00:00Bears can put basically a bullet in this preseason.
00:04They've been fantastic.
00:06They win 38-0 was the final yesterday.
00:09My gosh, what in the world happened to Buffalo, I guess we should be asking here.
00:13But Caleb Williams, 184 passing yards, Donnie, 11 of 18 from the field.
00:19I don't know that it means a thing, but it does give them confidence going into the season, I would imagine.
00:25Yeah, you needed to see something good out of Caleb Williams in that game
00:28because you understood the importance of that.
00:30Not that the Buffalo Bills even got on the plane to go play that game, Craig.
00:33They got beat soundly, didn't play very many starters,
00:36and that's the way they took that as a non-serious game.
00:38But the Bears were opposite here.
00:39They wanted to get that flow.
00:40You saw that here.
00:41Get some really good reps and get out of the game healthy, which is exactly what the Bears did.
00:44For me, I'm not saying the Bears would be like a buy-on team entering into the season,
00:48but you have my favorite offensive play caller in the NFL, now as your head coach,
00:53with an exciting offense.
00:54What's not to like for the Bears fans and to get excited on the season?
00:57It's a very tough division to win in a very tough NFC,
01:00but that's not how we're grading it this year for the Bears.
01:02If the Bears don't make the playoffs, that doesn't mean it's not a success.
01:05Everything comes down to Caleb Williams and how he can perform,
01:08and I think if we just take those baby steps, and he learns under Ben Johnson
01:11and follows that tutelage, why can't he be a great quarterback in the NFL?
01:14The intrigue is high right now for me, Craig, on those Chicago Bears.
01:17Yeah, and plus 550 right now to win the division.
01:20Those odds are kind of short when you consider teams that are projected to finish last
01:24in all divisions, plus 550 is nothing to sneeze at.
01:28Vikings plus 290, Green Bay plus 250, and Detroit plus 155 over on FanDuel.
01:34Meanwhile, if you're looking for a narrative to bet this week, Donnie,
01:38that's betting the Buffalo Bills in their final preseason game.
01:41I got to tell you, that would be something I would be interested in,
01:44because if Sean McDermott is upset about a preseason performance,
01:48I would only imagine that he's going to be playing week three to win, right?
01:52I mean, by the way, they gave up over 500 yards of offense,
01:56and we know in the preseason, outside of maybe the starters, there's no game plan.
01:59It's like, hey, let's just see what happens.
02:01They were a game like 5-1 in that game.
02:03It's never a good performance, especially McDermott.
02:05He's not an offensive guy.
02:06Say, hey, I didn't have my starters out there.
02:07He's a defensive guy, and his defense got turned into a sieve there in that preseason game.
02:12It's never a good look.
02:13It's like, hey, we got beat.
02:14Can we just have a good showing before we get to the regular season?
02:16Even though the scoreboard doesn't matter, but the coaches, it does really matter.
02:20They don't like to be embarrassed in any way, shape, or form.
