NFL: Miami Dolphins at Chicago Bears Eileen T. Meslar-USA TODAY Sports

The Chicago Bears knocked off the Miami Dolphins in what turned out to be a fun preseason opener, but the final score (20-13) wasn’t the big takeaway form this afternoon. The big takeaway is that Justin Fields looked like the guy the Bears drafted at 11 overall. He didn’t play a flawless game, but his performance broadened the hope that so many Bears fans currently have knowing that they have a quarterback of Fields’ potential.

My latest T Formation Conversation podcast saw me taking on the postgame duties for the WCG Channel, so here are my good, bad, and ugly bullet points from the show.

  • Justin Fields’ decision making
  • Khyiris Tonga and the defensive line
  • Alec Ogletree
  • Caleb Johnson
  • Charles Snowden
  • Newly signed OT Jason Peters
  • The offensive line
  • Chicago's secondary
  • Wide receiver’s separation
  • Matt Nagy’s play calls
  • Special teams
  • Cole Kmet’s hurdle
  • Javon Wims and Riley Ridley
  • Captain Adam Shaheen (lol)

Give it a listen and let me know what you think about the Bears big win.
