Omar Hosts Solo Due to Stein's Illness
00:00:00
Speaker
Hello and welcome to the Bearclaw podcast. I am your host Omar Delgado and it looks like I am flying solo this week due to poor planning. Last week we were going to do an episode but our co-host Stein got sick so we were unable to record.
Tyreke Stevenson's Injury Update
00:00:22
Speaker
Also wanted to say happy belated birthday
00:00:25
Speaker
to Stein because the day that we were supposed to record was his birthday and also the day he got sick so that sucks but regardless happy birthday to him I'm gonna do my best here folks keep this entertaining but it's hard to make it entertaining when it's a one-sided conversation but here we go gonna give it the old college try
00:00:48
Speaker
Not a lot of updates this week, obviously with the game not happening, there was a bye this week so the bears didn't play. The only updates I found was that Tyreke Stevenson apparently got injured during practice during 7 on 7s back in November, at the end of November basically, the 25th, so about a week ago.
00:01:10
Speaker
But it looks like everything is pointing towards him being back for the Lions game, which is pretty big. Him being out would not be great for us. Despite him being a rookie, he's been a pretty big part of our defense.
Bears' Victory and Defensive Highlights
00:01:23
Speaker
Alright, that's pretty much the only update, so I guess we can go straight into the general vibe.
00:01:29
Speaker
Um About a couple weeks removed from a Bears win against the Vikings I'd say the vibes kind of chilled out but um Putting myself back in that headspace of the last week of the last time we played when we beat the Vikings I mean it felt mostly pretty good
00:01:53
Speaker
I mean, it's just always good to get a win, especially when your defense looks as good as it did. It's not always great. The win can feel a little, can feel not as great when your team doesn't score a touchdown, which is unfortunate. But hey, at this point, you know, we'll take what we can get. We finally got a division win.
00:02:18
Speaker
Matt and Aggie had gone, I believe it was nine straight without a division win.
Penalty Controversies and Offensive Critique
00:02:24
Speaker
But it just goes to show you, no division beats the Bears 10 times in a row. Yeah, so I guess we can dig a little bit into the game here. A lot of...
00:02:39
Speaker
a lot of negatives. Starting obviously it's not ideal to not have any touchdowns in a game. There's also a few things that I think were pretty upsetting. One of the main things that I that I stuck out to me was
00:02:55
Speaker
You can basically you can punch a Bears defender when you're getting pushed off the field. You can punch him as much as you want. You can punch him in the face and then the Bears will get called for a for a penalty. Yeah, so it looked like it would not look like they gave Kyler Gordon an unsportsmanlike.
00:03:16
Speaker
on sportsman like conduct and the Bears got penalized for it. But I mean, it's watching the replay on it. It's pretty damning. Kylie Gordon is shoving this Vikings player basically out of bounds. And then as they get to the sidelines, the Vikings player just starts swinging like full on swinging on Kylie Gordon. Kylie Gordon runs over to the back to the Bears sideline and his face mask literally hanging off of his helmet.
00:03:41
Speaker
And he puts it up in the air and I guess that was kind of what led to the unsportsmanlike, I don't know, just all around a ridiculous call, ridiculous chain of events there.
00:03:58
Speaker
Apparently, you can also go helmet to helmet with Justin Fields, and the refs just won't see it or won't call it, or I don't know what the deal is. Personally, I think it's been a consistent problem of Fields not only getting hit helmet to helmet, but also not getting called when there's some roughing the passer that could get called.
00:04:22
Speaker
But what can you do? I mean, I don't know why it is that he doesn't get those calls you'd like to see them especially When you got guys, I mean, he's no Patrick Mahomes But when you got guys like Patrick Mahomes who are getting pretty consistently getting roughing the passer calls It's a little frustrating when your quarterback doesn't get them
00:04:40
Speaker
As well. Despite not having any touchdowns, we did go for 317 yards total, which was pretty good. Continue the bad trend though of seven penalties of a lot of that we continue the bad trend of a lot of penalties we had seven for 76.
00:04:58
Speaker
which is something that we need to fix. I can't remember how many of those were drive-killing, you know, how many of those penalties were consequential, like really bad, but I assume some of them were drive-killing. But for, you know, I mean, we've talked about this a few times already, but for someone who parades discipline and as a big part of their game plan and a part of their culture that they're trying to promote, I mean, the penalties is just, it's an out of hand. It's something that we need to fix. It shouldn't be a problem this late in the season.
00:05:25
Speaker
I think we can dig into the offense here a little bit. Obviously, the main point being Justin Fields. Justin Fields was 27 for 37 for 217 yards. He also had 12 carries for 59 yards. Most of the passes that were called for him in most of his completions were behind the 10-yard line or behind the line of scrimmage even, which is not great. I don't think that's what you want to be calling, especially some of those situations where like,
00:05:53
Speaker
Some of those passes, and there was one that stuck out to me that was behind the line of scrimmage when we needed a two-yard gain, and they did a pass behind the line of scrimmage. Which, I mean, I'm no offensive football genius, but I feel like if you are trying to gain two yards, you ideally want your receivers to cross that two-yard threshold before you target them.
Is Justin Fields the Right QB?
00:06:15
Speaker
You want to drop a play where that's the point where they are past the two-yard threshold before they get the ball.
00:06:22
Speaker
But I don't know, maybe, you know, I'm not, I don't know everything. So, I mean, the conversation around Justin Fields continues, you know, is he the guy, you know, how much of it is his fault? Should they move on from him? Should they draft someone else? You know, that sort of thing. And I don't think it's unreasonable.
00:06:44
Speaker
I also don't think it's always fair. But I am a Justin Fields apologist, so maybe it's my bias. But I don't know. It's just tough to me. I feel like with the Justin Fields situation, it seems like we're in what I thought was going to be pretty much the worst case scenario where we're not really evaluating him and not really figuring out.
00:07:08
Speaker
What we have and what he can be just seems, and I mean, maybe it's a little bit on him too, but it just seems like we can't seem to really pin it down. We have a few games left to figure it out. Hopefully we can drop some actual Justin Fields centered offense.
