Why Do I Just like the Chicago Bears This Week?
I.
All the time.
Like.
THE.
Chicago.
Bears.
The place is Sam Darnold in 2025?
Darnold’s statistical rankings:
Yards: Sixth.
Touchdowns: T-Third.
Completion share: T-Sixth.
QB Score: Third.
For the lifetime of me, I don’t perceive why the Minnesota Vikings are even contemplating transferring on from a quarterback that’s not solely taking part in exemplary soccer, however he will even solely be 28 years outdated subsequent season. Some guys take time. Some guys want the proper coach, and the proper construction round them. However Darnold has been extra spectacular in 2024 than something we’ve seen from Jordan Love or Trevor Lawrence. Why are the Vikings so prepared to gamble on the place?
Facet observe: Josh Allen could be my MVP, and his efficiency, even in a loss final week, ought to solidify that. However why isn’t Darnold within the dialog?
Who Will Be the Subsequent Bears Coach?
This has been a really busy time for me academically, however I reached out to people across the staff final evening for a listing of names and that checklist is unsurprising (to say the least). Here’s what I used to be advised.
Is Kevin Warren making this rent? No. Is he going to be the one who stamps Ryan Poles’ selection? That appears extra probably than not. Is {that a} good factor? No.
Ben Johnson’s individuals have made it clear to the Bears that he’s . However the technique of communication with Johnson shall be sophisticated by the (anticipated) deep playoff run for the Lions. Would the Bears be okay ready for Johnson until after a Tremendous Bowl? “Yes,” I used to be advised, unequivocally, if he’s the man.
Everybody appears so down on the notion of a defensive head coach. However citing the coaches “to win the last X Super Bowls” is a really foolish metric. The NFL is cyclical. Would you really need Joe Brady or Todd Munken over Mike Vrabel or Brian Flores? I do know I wouldn’t, and I don’t suppose the Bears will both.
Invoice Belichick being the North Carolina coach is wild to me. However what? They’re now should see tv for me in September.
I’ve been tweeted the identify Dan Lanning by a number of people, however I used to be advised the Bears aren’t going to take a shot on a university coach with zero skilled expertise. That additionally contains Lincoln Riley.
If there’s any coach the Bears ought to NOT be contemplating, it’s Kliff Kingsbury.
Facet observe: We’ll be doing the DBB pledge NEXT WEEK, to get that enterprise out of the best way earlier than the top of the season, permitting me to focus on the teaching search.
Sport Prediction
The Vikings are good and suppose they’re going to make noise within the event. They usually’re dwelling, with the whole lot to play for, in entrance of an impressed crowd.
The Bears are only a dangerous soccer staff now, on the highway, with nothing to play for.
I feel this sport is over by halftime.
Minnesota Vikings 33, Chicago Bears 20
