He clearly didn't try to hit him head to head. Tate ducked.

Problem was Hurst passing zone against nobody. He should have kept running with Johnson. Not that it would have mattered.

Nobody was actually covering Calvin Johnson. Fuller came off his man/brother.

C'mon Jennings.

Conte being evaluated for concussion.

Ugh. Trestman. Keep spreading them out.

Too bad one couldn't get off that block and block backwards. Woulda been a TD 2 plays earlier.

1st quarter TD!

Love the adjustment of Vereen at S in the nickel for Mundy.

Reiff and Ratliff both out. Jared Allen gets a rookie UDFA at LT. Paea gets a backup RG. Gotta win those matchups. Fairley also out and he has killed the Bears. Like our pass rush against the (33 sacks allowed in 11 games and missing 2 OL). Like our run D woth Bush out, even without our 2 starters. More worried about Golden Tate than Calvin to be honest. Can't bracket Tate with a S and he killed the Bears in Seattle. Best run D in the league but gotta stick with the run early anyway. Scoring a TD in the first quarter would be nice for a change. Whichever team is FORCED to throw the ball most will lose.

Reggie Bush is out for the Lions. Big decisions left are if Ratliff for the Bears and Riley Reiff for the Lions will play.

Yes.

Mr. Briggs may have played his last NFL game. If he's out a few games and the Bears aren't in contention there is no reason to bring him back. He obviously won't be re-signed and I don't know that anyone will give him the money he wants. Urlacher situation all over again.

I used to play in a league with hundredth-points. It was completely ridiculous. Yup....I'm in a league with hundredth-points. I once lost a matchup by 0.08 points. The only way to even get hundreth points is with a QBs passing yards I believe. I'm in the same type of scoring, and you're right, only QBs can get hundredths (unless someone else completes a pass I guess). They get .04 points per yard compared to 0.1 for everyone else. I play in a league that did 1/100. Its idp and defensive players get 0.25 points for a tackle.

From 7-1 in 2 leagues to 9-3 and 8-4. In the latter, I got Megatron back healthy. Bye weeks ended for all my players. Picked up Odell Beckham on waivers over this timespan.

None of that is funny.

That would be interesting because I assume he was here on the recommendations of Kromer, who would presumably have a big say in the depth chart. And the staff did not seem to warm all that much to a guy many thought was the better option. Eh. I think it was more blind loyalty to Garza.

This may be the least surprising post I've ever read. Boy scouts are a Christian organization......at least historically. And no, not surprised at all.

My wife got roped into being a Cub scout leader for a few years. So in turn, I got roped into helping out. I know way too much about that [expletive]. And yes boy scouts are just wrong. A lot of serial killers were boy scout leaders.

1st place in the NFCS is 3 games behind last place in the AFCN

I figured as much, but didn't run thru the scenarios. I believe all the AFC/NFC games are over for all the contenders other than this week's GB/NE Superbowl preview (according to media). And the Bears lost 3 AFC games, which means if they win out they would only finish with 3 NFC losses, which is most years is good enough to win most tiebreakers.

If the Bears win out (they won't) it will be very hard for them to not get in as a 10-6. It would probably mean no 10-6 teams get in. ETA- the Bears would have h2h against Dallas, Detroit, and San Fran. Philly, and Ari have conference heavy schedules so if they falter, Bears will get that tie breaker. Probably only concern is a 10-6 Seattle and 11-5 Dallas but I haven't been able to create that scenario yet, it keeps coming out with all 11-5 teams. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk SF/Seattle and Dal/Philly play each other twice to end the year. One of them sweeping the other would be ideal. Ironically all 3 matchups (those 2 plus Lions/Bears) all play Thursday and all play in the next 3 weeks. Ideally, Seattle and Philly would sweep as the Bears would have tiebreakers over Detroit, Dallas and SF if they win the next 2 at least. But if Philly got swept by Dallas, they still play Seattle (at Philly) so that's potential for 3 NFC losses. Likewise, if SF sweeps Seattle, they still have to go to Philly and Arizona and they have been beatable on the road, so they could have 3 NFC losses left. Wouldn't we want SF and Seattle to possibly split? Arizona is still the favorite to win the division, so either of them sweeping increases the odds of that team taking one of the 2 WC spots. 1 of the 2 is better than 2 of the 2. If they split, the Bears still need both to lose again, even if the Bears win out.

Can Napoli catch anymore?
