I just looked at the Bears' schedule.  Will they win 5 games?

TAMU, Knower of Ball

This is a great day for scoop. Packer fans get a win.  Beat fans get a great result  ;D

The level of Chicago sports, both pro and college, is cataclysmicly awful and a total embarrassment.

I hadn't thought of that, but wow that is true Muggsy.  The Cubs are it right now. Although I guess Blackhawks may have a franchise changing player as the no 1 overall this year. But it's pretty grim.

is it any worse than New York?

Fields was fine in the first half. Nothing earth shattering but made good throws and good decisions. His QB rating was like 115-120 when I looked just after half.  But the offensive game plan was anemic.  He started to force a lot in the second, which is stupid, and that interception was horrible.

I don't think the offensive game plan is purely what is holding Fields back, but it's certainly not putting him in a position to succeed.  The O Line is college level at best

Did their line have injuries coming in to today?

Man, are the Giants this bad, or is Dallas that good?

Daniel Jones is making Fields look like a franchise player.

Delighted to see Raiders over Broncos. Always nice to see Sean Payton on the losing end of things .

Here's the list of serviceable QB's the Chicago Bears have had in their entire history:
Sid Luckman
Jim McMahon. 

Think about that for a moment.  And what purpose does Getsy serve?

Jay Cutler had his warts, but it's nuts to suggest he wasn't a serviceable NFL quarterback.

The only thing I can say is average teams don't loose 40-0 even against great teams.

Rams win.

Chargers lose.

All is well in SoCal.

Maybe only be interesting to me and Dish, but road dogs went 7-4 straight up and 9-2 ATS this weekend.

Serviceable until the gane mattered.  The guy had talent but nothing between the ears Pakuni.  It's astonishing how bad the QB's have been for this franchise.

Sean Payton was praised for being bold and brilliant when he decided to start the second half of the Saints' 2010 Super Bowl appearance with an onside kick. New Orleans recovered, scored, and went on to win.

So what the heck ... he opened his Broncos coaching career with an onside kick. But the Broncos didn't recover, and the Raiders used the short field to take a quick 7-0 lead in a game that would go on to be decided by 1 point.

It's only bold and brilliant when it works.

Talk on Chicago radio (maybe wishful thinking?) that Claypool may get cut. I didn't see the game but the assessment was he was unprofessional and embarrassing on the field. Can anyone give me color on his play, or lack there of?

Greg Olsen, the Fox analyst, twice criticized Claypool for being unwilling to block on quick-hitters to fellow receivers. Indeed, not only didn't Claypool block, he actually got in his teammates' way, and the GB defense blew up the plays.

Can you cut a guy less than a year after you essentially gave up a first-round pick for him?
I think you should, if you really believe he's that much of a detriment. If you're going to fail, fail fast. But not many NFL GMs have egos that would allow them to s quickly admit such a big mistake.

Doesn't help that the Packers defense did not have to worry about a throw more than 5 yards down field.  Easy to defend bubble screens when that's all you have to worry about.

C'mon. Fields threw 3 passes that traveled more than 10 yards downfield.  ;D

The power of the NFL:

If there was a pressure point for a short-term end to The Walt Disney Company and Charter Communications dispute, it was tonight's high-profile "Monday Night Football" opener between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. That's a significant game on the sports calendar given the New York debut of Aaron Rodgers, featuring two Spectrum market teams.
