Not sure what you’re worried about. I’m sure he’ll do a bang up job. Do you think he’s gunning for a starting role?

The NFC North is now 20-4 against all other teams, with 2 of the 4 losses coming to the Bills.

The Bears are now in sole possession of first place in their division without having won a division game.

Two stand outs for me last night: 1. Considering the health scare last year, it’s awesome seeing Jakstys get as much tick as he did. 2. I think I’m in love with Quentin Coleman, basketball nerd. Doing the Steve Smith hesitation drive and then pointing to him at the announcer’s table...

That dude is a dude.

It’s been mentioned a ton on this board over the years, but it bears repeating - the inability of the Bulls to find a role for Ayo remains utterly perplexing.

In games this year where Williams has been healthy for the whole game, the Bears have scored 59, 31, 30 and 34 points. And the NFC North is now collectively 17-3 against the rest of the league.

I like to think of Frank Solich seeing this on his social media feed, then snuggling up in his College Football Hall of Fame jacket, rolling over, and drifting back into a deep, untroubled sleep.

High price, but we’re talking about 4 years of an easy top-5, arguably top-2 defensive tackle in the league. This isn’t a “win the Super Bowl this year” move. It’s a “be a serious Super Bowl contender for the next three years” move.

The plan going into the season was that they’d start with Boyd, Horton, Cabrera, Taillon and Imanaga, and have Steele ready to come in by midseason. Imanaga had a nice year. Basically put up his expected numbers. Boyd missed about a third of the season, and was a little disappointing when he...

Don’t want to “like” someone getting hurt, but, yes, TSJ’s and Ayo’s minutes likely to go up.

4 Illini averaging double digit points early in the season. The last time that happened over an entire season was 94-95 with Gill (Seattle), Norman (Atlanta), Harper (New York) and Anderson (Orlando).

Unfortunate, but not a surprise considering how he reacted when it happened. With the way NFL contracts work, we may have just seen Cole’s last game with the Bears. Can’t imagine they’ll have enough info on his knee by the time they need to decide on paying him the rostering bonus.

That third down throw to Rome with 5 minutes to go was In-Sane.

Double digits for both of our Minnillinois Illiniwolves.
