Week 11 - Bears (5-4) vs Baltimore (4-5) - 12:00 PM, CBS

[rawaction]

Steelers doing whatever they want against the Lions so the division won't get more away from us.

 

We lose a game to make up a deficit so I consider that a loss. 2 games behind with 6 to play and Rodgers aiming to come back next week.

Silver lining. Doesn't mean [expletive], but silver lining nonetheless. Wildcard is the real goal anyway.

I'm not really sure what the rules are on suspended/delayed games, if they can be made up in the future, or what. I know the Bears already had their bye, so?

They should have never started the game on time. Stay safe, guys.

Might as well lose the rest of the way to get the best possible pick. What pick would Bears get if they end up 5-11? Is that good enough for like 6th or so? Edited November 17, 2013 by Splendid Splinter

Yeah tornado was sighted in the general area before kickoff.

The game isn't over. It's just suspended until the weather stops. It will be completed today.

 

Not a ton of precedent for a game starting, being suspended and unable to be completed that day. I don't know if it's ever happened. But if it did I imagine it would be played the next day.

They're not going to lose out but I imagine 5-11 would get you somewhere around picks 5-8.

Its a pretty short list, and it doesn't look like any game which has started on one date has ever been moved to another date. The contingency would probably be Tuesday if something resulted in Soldier Field being unplayable.

Wouldn't that mean Cutler's exit? If the Bears are in a position to draft a top flight QB, Jay has to be gone, right? Not saying this is right or wrong, just how it seems it will shake down.

damnit, Detroit keeps getting lucky to stay in the game. they're going to win easily.

[Cubswin11]

Redzone guy just said they are saying the earliest the game will resume is an hour, but could be longer.

[Guest]

Detroit's within 3. gonna be a blowout in the second half. Detroit just doesn't lose anymore.

[UMFan83]

Steelers couldn't even make it to halftime with the lead lol

At the earliest, 2:25 PM CT. Don't think it'll happen that early either because the second band of storms looks equally nasty.

I assume Jay doesn't play if they end up 5-11, so they could possibly bring him back cheaper.

 

I assume they'll end up 8-8, picking around 15-20.

Most likely, but it would be a lot easier to put a non-exclusive tag (i know I've said it multiple times already) on Cutler. A 1 yr 12.5 mil deal (if Cutler doesn't sign to an offer sheet from another team) is still good for a QB like Cutler and still be able to sign players.

Somewhat irrelevant but...Garzas gotta go

[Omar]

So, any projection on when this game will restart?

[d_money]

Always encouraging to hear that a fan did run out on the field during the delay

[Guest]

in about 15 minutes

The field wasn't covered during the delay, so it'll be a total mess

Definitely.

[Guest]

doesn't look like a total bog. if you show anything in super slow motion, it's going to look bad.