00:07:26
Speaker
A lot of screens, a lot of screens still being called, which when you have a team that blitzes a lot, it's not totally, it's not completely ridiculous to call screens to try to combat that. But calling three in a row and only calling screens, there are other ways to combat the blitz, I think. So still not ideal. I mean, it's not great that our offensive coordinator, we're more than halfway through the season and he continues to,
00:07:56
Speaker
continues with these habits, these habits that a lot of people are pretty obvious to them. I think it's pretty obvious to a lot of football content consumers that these screens don't work. And a lot of times they're pretty much telegraphed to the other team. It's pretty obvious that they're going to happen and they're able to jump it. And we either get hit the line of scrimmage or for a loss.
00:08:16
Speaker
So, I mean, we'll just continue playing the game, I guess, of seeing how long it'll take Luke Getsey to figure out that those don't work or they need to be doing something else. Or for him to figure out that, I mean, that one, it was pretty much the game-winning play, I think, was when
00:08:37
Speaker
when fields pass to DJ Moore and it was a deep pass and it worked surprise surprise we'll see how long it takes gets you to figure out that Justin Fields can make those passes or who knows maybe he can't at this point just fucking again I mean it just goes can we figure out if he can do it or not can you just let him play and let him you know
00:09:01
Speaker
I don't know, you're not saving your job, I don't think at this point, if you're getzy. So you might as well just let the kid do what he's gonna do, you know? And I don't know, I guess when you're on your way out, maybe you don't feel like you have, maybe you don't feel the need to do a service to the team that's gonna fucking give you the boot. But it'd be nice if we could, you know,
00:09:28
Speaker
get it figured out.
Praise for DJ Moore and Trade Strategy
00:09:30
Speaker
So let's pass game.
00:09:34
Speaker
DJ Moore broke 1,000 receiving yards. He had 11 catches this game for 114, and he has broken 1,000 receiving yards, which is, I mean, we love to see it. DJ Moore has proved himself a valuable asset, I think has shown himself to be that, I think we've come to see that that move for DJ Moore was really good, really smart move. Not to mention that it'll, it looks like the Bears are pretty much
00:10:03
Speaker
It seems very likely that the bears are going to end up with the first pick in the draft via the Panthers. They are 1 on 11 and not getting any better. So that whole deal just seems to be getting sweeter and sweeter and really is starting to look like Ryan Pols fleeced. To quote some online people, it looks like Ryan Pols has fleeced the Panthers.
00:10:24
Speaker
So the combination, there's a stat here that I got. The combination of Justin Fields passing to DJ Moore. He has a 98.7 QBR when targeting DJ Moore, which is the highest, at least as of a week ago. Maybe that's changed now with another week of games. But a week ago, it was the highest mark of any QB receiver duo, according to ESPN stats.
00:10:51
Speaker
uh... which is pretty good uh... to be at the top of that uh... there's been some critique and and some of it fair some of it i think not so fair of justin fields is passing abilities and abilities to uh... read defenses and and and missing some you know missing white some open receivers some would say wide open receivers and i think that's fair i think it's happened uh... and especially when you start getting to the next you know when you start talking about
00:11:18
Speaker
drafting a replacement for him, for Justin Fields and how they compare and stuff. But I mean, I don't know, I think this combats that and I don't think that's, that's totally fair. You know, I think Justin Fields has, when given the opportunity, I think has shown himself to be able to do that. Colcom Ed also had a really fucking good game.
Colcomette's Improvement
00:11:43
Speaker
continues just continues to be good really continues to be a staple in this offense again as of last week maybe that's changed but as of last week he's the only offensive player to receive 60 plus targets and not drop a pass this season this past game he got seven catches for 43 yards just continues to also like
00:12:03
Speaker
his hands are great. That was one of the critiques that I saw early on in his first and second year was that he kept dropping passes, which there was a few games that he did drops and pretty critical passes, but it seems that he's worked on that and has kind of turned that around to make it a strength of his, which is pretty great to see, just to see his growth and see him
00:12:27
Speaker
Just again, continue to be a staple of this offense. I'm a huge Colcomette fan. I think that's pretty well documented. So yeah, we love to see it. I think that pretty much covers it for the offense. Again, obviously, I mean, I don't know. It's just, we've talked about it so much at this point. It's pretty stagnant. I mean, can you put some of the blame on Justin Fields? I guess. I guess we can talk about too.
00:12:55
Speaker
Justin Fields had had some pretty bad I had some pretty bad turnovers
Justin Fields' Turnovers and Leadership
00:13:00
Speaker
towards the end of the game. Which you know chalk one up for the fields detractors, but I mean
00:13:10
Speaker
was given thanks for defense and how great our defense played was given another opportunity a few more opportunities to go at it again and was able to make a nice deep pass to DJ more when it really mattered. I also just think I mean I'm pretty fuzzy here I'm pretty again we're a week removed but
00:13:30
Speaker
I don't think it's, when you're given the ball to the quarterback on third down and he's got third and more than 10 or more to go after you ran the ball, the two plays before that, and he doesn't make those passes, he doesn't make those completions, I don't think that's totally fair to be like, he is not clutch.
00:13:53
Speaker
Um, which again, just, just to be clear, those, those fumbles, uh, those turnovers were pretty bad and they were on Justin, like those were definitely his fault. Again, I'm willing to hear a little bit because at some point, you know, at some point, uh,
00:14:11
Speaker
Even if it's not fair for you to be in those situations, at some point, you have to start winning and doing good in those situations. But I mean, it's 50-50, I think. It's just, which again, just makes it so tough because it's like, you know, who do we blame here? I don't know.
00:14:32
Speaker
I'm willing to hear the Justin Fields critiques, but I think as long as it's within reason. So yeah, obviously you don't like those two turnovers, but I mean, you came back and was able to keep a clutch and took responsibility. There was some audio, not some audio, but there was a video that came out of them after the game.
00:14:53
Speaker
And he's in the locker room and he's talking to all the rest of the team. And, uh, her Ibifluce is talking to the team and before they, you know, break the sort of huddle, a little talk that they were having, Justin Fields, uh, interrupts him and asks, you know, if he can say something and is like, Hey guys, like really owns up and takes responsibilities. Like, Hey guys, like, sorry on those turnovers, like those around me, like, I really appreciate you guys having my back. And, uh, it was really cool. Cause then the whole team was like, we appreciate you. And they all kind of like, you know, started gassing them up and stuff, which was, uh,
00:15:22
Speaker
Really great. It seems like this team really believes and trusts in Justin Fields, which is great. And I don't know, begs the question, if Justin Fields shows himself to not be what we want him to be and the coaches or the staff decide to get rid of him and start fresh, how does that affect the locker room? A locker room that is coalesced around this guy and around each other.
00:15:50
Speaker
What happens there, you know, can you bring in the rookie guy or another guy and get them to gel the same way around them? And, you know, man, all remains. I mean, it's all fucking hypotheticals
Bears' Defensive Strengths
00:16:01
Speaker
and speculation at this point. So what can you do?
00:16:05
Speaker
um With that I mean with the fields talking about the defense. I mean defense played fucking great. I think really did play really great you can you can maybe put the asterisk I guess of uh This isn't a cousin's led viking's offense. Uh, i'm not going to do that though because this is a bear's podcast So we're again, we're going to take what we can get and we have a lot to take here with the bear's defense
00:16:31
Speaker
Not to mention that I am of the camp. I don't think this Vikings offense led by Joshua Dobbs is totally inept We have four picks Which was awesome so much fun to watch it's it's so much fun to watch the defense again watch the defense get takeaways And seemingly I don't know where I don't know where I don't know if it's just all clicking I don't know if
00:16:54
Speaker
Iber Flus has just been able to coach the guys up on stuff and get it working. I don't know. I don't have the analysis. All the analysis I have is that it's fun. It's fun to watch. Seven picks in the last two games. So in the last two games, we have more picks than we had in the first 10 games because we only had six in the first 10 games.
00:17:15
Speaker
Something's turning around here, we're in an upwards trend. And it's fun, it's great to see. I will say that I think some of it has to do with being healthy, with everyone being healthy. I think that's definitely a big part of it. Jalen Johnson got a pick. Kyler Gordon got a pick. TJ Edwards got a pick. Jaquan Brisker had a pick. Jalen Johnson must have heard me talking shit last week, or two, three weeks ago, however long that was, that I said Jalen Johnson wasn't playing.
00:17:44
Speaker
like a guy who wants to get paid, he must have heard me talking shit because he decided he wanted to come to play against the Vikings. He was truly all over the field and it was just awesome to watch. Especially that pic that he had, man. He just absolutely ball-hocked it, like really just read it and jumped up and just snagged it. It was very, very cool, very fun to see. Love that he got that.
00:18:07
Speaker
Our defense kept the Vikings to two third down conversions out of nine attempts. Again, just we're able to keep them from doing anything, really. We just controlled the game.
00:18:27
Speaker
Kept them to under 100 rushing yards, which I mean they're not known for that rushing game, you know, but I mean still Would be interesting to see I assume the streak continues of keeping Unless unless the Lions got more than a hundred Okay, so the Lions did actually break got more than a hundred yards and rushing against the Bears But that's all right. We're starting to trend again. We're gonna start the streak again looks like of keeping them
00:18:58
Speaker
of keeping teams to less than 100 rushing yards. We'd love to see it. Montez Sweat. We got three sacks. And it looks like Montez Sweat has been another great pick. I mean, he's really, maybe that's what it's been. Maybe it's not so much Matt Eberfluis, you know, but maybe having another, I don't know if I'd call him a star yet, but definitely, I mean, definitely key piece, definitely big,
Impact of Remaining Schedule on Coaching
00:19:28
Speaker
big playmaker having him. Since he's gotten here, it seems like he's really just elevated the defense. So it's been a great grab. He had one and a half sacks. So I don't think it's too far fetched to give Montez Sweat some of the credit of elevating this defense.
00:19:50
Speaker
Um, hopefully again, just hopefully the trend continues. Uh, this defense has really, I mean, it's turned around really, really makes you wonder if, uh, if Ibrufus is going to be sticking around next for next year. Um, cause I mean, what do we got when we really think about it? Right. I'll get a little more, I'll dig a little more, not too much more, but you don't talk a little more, a little bit more about the lions.
00:20:19
Speaker
But if you look at the rest of our schedule, it looks like we got the Lions, we got the Browns, we got the Cardinals, the Falcons, and then we end with the Packers. So, I mean, looking at that, Browns are with Joe Flacco.
00:20:35
Speaker
They just lost this week though. As far as I know, Joe. So there, I mean, the Browns, they're pretty good. Stein's always going on about their own O-line. It seems like they've kept it up. I assume they've kept it up. That could be a win there. Cardinals. I mean, they're still not doing great. That could be a win there. Lions is going to be tough. Falcons. That's winnable. Packers. I mean, we'll see who the Packers ended being. The Packers have been on a fucking tear the past couple of weeks.
00:21:01
Speaker
And Jordan Love really looked great this past week. So I mean, I don't know if he can get a few more wins. How many more wins would it take to win out? I don't know. That's a tall order. But I mean, if he does, does that mean he sticks around? Should he stick around? I personally, I don't know. Every week, especially when you have a week like you had against the Vikings defensively,
00:21:26
Speaker
He, uh, he changes my mind a little bit. He gets me leaning a little, a little bit closer to keeping him around. Cause I don't, I don't know how likely, I don't think it's, I, ideally he just gets demoted to defensive coordinator. If the defense keeps playing like this, but I don't see that happening. I just don't think that's very likely to be so like out of the norm and just, I mean, what he even want to stick around.
00:21:52
Speaker
I mean, where else is he going to go? I don't think I can imagine that the market is dying for a Matt Eberflux right now, but, um, I don't know what happens, you know, at the very least, does he go with getsy? Do they keep him around? Do they demote him? I know there's been talks. I mean, it's all rumors, but, uh, there have been rumors that they're talking and they're thinking about Jim Harbaugh. Could it happen? I don't know.
00:22:20
Speaker
I don't know, Jim Harbaugh or the Bears, that'd be cool. But I mean, again, I mean, what do you do? Can Matt Eberfluis save his job? Hard to say. I mean, Luke Etsy has definitely got to be gone. He's definitely got to go. But again, do you throw him and, you know, do you throw the baby out with the bathwater if Eberfluis is having some success?
00:22:45
Speaker
Do you just bring in a new OC to your fucking clean house? I know there's talk about, I mean, if Eberflux is gone, it seems like Poles is gonna be gone with him. I don't think I want Poles gone. He's had some, I mean, a few bad calls here and there, but I mean, again, he made that great.
00:23:02
Speaker
We got DJ more and we're going to look like we're going to end up with the first pick. So I mean, that's a great move. Montes. Well, another great move. His rookies are doing really good. We got Darnell. Right. Who continues to be on a great trend. We got Tyreke Stevenson, who's also playing great as a rookie. I mean, we have a couple of guys too on the defensive line, on the D line that are, they're doing good too. That were his, his rookies that he picked. So.
00:23:27
Speaker
And I was just talking about Montez Sweat, which, you know, there were some questions around that, but I mean, it seems to be going in the positive direction. It's just tough, man, looking at this and getting rid of him, you know, second year into a rebuild where our record is already better than last year. How much of an improvement is that, though? You know, I mean, the bar was on the floor last year.
00:23:57
Speaker
So I mean, you have at least one more win. We'll see how the rest of the season goes. Um, I've seen some graphics that say we're in the hunt, which is, uh, in the hunt for playoffs, I think is very generous for this bears team. Again, it's just all speculation. I don't know what I want to happen. I think of the defense again, and it's so unlikely, but ideally, you know, you demote, you demote Maddie. You get rid of Luke Etsy.
00:24:27
Speaker
You either bring in, at that point, I guess you'd have to bring an offensive minded head coach to be the, to be the play caller. Cause I don't, I don't know. You know me. It's just how much is Eber flu is going to be okay with it. But then also how much, I mean, how much of a say does he really have with the record? He has as a head coach. He's just now getting it turned around and figuring it out defensively. It seems like.
00:24:56
Speaker
And, uh, I mean, I don't know, what do the bears want to do? I don't want, I don't know, man. I just think about how they might, if they clean house, get rid of poles, get rid of either flus, get rid of getsy. And it seems like I would get the feeling if that went, it seems like Justin Fields would probably be gone to two years into rebuild and we already started all over again. I don't know, man.
00:25:26
Speaker
Just in the shit position. This shit is just very frustrating. And I don't think I would want our defense to not be doing good, but it would be making life a lot easier if the defense looked like shit. Cause then we'd be able to, you know, it'd just be a lot easier to be like, obviously, he has to go. Cause he's the problem too. You know, I don't know, but that's just all again, just more speculation.
00:25:55
Speaker
I think that about covers the Vikings game. If there's anything I missed, I apologize. Again, we're a week removed and I'm flying solo here. So I'm really trying to dig deep here and bear down, but you know, what can you do? It's gonna be a short episode. It feels like I've been talking forever and I really have not been talking for that long. I guess we can go, let's go a little bit into the NFC North vibe check.
00:26:21
Speaker
I guess I'm taking the vibe check this week since there's no one else to take it. So the Lions went against the Saints this week and they won 33-28. It looks like the Lions are back in form. I mean Monty got started pretty early and they were mixing Gibbs in there too. So I mean it seems like that 1-2 punch is kind of coming back up. I mean I guess
00:26:48
Speaker
Before we get into the game and talking about how they're back to form, it's important to mention, we almost beat the,
Lions' Form After Packers Loss
00:26:55
Speaker
the Bears almost beat the Lions, which no one expected. And then, so they had that rough game. They kind of brought it back. I mean, kind of, they did. They brought it back in the last five minutes and beat the Bears. So, I mean, they were able to kind of hold that off. They got the dub, you know, they did what they had to do.
00:27:11
Speaker
But then yeah, cuz we didn't talk about this since we didn't have the pod last week, but then the Lions lost to the Packers 29 to 22 Which I mean again, I don't think anyone expected that either I Think the Packers were super banged up that game. I Think I mean it wasn't a you know, not a super
00:27:39
Speaker
pretty game um but i mean to lose to almost lose to the bears and then to almost and then to lose to the packers who i mean i don't know though maybe it's just they were on an upward trend and it started the end you know and is continuing now but i i think that week is just like
00:27:59
Speaker
You just didn't expect it, especially with how many injuries they had and stuff. Jordan Love had a pretty good game that week. And even though the Lions, again, even the Lions had more total yards, more passing yards.
00:28:13
Speaker
Overall, more yards. They had more passing yards and more rushing yards and less penalty yards and they still lost. It just seemed like they just couldn't get to get it together. They weren't able to do what they did against against the Bears late. The Packers just were able to keep it together, which good for them, I guess a little disappointing, especially considering we could could have been there. It could have been us, but it wasn't. But the Packers took care of business. Anyway, all that to say,
00:28:45
Speaker
the lions in this past week going against the saints look like they're returning to form to their previous height I guess of play going back to the standard of play that we've come to expect from the lions
00:29:04
Speaker
Yeah, I mean Monty who has been a sleepyhead Before these before this game the last two games got started pretty early again He got started pretty early in the first half and then they got Jimmy Gibbs in there and I mean Jared Goff look good again He's making really great passes his receivers are making really great catches and But the Saints the Saints put up a really good fight. It was a really good game Derek or got injured and
00:29:30
Speaker
late late in the game and I think that kind of contributed to Kind of hindered the comeback that the Saints could have had because they definitely had a couple opportunities to come back and win that game So then after after Derek Carr got injured they put in Jamis Winston, which I'm coming to realize is not necessarily Your first pick that you want when you're trying to make a comeback especially against the Lions But regardless they put up a good fight
00:29:56
Speaker
and so i guess i mean i don't think the saints are a bad team maybe i'm wrong here you know i got no one here to correct me but going off of my own knowledge it seems like the saints are not a terrible team uh i think they're pretty solid i think when Derek Carr is not hurt they have a pretty good you know they're like middle upper middle maybe could be i don't know hard to tell because he gets hard hurt all the time
00:30:21
Speaker
Does beg the question though, you know how how how back to form are the Lions if the Saints were able to stay in it and we're really Again that that comeback was injured by I think by a Derek Carr being injured. So could this I mean the Saints were pretty close are the Lions They were able to win but I guess not too convincingly so
00:30:45
Speaker
Where are they? I mean, we'll see. I think, I mean, I guess I think we'll see what the, what this next game against the bears. I mean, if they can, they can be as convincingly, I think we can save to say they're back to the playing to their, you know, back to their standard of play that they, that they want to be at. If not.
00:31:08
Speaker
I mean, bears have, again, our defense is doing pretty good. If we can stop making our same stupid mistakes, are we a good team? I think we're, again, maybe we're a little closer to the Saints than some might think. As far as, you know how good we are, maybe we're not so bad.
00:31:27
Speaker
But uh tough to say I guess we'll see um moving on from that though. I think that's enough That's enough on that all that all that bullshit just to say we'll see how much I cut how much you have to hear But I'll have to say the Lions. I think they're kind of back to form at the very least They're playing alright the Saints. It doesn't matter how the Saints look cuz they're not in the NFC North I Don't even know are they in whatever we're not talking about the Saints talking about the Lions. We'll see how they do against the Bears um
00:31:56
Speaker
Onto the next one, this one was pretty fucking crazy.
00:32:01
Speaker
The Packers beat the Chiefs.
Packers Win Against Chiefs Analysis
00:32:05
Speaker
I think the only one that saw that coming was our, I mean, at least the only one that I know, the only person that I know that saw that coming was our resident Packers fan, Isaac Turjan. I think he had mentioned that this was gonna be a good matchup for the Packers. It was gonna be in the Packers' favor. So the Packers beat the Chiefs 27 to 19. 27 to 19.
00:32:31
Speaker
without Jer Alexander and without Aaron Jones. Although the Chiefs did have Matt Nagy, so kind of evens out. Seems like even when he's not with the Bears, Matt Nagy continues to lose to the Packers.
00:32:47
Speaker
Chiefs were, I mean, let's talk about it. Packers versus Chiefs. Early on, the Chiefs could not finish in the red zone. They were unable to turn drives to finish drives with touchdowns. They did not have a touchdown until the third quarter. And they only had six points in the first half.
00:33:14
Speaker
which is not great. It's not what you expect typically from the Kansas City Chiefs. It's Kansas City Chiefs. So yeah, it's not what you typically expect from the Chiefs. Isaiah Pacheco
00:33:31
Speaker
The way this guy runs, the anger with which he runs, the passion, it's insane. This guy is nuts. He just cannot bring this guy down. And every time he's running at that hole, he's just running. I don't even know how to describe it. It's crazy to me to watch him
Isaiah Pacheco's Impact on Chiefs
00:33:49
Speaker
run. And he just fucking runs people over and gets so many yards after contact.
00:33:56
Speaker
I mean, there's one play where he's moving the pilots by himself. It's nuts. It's nuts to watch this guy running. 18 carries, 110 yards, one touchdown. I mean, just a huge piece of that offense, I think. I mean, despite them not being able to get going, he just had a great game still, I think. He's nuts watching this guy run.
00:34:18
Speaker
It looks like the Packers receivers are just clicking. I think Jordan Love and his receivers are just clicking now.
Jordan Love's Performance and Packers' Future
00:34:25
Speaker
Hopefully, maybe next week we'll be able to... We'll see if the trend continues and maybe get some more commentary on that. But Jordan Love, 25-36, 267 yards, three touchdowns. That's not a bad stat line. That's pretty good, right? And he's continued, it seems like, on this upward trend. So, I mean,
00:34:47
Speaker
Packers fans seem to be getting all horny about it. And I mean, not without without reason, you know, could this be the guy could the real question is, are the Packers lucky enough slash? OK, I'll give you I'll give you are the Packers lucky enough to get a third generational quarterback or is the rest of the NFC unlucky enough that the Packers would get?
00:35:16
Speaker
a third generational a third generational when i say third generational it makes it sound like he's third generation a third quarterback who is a generational talent i seem to think it's it's that the rest of the nfc is unlucky enough uh truly though i think i don't know i mean the packers are obviously doing something right you know um
00:35:40
Speaker
We'll see what happens. We'll see if he can continue on this trend. It seems like they have pretty much of a... I mean, I don't want to call it a cakewalk, but the rest of their schedule goes as follows. They have the Giants. They have the Bucks after that. They have the Panthers. They have the Vikings. And they have the Bears. Again, I don't want to call it a cakewalk, but fuck, man. Giants are shit this year. Buccaneers?
00:36:07
Speaker
That could be, I mean, that's a winnable game for them. I don't think it's going to be super easy. It's winnable. Panthers. Panthers are one in 11. Hopefully they continue to help us out with, to get the one number one pick. I think they will. Cause the Panthers are not good this year. The Vikings Vikings seem like the Vikings, where are the Vikings at? It seems like they're on a doubt on a downward trend.
00:36:37
Speaker
I mean, losing to the bears, it's just, we haven't, we've had that conversation before. We'll see how they bounce back because they got the Raiders.
00:36:49
Speaker
We'll see how they bounce back because they got the Raiders and then they got the Bengals. The Bengals without Joe, Joe Burrow, who was out for the rest of the season, unfortunately. Oh, Vikings got kind of gauntlet. They got kind of a gauntlet at the end. Not really, actually. So they got the Raiders. They got the Bengals. They got the Lions. They got the Packers. And then they got the Lions again, kind of a gauntlet in that last.
NFC North Standings and Challenges
00:37:10
Speaker
But again, we'll see how good the Lions are, how good are the Lions going to be? Are they going to be back to true form? Are they going to be super competitive?
00:37:19
Speaker
i don't know anyway back to the packers i think they can i mean vikings are really the toughest ones out of that last stretch maybe if the bears can get their shit together i don't think they will i don't think they're gonna i don't think we're gonna
00:37:39
Speaker
I don't think we're going to suddenly start. I don't think by the end of the season, we're going to have suddenly started to start making good play calls for Justin Fields. Will Justin Fields have figured it out by the end of the season and figured a way to get past that? I don't know. Will the offense be able to get past that? I don't know. It's hard to get past your play caller. But where was I going with this? The Packers.
00:38:08
Speaker
Fuck, where was I going with this? See, this is the hard part about doing a podcast by yourself. There's no one to remind you what the fuck you were talking about. Okay, I got it. My two points, secondarily, is that it seems like the NFC is a little bit more of a mix up now, but my primary point in all of that was to say, have the Packers found their guy?
00:38:32
Speaker
Jordan love is doing good Obviously against this Chiefs team doing good against this defense that I think was a big part of why the Chiefs were able to continue their success I think their offense has had a little bit more some more struggles How good is Jordan love even if they continue even if they went out again
00:38:54
Speaker
don't want to call it a cakewalk but i also kind of want to call it a cakewalk so i think it's a it's a little tough to gauge but i mean at the very least if he if he can continue to have some really good games and continue to play the way he's playing i think you he found some consistency at the very least is he going to be hall of fame is he going to be generational is he going to be the third in the line of uh
00:39:17
Speaker
of a great packers quarterbacks will fucking find out again i think we're unlucky enough that they could be and he's again he's certainly on on the on an upward trend but um we'll see what the with the rest of the season brings especially i mean if they can make
00:39:34
Speaker
They're most likely going to make playoffs. And we'll see how it actually ends up all shaking out. But it seems like they're probably going to have the 49ers in the first round, which is not what you want because the Niners, I mean, they just got done absolutely fucking on the Eagles, an Eagles team that made the Super Bowl last year and has been doing. I mean, I guess you could say they've been a little bit.
00:40:00
Speaker
Not playing up to their standard entirely, but I mean they're still playing really good and the Niners just absolutely dog walk them so I Think it's a bit of a tall order for Jordan love to lead the Packers to a win against them But I mean if he does Fucking They definitely got their guy, but if not again at the very least they have a guy who can bring them some consistency which is Not as easy to find in the NFL as as you would like
00:40:28
Speaker
Going back to the game though, um, I mean there were some pretty crazy moments It felt like the game kind of shifted when Mahomes had an interception That was when I really it for me anyway It seemed like the momentum really shifted and it really seemed like the Packers were kind of having an unlock and then that kind of just led to some more just like crazy plays I've seen people talk. I didn't get to watch the whole thing
00:40:52
Speaker
It was kind of funny. I was laying down for bed and I just happened to pull my phone out and I just happened to check the scores. I saw the Packers were winning and I was like, what the fuck? They're gonna beat the Chiefs. There's only two minutes left and they're up by eight points.
00:41:11
Speaker
And so I got the tail end of the game. But I know people were talking about how it's just some of the really bad calls. And I guess the interception wasn't a bad call, but I think it set off a chain of events that led to some very crazy calls. One of them, I mean, I mentioned earlier that Patrick Mahomes is getting a lot of roughing the passer calls.
00:41:33
Speaker
he got one this game that i don't know man that was i could see how you could call it i could also i don't know it turns me into a boomer where i want to talk about you know i feel like i feel like a boomer talking about you know back in the day blah blah blah you know it used to be more physical games games not so physical anymore blah blah blah
00:41:57
Speaker
I don't know. I don't think... It wasn't totally unreasonable. I could see why you would call it. I don't think you had to. But again, it's Patrick Mahomes. He gets those calls. And if he doesn't get them, he begs for them and then gets them.
00:42:12
Speaker
And then after that, too, there was another crazy call. Maybe, you know, people got better eyes or better. There's a reason that I'm missing it. But there was a there was a fumble by the Chiefs that they ended up calling. They ended up calling it that it wasn't a fumble because the runner was down by contact.
00:42:38
Speaker
i don't know it didn't seem to me like he was down by contact seemed to me like it was a fumble um but i could be wrong you know i'm not an nfl official i don't know the entire rule book i didn't get all the angles honestly i'm still not even 100 sure what happened in that whole play call because
00:42:59
Speaker
They were talking about a block and something, I don't know. And then the third one that I thought was kind of crazy was there was a pretty bad pass interference on a deep field pass that Mahomes just kind of sent and it looked like a green bay corner or safety or whatever he was. It looked like some pass interference that didn't get called.
00:43:23
Speaker
I think regardless of your loyalties, it seems to me that the consensus online is that the last chunk of that game, the last five minutes or so of that game was just really bad officiating.
00:43:39
Speaker
and then you know people get some uh... that's something we can clear up and talk about a little more next week but i mean i'm inclined to agree based off what i've seen so yes at the end there i mean the uh... the chiefs really trying to make a comeback and really trying to uh... trying to win the game there but they just can do it just couldn't overcome it uh... i think the uh...
00:44:02
Speaker
Packer, I think it's easy to know what's coming. It's easy to know that my home is going to be looking for a long down the field pass and trying to get that touchdown. So when you know that's coming, it's a little easier to prepare for it. And the Chiefs just couldn't do it. And I think not only could the Chiefs not do it, I think the Packers were ready and they rose to the occasion and were able to beat the Chiefs, which another one, I don't know. Another one no one saw coming.
00:44:29
Speaker
Anyway, I think that that does it. I think that about does it for the NFC North vibe. Check Vikings with Dobbs. We'll see where they end up. I mean, we've had that conversation so many times, not so many times, but we've had that conversation before how good they can be with them. He's opened up the other parts of their offense that weren't there with Kirk cousins. I don't know. We'll see the bears. What are we going to do? Where are we going to be at? I don't know. I think for sure. It seems I still think the
00:44:57
Speaker
Still think the Lions, I mean, unless they shit the bed, I think they have it on lock. Anyway, we'll finish those thoughts. We'll fucking tie that up. I think for now, we'll say that that's it for the NFC North five check. And then we'll move into a little, a little bit of a week 14 preview.
Preview: Bears vs. Lions
00:45:16
Speaker
Um, so again, the Chicago bears have.
00:45:20
Speaker
the Detroit Lions this upcoming week. The only real news, as far as that matchup is concerned, is that it looks like two linemen for the Lions could be out. Their center, Frank Ragno and Allen McNeil, their defensive tackle. Which is not ideal if you're the Lions. And ideally, again, for the Bears, it looks like we're going to have Tyreek Stevenson back. I have a hard time.
00:45:52
Speaker
Let's see. I have a hard time believing it's tough, because I feel like it's tough to gauge where the lions truly are right now. I was kind of talking about that earlier. How much of this win? Could the saints have beat the lions? If they had beat the lions, what would that have really meant? Would it have meant that the lions are kind of fumbling and not as good as we thought?
00:46:20
Speaker
would it have meant that the Saints are better than some might think or at least that I think in my head I mean maybe other people think they are pretty good and very solid in my head I don't I didn't think they were I think they were a solid team but um not solid enough to beat the Lions but again the Lions are showing themselves I mean they're they're struggling can they get it together at the end here and I mean how good are they really I think that's like
00:46:43
Speaker
I think they're a big question mark right now whereas like for a while it just seemed I mean for most of the season it just truly seemed like they were this unstoppable force and not so much with this kind of skid that they hit again I mean to call it a skid I mean you know maybe it's being a little bit of a doomer you know almost losing to the Bears losing to the Packers who again are an upward trend losing to the Saints who I think maybe are better than some people might think or sorry almost losing to the Saints
00:47:11
Speaker
Just a lot of question marks, but I mean, I think they're probably going to stay at the top of the division. They got the Bears again. They got the Broncos, they got the Vikings, they got the Cowboys and they got the Vikings again. We'll see. I think, I mean, it seems like their last five are really going to answer some questions here, some questions here. They should beat the Broncos. Cowboys, Cowboys are kind of the come up. I don't know.
00:47:39
Speaker
I don't know. We'll see. It's very interesting, at least. I think, at the very least, it doesn't seem so much like the Lions are just going to full-on run away with it. It looks like there's a little bit of a contest. Again, we've got some time left, so we'll see how it shakes out. But I think it's at least been made interesting. The NFC North has been made interesting.
00:48:06
Speaker
Maybe that's a shit take. We'll find out. We'll find out next week when hopefully I have both of the boys back to correct me and let me know what's up. You know, we'll see. But for now, that's where I stand. But again, I mean, not again, but again, but you know, my opinions. I'm fickle, man. You show me you show me some good evidence the other way. I'll consider it. I'll think about it.
00:48:31
Speaker
at least fickle is a strong word i'm open open-minded that try to be um yeah i just i think it's a tall order i don't not a tall order i don't know okay bears versus lions not having your starting center that's tough
00:48:56
Speaker
I'm Allen McNeil. Your defensive tackle, not having him. That's tough. It's a little bit of a disadvantage. I just don't know, man. I think the Lions coaching staff was maybe caught a little off guard by our offense last time we went against each other. And I think also caught a little bit off guard by how good our defense was.
00:49:26
Speaker
last time until the last five minutes of the game. So I am not sure that's gonna happen again. I don't think it's gonna happen again. That's not to say that it won't. Again, I mean, there's just some big question marks here. How good are the Detroit Lions? They've been shown, I mean, these past few weeks, it's been shown that they can bleed, you know? One of the teams that made them bleed was us. Can we do it again?
00:49:57
Speaker
I think it's possible. I don't think it's likely. It's just hard to have faith in this coaching staff. I think that's mostly where my doubts lie because I think we have a pretty talented roster.
Justin Fields Under Pressure Against Lions
00:50:14
Speaker
Just, I mean, again, man, it just always goes back to the same thing. Can we play to Justin Fields' strengths? I think our defense is going to continue on this trend. I do think our defense is going to continue to be good. I think we'll be able to hold them. I think last time we did, again, until the last five minutes, we did a pretty good job of holding David Montgomery, who is a phenomenal running back. I think we did a pretty good job of containing him.
00:50:40
Speaker
I think we might be, I think we could repeat that. I think we can get some, I think we can get some pressure on Jared Goff again. Cloud his line of sight again. Maybe get some takeaways. We're on a great trend for takeaways.
00:50:56
Speaker
but I don't know I just uh I think that's one of the critiques too I mean that'll be important to see too because I think one of the critiques of Justin Fields is Justin Fields is that once you know what's coming from him you know whether that be once you are aware of his legs and his ability to run and once you know
00:51:12
Speaker
Once you force him to pass, he has trouble adjusting. And I think we'll be able to see. They're going to be ready for him at the very least. So if they can contain them and kind of take away. I mean, he had a great game last time against the Lions. So if they can, you know, take that away.
00:51:31
Speaker
um i think i mean i mean that'll obviously be a point against them if they can take that if they can keep him contain this game uh i think our run game should be still be solid though
00:51:46
Speaker
i don't it's not so tall last time last time we went against each other i really was uh could not be convinced i had i had no hope um this time i have some hope i think it's possible i don't think again the lines have been shown that they they can they can bleed you know they are only human as well um i don't think uh maybe they'll prove me wrong but i don't think they are in the
00:52:13
Speaker
I don't even think that. But again, I have a question mark right now. Are they really one of those elite teams?
Are Lions Truly Elite?
00:52:21
Speaker
Are they really in the elite category of elite NFL teams? I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe they'll show us that they are. We'll see again.
00:52:37
Speaker
Not impossible. I don't think it's likely just because I have no faith in this coaching staff still. I have some faith in Iberfus now. I have some faith. I still continue to have zero faith in Luke Etsy.
00:52:51
Speaker
Yeah, I think that does it for the preview. I think maybe it'll be a low scoring game. I don't think it'll be anything too crazy. Hopefully it'll be entertaining at least. Hopefully our defense can continue to make it fun to watch this team. I think even when you're going against him, it's always crazy to watch what Jared Goff and his receivers do. I think that's always nuts. I love David Montgomery, watching him run even if he's
00:53:16
Speaker
Fucking running us over it. It's always just nuts to me. I'm a huge fan of his Yeah, we'll see hopefully we can get our run game going Keys to success. I mean just well, I'm interested to see what Justin fields
00:53:35
Speaker
I'm interested to see what he does this game. I'm interested to see what he does the rest of the season. I can, again, I mean, I understand, you know, some people aren't bought in on him. Some people have his critiques. There are critiques there to be made. One of the things I've been thinking about, because it gets brought up a lot, he's had three years. You know, I hear it all, I see it all the time. And he said, he's had three years. It's been three years, blah, blah, blah. This isn't that. And I just,
00:54:04
Speaker
he has not had three years to develop and to be, um, these three years have not been, I don't think he's had three years to develop. I don't think we can call these years. Like, I don't think that's fair, um, with this coaching staff and with the bullshit, I mean, his first year, you know, it wasn't even a full year after that he had the change and then he's been working under gets, you know, he's had gets, he has his OC.
00:54:31
Speaker
How much has he really been able to be developed and then taught and really coached up by capable and competent offensive minds? I don't think that's really happened. And as much as I like Justin Fields, I don't think he's the kind of quarterback to come in to the NFL and just figure it out on his own.
00:54:59
Speaker
And those guys don't grow on trees so It'll be interesting it'll be interesting to see how he does especially We got some teams that that we've already Seen before coming up with the Falcons Again with the Lions and then I mean we're gonna end with the Packers. I think it'd be nuts if I Don't know all the math and how likely it is
00:55:26
Speaker
But I do think it would be very nuts if it came down at the end of the season for a playoff spot, Bears Packers. I think that'd be pretty nuts. I don't know how likely that is to happen. I'm sure it's not very likely. Mostly because, again, it's very generous to say that the Bears are in the hunt. And I think the Packers, they're sitting pretty. It's impressive. I mean, it's an off year.
00:55:50
Speaker
And it seems like they're gonna make playoffs it pisses me off, but I mean Wow credit to my credit where credits do I mean they've somehow Figured it out. They did not have a pretty start but they've turned it around and again Jordan Love seems to be on a upward trend, you know, we'll see if he's a Hall of Fame worthy That remains to be seen especially since he hasn't played a full season yet
00:56:15
Speaker
But I mean, he's doing good right now. They're doing good right now. And again, it seems like mostly a cakewalk for them. So I think, again, I'll have to say unlikely. But that would be very crazy if it came down to that last game there. The bears have a chance to ruin that for them. We'll see. We'll see how the bears continue to do. We'll see how the Packers continue to do.
00:56:44
Speaker
that's it for me though guys i think uh... i got nothing else on the bears lions we'll see i think it's going to be a it'll be a good game these these last few games i think uh... we'll see this season is not i mean we're more than halfway we're close to the end of the season and this season has not shook out the way i thought it would uh...
00:57:15
Speaker
This kind of sucks, man. Honestly, now that I'm thinking about it. I don't think any of these games, other than, you know...
00:57:24
Speaker
Because I don't think I need these games other than the Lions and the Packers and maybe the Browns game. I don't think their defense says that good. Again, maybe I'm wrong. I don't think their defense is that good, though. I don't I don't see Justin Fields being able to really cement himself as the guy in these next five games. Even if he balls out every game, you know, I don't maybe he can. Maybe he can. Maybe he'll answer the questions. Maybe he'll shut everyone up.
00:57:54
Speaker
Ideally, I mean at this point, I just I wish we would get the answer one way or the other, you know Because I don't and again, maybe it's my bias, but I don't think I've seen anything out of him that makes me Totally buy out but I'm also again understanding of the people who who who are critical of him and aren't totally bought in Because I don't even think I'm totally bought in on him anymore. At least not with the Bears. I
00:58:20
Speaker
Now, does that mean we should go get Caleb Williams? No, I still don't think we should get Caleb Williams. Not totally sold that he's a generational guy. Maybe he is. He won't be if he comes here. We won't be able to develop him. And he's got some other issues, I think. I think he's got some issues pretty similar. I mean, to say he's another Justin Fields, I don't think so. Some similar issues, some similar comparisons could be made.
00:58:48
Speaker
And even then, some of them are kind of a stretch, some of them are a little fair. But regardless, I don't think he, I mean maybe if you're any other team in the NFL that needs a quarterback, sure. Do you take him? Yeah. Do the Bears take him? No. I don't think the Bears should take him. I don't think the Bears should take any quarterback. Also, I guess if...
00:59:10
Speaker
the the peckers often our defense has been pretty good and I mean our division rival if he could if Justin Fields could for the last game if he's been doing good and he could show out against them I guess that could give him some points I just don't know if it cements him as the guy to to management we'll see
00:59:34
Speaker
Uh, that's just tough. This was truly my worst. This was my worst, uh, fears for this, this season was that we wouldn't know. And we wouldn't be able to fully evaluate Justin Fields, but, um, who knows? Maybe he'll, hopefully he'll prove me wrong. Maybe, I mean, at least in the evaluation part.
00:59:58
Speaker
at least in the evaluation part. Would love to know. Would love to know if he's the guy or not, because this whole back and forth is very frustrating. This has been a very frustrating year. But that's par for the course when you're a Bears fan, right? Par for the course. I don't think I have anything else, guys. I've probably said that already, but I don't think I have anything else. Let's see here.

01:02:53
Speaker
Um, but that's it for me guys. Uh, hopefully this was, uh, again, it's, it's always a little tough. It's a little tough when, uh, to have a, do a solo podcast
Reflecting on Solo Hosting Challenge
01:03:03
Speaker
a lot. I think a lot of, uh, the whole reason I started this was just because of the back and forth that I have with Stein. Um, and I think we have some good conversation and then throwing Isaac in the mix, I think too, was a great idea. Cause he brings a lot of good stuff to the table.
01:03:17
Speaker
Those two are pretty key components of the podcast so when they're not here it's obviously we're missing some elements, but hopefully You know this was still bearable for you. Hopefully you still got to You know get some updates and learn some things Those guys's football knowledge is a little
01:03:40
Speaker
They're a little more adept on their football knowledge than what I have. So yeah, I mean, we should be back to normal next week. The boys should be back in town next week. We should all be back together. Should be back normal. Hopefully, maybe they'll have some corrections for me. Maybe they'll have some opinions. Maybe we'll have a little bit of a longer podcast.
