The Bears should take a year off from football

I'd be cool if the Bears just not playing football anymore. Just implode the team. Stop the count. No, I want them to exist, but maybe take one year off.

The Bears did not, in fact, take a year off from football.

The Bears looked like a more competent offense with Mitchell Trubisky compared to Nick Foles

They looked like a competenter offense. I don't want to say competent, but they, I don't know, there's something about Mitch. I think maybe it's just the fact that he looks alive when he plays quarterback. Whereas Nick Foles, when he's back there, sometimes he just looks like a corpse. So they appear to be slightly better.

Subjective comparison of two struggling quarterbacks in a losing season.

The NFL should stop putting the Bears in primetime

I think I speak for America when I say the Bears playing in one of the primetime slots needs to end. Next year when the schedule comes out, you give us that fucking one Thursday game early in the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars rule, give us that Thursday game, and then be done with it. No more Bears in primetime.

The NFL continued to put the Chicago Bears in primetime games in 2021 due to their large market size.

I would bet against the Colts in the playoffs because they are the quintessential 'everything has to be perfect' team

Remind me to please bet against the Colts in the playoffs. Because they are the quintessential everything-has-to-be-perfect team. They have to play from a lead. They have to protect Phillip Rivers. They've got to be able to run the ball, which they weren't able to do pretty much any of those things today.

The Colts lost in the Wild Card round to the Buffalo Bills, 27-24.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
