Packers fans now unironically fear leaving too much time on the clock for Caleb Williams 

I don't care about the draft position today, but I'll change my mind when the actual draft position gets here and the top two tackles are gone by our spot 

The Packers played the Eberflus defense to set the Bears up for that field goal. They left the middle of the field wide open and gave them just enough space to down the ball and kick a field goal.

Along those lines, why did the Packers call timeout with time left on the play clock before kicking the field goal?  That time was the difference in the game.

This is a big question most fans have. I actually have no problem with the TO when he took it because I think LaFleur wanted time to decide if he would kick or go for it on 4th down.

They've got to do right by Caleb, regardless of the circumstances he just helped end an 10 and 11 game losing streaks.  Non of this Flores, Vrabel horsefeathers.

$2M in savings, $2M in dead money if they cut Santos pre-June 1.

stupid bears wrecking draft position for a totally meaningless game.

Well with 2 games to go that would have changed things. The Bears would have been picking 8th on loss and 10th on win.

He pulled a Lovie and ruined having the #1 pick

At the end of the game the Bears snapped the ball with :20 left and got an illegal shift penalty called on them to lose 5 yards. But when the next play started there was 15 seconds left. Isn’t illegal shift a pre-Snap penalty thus no time should have gone off?  I’m assuming I’m wrong because absolutely no one said anything.

He makes so much sense for NE and Kraft

Having Caleb lead a game winning drive in the final seconds to end the season is worth losing a slot or two in the draft.

100%. Zero regret on that.

I find it hilarious that was the Bears first win in the states since they beat Carolina.

I thought they snapped at 15.

I find it ironically hilarious the Bears abused the Packers on special teams, totally faking them out of their collective pants with DJ Moore on the punt return.  Take that GB special teams guru, ha, ha, ha.  Another thing I noticed, the Packer kicker had to resort to the line drive on the 55 yard FG.  You never know, that may come back to bite them in the ass vs. the Eagles.  Although with Love and Watson hurting, I don't think giving the ball to Jacobs on every down is going to work in Philadelphia.  Therefore, there's a good chance the game may not come down to a FG.  Surprisingly, Santos managed to get some air under his kick, I thought certain he was going to line drive it right into a block.

Well with the Raiders game basically over, and the Jets looking like they're going to win, the win today was the difference between #7 and #10, nothing too awful.

Yeah, they'll be in position to draft one of the top OL prospects.

[gflore34]

Don't see an NFL week 18 thread so I'll just discuss Lions/Vikings here, I like the Vikings.  I believe they'll manage a key stop or two whereas, I don't see the Lions coming close to stopping the Vikings.  The Niners, with a patch work OL, and other injuries on offense rolled all over the Lions.  Niners beat themselves, it wasn't anything the Lions did on defense.

Is that a last place schedule?  Because it sure doesn't feel like one.
