What the Chicago Bears are doing tonight inside the home of the reigning Super Bowl champions, against arguably the best defense in football, is truly special.
They are the favorites of the NFC and it doesn’t feel particularly close.
Caleb Williams left some meat on the bone that first half. There’s at least two throws to Luther Burden he’d probably like back and that deep shot to Rome Odunze right before half he put too much on.
Bears offense has to work on converting the explosives.
I would be absolutely stunned if Nick Sirianni survives the bye week. And if next Sunday is anything like last night, he will be out as coach before the Sunday Night game starts.
If they like Sean Mannion as much as they say they do, the remaining season will be his trail run, where he controls his offense without getting orders from anyone else.
Putting feelings to the side, I do think it would be a wise business decision to move off a soon-to-be 30 year old RB with that contract…
BUT!
Keeping Saquon tells me that the team believes they will be back to contending next year, which I am not sure we all thought would be the case given how this current season is trending + the uncertainty in some positions.
The #Eagles could go in several directions at the trade deadline, but one thing is clear: Saquon Barkley won't be part of it.

It’s so rare when the Eagles score in the first quarter under the Nick Sirianni era, that when they actually do, they act like they just won the Super Bowl.
I appreciate the passion, but no reason to be celebrating like that after your opening script.
Criticize Howie Roseman all you want, but there is no better general manager in the sport when Roseman’s back is against the wall.
All of you wanted him fired in 2020, yet he proceeded to deliver the greatest five-year stretch in franchise history.
Miss me with any slander.
