London Calling: The Fun Begins in 2 Weeks
Bears 35, Jaguars 16
The Bears looked great—of course they did! Jacksonville sucks, and let's be real, Doug Pederson should be fired on the flight home after that performance.
The running game with Roshon Johnson and D'Andre Swift was fantastic because they ran straight and not that Madden "off-tackle" bullshit. And holy shit, it's amazing when you actually use a tight end in a football game! Cole Kmet had a great game, and the O-line really came through. Caleb Williams played his best game as a Bear so far, but I'll admit, every time he takes off running, I get that pit in my stomach. You know those defensive guys want to fucking kill him!
But here's the thing: I told you this last post—the fun really begins in just two weeks. The schedule ahead isn't looking so hot. We've got games against Randall Cunningham (I mean Jayden Daniels) and the Washington Commanders. And don't forget the Patriots, who are shitting the bed to get draft picks to build an O-line for Drake Maye. Then there are six division games, plus Seattle and the 49ers lurking at the end of the season.
So, this is the BIG TEST. We're going to find out just how good Eberlose really is. Once again, look it up! So far, he's only beaten one elite team (the Niners) and two division opponents (hello, Minnesota twice).
And let's talk about that clown GM who built this roster. Remember my earlier post? GM/President 101: you build your team to win the division—not miss on draft picks and not whore yourself out for a new stadium for a sub-par team.
If you want to be a serious team, you have to beat your division, and the Bears haven't done that for years! Still not convinced? In the last 30 years, the Bears have only beaten the Packers 13 times. Thirteen! That's fucking crazy! Beat the Packers 15 times in a row, win the Super Bowl, and the city will probably build you a Taj Mahal with a fucking Star Trek transporter to cut commuter times.
And Kevin Warren, what the hell are you doing trying to pump for a new stadium in London? Do the people over there really give a shit? No! They've got their own horseshit to deal with.
Why don't you do what real team presidents do and focus on putting together a championship team? Stop looking for a place to shove a $5 shovel into the ground for a stadium that taxpayers don't want to pay for. Put a winning product on the field first (think Colts, Eagles, Patriots), and maybe, just maybe, you'll get that stadium.
And let's hope the McCaskeys sell the team by then and bring in a real owner who actually gives a shit about the team, fans, and the city. How about a new owner with new blood who'll hire a competent President, GM, Head Coach, and Scouting Staff and then get the hell out of their way?
Remember ten years ago when the Chiefs were in a dumpster fire? Look how that turned out. The Lions were once the “Guantanamo Bay of the NFL”—where Hall of Fame players went to die—but in just a few years, they're beating everyone's brains in. Did you watch the Cowboys game today?
I love the Bears, but talking to some of my crew at the bar, I hear people saying, "It's okay now because it's not a playoff year. We'll figure it out." But you don't get it! If you miss on draft picks like this clown, it takes even longer to develop great players. If you can't draft players to beat your division opponents and elite teams now, what makes you think it's going to fucking happen next year? You know, everyone laughed at Andy Reid when he drafted Mahomes or when Dan Campbell was talking about "biting kneecaps." Look at their rosters—70% of their rosters are homegrown.
As Omar from The Wire would say, "Indeed." The Bears won, and it was a great win (against another mediocre team). I love my friends and Bears fans and their opinions about the Bears, but until the McCaskeys sell the team and we rid ourselves of this Trifecta of Shit (President, GM, and Coach), it's just not going to happen.
As of Today, the Chicago Bears are valued at approximately $6.4 billion.
We're waiting…
