Seattle is 6-3 and up 1.5 games in the NFC West after losing their starting RB and trotting out Geno Smith at QB. O/U on wins coming into the season was 5.5. Give Pete Carroll COY already.

17/28 for 123YDS. Getting better but not a 'dude'.  Top 18-23 QB maybe.

Why comment if you didn't actually watch the game?  He's looked like a completely different player the last 4 games and Getsy has done an outstanding job since the mini-bye.

My vote is for Robert Saleh. All around good dude as well.

The best thing to happen to the Bears was to lose that game today while Fields looked great. I'd be fine with that recipe the rest of the season. Stay in the top ten of the draft, hope to find a way to finish last in the North somehow to get a 4th place schedule for 2023.

That's funny. My son, a big Bears fan, said almost the exact same to me in a text message about a half-hour after the game.

At least Davante is having success.

2-6

Any team that hired Josh McDaniels deserves this.

COY is going to be a really interesting award this year. I have a lot of preseason Sirianni futures at 18-1, so outside of my financial bias, there's strong cases for Carroll, Vrabel, Saleh and Dabol.

I really thought the Seahawks were going to be total garbage, what they're doing is remarkable (I would vote for Carroll).

Unrelated, unless he gets hurt, Tyreek is going to obliterate 2,000 receiving yards in 16 games. He's still plus money to win OPY (+250).

Right?!?

I guess Bears fans can at least take comfort in the fact that they managed the roster and salary cap to be there.

Still think they won't win another game?

He's not there yet, but the last three weeks especially, one can see it happening. He's arguably the main reason the Bears were in that game today.

Dish

I wasn't a Fields fan, thought he wasn't an accurate enough passer and was too slow with his decision making. But he has size, strength and athletic ability that's off the charts. And he's making strides on his weaknesses. Hope to eat major crow for the next several years.

While possible, I think you are right. Looking at the schedule I think 4-13 is most likely. My crystal ball was not so good.

Nobody saw the 49ers & Pats wins.

The Bears coaches deserve a lot of credit if they get this team to 4 wins.

Pasqualoni fired as the Carolina defensive coordinator.   Not actually interesting in and of itself, except for the question it creates.   Why, in the name of all that is good and holy, would any team ever hire a Quinn/Patricia assistant?

Frank Reich was just fired.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, I don't believe the league turning over 25-30% of it's coaches every offseason is good for the sport. There are some coaches who are clearly out of their depth (see Matt Rhule) that need to go. However, this is the type of firing I'm talking about.

Reich is going to make an awesome O-Coordinator/QB specialist for some team next year.  I'm thinking someone like the Steelers or Jets bring him in.

I think it is very possible he gets another HC job in 2023. Especially, if you have 8 or more openings again this year.

He was the DL coach.  But, outside of a good run as Syracuse head coach in the Donovan McNabb era, he has had a series of jobs where he lasts one or two years and I can't think of any instance where any of the teams he worked for were actually any good! Seriously, look at this! Do coaches hire him hoping that they get fired or something?

They've fired everyone else so it was either him or Stan from Terre Haute.

I like Saleh, that's who i wanted the Lions to hire but in classic Lions fashion they took too long. With Carroll, the impression was this was a tanking year to get Bryce Young or CJ Stroud. Until his injury Drew Lock was going to start at QB.

The Jets are building, they need Wilson to be more consistent. Losing Hall at RB hurt, he was going to be the OROY. But that was a hell of a coahing jib yesterday

The obvious answer to a GM who can't find a QB, but invests about $44 million in cap space on a center, guard and right tackle.

I think it says a lot that he was a successful D3 coach, then had a pretty nice tenure at Cuse that didn't end all that poorly...yet he still couldn't get another HC job until that terrible UCONN gig 8 years later.

I didn't realize both John Fox & Gus Bradley are on the Colts staff.

Say what you will about Twitter (I know there's a thread on it), I honestly thought it was a Schefter parody account when I saw the tweet half an hour ago.

this is how you tank for a top 5 pick as they're only one game out of fifth right now.

Yep. Jonathon Taylor will nurse that ankle injury the rest of the year.
