Week 15 Bears vs. Vikings, MNF

[raw]

COVID has struck the Bears again. The only thing anyone in the organization can catch.

 

Bears have put their OC (Lazor), DC (Desai) and ST coordinator (Tabor) in Covid protocol. Along with the following players already on the list:

 

Eddie Goldman- for I believe the 3rd time this year, and he very wisely (sarcasm) isn't vaccinated after sitting out 2020

Larry Borom

Mario Edwards

Sam Kamara

Elijah Wilkinson

Artie Burns

 

They have had no in person contact this week due to the outbreak. With 2 OTs on the Covid list and Peters not healthy, Germain Ifedi (not even sure what his injury was) is ironically ready to go by Monday night according to Nagy.

Holy horsefeathers just forfeit lol.

Noooo I want to see a Matt Nagy coached game without any of his coaches and calling plays so I can hate watch.

First Nagy screws up the headsets, now he gave Lazor Covid just so he can call plays.....that maniacal bastard!

Next he's gonna marry old lady Ginny and inherit the damn keys to the franchise.

But wait, it gets worse.

If you have a pair of football cleats and can produce a negative PCR covid test from the past 24 hours, please report to Halas Hall at 9am tomorrow morning ready to train with the Chicago Bears.

Maybe the Chicago Department of Safety can get involved like they did with the Bulls. But don't postpone the Bears game just cancel it.

Uhh, I’m not sure this team will be able to field a full roster for Monday.

 

When was the last time a team had to forfeit a game?

Legit low key its great that the Bears moved Quinn's cap hit earlier in the season because at least they have cap space to absorb all the players they'd need to sign off the street.

 

Right now if the Ravens had an outbreak they might legit end up using every last penny of cap space to sign replacementa, and even then run out. I don't see much money they have left to move this late in the season.

 

NFL teams. Just defer every last dollar you can, at minimum after the trade deadline, if not when the season starts.

Thought the cap was only your top 53 players. So after the top 53, can’t you spend minimum/vet minimum on any amount of additional players?

Nope. Every player on the roster counts. Practice squad too.

Nah, salary cap only counts top 53 highest paid players.

No. Your 53 active + IR + Practice squad all count.

 

The only caveat I guess with the 53 man is guys only on a week or two do get pro-rated only the weeks they were on the 53. So at any given three your 53 is your top 53.

 

There is the offseason 51 rule, but that switches as soon as preseason ends.

 

Edit-IR in this case also includes the covid list.

[WrigleyField 22]

I suppose the one thing that will help is most players seem to have per game roster bonuses which I don't believe are guaranteed. So a guy with a 500k roster per game bonus being replaced with 850k 2 year min vet is only a 350k incremental cost (pro-rated each week). So I guess theres a pay for there. But I'd have to double check on guarantees there because I know base salary automatically vests for vesting veterans who are on the roster week 1, but I don't know for sure on the roster bonus point.

The entire secondary has covid. Ouch. And they still weren’t fully masking at practice.

[gflore34]

If the game is played, which it shouldn't, I have think chances for even more egregious head scratching coaching from Nagy are quite high. Although, I have no idea how he can be much worse, I'm thinking the football idiot' football idiot Nagy will find a way.

Bet the over

Have fun with Justin Jefferson

[Soul]

17 on the COVID list including all 3 coordinators? I’m sure the Vikings will enjoy their free win.

Nagy word jumble time.

[UMFan83]

Didn't expect to wake up and find a Justin Fields hit piece

 

 

Love comparing full seasons to 9 start sample sizes lol

[WrigleyField 22]

I mean it's perfectly reasonable to ajust expectations and confidence levels based off the 9 game sample.

 

He's still by far the most promising Bears QB probably ever. At least in my lifetime.
