It is time for Chris Sims to join us here on God Bless Football, presented by Fandul and the Fandul's Sportsbook.

He is Mr. Thursday night.

We are going to throw out last Thursday.

It was a weird day.

He made the picks on a Wednesday.

He is 11 and 1 when there was an isolated game on Thursday night. Does that sound good to you since? That sounds good. I know, listen, I was sitting there on Thanksgiving day going, damn, I'm not Mr. Thursday on Thanksgiving. That's for sure. But I doubt very few or very many people were, right? At first I was going, hey, I picked the Packers to beat the Lions. Here we go. And then, you know, Kansas City couldn't move the ball for an hour and a half at a time. And that was like, uh-oh. And then, you know, who would have saw, and I knew that was a coin flip game. Definitely didn't have the guts to pick the Bengals. But that was incredible to watch them win that football game. And then really, to me, the shocker of the weekend was the fact that the Bears just smashed it down the throat of the Philadelphia Eagles defense play after play after play. That was amazing to me. So it was an awesome weekend. But yeah, I wouldn't have been made a lot of money on those first four games there. Well, waiting that first game is always dangerous, right? Because then people are confident. They're like, oh, Sims knows what the fuck he's talking about. This guys are fine. They start doubling down. They're betting more than they should probably, you know? Probably. I probably screwed some people over. I'm sorry about that. What I, Mike, he's pointing at himself.

What I love about the Chicago Bears and what I love about Ben Johnson in particular is he's

never satisfied. After beating Philadelphia, who does he call out the offensive Caleb Williams?

And that's the, those are the people that he's in charge of of making good. And so I love that about Ben Johnson because he is willing to call out and never satisfied. That's right. I mean, he's like, I always say this on my show is right. He's a psycho. He's a psycho in a good way. It's just, it's, it's never going to stop. It's football all the time. Oh, we could have been a little bit better. You could have ran that route a little bit better. You could have thrown this ball a little

bit better. I could design better plays. That's the way Shanahan, McVeigh, right? They're all psychos that way. So yes, it's constantly pedal to the metal, needling your team, doing that. And I think within that too, right, I think it's calculated if you ask me with Ben Johnson a little.

And then one, he knows this is a problem. Two, I think he says it to kind of make a statement to his team and Caleb Williams. I think three, he also looks, he looked at Green Bay film and he went, whoa, wait, hold on. I'm not going to be able to run the ball down their throats like I did the Philadelphia Eagles. They're a little different this way. We're going to have to throw the ball

to win this football game at at least at a better capacity than which they've been doing.

So I think that was also intended because he knows the past game's got to make some plays this

week. But yeah, I am with you. And I love that about Ben Johnson. Hey, you heard me say last year. I thought Ben Johnson was the most slam dunk, higher, good coach there was going to be, right? And you're seeing the effects of what he's doing with the Bears. And you're seeing the effects of what it's done to the Detroit Lions. Is there a Ben Johnson this season? Is there a coach? No. Nope. Nobody like that. No, I don't think there's anybody like Ben Johnson or Liam Cohn. I didn't put Liam Cohn quite in the hierarchy of Ben Johnson last year, but I still was like, damn, Liam Cohn. His offense is amazing. I don't see how it's really going to fall apart here. I expected them to do good things in

Jacksonville. But yeah, I don't think there's anybody at least on the offensive side of the

ball this year that you look to be in that same category. We got some defensive guys that are

out there certainly, but no, no offensive geniuses that I think are slam dunks like Ben Johnson.

Just with Ben, I think it's all calculated. And I think that's in part what makes him a great coach because he's not going to let them feel like they're better than they actually are. Like he's all he's saying in that spot is, hey, I know we're off to a good start. I know we exceeded expectations. We haven't done anything yet. You're not nearly as good as you thought you were. That's it. And they're tough and chippy because of him. Because he's tough and chippy, right?

That's what we And they're tough and chippy because of him because he's tough and chippy, right?

That's what he is. And usually as we've talked about a lot, teams take on the personality of their coach more times than not. And look at it. You look at good football teams they usually do. Look at what the New England Patriots of Mike Vrable. You think they've taken his attitude and how he plays a little bit?

Of course, right? Shanahan's a psycho. What are the 49ers? There are a bunch of psychos running around hitting each other. So that's usually how it goes down and Ben's rubbed off on his football team. I was telling the guys right before you came on, what makes Rabel such a great coach whether he actually cares about

the individual players or not he knows enough about them and gives off that he cares about them to
