Not Historic

Oh, but it is.

Who is the most historic NFL team?

One of only two charter members of the NFL still in existence, the Chicago Bears have played the most games (1,435) and recorded both the most wins (783) and ties (42) in NFL regular season history, as of the end of the 2021 NFL season.

And now they have added one more of each.

Game 1 for 4 Bears' draft picks:

2nd round S Jaquan Brisker: played every snap, 4 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 FR

2nd round CB Kyler Gordon: played every snap, 6 tackles, 1 TFL

5th round LT Braxton Jones: played every snap

5th round DE Dominque Robinson: 7 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 QB hits

Not bad.

The Historic Bears are in the first year of a rebuild. They play the 49ers at home and are 6.5 point underdogs. Will they cover the spread? Any chance of an upset victory?

What say the Pen?

Up next Packers at Green Bay. Bears are 9.5 underdogs.

You think they can make it to 0-18?

playoff loss!

[Ken]

Finishing the season with an 0-17 record would be historic.

Hope they exceed expectations.

I'd give a small chance for an upset victory since Trey Lance having a catastrophically bad first game is certainly possible. Admittedly, if I were betting, I'd take the Niners to cover. Overall, I think the Niners have better offensive weapons to support their young QB, and are better against the run.

Another piece of good news:

Eberflus picked up his first win of the season Wednesday when defensive end Robert Quinn participated in practice on Day 1 of training camp and made clear he wants to be in Chicago despite offseason whispers that he planned to ask for a trade.

"Yeah," Quinn said Wednesday when asked if he wanted to be a Bear. "I never expected to go anywhere."

I am glad to see the Bears finally signed some offensive line help.

Riley Reiff Right Tackle- allowed 4 sacks and only had 1 penalty.

Michael Schoefield Guard but can also play tackle - allowed 2 sacks and had only 3 penalties in 15 games last year.

Right?! I was shocked to read this.

Is Pace so stubborn that he would rather jeopardize his current fresh start by helping get this group together. It didn't work the first time. Why would it now.

Because they are now officially HISTORIC players and the Falcons don't have much that is HISTORIC about them. It's only a matter of time until the Falcons become HISTORIC in their own right.

[Gregg]

Sorry Falcons fans.
