Why Do I Just like the Chicago Bears This Week?
I.
At all times.
Like.
THE.
Chicago.
Bears.
Caleb.
The 2024 Chicago Bears now not exist. They’ve ceased to be.
And on account of this truth, I’m not going to be spend a lot time writing a couple of midweek matchup at what I’m positive can be a Seahawk fan-laden Soldier Area.
There is just one cause to really care about tonight’s sport: Caleb’s stat line.
By 16 video games, Caleb is finishing at 62.2%, 3,271 yards, 19 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, and a QB score of 89.3. These are terrific numbers for a rookie QB, however they’re extraordinary numbers when you think about the teaching and offensive line turmoil that has surrounded him this season.
It’s no coincidence that brokers across the sport are starting to leak their shoppers’ curiosity within the Bears job. This can be a teaching gig that comes with a productive, but moldable, younger quarterback.
Aspect be aware: Invoice Simmons, on his podcast with Cousin Sal, referred to Caleb’s manufacturing as “garbage time.” There’s NO rubbish time for a rookie quarterback. Each snap issues. Caleb’s rookie season is without doubt one of the most underrated I can bear in mind.
My Sight & Sound Record
Each decade, Sight & Sound journal polls filmmakers, critics, teachers, and so forth. and compiles an inventory of the best movies ever made. A few of these polled vote for his or her favourite motion pictures. Some polled attempt to make political factors with their listing. Some, like my former professor Dan Streible, use their vote as alternative to attract consideration to noncanonical works. I’ve just lately been doodling what my listing would love – what are the ten movies I think about the perfect ever made? Right here’s what I settled on. Ideas will comply with the listing.
All That Jazz (Bob Fosse, 1979)
The Breaking Level (Michael Curtiz, 1950)
Crimes and Misdemeanors (Woody Allen, 1989)
The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972)
The Godfather: Half II (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974)
Excessive and Low (Akira Kurosawa, 1963)
Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)
Kansas Saloon Smashers (Edwin S. Porter, 1901) Kansas Saloon Smashers (1901) – Carrie Nation | Edwin S. Porter
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (Jacques Demy, 1964)
Ready for Guffman (Christopher Visitor, 1996)
Why do I hate this listing?
No Hitchcock. No Lumet. No Mel Brooks. No feminine filmmakers. I could make an argument for each movie on this listing. I can even make an argument for 100 different movies, like Rear Window and 12 Offended Males and Younger Frankenstein and Cleo from 5 to 7. For now, this listing should do.
Subsequent week, I’ll present an inventory I name “Ten Films it Seems Only I Love.”
Okay, Some Bears Ideas.
Does Ryan Poles need to be fired? I’ve seen the arguments, however I believed this was a roster that may win double-digit video games in 2024. And I nonetheless assume it ought to have been. So, a part of me is torn on the difficulty. However one factor is for certain. If the Bears discover a head coach they love, and that head coach needs his personal personnel man, they need to hearth Poles. Protecting Poles isn’t the tip of the world. Protecting Poles at the price of a desired head coach is inexcusable.
Maybe the strangest factor about 2024 has been the staff’s utilization of Cole Kmet. It is not sensible. Kmet ought to be focused 5-7 occasions EVERY sport. With the expertise on the surface, Kmet ought to be an unimaginable cowl. You desire a cause to focus on Liam Coen as the subsequent head coach? Take a look at what he’s getting out of Cade Otton!
Montez Sweat has one sack since October. Good participant. Not a star. The Bears have wants throughout each of their strains, except for proper sort out.
Sport Prediction
I sat in entrance of my pc a number of moments and tried to consider a cause WHY the Bears would win this sport. I obtained nothing. Seattle continues to be preventing for issues. The Bears have appeared lifeless, particularly on the defensive facet of the ball. This appears like a comfy ten-point win for the Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks 26, Chicago Bears 16
