Are the Chicago Bears in danger of losing control of the NFC North?

The trade deadline is proving to be really exciting, especially for us as we've all seen individual teams make good moves to better themselves and make a real championship push. Obviously, Jeffrey Simmons for us and some additional moves that we looked into, some moves that Green Bay has kind of made, who cares about them. But realistically, the team that worries me the most just made a move that, although on paper and from an individual standpoint, may not mean much to many, But they were just one competent QB away from making a real run. And what are the chances that the name of that QB will be the one person who's turned into a long-time running joke on this show for the Windy City Breeze? Kirk, you thought, and this is definitely for the P1s here, you thought for one second I was going to let this opportunity pass me by. You have another thing coming. Oh, my God. This is beautiful. Listen, if you knew the shows you would be getting, I'll give you all this. Listen, it's been a long-time running joke. So, my love for Kirk Cunningham. And it literally was just a joke effort that evolved and kept running. This might be a fine example because in all actuality, Kirk Cousins could actually take that team and make a real push, challenge the Bears in the North. That's not even now in all seriousness. That actually brings us to the topic. Can they really challenge the Bears for the North? Yes, they can. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I think that Kirk Cousins is better than Caleb Williams or anything like that. I don't. The guy in the division, my quarterback, that team was 6-2 without a quarterback. They had one who could barely see over the steering wheel, and they had one who threw to everybody in the stadium but the people You get a QB who was top three in touchdown, five in yards, the passing yards so far this season And, oh, let me guess, just to remind you, he's the reason why Justin Jefferson had such a good start to his career Like the 1,400 yards rookie season, I think 1,500 yards sophomore season, 1,800 yards junior season, oh God to say that anyone is more related to have Kirk Cousins there Besides him, he's great. He's finally about to get the ball. And that actually is why they can play. The Vikings actually have everything that they need to make a push And this is also why I feel like, while we may not say it in a minute, **** them picks is definitely what Brian Posey is looking at because you needed that defense right there. This defense for the Vikings, it's the entire reason they have six points. It's the entire reason they're even in the conversation. And you just got them shock to the system. Bringing somebody who is good enough, dynamic enough to win games and make moves good enough to keep that defense up here, keep that offense moving, yeah, it's a problem. And now, it makes me look at our next matchup with Justin Jefferson because no matter how much pressure we were able to get, we still suck. And right now, Justin Jefferson has somebody to give him the ball, where only he can get it. That worries me. Now, it doesn't mean that we won't be able to get pressure. Jeffrey Simmons wasn't there at first. You know, I would love to be with that one. I would love We actually get a chance to see what Kirk Cousins is going to look like in other elite defenses, if you want to call them that, in the Green Bay game. But all this does, all this tells you is, hey, you have a team that's 6-2, who we all knew just didn't have a quarterback. You get one that not only has familiarity with the Cleveland, he actually is already pretty good. I mean, that's what makes it seem like he wasn't playing well for the Raiders. He was. The Raiders' record is not because of Kirk. Many people will say that. That's not just Pete in his humor and just blazing. No, he's playing solid. He drafted the number one overall pick. Eventually, the kid has to play. He's playing good enough that he garnered a third. They traded for him. He gave up a third. Don't give up a third round. He definitely don't give up a third. I mean, I get that, right? He's not packed. Josh Allen, his statistics and what he's been putting on the field. Yeah, you give up a third. You give up thirds. You give up games. People who should have an impact. You give up picks. And so here's the reality of it. If we're going to maintain the North, if we're going to keep the North, we're going to have to go through all of our traditional traits, right? We have to beat and win the last matchup against the Vikings and the Packers. And the Packers, I'm expecting, I mean, that Robbie, we hate them, they hate us. It is what it is. Vikings, number one defense in the league. So if you want to really put that into perspective, play Seattle, play Tampa, which is either two or three, depending on what you're going on. And then you have Vikings, and then you have the QB, like those playmakers. And this is just, this is not fear-mongering. I don't want it to be like, oh, I think we're going to lose. This is just being real about the opportunity that we have, and the opportunity that Caleb had to really set foot, to continue his story, being the guy, not just for us in the family, but in the NFL. Because, again, I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I said it on my channel, go over there, PK, but I'll say it here. The Super Bowl winners coming through, whoever wins the North, it's coming through them. No matter what, that's how much faith I have in the Bears. It's also how much respect I have for the other organizations that are not my direct rival in the game. For the changes they've made to better their organization, to get the right people in place. We can be fans and die hard fans of our city and our team. Also, take a look at the team. We've got a challenge there. NFC North, man. I'll say it once, and I'll say it again. Brady would not have won as many Super Bowls if he had to go through. NFC North is the way Caleb is going to have to go through. None of these teams are particularly old. Kirk Cousins is playing at a high level. He's going to play like this the next two, three years, maybe a little more, depending on how he keeps himself up. We're seeing he can play longer. He's going to take a lot of hits. The offensive line protects well. The gauntlet is here, and it's going to be a battle. Now, every game matters, not just because we need to maintain it. We're going to have to go 4-0 against anybody in our division to beat Dan Campbell twice. We have not. Ben Johnson has not beaten him twice. What is the journey? I want to hear your thoughts, man. Do you feel like this acquisition of Kirk Cousins, and I know many of you are not going to agree, Listen, it's going to be a challenge for my team. It's going to be a challenge that we need to go through and that we can't overcome. I have no faith. I have no doubt that we can overcome it. I have no doubt that we can beat I have no doubt that Caleb is a better quarterback. No doubt that Ben Johnson will be the better coach. And that our defensive coordinator, Ben, is going to have our guys ready to put pressure on someone like Kirk to give us that opportunity. No doubt. I'm looking forward to it. I hope you are too. Listen, with this level, let's say put in the fact, I will be in there with you. Until next time.
