Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: The main talking point for this game is Matt Nagy’s decision to rest his starters based on a good week of practice.
Man, we talkin’ ‘bout practice.
We’ve heard about a “good week of practice” before and it meant diddly. I will say though, in this case, I don’t mind the decision right now.
The fact is, I don’t think we can judge this decision until Sept. 9. If the Bears come out flat and the offense is out-of-sync and the defense looks messed up, then this decision will look idiotic.
