Yeah, they have all been really solid.

Terell Lewis with strip sack, Bear recover. Defense is gaining confidence.

Offense doesn't do much and ends up punting. I am not impressed with PJ Walker. He looks worse than Willis and Levis, which is not good.

Colbert with the forced fumble and recovery, it is being challenged, upheld. In the last few plays, Dexter getting some penetration, and Gipson with a near sack.

Stevenson eats up a quick WR screen, great play.

Bears defense holds them to force a 4th down, but a RB dive just gets over the line for a TD. Very close.

Bears get an INT in the end zone, by Thomas. Then PJ Walker gives it right back with his own INT.

Velus muffs a punt, but it didn't seem like he had a chance to field the ball. Very odd one there.

If they can stop the run, the defense is gonna be good.

A couple of runs by Herbert, Fields feels the rush on 3rd Down, escapes and finds Herbert who takes it to the house for 56 yards lol. Justin Fields 3-3, 129 yds, 2 TDs, 158.3 QB Rating LMAO!

Velus fields punt off the ground and gains a few yards.

Pickens with a huge 3rd Down sack!

Offensive drive, pass in the flat out to Blasingame for 10. Herbert run up the middle for 1. Quick pass to DJ Moore, takes it 62 yards to the house, LMAO!

Defense did relatively nothing to stop Titans on first drive. Malik Willis just walked them down for a 72 yard TD drive. Gordon was only player that stood out on defense so far.

It's game day. I would like to see Fields and the offensive starters play at least 2 series and hopefully score on at least one. I want to see Fields getting the ball out quick with timing. Main players I will be watching besides Fields: Wright and Claypool on offense. The entire D-Line and Gordon on defense. The media is going to be so polarizing after this one. If Fields looks good as a passer, look out MVP. If he looks bad, he is a bust. There is no in between.

Yeah I scooped up NFL+ as well, and I have ESPN+ thru the Disney+/Hulu bundle for free. I used to get DirectTV Sunday Ticket online but YouTube wants $400 for it or for you to have YouTubeTV for $75 a month AND $300. If you want RedZone Channel with that, it is $40 more. That is such a rip off it is ridiculous, especially with the blackout restrictions, you would not even get all 17 Bears games. If you only watched the Bears, it would be over $30 per game. I went with the $15 monthly NFL+ Premium and will pay for it for 5 months ($75) which will get me thru the entire regular season.

Wims was a bum, Stevenson is way better.

Claypool has shown enough, no need to risk further injury, let him rest up for the opener.

Updated Keepers, we now have 6 teams who have reported keepers. Fields of Dreams - Amari Cooper - 9th, Treylon Burks - 11th SAVAGEw/LOOSEMORALS! - Amon-Ra St. Brown - 5th, Drake London - 8th Victorious Secret - Tony Pollard - 5th MotM - Kenneth Walker - 13th Nopper - Patrick Mahomes - 3rd, Garrett Wilson - 15th The Mad Lithuanians - Aaron Rodgers - 10th, Tyler Allgeier - 14th We still need keepers from (if they are keeping anyone): PapaBear, Nip&Tips, The Bunny, and Mike's team (our new GM)

Baldy knows ball. I believe him.

It seems like Poles slightly changed his view compared to last year: Gordon - 9.69 (7th CB) Brisker - 9.11 (7th SS) Velus Jones - 7.1 (53rd WR) Braxton Jones - 8.42 (14th LT) Dominique Robinson - 9.74 (5th DE) Zachary Thomas - 8.97 (12th OG) Trestan Ebner - 4.75 (Bad) Doug Kramer - 8.46 (10th OC) JaTyre Carter - 6.3 (Low) Elijah Hicks - NS Trenton Gill - NS Robinson the highest RAS guy, followed by Gordon/Brisker. then Kramer (lol). Ebner was really low and Velus was lower than I expected.

Going back to the draft, Poles is banking on highly athletic dudes at all positions: RAS Scores Wright - 9.45 (4th OT) Dexter - 9.21 (2nd DT) Stevenson - 8.64 (14th CB) Pickens - 8.97 (5th DT) Johnson - 8.09 (8th RB) Sewell - 9.04 (6th LB) Scott - 8.3 (16th WR) Smith - 8.48 (16th CB) The lowest RAS guy was Roschon, with 3 guys over 9 (Wright, Dexter, and Sewell), and one right there (Pickens). That still is an impressive draft plus they got an extra 2024 1st and 4th, and some guy named DJ Moore.

Dexter is HUGE. 6'6" and 313. I love the work ethic and he didn't have to stop his pro day because he was too tired either. Dexter and Wright are always going to be linked to Jalen Carter. We will see if Poles got it right. Dexter looks like a steal in the 2nd and if Wright becomes a perennial starter at RT, then it was the Wright move because I don't know if there was another player drafted after Dexter that would be as good as Wright is/will be.

Gents, if you have not paid or set Keepers, we got about 3 weeks until the draft.
