A lot of companies reach out to me to promote their products. Most of those products aren’t worth promotion. But when I saw what Ballpark Blueprints was offering, I was intrigued. Their designs are unique and understated; perfect for someone who wants to support a particular team without looking like a 12-year-old. Their stuff would make excellent gifts for this coming holiday season.

Here’s how they define themselves:

Ballpark Blueprints captures the distinctive artwork and beauty of sports venues for the sports fan who is looking for a classic, sophisticated, old-school way to display their love for the game. The company was founded in 2001 with an authentic passion for the history and architecture of baseball and has since expanded into other sports lines.

And here is a link of all their Soldier Field gear. Take a look at what they offer.

Until we find out just who is playing this week, it is impossible to write a coherent game preview. So, there will be something up on the site tomorrow pending further information.

My good friend Steph Tracy has a cookie company. The cookies are remarkable. They are not only perfect gifts for the holiday season, but they are also the perfect holiday party bring. Let your clown friends bring cheap wine. You bring killer cookies.

Below are the two variety packs she does this time of year. But you don’t have to stick to what she lays out. She’ll mix and match as you see fit. My recommendations are the coquito, the chocolate gingerbread and the chocolate chunk with toffee. I’ll be sending that combination to several people this month.

If you would like to purchase these cookies, please send an email to cookierevolution@gmail.com by Monday, December 12th, and include any special shipping instructions and deadlines. She’ll even include a personalized note if you want.

Quarter One

• Defense looked noncompetitive on the opening drive. Wide open Jets all over the field.
• Offense moved it well in response, with Trevor Siemian’s accuracy issues the only thing keeping them out of the endzone. When you have Chase Claypool’s size advantage in the end zone, the ball must be elevated. (Siemian also missed throw to Kmet earlier on the drive.)
• Claypool’s integration into the offense is happening slowly, but this quarter showed the advantages of having a receiving threat that can separate from defenders and win 50/50 balls.
• If Velus Jones is only going to run jet sweeps, don’t be surprised when defenses key on it. The Jets knew what play was coming as soon as Jones walked onto the field.
• Very solid quarter for Siemian overall, however. You want your backup quarterback to be a stabilizing force. He’s unlikely to win games but you don’t want him to lose them. Siemian looked the part in the first quarterback.

Quarter Two

• What a catch by Byron Pringle for the touchdown. Blanketed in coverage. Poor throw. But Pringle went and got the football.
• Bears simply can’t get off the field on third downs and the reason is their total lack of pass rush. With the Bears likely to find themselves in the top five or six picks in the draft, it won’t be a reach to seem them look at the edge over wide receiver.
• Jets fumble the field goal attempt, and it leads to a lengthy Benny Hill sketch. The rain is going to be a factor the remainder of the afternoon as a storm is approaching the NYC area. (I know because I just had to turn the lights on in my living room. That’s how dark it’s gotten outside.)
• Siemian trying to sneak the ball off tackle is one of the silliest things you’ll see in an NFL game. After watching Justin Fields over the last month, Siemian looks like he’s operating in slow motion at times.
• Bears let an interception go through their hands and lose Eddie Jackson to a non-contact injury on the same play. Brutal moment. Bears will now play the rest of this game with backups at all over their secondary.
• Joe Davis: “This is a big drive for the Bears.” Is it? Not a single moment of this game feels “big” for the Bears.

Bears down 17-10 at the half. And the difference on offense has been the lack of explosive possibilities. Fields presents a nightmare for opposing for defenses to defend. With Siemian, the game is right in front of them. That’s why the Bears only have 10 points.

Return to the swamp,

these New Jersey Meadowlands.

Don’t eat the plankton!

Justin Fields isn’t playing, and the defense has a bit of Mel Tucker in it these days. So…

Game Prediction

• Mike White is playing for the Jets. I have no idea if Justin Fields is playing for the Bears. How is a prediction even possible?
