  1. Secret wish for this college football season: that this year's Army-Navy game ends up being for the Group of 5 playoff spot. Getting closer to reality every week. EDIT: Biggest caveat for this possibility is both teams play Notre Dame, but sorry Irish, rooting for Army-Navy this year.
  2. For you power rankings fanatics that may or may not be UM fans.... Sagarin has updated his ratings for this NFL season now that we're 1/4 of the way in: http://sagarin.com/sports/nflsend.htm Notables: - The Bears are the 12th overall and 6th best NFC team behind Detroit, Minnesota, San Fran, Green Bay and Philly, just ahead of Dallas and Atlanta. Feels about right? - The Bears have played the softest schedule thus far, and have lost the only two games they've played against potential playoff quality teams. - The NFC North is by far the best division in football this season. - Weighted by recent play, the Bears are 8th overall, still 4th in the NFC North behind #1 Minny, #4 Detroit and #5 GB.
  3. Utah gets a basketball team: "Sure, we'll keep being the Jazz, despite that being as far from a Utah thing as humanly possible" Utah gets a hockey team: "No, we can't be the Coyotes, that doesn't represent Utah."
  4. Actually had the TD on a QB scramble, but called back for a clipping penalty on Kramer for 15 yards. Didn't connect on two passes from the 15 and then kicked the FG.
  5. Fun fact, this was actually the Bears 8th straight home win dating back to last season, the longest active home winning streak in the NFL.
  6. Waiting for Caleb to throw a 3 yard completion.
  7. That last pass to Kmet puts Williams at 296 yards passing. Will he throw again?
  8. Brisker again prioritizing a hit over a tackle and gives up 20 free yards to put Caroline in FG range.
  9. The run blocking has been a bit better this week, and they've finally discovered Kmet after the first two weeks..
  10. See, this is how a rushing attack works. Chunks of yards on a tired D-line. Bears haven't generated enough line pressure here the last few minutes.
  11. There are 3 new players on the O-line, if anything there's a lack of familiarity going on at this point.
  12. Eventually we'll get a dropback without an unblocked free rusher.
  13. That last one was just a great play by Lasseter. The ball was right to Kmet, who just kept backpedaling and Lasseter jumped in front.
  14. Good play by Stevenson, who's been the abused CB all night long.
  15. He knew he had a free shot.
  16. Only in this thread.
  17. Hey look, other teams can let free rushers up the middle sometimes too.
  18. Free rusher up the middle continues to be a problem for this offensive line.
  19. The White Sox have won 5 series this season, none since the ASB.
  20. So the Bears won and covered the spread, as expected.
  21. PCA beats the play at 2nd on a routine DP ball to SS, leads to 2 runs.
  22. They could still win tiebreakers against the Dodgers and Phillies...
  23. Fun fact, the Cubs are now more than 40 games better than the White Sox this season.
  24. They're going to stop playing the White Sox very soon.
  25. The Cubs just won 8 of 10 and gained at least one game on every team ahead of them in the standings. The Braves lost yesterday. The scoreboard watching doesn't matter unless the Cubs keep winning, and as long as they do they gain a half game on the league every day.
