I was apprehensive about signing a defense-oriented coach when it was clear that the focus should’ve been on Fields and the offense, since the defense looked fine at the time of his hiring. Thing is, Eberflus really hasn’t done anything since to make me think that was the right decision, and the defense seems no better than it was before he was hired, to say nothing of how the offense has been. I still believe Fields has the ability to be our franchise QB, but he lacks the tools and coaching at this time. As others have said, having Caleb Williams in the same spot wouldn’t likely yield much different results at game’s end with the current coaching staff.

He cried after both‽ ^^^/s

No particular game is my “first memory,” in that I was always aware of being a Bears fan, even though I didn’t know what was happening, but the Sunday tradition of going to Whitey’s in the DC area starting in second grade was something I looked forward to each week. All our games blend together in my memories of going there, tbh. While we did watch our games at Atlanta and Washington in person, which remain my only NFL games I’ve personally attended, it wasn’t until that playoff loss to the Eagles in the '01 season that a solid memory comes to mind, since my dad had promised to take me to see us play Green Bay if we’d’ve won, that really cements itself as my first Bears memory, to the extent that when we played the Eagles in the playoffs after the 2018 season, my gut told me what the result would be…

Our game in Washington in '01 is when I learned that scoring a safety is a thing, since seeing a five on the scoreboard led me to ask my dad how that’s possible

The Browns have won two different leagues’ Championships, since they won the AAFC every year
