Hour 2: Do the Bears Have a Chance Against the Eagles Without their Top 2 QBs?

The Bears have a chance because Case Keenum can manage the game and Chicago will run the ball heavily.

The Bears have a legitimate chance if they run the ball, but there is low confidence in Keenum's ability to beat defenses through the air.

Ben Johnson's offense can succeed with Keenum playing point guard and distributing to playmakers, though it will be his first game without a top pick or starting QB.

Case Keenum has not thrown 20 or more air yards since before COVID, reinforcing the expectation that Chicago will run the ball.

The Eagles' offensive line is a weakness, with poor protection and an inability to run effectively, but the team is still 2-0.

Devonta Smith looked like a number-one receiver and carried the offense in the fourth quarter against Tennessee.

The Eagles' offensive line issues are concerning, but the team's ability to win despite them is encouraging.

Dart's injury is a stinging disappointment for the Giants and their fans, leaving the team with no clear path forward at quarterback.

Dart is out for the foreseeable future, and the team will need to make decisions about the rest of the season.

The Bengals have a serviceable defense now, with Dexter Lawrence and other additions making a major impact.

The Bengals' defense is completely different, but Joe Burrow must be protected better to maximize the team's potential.

Joe Burrow is on the level with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, and with a defense, the Bengals are a weapon of mass destruction.

The Bengals need to prove themselves against tougher competition before being placed in the top AFC tier with the Bills and Chiefs.

The NFL has scheduled too many national TV games for teams like the Falcons, Chargers, and Giants, resulting in unappealing prime-time matchups.

The Falcons have not been in the red zone once on offense through two weeks, making their national TV appearances even more questionable.

Shane Steichen's decision to run the ball and settle for a field goal in overtime against the Chiefs was a horrendous mistake that cost the Colts the game.

The Colts' overtime decision was a clear error, and there is no pushback from the panel on that point.

Indiana's schedule is a disgrace because it features six weak opponents early, delaying a true test until October 17 against Ohio State.

Indiana's schedule is weak, but the team could still lose to one of the cream puffs, which would be a fun storyline.

The Steelers are in huge trouble due to poor offensive production, an aging Aaron Rodgers, and a lack of receiving options.

The Steelers need patience because Rodgers and McCarthy are still figuring out their second iteration together, and the team has too much talent to remain this bad.

Patience is warranted because the Steelers have a history of overcoming early struggles and finishing strong.

The Texans are panicking because the defense has given up explosive plays, there is no run game, and CJ Stroud is the only thing keeping them competitive.

Patience is warranted because the division is weak, the team rallied from 0-3 last year, and Stroud is playing well while the defense underperforms.

The Texans need patience because the defense will likely improve, and the division is not as strong as others.

Patience is warranted because Todd Bowles will get the defense playing well, and Baker Mayfield is a chip-on-his-shoulder player who responds to adversity.

Baker Mayfield needs a big game this weekend, and he usually delivers when counted out, but the team could start 0-4 if they lose to Minnesota and Green Bay.

The Buccaneers need patience because the NFC South is weak, and Baker Mayfield will respond to the pressure.
