Another great post which I unfortunately once again cannot take credit for.
I can contribute one thing, however. I am an example of the counterfactual to the post @timcushing.bsky.social criticizes. I'm at least as conservative as I am liberal, yet here I am.

I would have thought this was impossible, but I watched every single one of these games....
Only one NFL QB since 1950 has lost more than five consecutive starts in which he threw zero interceptions.
That one is Caleb Williams. He hasn't thrown an INT in eight straight games.
The Bears have lost all of them.
