Speaking of which, counter to the general move of stadiums back towards city centers, the Bears are going to build their new stadium in suburban Arlington Park. To me it seems very wrong to move the Bears stadium out of downtown Chicago.

Actually replays are on a different streaming service...

On the other hand I'm blown away by his talent. He's a rookie, possibly playing in a bad system.

How many QBs in the NFL can make that play? Followed by that one.

For Seahawks fans this must seem like a slow motion train wreck with the Bears driving as it ticks down to the 2 minute warning. For the record, the Seahawks are minus 4.5 in this game.

Wayne Gretzky said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Joe Montana said "If you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying." It's really quite a battle of the wills... neither side wants to back down. Who will be the first to blink?

I believe he's a graduate of the Rob Johnson Quarterback Academy in Mission Viejo. Are you the Negan that got into it with Spencer that @4merper4mer was talking about?

You have to trust the process in order to understand. Is there a scenario where it would actually make sense to punt on a down other than 4th down? I'm asking because I don't actually want to do the mental gymnastics. If I stop watching at 2:45 does that change anything? Shhhhh... would you keep it down please? It was in 1999 when TiVo was first rolled out... we live in great times...

Pursuant to nothing but are you familiar with the phenomenon known as "Contagious Crying?" There is something about having a ridiculously talented rookie QB which is helpful when your team sucks.

The field looks better than anything else tonight. I can't believe how well it's held up... so I found this: https://www.soldierfield.com/stadium-info/about#:~:text=The playing field at Soldier,for both football and soccer. "The playing field at Soldier Field is a natural grass field (Kentucky blue-grass and rye blend). The field is resodded multiple times per year with consultation from the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Fire as it is the preferred surface for both football and soccer. Nine inches below the root zone, more than 20 miles of ¾-inch plastic tubing circulates warm water and glycol (to prevent freezing), in a radiant heating system that extends the grass’ growing season. It also helps melt snow and keep the ground from freezing, so the surface remains pliable." I wonder if this will be what we're installing in the new stadium.

Nothing specific, he's just made a few youthful errors. Joe Flacco, Jameis Winston, and Geno Smith walk into a bar...

Word for word?

That said, Caleb's talent jumps off the screen and they have some really nice skill players with DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome, and Swift so they have the ability to flash offensively. Yep. The Seattle HC is very youthful but I loved how he answered the question. He was already practicing the lines he was gonna say in the locker room. And his agents have been rattling sabres about a new contract. Geno is like Jameis Light... alternating big plays with bad plays.

It's raining really hard... and it's the day after Christmas...

Just think of it as a comedy...

Don't judge me...

I missed it... I was trying to think of something clever to type.

He's the "stack" in "stack and shed." But it's true... also it's not the plays he makes but the ones he takes away. From what I understand it's like some sort of Jedi mind trick or something like that.

Well, Geno felt the pressure but chose not to do anything about it.

True. His age is about the same as his 40 time which is pretty impressive.

It's Geno's 12th season and they feel they need to protect him. No. Not until May 2nd.

The Bears are kind of like the Jets of the NFC.

Youthful jitters. How many current NFL Head Coaches are named Mike McDonald?

From what people here are saying, his act isn't playing too well in Chicago.

In theory. On the other hand many were expecting excellent games yesterday and both of them were disappointing to say the least. You never know what you're gonna get. I agree. Give him time.
