A few weeks into the latest NFL season, Patrick and Rob aren’t sure what to make of their Chicago Bears. Is it good when your offensive line is going viral for falling on the ground? Are your most important players supposed to have a “team meeting” during “communication week” with the offensive player caller? Why, for god’s sake, can’t this team just be normal for once?
