Although I’m writing this Sunday morning at 9:45 EST, I’m fairly confident I’ll be 0-2 in both Math Hard! and Freezer Vodka-I know my limits. Hope you’re doing better than I am.

To The Game!

Bears/Houston:

-The Caleb I saw in preseason did not match the one that played in the opener. The latter seemed flummoxed by defensive coverages which is to be expected one would think. Still, he was certainly more decisive in his reads and throws in that preseason tilt.

-As one would expect, Keenan Allen is injured already with a heel thingy. The rook Rome Odunze also had some problems but may be able to go. Luckily Chicago is fairly deep at wr and D.J. Moore is more than capable of handling some extra work.

-Accuracy, thy name is Stroud. If his completion rate reaches 75% this evening he will be only the second fella (Brady was the first, of course) to reach that number in four straight games.

-Mixon made me look like a smart hominid (not an easy thing to do!) when I ventured that a change of scenery would rejuvenate him. He was the first rb to run for 150+ yards and a TD on the opening weekend since Arian Foster did it in the year of our Goodell, 2010. Let’s not burden the old fella with 30 touches again though, okay?

-Chicago got the win last week but it was far from conventional. Depending on TD returns and pick sixes to dig oneself out of a 17 point deficit is not something that can be done on the regular. Should they be jockeying for a wild card berth towards the end of the season they can thank their unlikely Week One win for keeping them in the mix.

Type your life away.
