Lmao Chicago

 

[SLAB]

Lol almost picked again.

I hate that football palace that is SoFi. Why couldn’t the Niners build something nice?

Because the Niners aren’t directly next to the HQ of NFL Media?

and we didn’t have two teams bankrolling the Big Bellbottom

Fair. But why couldn’t it be awesome like Minnesota’s? Or a Death Star like Vegas. Or an innovative modern design like ATL?

Levis just sucks. It’s a sterile boring office building with a football field plopped in the middle of it.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Lions might be the best team in their division at this rate.

 

[SLAB]

The NFC West is unfair.

the two big narratives being pushed this week:
Mac is Tom Brady 2.0
Matt Stafford was secretly the greatest QB in the league except he was on the Lions.

Does Al have a crush on Matt Stanford’s wifor something?

That second one has been going as soon as the trade was made. An elite QB held back by a bad franchise and was going to be UNLOCKED by the genius coach.

Mac at least puts them back on the path they would’ve been on if Tom Brady hadn’t made them dump Jimmy G. Not exactly the most exciting brand of football but probably playoff ball as long as their defense doesn’t suffer too many injuries and their skill players can hold on to the ball.

It's sorta funny with all the other 20 years ago going on right now, just under 20 years ago I was in KC doing a job for my old company (and putting my foot down on travelling again - took a desk job immediately after) when Bledsoe went down and Brady made his first start. It took me more than a full season to believe that Brady was the permanent guy. I'm 100% not expecting Mac to replace Brady but I am also slightly more optimistic after one game and just seeing his command that the team is in good hands. He took some hits and still threw crisp well placed passes and really a few bad penalties and two drive killing fumbles were all that stood between him and his first win. No slight to Jimmy G, but I'm more than ok they moved on and are where they are, and absolutely ecstatic they did not trade back for him.

It’s okay to slight Jim. He’s not great. I’d barely even call him good.

He's better than either of the quarterbacks that beat Brady in superbowls...

Eli Manning or Eli Manning? Did someone else beat him? I take Eli over Jim 100 times out of 100.

 

[Tetsujin]

God, this Bears offense is so depressing.

 

[Tetsujin]

Eli Manning or Eli Manning? Did someone else beat him?

Foles.

 

[SLAB]

Foles.

Okay, Jim’s better than Foles.

 

[Tetsujin]

Andy Dalton dinking and dunking his way to a 23-17 loss.

 

[SLAB]

This feels like an absolute thrashing … yet Chicago’s only down 6.

 

[Tetsujin]

Please play Fields Nagy, I want to enjoy watching football.

Really? I don't think I would. Granted I was sour on Eli the day he came into the league.

 

[SLAB]

Lmao Chicago now it’s a blowout

 

[Tetsujin]

Chicago not even bothering to play good defense now lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Nagy’s Fields package is dollar store Shanny

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol Da Bears are who we thought they were.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fields runs in the TD.

 

[SLAB]

Superior runner to Trey based on that one single play.

Helps that they didn’t have him run directly into his guard’s butt for some reason

 

[Tetsujin]

The Bears apparently have never seen a play action play before.
