#Bears at #Commanders in Week 8 - on Oct. 27 - has been moved to 3:25 pm (from noon) with the CBS crew of Jim Nantz & Tony Romo on the call.

So, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, impressive rookie quarterbacks, will be in the spotlight for a huge national TV audience.

That is going to be a big party at my house.  The wife is a HUGE Redskins (she refuses to call them commanders like most of thier fans) fan.  I wont be able to live with her if the Bears lose.  She will have to move out.

I can visualize that.

Another step in the growth of this team will be to see if this team can not pull a Lucyball game after the bye. This season has started to have some very special moments though (Cole Kmet, first longsnapper to be NFC Special Teams player of the week etc). As of now this does not feel like the teams we've seen recently....

The Bears won the game after the bye week last year, beating the Lions 28-13.

It was the first time they won the game after the bye week since 2013, when they beat the Packers 27-20.

The Oline is going to be this reason this season comes crashing down if anything. The defense is fine enough without giving resources away that need to be used to get a better oline (and ejecting that Oline coach would probably also help).....

Anyone think there’s credibility to the rumors Poles is interested in Max Crosby?

Of course he would complete the defense.  He’s 27 so is young enough but all the stars will come up for contract around the same time.

There’s a lot of chatter about interest but I don’t know if any is from credible sources.

I sure hope so.  If he is not intersted he shouldn't be a GM.  I am sure he is interested in a bunch of players.  If the price is right he would pull the trigger.  If the price is too high he will stand pat.

Is Crosby enough better than Sweat to justify the difference in the price paid for each, assuming the estimates of two first round plus are accurate?
