    The team looks to be playing much better on grass than they did last week in swamp terrain.

    Both against Liechtenstein, effectively thanks to the Nations League.

    I know conference expansion is out of control, but last I checked UConn, Fairleigh Dickison and Saint Peter's weren't in the conference.

    This pitch in Kingston is terrible. Just unplayable since about the 30th minute.

    Considering Milan is 2-2 against their thus far murderous schedule bodes well for them finishing top 8 at this point ( they have thus far played Liverpool, Leverkusen and Real Madrid)

    Also, Illinois wins 112-67, Will Riley scored 31.

    Real games start today. In Illinois news, Ty Rodgers, one of two holdovers from last year, is redshirting due to a perceived lack of minutes available. As to why there would not be minutes available for someone who started on an elite eight team last year, see tonight's shooting numbers, 42 3-pt attempts, 46 ft attempts. That's just not Ty's game, and that's the way they want to play this year.

    This play looks bad for Stevenson: https://bsky.app/profile/oldtakesexposed.bsky.social/post/3l7jvton6za2i

    Bears really dropped the ball on that draft pick.
  10. bukie
    That was the first time anyone in the NFC North lost to a team under .500.
  11. bukie
    Probably their worst game of the season so far last night. Dominated in every facet and Bedard was effectively invisible.
  12. bukie
    A bit amusing to go from 3 point underdogs at home against a 1-4 team to 3 point favorites on the road against a 5-2 game based on a single game's result.

    Wasn't it Luol Deng that has such a bad surgery he almost died on the table?

    NFL.com has the Bears 13th: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-7-2024-nfl-season They note that the Bears would be at least tied for first in 5 of the other 7 divisions, but are last in theirs.

    DVOA has the Bears 17th: https://ftnfantasy.com/dvoa/nfl/team-total-dvoa Offense 24th (up from 32nd 2 weeks ago), Defense 6th, ST 12th. Don't have access to DAVE (weighted for more recent production) but I'd imagine they'd be higher there. Typical suspects are ahead of them, along with New Orleans (those first 2 weeks are being stretched as hard as they can) and Cincinnati (...I don't know why).

    The Athletic has the Bears 13th: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5843048/2024/10/15/nfl-power-rankings-week-7-ravens-lions/ NFC teams ahead of the Bears: Vikings, Lions, Commanders, Packers, Falcons, 49ers, Bucs The NFC is stacked, while the AFC has the Chiefs, Texans, Ravens and Bills, followed by...3 other teams that have to make the playoffs in some way. Chargers, Steelers and Colts have the edge, but the bottom half of the conference looks just really bad.

    CBS has the Bears 9th: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-7-power-rankings-cowboys-are-americas-mess-right-now-caleb-williams-bears-join-the-top-10/ Still 5th in the NFC, behind the rest of the division and the Falcons.
  18. bukie
    I do find the irony in sports pundits discounting the Bears wins for bum-slaying, while 3 days ago everyone was betting on Jacksonville winning outright, enough to push the line like 4 points.
  19. bukie
    ESPN has the Bears 16th: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41793922/nfl-power-rankings-week-7-poll-2024-one-lesson-learned Same 9 teams ahead of them as Sagarin, but also has Tampa, Atlanta, Washington, Dallas and Seattle above them, which....ehh.
  20. bukie
    This is now a Bears power ranking week 7 thread. Sagarin ratings updated: http://sagarin.com/sports/nflsend.htm Bears 10th, 29th rated schedule (which tracks, they've played 3 of the 5 worst teams in football). Teams above the Bears: Vikings, Lions, Packers, 49ers, Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Texans, Steelers. The NFC North has lapped the NFL field in terms of team quality.

    NFL Week 6

    bukie replied to Brian707's topic in Other Sports

    Thought while watching this game: "Man, it's wild that Illinois has two kickers better than anyone in this game." Feels like the Bills effectively wrapped up the AFC East tonight. The division is garbage, and the Bills already have road wins vs the Dolphins and Jets.

    Hey, the Blackhawks won Saturday night. On the road (where they got just 7 wins last season). Against the defending Stanley Cup finalists and current Stanley Cup favorite. And Bedard was the best player on the ice (by game score, Teuvo by quality adjusted game score). Bedard was not good against the Jets, but a win like this is encouraging in terms of "hey, this might be a real NHL quality team this year".

    If the Lions win this game... Division records against teams not in their division: 8. AFC East 5-10 7. NFC West 5-10 6. AFC North 8-12 5. AFC South 6-9 4. NFC South 6-8 3. NFC East 10-8 2. AFC West 9-4 1. NFC North 16-4

    I'm not convinced there's anything Patrick Williams does at an NBA-quality level.
  25. bukie
    Almost immediately followed by a bad giveaway in the defensive end when screwing around too much in the back. Keep pushing, don't just settle back.
