I’ve done my best to never get too high or too low with this year’s Bears team. Whether it was after the embarrassing Detroit loss or the thrilling Dallas blowout win, I’ve tried to always remember that this is just year one of Ben Johnson’s tenure, and that his process is going to take some time to fully set in and revamp the culture.

The Chargers were dominated at home by the Colts. “Charger Power” unfortunately did not help the team despite playing in front of their home fans and a halftime ceremony to honor former tight end Antonio Gates.

After watching ourcomplete meltdown in Minnesota, I’ve had enough. I said after the Michigan game that Matt Rhule would “probably” need to make some tough decisions this offseason.
