I know I am. I fully expect this team to come back across the pond 3 - 4. It'll make that real home game on the 27th against Green Bay a ton of fun. Imagine going 0 - 4 and turning back around and breaking even at 4 - 4 by the end of this month.

We're right there. I know it's one game at a time. But, it really feels like this team is going to get it turned around and trending in the right direction finally. Once this defense gets Campbell and Oluokon back we'll be cooking with gas as well. Cannot say that enough. We really need those two guys back out there ASAP.

Literally half of our struggles in coverage will go away with them back in the line-up.

The green bay game should be fun , if we lose I guarantee there will be the return of that weird packers fan we saw in the pre season.
Would love for us 2 win

The Bears and Patriots are very one dimensional football teams on offense. 

They expect Williams to carry their offense. They have a very hard time running the football. Caleb is averaging 34 attempts per game at the moment and it's a lot of quick stuff. He averages about 5 rushing attempts per game on his own. He's put the ball on the ground 3 times. There's some opportunities today to get after him, confuse him, fluster him, etc. 

When we look at the Patriots. A bit of an unknown with Drake Maye getting the nod, but, we can tell their offensive line is a problem and they clearly want to be a run first offense and predominantly stay away from having to air it out to win games. Brissett never had a game this season where he threw for more than 168 yards and he was sacked and hit religiously. 

The fact that they chose to give Drake Maye his first start today in New England against the tinhorns and DeMeco Ryans is a little interesting and risky in my opinion. Especially after his defense got after Caleb Williams earlier this year and really made him look bad at times.
