    Right now they aren't a playoff quality team, but they have a definite chance to finish in the top 30, which is a feat in itself after the last few years. Looking at ELO rankings, they're currently 30th, ahead of Calgary and San Jose, with a bit of a gap yet between them and #29 (Anaheim). There's still a larger gap between them and a playoff spot (16th, which right now is Florida) than them and San Jose, who is way below everyone else.

    The Giants have given up 33 points in the 4th quarter, and lose 33-32.

    Lucky, today's conditions really helped make the game sloppy which should have helped the Saints keep the game close (reminded me of when a terrible Bears team beat the Super Bowl 49ers on a sloppy day in Chicago a few years back). Caleb actually did really well under pressure, just terrible when he had time to survey the field, almost like he was purposely told not to scramble for yards today.

    Ball don't lie. Terrible penalty call results in INT and quick TD.

    Conditions are rough for offenses. Saints D is bad but sloppiness is affecting both sides now.

    One. One downfield throw. That was a miss.

    Conditions are very rough in Chicago today. As one would notice from the snap and fumble issues.

    That should have been a flag as the center never gave up the ball. They got 3 points so meh.

    The Saints are one of 3 teams the the Bears haven't beaten since the Lovie Smith era (Eagles, Dolphins). They've lost 8 straight vs the Saints.

    I hope the Hawks are more competitive this season, and that starts with scoring more than 2 goals per game. So, leading the league in goals scored as of today is a start. Two years ago, they finished with 52 points, 30 points shy of being a normal bad team and 50 points shy of being a playoff team. Last year they finished with 61 points, 15 points shy of being a normal bad team and 35 points shy of a playoff team. This year, if they can finish even with the other 5th place teams in the league, it's a significant jump. If they can somehow get 90 points, they'll be exciting.

    NFL Tiers after week 6: Good news, the Bears are basically even with the 49ers and Eagles. Plus...they may have already played the best teams int he NFC East? Bad news, there are really only 9 teams clearly worse than the Bears right now, though each of their next 4 opponents is in that list. Defense has come a long way the past 3 weeks though.

    If the Bears D does anything in the 4th quarter against the Vikings in week 1, the Bears would be leading the division and have the 2nd best record in the NFL.

    The Bears fan in me: Man, the Bears got robbed on that Odunze TD, completely changed the complexion of the game and made them scramble from there. Totally unacceptable call in that situation. The Fantasy football owner who beat a team with Odunze by 3 points: Man, horsefeathers happens I guess, Bears still won, not worth being concerned about the details.

    Maybe PSU and UNC should swap coaches. I bet UNC makes that trade in less than a heartbeat. Put another way, what are the chances PSUs next coach is worse? 75%?

    The Brewers had a 6 week stretch of baseball this season where they went 37-4. That stretch counts and is the most insane 41 game stretch in MLB history. Outside that stretch, the Brewers are 62-62.

    Keep in mind FG odds are based on a model of the Dodgers that projects them as some 110 win super team that never actually manifested during the year.

    I don't think the NLCS is being played in Japan, so I like the Cubs chances better than that already.

    From the 5th inning on in this series, the Cubs have outscored the Brewers 5-1.

    Call me selfish, but I want to see one more Clayton Kershaw surrender cobra at Wrigley Field.

    I look forward to Shota's impending no-no on Saturday.
  22. bukie
    I feel confident they won't use a pitcher they'll need tomorrow.

    FTFY

    I've reached the exhale point, which for me is Cubs need fewer outs than runs allowed.

    There are at least 5 reasons I like starting Boyd today better than I did in G1: He's on normal rest and not short rest. He's at Wrlgley, where he's fared far better on the season. He's easily the best starter available today. He should be well rested after throwing just 30 pitches in G1 and not warming in the pen 2 days prior. For a potential NLCS, using him here would put him on regular rest for Game 2.
