Fields returns to Ohio as the Bears visit Cleveland and Joe Flacco on Sunday at noon. Cleveland is 6-1 at home and 8-5 overall but only +17 on the season with 3 huge blowout wins and a whole bunch of 1-3 point wins. And they also got spanked by the Broncos, Rams and Ravens while splitting the season series with the mediocre Steelers. This is a good team, but nothing special. The defense is stout, leading the league in yards/game by 20 (and the Bears by 50). The bears don’t gain a whole lot of yards either, but they are basically even with Cleveland’s offense. the difference in this game should be the Bears defense. A mediocre effort has been turned around, the additions by Poles have begun to payoff and might actually save Eberflus’s job. They can’t finish over .500 without running the table, and a win in this game doubles up last seasons win total. As for the question, relax, it’s a meme. Ask your kids about it. No, he’s not elite. He hasn’t even hit 2,000 yards passing yet this season. (He’s thrown for half as many as Stroud) and sits more than a thousand yards below Derek Carr, Jordan Love, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. He is a special talent you can win with in the short term and better than a bunch of garbage guys currently playing in the league of attrition. Anyway, this is a winnable game if Fields wants to remain an NFL starting Qb. The bears are 3 point dogs, and probably would be 8+ if they hadn’t turned a corner following the Chargers debacle. People realize this team is dangerous and capable. But the Lions are the only truly good team they’ve beaten under Eberflus, depending on how you feel about a Trey Lance led 49ers team in a monsoon. The Lions game is being called a “signature win”, but a victory in Cleveland might throw a whole bunch of analysis out the window.

How am I supposed to drink now? oh wait, I’ve got it now

“In a new country” can’t have much meaning for a guy already coming from another continent when that “new country” is basically upstate New York.

It will be traded mid season

More relevant to the discussion is neither of those QBs are playing for the team that drafted them. One of them worked out well but always came up short. The other was a bust for his team.

My column:

That’s a bad review

I think they will be taking a qb anyway so it doesn’t matter. But if they were going to take him at the top, then I think the odds increase that they trade out. The big money is in the 2nd contract so a player is best off starting his rookie clock sooner. Harrison probably isnt hurting for money, but guys want to be the top of the NFL.

I can’t imagine he’s hof material his biggest claim is probably that the double doink happened to somebody else

That’s because you are afraid of the cage

We didn’t need to know about the shower

He’s citing another awful draft pick

People talking themselves into the Hoskins as biggest free agent signing is actually okay storyline is funny.

I guess, but I might prefer keeping the swing tackle and letting another team give him money in free agency.

I concur. It would be nice to make some part of this offense excellent, rather than just being satisfied with adequate production. The line is as good a spot as any, especially if you can’t make the WR top of the charts.

What does it refer to?

I concur. I get why people cheer for losses in a tank situation, when your draft status is all you have and your losses directly affect your best option to improve next year. But when you already have another teams 1st rounder and that pick is essentially a lock for too 3, if you are still rooting for your team to lose you have problems.

Although they are currently 1 and 5, the projections show them 1 and 8. It’s possible their own pick drops out of top 10.

First shootout of season results in first shootout loss. Bedard scored in the shootout but not the game.

Thumbs up to the thread and the player

looks like lions -3

Curious how many QBs currently in playoff position were drafted top 10 by their current team. I don’t have Sunday ticket anymore and don’t follow many others much, but it feels like 90% of teams in good qb situation took like the 4th guy off the board. Trevor Lawrence seems like the obvious exception, and he went to a situation where they loaded up his skill players, rather than trading up. Herbert was top ten, right? And he’s a guy whose team regularly lets him down.

That’s a little unfair reporting. They are slated to play the Texans this week, one of the youngest teams in the league. He’d prefer to play against a more seasoned group

This win probability chart is amazing. I’m sure this happens all the time in the cesspool that is college football. But in a conference championship game? Just mesmerizing
