Ted Phillips announced today that he will retire at the end of the upcoming season.
Bears released preliminary renderings for the Arlington Park project that includes a domed stadium that would be capable of hosting Super Bowl, College Football Playoff, or Final Four:

Interesting. I had imagined the stadium near where the race track is now, so that they could let those taking the train to be able to get off the train and walk into the stadium on some walkway, without ever having to go outside. I guess the architect has different views. Imagine that!

I think the objective is to force all the fans taking the train or any other public transportation , walk past all the stores and bars and places to / fro the game so they patronize all those places
much like the grocery store putting the milk in the back of the store
Random but related NFL question. How many of you solely follow the NFL because of fantasy football?
I grew up a Bears fan (in Packers country no less), but have distanced myself from my investment to the team probably when Lovie was let go.
Now I primarily follow the NFL because it's a means for connection with friends from my hometown or college for a period of time each year.

Bears catching a little bit of a break with Kittle unlikely to play for the Niners today.

News flash: Bears are going to have a hard time scoring points this season.
Never seen a field goal holder get called for a penalty like that before.
I think it was for leaving the towel on the field, not wiping the ground. You can't just leave an object in the middle of the field for a live play. The kick could get blocked and run back.
Eh. Ref said it was wiping the ground. They've had QBs have towels that they tear off and they stay on the field during the play with refs not calling it.
Ugly play but still got a positive result with the TD.
Best offensive play to this point was a defensive facemask. Yikes.
Edit: I also just realized I'm a few minutes behind so...

Bears have been completely outplayed and outclassed in this game and just took a lead in the 4th quarter on the Niners.
An Eddie Jackson INT???

What is this 2019?
One of my favorite radio shows had a bet between the two hosts. They had the over/under at 2.5 INTs for Eddie Jackson. Once Jackson gets his third pick, one of the hosts has said they'll eat a bowl of Eddie Jackson's BoJack cereal on air the following week.

As long as it's raining*17-0 Baby!
Good start to the Eberflus/Poles era. Niners kinda imploded with penalties but I'll take it.
They showed McCarthy's reaction postgame when talking to one of the athletic trainers and he had a "are you freaking kidding me?" look on his face.
This pretty well confirms that Dak will likely be out awhile:
Jerry Jones later said Dak will be out "several weeks" due to the injury.
