Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. There are bad teams, There's a lot of them. It's not that the Bears look bad. They look broken. It's not like, oh, that wasn't their day yesterday, or tough breaks. It was a total start to finish malfunction. The energy is flat, the effort is flat. The body language it's almost offensive. Caleb is a mess, is a mess. Nobody's open, and if they are, he misses them. It feels like a defender if not two, has just a free sprint at him every single time he tries to pass. You watch games on Sunday and there are teams that don't play well, and there are teams that lose, and then you watch the Bears and you say, what the hell is this. It's not that they lost, it's not even that they have a four and five record.

It just feels like they have no shot.

It just feels like they have no shot.

It feels like they're not being properly run, packaged, or produced. And as always with this fan base, there is a sickening feeling of familiarity. My man Sylvie was on this. Jay Cutler was sacked eight times once, Justin Feels was sacked nine times once and now Caleb the difference maker joins the club.

It's not different.

There's nothing different going on. Here's the emotional scale. I got tracked the whole thing. After the Commanders and the Hail Mary. There was denial, like this isn't happening. We're four and three, We're fine. After the Cardinals loss, that was anger. That was rage. That was guys punching their TVs and throwing them out the window.

I don't want to watch the Bears. Fans in Soldier Field, like these guys did the same thing. When the Bears started the game with four out of five punts and start their game, they booed. When they started the second half with four straight punts, they bued and then they just left. They left en mass The only thing that Bears are beating right now is traffic. That is a massive scene against the Patriots.

But I will say this, I prefer to be an optimist if you watch the game, though, I also refuse to be a liar. And if you are someone from the get go who said they're gonna blow this, They're gonna break Caleb.

The Chiefs don't do any of that craft it's incredible. It's slow, it's not interesting. You don't get the Tyreek Hill bomb, you don't get the crazy Kelsey highlight. You're not getting the Nolak pass. It's kind of boring. It's kind of clunky, but in the end it still works. Like you can't make Jaws right now, you can't make Alien right it's too slow.

We play something called defense. We make sneaky plays here to move the chains. We don't blow up the box score. We don't win your fantasy league. We don't show up in all the highlights. We just show up in the win column. It's like a movie that makes no money and no one.

I have to stand up and show respect for one of my new favorite forty nine Ers, Tabor Pepper. Tabor Pepper is the long snapper for the forty nine Ers. He's been in the league and around the league since Steve O. Samuel was in college. And in the middle of a really tough game for the forty nine ers young kicker, he stepped in and got in front of the star wide receiver and said, don't talk to the kicker.

It's hard being a specialist, and a young developing specialist like Jake is the best mental exercise you can have. Is I don't know if it gets better than missing three straight having a step in it hit almost fifty yard game winner.

Samuel, single person on the forty nine ers offense and defense and coaching staff was frustrated with the kicker. You go over and you chirp them something about come on, make it. I like that the long snappers stepped in and stick the hell out here.

This Commanders team has had a good run. I think they'll continue to have a good right. I think they'll go to the playoffs. They'll probably win ten games. They don't have the talent that Philadelphia does, and I think you saw that late in the game.

He closed it with two touchdowns and Manti touched on this And I'm starting to get pissed off on this because I'm a running back purist and a running back loyalist. That's my favorite position in the sport. We are having an MVP season taking away from Saquon Barkley right now because of the damn Tush push.
