Also, did you know his last college opponent was the Colorado School of Mines?

I didn't even know he went to a D-II school in West Virginia before tonight.

Although they probably think they have to come up with something, anything to make this interesting.

How do you let them convert from first and thirty and second and 27?

Haha and then they get a sack
On a sidenote, I didn't realize how busy Tim Sinclair is with PA work between Illini basketball, Bulls, and Bears among other things.
With the way their drive was going, I figured Carolina would wanna get in field goal range. Did not figure they would kick the field goal at that spot on the field.

1. That was fugly.
2. Vegas really does know how to make a line.

In fairness to Al and Curt, it’s a national broadcast & most NFL fans have not had to endure a Bears game this season. We might have to, but I wouldn’t wish it on another team’s fans.
Wasn't sure if I was the only one that caught the reference by Al Michaels.

True, though we've heard it literally EVERY. Freaking. Game.
I am convinced that the people who run the sportsbooks in Vegas are in possession of alien technology. They know all the outcomes beforehand. They just pick a handful of contests on a daily basis and intentionally skew the outcomes in a way that makes them look fallible. Ever watch the Indie flick Primer, or The Man Who Fell to Earth????? Both are fantastic must watch movies if you are a bona-fide Sci-Fi nerd.
Edit: Oh, and if you do watch Primer, be sure and check out Upstream Color.....
I was looking at the standings and remaining schedule for the Bears and other bad teams, and it is impossible to figure out where teams will fall cuz so many play each other. Good news is that 4 wins seems to be the magic number (last year 3 and 4 in draft order had 4 wins: two years ago 3-5 in draft order). Given Bears still have Arizona on schedule that might be where they end up. The final game of season against GB could loom large. It’s in GB, which should help.
I’m hopeful Bears pick ends up no worse than 4. I think Giants with their QB situation (another reason to root for TDV) might end up 3.
The better leader is the better leader. It doesn’t matter when or if they were drafted. There isn’t a sliding scale based upon that. We’re not talking “value” based upon salary, we’re talking leadership. And outside of early in training camp when they might have wondered who this guy is and thought “he went to what school?”, I highly doubt the players even think about what school he went to.
I’m not saying Fields is a great leader. I just haven’t seen any discernible difference in leadership from QB position under Bagent as you contended. Team won two games they should have (and really only looked good in one of those) and didn’t look nearly as good against slightly better competition in the other two games.
Primer is awesome....I am convinced that the people who run the sportsbooks in Vegas are in possession of alien technology. They know all the outcomes beforehand.

I’m glad you made your comment. I only skimmed the original post and thought it said Prime referring to the channel. Couldn’t figure out why Upstream Color wasn’t showing available on Prime for me. I’ve added both to my “to watch” list.
As have I. Go Bears!
Actually, the entire Bears organization is lacking overall in leadership. Who is really leading this franchise – from the field all the way up to the Owners box? And they have been lacking clear and good leadership for a couple generations since the ‘85 Bears. The ‘85 Bears... now THAT was a team that had leaders all over the field. Huge nasty defense. A ‘punky’ QB with attitude. One of the greatest running backs of all time. Leaders everywhere.
The Bears right now are a barge that is floating adrift on Lake Michigan. But the barge Owners are still getting very well paid. Because this Football Team Barge doesn’t have to deliver the goods. It just has to float.
So both Fields and Bagent are trying to captain a barge that doesn't know where the port is or how to get there.
Good news for Bears chances to get #1 pick as Arizona wins late over Atlanta 25-23.
I think this week should allow us to see if Bears are actually getting better or just beat two really bad teams in last month. Pick could end up as low as 8, but I’m with you and hoping for 4-5.
