Sam Darnold is playing with incredible maturity and focusing on wins over stats

I watched him throw the ball away. Here is a guy that has grown in maturity, that has used all that kind of pain and frustration... to his advantage.

Mark Fletcher will be one of the best running backs in college football next year

Ben Johnson must be more aggressive in the playoffs for the Bears to succeed

The Bears' defense is a major liability for a deep playoff run

The Bears' 2025 season is an incredible success regardless of the playoff outcome

If we're talking about 2025, incredible success. If you said that the Bears would end up with 11 wins and winning the NFC North, they'd be like, 'sign me the fuck up. How'd that happen?' Caleb [Williams] looks so much better in year two. And Ben Johnson is a dude.

Philip Rivers' game-ending interception against the Seahawks should not be counted against his performance

Kamari Lassiter, Jalen Pitre, or Aziz Al-Shaair are the guys who set the physical tone for the Texans defense
