Good luck y'all!
Dunno if this is the game we finally get y'all but it'll be interesting.
-we've recently relied heavily on the running game but Damien Williams just went out with COVID and David Montgomery is out - Khalil Herbert is a nice rookie who can handle the load but we've got two practice squad players backing him up.
-Fields has been fun, he seems to really understand the rivalry and our current space within it. He's still figuring out the speed of the game but when he has time, he's a big play hunter. If it turns to obvious passing downs, we're suspect and will give up a lot of sacks (Fields holds onto the ball long looking for big plays and our tackles are super weak). He's physically and mentally tough but it's going to be really interesting how he does against y'all
-on defense our front 7 is humming - probably better than even in 2018 but our secondary outside of Jaylon Johnson is beyond suspect. Stafford and the Rams just went off against us but we've rebounded well since then. Mack, Quinn and Gibson all get after the QB well and Hicks has been super important in stopping the run but he's pretty banged up.
-there was a level of physicality last week that I haven't really seen before from the Bears and imo it starts with Fields. Pretty sure you guys are gonna do what you always do to us tomorrow and the fact that Williams is out makes my faith in the upset that much lower.
Hope it's a well played game with no major injuries on either side.

Appreciate the perspective and kind words. Think you guys got a good one in Fields and if they fire Nagy you might have something
