Week 17: Bears @ Vikings Sunday, 3:25 on Fox

[WrigleyField 22]

if vikings win it's bears-vikes in the wild card and if not it's bears-eagles right? i'm not afraid of either team but i'd much rather face the eagles. kill the vikes tomorrow and worry about the rest later.

Eagles do have to beat Redskins if the Vikings lose, which, granted seems like a given, but still...

Not quite

 

Bears win + Eagles lose = Vikings

Bears win + Eagles win = Eagles

Vikings win + Seahawks win = Vikings

Vikings win + Seahawks lose = Seahawks

Not sure if he had a great chance anyway, but Philbin should polish his resume up after the game today.

[UMFan83]

Rams up 7-0

[minnesotacubsfan]

Howard!

[UMFan83]

Oof Miller suffers a non-contact leg injury

 

Edit: or maybe shoulder. Apparently it’s the same shoulder he dislocated earlier this year. Big blow to the playoffs

[UMFan83]

Rams about to go up 14-0. Miller injured. I think we are close to pulling starters time

He definitely is going to need surgery in the offseason. That just shouldn't happen like that. I do wonder if in the short term it's a "pop it back in and play through some pain" situation.

If the Bears are thinking about pulling them 6 minutes in, most of the starters should never have played

horsefeathers that. knockk the vikings out f the postseason.

[Wilson A2000]

Cohen is a very talented football player. But he’s not bright. Still don’t trust Parkey on any kick he attempts.

 

Vikings look really bad.

[Soul]

Time to start selectively pulling starters.

The Vikings stink. Let them in because they look like the weakest team in the NFC.

That doesn’t make sense. The decision is based on game conditions. You can argue that they shouldn’t have played because there was no way the Rams were losing and if that’s your view it’s a valid opinion. I thought that there was at least a fighting chance for the 49ers based on how they’ve played of late. But 1 more TD and it will be pretty clear that the Rams are going to win comfortably

 

Edit: also of concern is that the Seahawks are struggling today although it’s only 3-0 Arizona. If you want to avoid Seattle in round 1 you are keeping an eye on that one before pulling any starters

The Rams had a 90% chance of winning which is why yesterday I said I was all for not playing any important starters today

The Eagles have a QB or two that can win big games. The Vikings don’t.

[Soul]

It’s about injuries though. We’ve got one good player down already why risk more?

Agreed. The Eagles have been ravaged by injuries. I don't care that they beat the Rams, they're the much weaker team right now.

[Wilson A2000]

A Kevin White sighting. Great catch.

Nice to see. Might be too late for his future with the Bears.

[Wilson A2000]

Go for it

[Wilson A2000]

What a punt from deep in your own end zone. And Cohen is still football dumb.

[Soul]

Nice special teams.
