all right we welcome into the show from the athletic football show one of my go-to

podcasts and a good friend robert maize i got a game for you robert i try to up my game

every time you come on i feel like i really got got to bring it. So here's the game.

The game is I'm going to give you some opinions from week one, a lot from the NFC North.

And I want you to either say, you nailed it dog or I don't know, man.

Those are your two options for every one of these opinions, okay?

You nailed it dog or I don't know, man. And those are

the only two ways you can answer. And then obviously we'll talk about why, okay? All right. I'm in.

I'm in. Let's do it. Okay. Okay. Let me start off with this. I don't think we know a whole lot about

the NFC North yet, despite the results maybe telling us we do, except for, I don't think I

can take the Chicago Bears that seriously. Are you in, yeah, dog, or I don't know, man?

I don't know, man. It's week one with a new coaching staff. It's week one period. I think that

I still have a kernel of hope about taking the bear seriously because I've seen what Ben Johnson has been able to do over multiple years in Detroit.

And I also think that the defense played pretty darn good for like three quarters of that game without your two best defensive backs, arguably.

So I still have like a small candlelit for this team being at least competent

over the course of the year. But I feel like some of the early returns, especially on the

offense, are about as worrying as they can be. But I'm never going to set anything in stone

after one week. That's what I would say. Okay, I think that that is very fair,

especially the part about, I mean, playing without your corners, although we all had a pick six for

Nashon Wright. It had to be the Nashon Wright revenge game against the Vikings. What I saw watching

back that game was a lot of receivers that were there. And I guess you could look that as one of two ways.

Caleb Williams couldn't hit them, which is bad, but also they were open, which is good, that Ben Johnson's stuff, I think, was working.
