The Athletic did an in-depth on the game starting at about 12 minutes in to this podcast, describing why Caleb's 16 for 32 was much better than JJ's 16 for 32. https://shows.acast.com/the-athletic-football-show-a-show-about-the-nfl/episodes/week-11-hangover-the-bears-move-into-first-the-steelers-stay

If the playoffs started today, the Bears would be the 3 seed, and the Lions would miss the playoffs.
-
The Chiefs are now 5-5, in 9th in the AFC, would lose tiebreakers for the division, and with LA, Buffalo, and Jacksonville for a wild card spot, and play the Colts next week. If they don't win that, they may have to win out just to make the playoffs, and still have games remaining against the Chargers and Broncos.

THIS TIME FOR SURE
-
Call me crazy but I really hope he tries to play through it next week and the Bears end his career.
-
I mean, the Bengals game is the ultimate example of the Bears dominating on the field and not being able to get out of their own way to put the game away.

To me, there are 5 tiers of teams right now: 1. Teams that are good and have the record to show for it: NE, IND, LAR, SEA, PHI, DET, BUF 2. Teams that have a good record but I'm not convinced they're any good: DEN, GB, CHI, PIT, TB, LAC, CAR 3. Teams that would be scary if they rallied to make the playoffs: KC, BAL, SF 4. Teams that are feisty, but won't make the playoffs: MIN, DAL, JAC, HOU 5. Teams that are just bad and are already racing for top 5 picks: ATL, ARI, MIA, WAS, CIN, CLE, LV, NYJ, NYG, NO, TEN
-
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.
