FREE DA JERSEY - Week 15 Bears @ Lions, Saturday Afternoon for some reason 3:30 PM CT, NFL-N

[jersey cubs fan]

Every team that doesn't play on Thursday would get 2 full weeks off.....the way they do now during BYE weeks.

 

32 teams. 2 teams per game. So you'd need 16 Thursday games to make every team have the same BYE length. But since you can't have BYES the first 2 weeks and the last handful are too late in the year for a bye, you'd have some teams that don't get scheduled on TNF. Those teams would still need a BYE.......where they'd be getting 2 weeks off, because they are not playing a Thursday game.

 

 

Well they only actually get 1 full week off, as they have a full week of practice following the bye. I don't see any reason to try and balance BYE length. I think you're overthinking it here. You have your bye week, and some of those teams exit the bye with a Sunday game, some exit with a Thursday game and then 10 days until your next game.

 

 

If you have a BYE in week 5, you play the Thursday of week 6, then the Sunday/Monday of week 7. Or, you have a bye week 5, play the Sunday/Monday of week 6 and Sunday/Monday of week 7.

I'm guessing they are just broadcasting the NFL Network production as has been the case previously.

don't nbc and cbs switch off producing thursday night football/NFL Network broadcasts now?

 

(i.e. nbc doing that madden angle a few weeks ago on TNF)

Edit: You are right that makes sense.

Apparently, Shaheen (among others) is questionable for Saturday.

The way he's used, he was already questionable before any injury report.

This is a trademark John Fox coached game

yea, penalties everywhere.

[UMFan83]

Fox has to be trolling Bears fans. After a breakout game, he’s basically not being allowed to throw more than 10 yards downfield. Super conservative playcalling down 2 scores and nothing to play for

This is why i want him fired mid season

anyone watching this game...

 

[minnesotacubsfan]

trying to but its tough

[SpongeWorthy]

mitch needs a lot of work, more talent around him, and much better coaching

 

other than that he's really close

two of three of those would get him "there"

[UMFan83]

Not Mitch’s best game

[SpongeWorthy]

what are you throwing at even

[minnesotacubsfan]

he just tried to force that

[minnesotacubsfan]

all the bears suck this game

[UMFan83]

 

Yeah it’s Hub but he watches this stuff a lot closer than I do

seems like he was off on passes to the perimeter from the pocket

 

he's typically on the money when he's throwing between the hash marks/down the seams or towards the sideline on the run

[UMFan83]

I believe this is right: the Bears are 5-24 against the NFC North since Lovie was fired.

It'd be really hard to continue watching, if that happened.
