I'm under no illusions that this Bears team is great, or even good. However, they're clearly better than half the NFC (ARI, NO, ATL, MIN, CAR, NYG, WAS, DAL), which automatically puts them in playoff contention. So that's fun.
-
The other thing to keep in mind is a 10-6 Bears team going into week 18 could be going up against a Lions team that has already clinched the division and resting starters.
-
Quietly, the Bears are alone in 1st in the NFC North.
-
Beating 3 of PIT/CLE/GB/@GB/@SF isn't all that far fetched.

Live update on Maryland football in Champaign:
-
Fair or not, I have a feeling Miami is being penalized for 2 losses in what has turned out to be a terrible ACC this year.
-
Call it the Demar Derozan effect.

Yeah, the Hawks were heavily outplayed 5 on 5 yesterday and didn't get a power play after the first period. In the first period, the Hawks looked like the better team. Afterwards, they had trouble even keeping control of the puck in the offensive zone at all. As a result, the shot differential after the first period was 27-8.
-
Well that was a pretty power play sequence ending in a Bedard goal on an open net.

The Professor Emeritus- Kyle Hendricks announces retirement
bukie replied to bukie's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Fun bizarre Kyle Hendricks factoid: He was never an All-Star in his career, despite leading MLB in ERA in 2016. -
https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46920314/cubs-mainstay-rhp-kyle-hendricks-retiring-12-seasons He started the two most important wins in Cubs modern history, and led the league in ERA in 2016. He'll always be one of my favorite players.
-
Blackhawks are 4th in the NHL in goal differential now, which is wild.
-
Of the remaining schedule, I'm convinced Detroit and Philly are very good, Green Bay and San Francisco are good, Minnesota and Pittsburgh are meh, and Cleveland is very bad. Splitting the next 2 puts them in a decent spot for getting to 9 wins, stealing one against a good team (split with Packers would be most likely, IMO). Sweep the next two somehow, and then they can start talking playoffs.
-
I misheard an analyst after the game. He's 3rd on the team in sacks, 2 behind Sweat and 1 behind Dexter.
-
CJ Gardner-Johnson now leads the Bears in sacks. He's been a Bear for 10 days.
-
If the playoffs started this moment, the Bears would get the 7 seed, 1/2 game out of the top seed.

I mean, we're about 10% into the season, who even is the team to beat in the East this season? Indiana looks terrible and won't get Haliburton at any point this year. Milwaukee has Giannis (for now), but basically nobody else around him. He's practically begging for a trade elsewhere. Knicks could be good, maybe? No Thibs, though so we'll see how things progress over the season. Heat have looked pretty good so far, but I don't see a big difference between them and the Bulls this year, tbh. Philly would be good if they could find good Embiid hidden away somewhere, but dude seems checked out half the season. Cavs should be good but haven't looked great ever since they got blitzed by Indy in the playoffs Other than that, what, the Pistons? Celtics? Hawks? I got nothing.

Don't hate the players, hate the administration. Maybe they'll pull a 2005 White Sox, succeed in spite of their management's best intentions.
-
If they can win this one I'm feeling pretty good the Bears can get 9 wins. I don't think that gets them a playoff spot in the NFC, though. For me, the playoff teams are going to be Detroit, the Rams, Philly, Tampa and Seattle for sure, and two of GB/Min/SF/Chi/Car, most likely GB and SF.
-
So it begins.

-
Brisker needs to actually defend passes, rather than just line up hits after the catch.
-
Oh right, I forgot I had to start Caleb in fantasy with Hurts on bye. That ended up working out okay.
-
Oh right, Flacco can only throw it about 15 yards in the air.
