Good for the B1G. Bad for all you Bears fans out there. I would hope it's too soon for JW to be considered for conference commissioner.

I'm okay with it if he's strictly business side and not involved in personnel like Ted Phillips was.

It's kinda remarkable how much faster African-American representation is growing among heads of NFL front offices than among head coaches. I never would have expected that 10 years ago.
To me that points even more strongly at what the issue is on the head coaching side. It's Sean McVay. The NFL is a copycat league, there is a bottomless well of "seems kinda Sean McVay-ish" guys, and none of them are black.

Phil Rogers, a reporter for NBC 5 in Chicago, traveled out to L.A. to see what Bears can learn from SoFi Stadium as it relates to Arlington Heights site. A portion of his piece is shown in this video:
Today's Bears inactives:
Scary moment involving the Eagles' Josh Sweat:

The Bears need a completely new defensive line. Wonder if that’s possible in one off-season.
I've heard Daron Payne of the Commanders mentioned as a possible FA signing if Payne decides to not re-sign with Washington.
They've got A LOT of needs that they can at least partially rebuild in an off-season. They need to revamp the front 7 on defense (aside from Sanborn who probably plays the Sam linebacker next season). They need to rebuild the o-line and the WR corps as well.

As fun as it’s been to watch Fields run around this season it’s pretty clear he’s starting to break down physically.
While I agree, Fields' toughness has always been one of his biggest attributes.
The visual on this looks really bad for Thibodeaux:

It’s really pretty amazing how bad the Bears’ passing game is week after week in today’s NFL.

The Bears have officially quit. Other than Brisker, Gordon, and Johnson this D is devoid of NFL players.
They haven't quit. You are correct about the players on D but the secondary is going to be one area that won't be an issue with this team going forward.

Color commentator on the broadcast disagrees with you.
Giants have officially clinched a playoff spot with their win over the Colts.
Commanders losing to Browns opens door for Detroit, Seattle, and Green Bay to get in. Lions would need to win at Green Bay and have Seattle either lose today or next week vs. the Rams.

Is it really quitting when you're already severely deficient on that side of the ball anyway?
Worst ever loss for Bears to Lions since 1997 when Bears lost at Detroit 55-20.
New England's win over Miami means Pats control own destiny for playoff spot. They win next week at Buffalo and they clinch final playoff spot in AFC.
Bucs clinch NFC South. Bucs had never won back-to-back division titles before this season.
Washington and New Orleans are eliminated with Green Bay win.
What Minnesota losing does is open the door for San Francisco to have a shot at the #1 seed in the NFC now if the Niners can beat Vegas. If that happens, then San Francisco would have the conference record advantage (currently at 9-2) over Philadelphia (8-3) and Minnesota (about to be 7-4) if they end up tied with either one of those teams.

Jets are eliminated from playoff contention with loss to Seattle.
Jets have longest active playoff drought in NFL, having not qualified for the postseason since 2010.

Gould wins it in OT with a FG after Stidham threw a bad pick.
Raiders are eliminated with loss.

Bears are locked into a top 4 pick and where they'll end up picking will be based on what happens next Sunday:
