Agreed, but bad in its own way.

so well short of carl lewis then?
Maybe the Lions hype was real. I think KC wins a rematch most of the time, but the Lions played well.

Yep. Given that they are in the NFC North, they have a real shot at a division title.
Lions defense looked better than they were last year, but got bailed out by a lot of KC drops.
KC certainly missed Kelce and Chandler Jones…but that’s how football goes.
I still think the Lions aren’t much better than the 0.500 team, but KC might struggle if this is how their WRs play all year.
NFC central will be very interesting this year.
10-7 might win the NFC North
missing kelce hurts of course. the nfl meme post about “this turned into a pick 6” was insane. no jones hurts the defense.
but on the road in KC, the lions moved the ball easily in the 4th quarter. that’s not good for KC.
if the refs start calling the right tackle for illegal formation or false starts more often, then even more bad things will happen.
Biggest factor imo.
I would also put out there the D’s inability to effectively stop the run at the end; but they looked like they were gassed by the 4th quarter (a direct consequence to the dropped passes and the O not able to stay on the field long enough to get points on the board).
i thought the 4th and 25 KC play that failed had one important thing go badly for KC - it went the 9 seconds needed to get the clock to 2:00. So the change of possession stopped clock was also the 2min warning. KC needed those both and it cost them a time out. (then they didn’t stop the lions on offense and maybe it didn’t matter.)
Fox Pregame - Bradshaw & Johnson look like they are 3 inches shorter than their listed heights, that is a lot of shrinkage
I WAS IN THE POOL!

9-8 might win the NFC South IMO
Aaron Rodger’s was known for saying “Green 19” as one of the indicators to snap the ball.
Is the Bears’ Fields saying the same thing or something different?
I know it was only week 1 but I think that it is time to panic on the Bears season.
There were no improvements at all from the offseason. DJ Moore and Chase Claypool amounted to 2 catches for 25 yards combined. Fields did not look like an NFL passer. Both lines played poorly. This team is still bad, and what should have been a modest step forward for Fields was a disaster. If he cannot produced better than 5.8 yards per attempt at home against what should be a mediocre Packers team, I think that he will end this season as an official bust, and it’s back to using the 2024 first rounder(s) to pick another QB of the future.
I was a little angry about the starters playing into final minutes of a blowout loss. They had Fields pass for a screen to Mooney and Mooney got shellacked. The game was out of reach, why would you still be attempting dangerous pass plays? The answer, I believe, is that Eberflus wants to pad Fields’ stats to make people feel better about themselves. Eberflus is in over his head. Fields is not an NFL worthy QB. The Bears are bereft of talent all over the place. Fire the GM. Fire the coach. Fire the girls that carry the Gatorade trays. Start over.
You heard it here first.

I hope they don’t get relegated.
But, a brand new stadium should make everything all better, right? Right??
Important to keep the billionaires billionaires without spending their own money.
Looking at the Master Plan: these people don’t seem to know the origin of the word, “Tailgating.” There is a green field, not a parking lot, for tailgating. So, picnicking.
I think it is at least a 5 to 9 year process for the Bears to actually move into a new stadium.
There are significant political hurdles to overcome, and that is an understatement.
Also, the McCaskey family that owns the Bears are the poorest billionaires in the league. They own virtually nothing aside from the NFL franchise, so they don’t have billions lying around for building a stadium, the way that the Rams owner had.
True, she’s only worth $2 billion (source: internet). She’d be worth more if she sold it to another billionaire.
You can change everything you want, the end result will still be the same. Anyone that is brought into this organization becomes instant crap. It’s like the reverse of the Midas touch. I’m pretty sure this is the exact reason the universe did not allow Patrick Mahomes to go to Chicago. The guy would be bagging groceries for a living right now if that had happened.
Not sure why he’d do that with $30M in his pocket (minus taxes, and assuming he doesn’t spend too much of it).
