"Dog absolutely loving a car ride" is the kind of pure joy we can always use more of, so here you go:
I couldn't believe this either. Just an absurd axe to grind narrative that is so far afield from anything you'd expect
AND THEY GO BACK, AFTER THE GAME, TO SAY CALEB SHOULD HAVE MADE THE 10/10 LAYERED THROW TO WIN THE GAME. ARE YOU KIDDING ME
i cannot believe collinsworth is really trying to shoehorn in a caleb isn’t accurate narrative in the middle of a game that has 80 points and is coming down to the final possession

Scored too soon, SF

If I were a blitzing safety on 3rd down I'd probably just hit the QB if I found myself with a free lane, but then that's just me

It is INSANE that a 38-35 shootout is going on between two top teams and the broadcast is trying to push a "Caleb isn't accurate" narrative in the face of all evidence.

As always, I get if you want to hammer him on missed (though that one was borderline) but he's been lasering balls all night and getting zero credit.
collinsworth really hammering caleb for missing a third-and-long checkdown as he’s been otherwise carving up the 49ers all night. what are you on about, my dude?

Broadcast is weirdly muted on praising Caleb Williams relative to the Purdy slurpfest. Every huge throw they praise the receiver or the coaching.

The Bears being involved in one of the best offensive shootout games of the season is a wild scene for me, someone who once got really excited about Danny Wuerffel's preseason performance

Brock Purdy is basically doing the Homer Simpson "America! Australia! America! Australia!" bullshit for three hours and they're never hitting him

@cjzero.bsky.social if we can get Tirico going straight from the SF deep dish pizza B-roll to Sewell on the cart that would be great but zero pressure obviously

Well well well
Me, next season:

(as soon as I sent it to @jayrigdon.bsky.social he said, "but I really think next season... If they get the hire right..." Can I place the 2025 season bet now?)
Every year my wife overhears my dad and I talking about how good the Bears are gonna be, she asks me to place $50 on the under for the season win total, we tell her she's going to lose her money, and then every year she cashes out and buys a new pair of shoes

Brock Purdy should play receiver
Kind of sickening to watch these hip-hop style running quarterbacks like Brock Purdy try to upstage solid drop back passers like Caleb Williams

Pretty sure NBC was running out of first half ad inventory, that was a crazy long real-time stretch without a commercial break, spanning two timeouts
December 29, 2025 at 2:39 AM
Have wanted a Bears QB to take advantage of free plays my entire life.

NBC should dump Collinsworth for Olsen ASAP
December 29, 2025 at 2:09 AM
Luther Burden might actually be the best WR on the team

@bonejob.bsky.social I've always loved Mizzou football

He's the only QB they talk about it with. I don't think it's a stat that comes up at all for any other game on any broadcast.
i won’t pretend that caleb williams doesn’t have accuracy issues he will eventually have to work through. he does. but this fixation on raw completion percentage in an era where it’s about minimizing negative plays feels like when the national broadcasts used to incessantly rail on analytics

"That's not Valparaiso's downtown square park!"
Just wait until the Bears are playing in Hammond or Plainfield or Gurnee and they still use b-roll of the Bean and the Wiener Circle
December 29, 2025 at 1:46 AM
Watching Bears-49ers with a SF native means every B-roll of the Wharf and Golden Gate elicits a (valid) "That's nowhere near Santa Clara!"
December 29, 2025 at 1:42 AM
His whole pregame had the look of a QB about to throw a pick-six on his first pass of the night.
Brock Purdy chewing gum in the locker room looks like he's about to triple dog dare someone to lick a frozen light pole.
