    A win is a win.

    As a unit, the defense performed as expected against a bad team. The defense needs to learn to wrap the fuck up when tackling. The secondary is still young and rough. It doesn’t really seem to have developed or gelled under Eberflus. Might be due to injuries?

    I still don’t understand the hype around Sanborn (or Kmet). Dude is average at best and made a play against the worst team in the NFL. Then again, I dont really understand how Roquan wasn’t a “scheme fit,” but it’s in the past.

    Media hype/narratives aside, Bagent does not look good, but he looks competent, especially for a rookie. Outside of a few missed throws, it’s clear the Getsy offense is massively limiting for both QBs. With the way the Oline and Foreman have surged, the offense shouldn’t sputter as much or be so screen dependent.

    Looking at the schedule, I think there are at least 2 more wins, whether Fields or Bagent starts. With Fields and Sweat, they should be able to eke one out against the Vikings and bully the Packers.

      Kmet does a lot of the dirty work, can catch, is durable, and wasn’t THAT expensive. What more do you want from a TE? Travis Kelces are a rare breed.

      I’ve thought Kmet to be one of the bright spots in the offense this year. Why do you think he has been overhyped?

      Roquan wasn’t a “scheme fit” because he SUCKED for his last half of the season as a Bear. He was legitimately playing himself out of a contract. That is one of the reasons he got traded and why everyone was fine with it.

      Sanborn isn’t flashy but he makes plays every game, aggressive, around the ball a ton, and is a sure tackler. He’s the lunch pail guy you want one of your linebackers to be.
