73 yo guy, 24 yo woman. I guess she has million$ of rea$on$ to be with him.

Head coaching vacancy with the Jets - wonder if they'll reach out to him.

Re: QBR disconnect

Not too worried about stats. In the grand scheme, it will come down to how many wins he engineers, even more than yards, % completions, YPA, etc. I'll take even ugly wins.

Jags came alive last week but the Bears are starting to click on all cylinders:

Re: Week 5 // Bears (2-2) vs Panthers (1-3)

Another good sign: the team was bringing up the rear for explosive plays (those over 20 yards) with 6 each passing and running. 5 such plays in the game. Also, Caleb was dead last in long passes (3:of 22 attempts) but as a perfect 3of 3 Sunday.

Re: FBR: Fields struggling in shorts

Saw a lot if the Sunday night game against Dallas. He isn't being out into situations in which he'll lose the game. Only passed for 135 yards, no turnovers, had them in it until Dallas pulled it out at the end. I think Pitt has found their QB and will add to his responsibilities over time.

Re: What's your Panic-o-Meter at?

Down to 3. Playing a lot more solid on the offensive side, the defense is still humming. I'm going to assume that it took the first quarter of the season for the team to shake out offensive issues such as timing, schemes etc. Of course, it helps when the Bears have several of the weekest teams in th...

Re: Week 5 // Bears (2-2) vs Panthers (1-3)

A victory over a team they had to beat but it looks and feels great. Hammered a poor team into the ground - check. No easing up with a big lead - check. Scored more than the 27 or 28 a good offensive team needs to do - check. Started strong - check. Waldron offense looking like it's working - check....

Re: Single most important factor for a winning franchise

Ownership dedicated to winning and to stay out of football decisions except signing checks. It all flows downhill from that. We see the effects of a Jerry Jones/Tepper in Carolina when the owner starts dictating player personnel.

Re: Week 5 // Bears (2-2) vs Panthers (1-3)

The Bears add value to that 2025 2nd round pick they have from Carolina by putting on the big hurt. Carolina mgmt and coaching break out in tears at the job done by Caleb, D.J., Stephenson, et. al. while Bryce Young molders on the bench.

Bears: 31
