Nope. Dee forces a turnover and the offense capitalizes for a TD. Dee forces a TOD with only 55 seconds left. Another Bears TD before the half. 27-7

This is not the Bears team I grew up chewing my nails to.

All NFL players are compilers. But I do agree Rodgers is one of the more overrated players in recent memory. Against the Bears, he's a god, against everybody else he's a good QB.

Gave me PTSD from watching CW run an offense, manipulate the defense, and have a great game throwing the ball to watching Fields being the same old Fields. Speaking of, his WR1 doesn't seem to be too happy with him either. :laugh:

He is what he is. He still struggles to see the field, make the quick reads, and throwing over the middle. I honestly think the Steelers are optimizing him for the short term by running him a lot, including QB power runs. He's the best athlete on the field most times he steps on it, and the Steelers are leaning into that.

I just don't think what I view as Fields's optimal usage is conducive to a long career. But you can do a lot worse than being an average QB in the NFL for a short career until injuries catch up or your legs slow down.

I thought the same thing last week when they had a drive up 24-18 with a few minutes left. How many times the last... many years have we seen them go 3 and out (or turn it over) and give the opponent a prime opportunity to go down and win it? Last week, they bled a lot of clock and then punted the ball to inside the 10 with less than a minute to go, against no time outs.

PFF has Gervon Dexter at 5 sacks, one more than his official number. Here is a list of interior D-linemen with as many or more sacks so far this season:

[Dexter Lawrence]

Yeah, he's doing pretty well so far.

I really don’t need Bill B. on the manning cast. He’s smart but not enjoyable at all.
 
Brisker apparently didn't travel with the team to London due to concussion sypmtoms. Unclear if they just want to give him a couple of days before a long flight or if he's out for the game but hopefully they don't risk it if there's any doubt
 
Anyone happen to have a PFF subscription to know where Brisker ranks among cornerbacks I mean safeties?

That would be a big loss if he can't get ready to make the trip in time.
