Man, if Fields puts it together, the Bears could make a killing trading both the first and the second pick in the draft to QB-needy teams.
I think it would be crazy to not take Caleb but if Fields plays like this, someone will give them a nice return. Imagine an offense where Caleb is throwing to DJ and Marvin Harrison Jr. That tortured fan base will have no idea what’s going on.

If Fields keep playing like this, the Bears will not be picking 1 and 2.

For sure. Especially when you look at the history of Bears QBs and receivers, which is really grim.

So once a year, in October, the Bears play a national TV night game and look like a title contender. Got it.

I don't get that reference, but no.
Apologies. He is one of the hosts of Pardon My Take and a well known Bears fan. And I doubt he has Fields on his fantasy team or would start two Bears after their start. But clearly there are Bears fans that have a lot of faith.

I have a feeling Rivera showed up at the facility today and didn’t know there was a game.

“Eric, can I see you in the hall?”

sure, sure

“what’s going on, man, people are acting weird for a Thursday”

We got a game coach

“WE GOT A GAME?!?!?!”

No worries.

The Bears fan in my league had a choice of Brock Purdy against the Cowboys or Fields in this game, and went with Fields. So clearly he believes.

Jesus, that guy fucked up his own leg and it looked bad. Hope it isn’t as bad as it looked.

I thought suplexes like that were roughing
Suplex is when you send the dude flying over your shoulder like Brock Lesnar does. Holding on to the ball carrier and driving him to the ground (but without landing on him with your full body weight) is textbook. That wasn’t a bad hit, except that Fields hit the ground head first. A little surprised the spotter didn’t require him to step off the field for evaluation.

This would be a great moment to flatter WAS with a $100 wager to win outright. Assuming it's still better than 7-1 at the moment.

Only +450 on MGM, surprisingly.

The gambling community respects the Bears’ ability to blow this.
