Week 9 - Bears (3-5) @ Steelers (4-3) on MNF

[Bertz]

Here's the fake optimism playoff push logic.

 

 

While I don't think this is a thing, it's at least a much easier slate of defenses. Here are their ranks in DVOA prior to yesterday

 

Ravens - 26

Lions - 29

Cardinals - 2

Packers - 16

Vikings - 8

Seahawks - 23

Giants - 15

Vikings - 8

 

The Cardinals appear to have (rightfully) taken a pretty big step back since Watt went down. This should be a good group for Fields to test his mettle.

It feels weird to let Pace and Nagy trade up to draft a QB in the first round, develop him for a year, then fire them after a year in which that QB developed well.

That’s not going to be a problem at all
