  1. I think it's far more likely all 3 are retained than all 3 are replaced.
  2. Didn't have the angle for the line drive, either needed Kmet to keep going inside or throw it with more loft.
  3. Maybe it'll work the 9th time, Getsy.
  4. I don't think the run up the middle on 2nd and long is working today. Maybe the 8th time they do it it'll work.
  5. Stevenson today bailing out the Bears D twice already.
  6. I am so tired of the Tampa 2 defense. Sagging back and holding out for turnovers is not a good defensive plan long-term, and doesn't work at all when the front 4 can't get any pressures.
  7. Yeah, he should have thrown it to the none receivers that were open as soon as his dropback finished because 0 of the 5 rushers were blocked. Kyle is lcownshoes, don't acknowledge anything he says, it's all a stupid bit he does because he's endlessly bored.
  8. Nobody open fast enough, 5 pass rushers on 6 blockers, and 5 different guys at least get a hand on Fields. Pass blocking is not there today, and defensive backfield doing nothing, leads to a bad combo.
  9. "Great throw by Love" - There was no Bears defender within 15 yards of the receiver.
  10. When people are looking for reasons to bag on Fields, these are they plays they complain about without considering the context.
  11. DVOA ratings have moved to a new site, so I haven't been staying updated on them this season, but I was curious how the Bears were faring since I thought they'd been playing much better of late, and here are the weighted DVOA ratings (games most recent weighted most heavily, falling off after 8 games) as of the start of week 18: 1. Ravens 2. 49ers 3. Bills 4. Dolphins 5. Cowboys 6. Chiefs 7. Bears 8. Lions 9. Browns 10. Jaguars 11. Steelers 12. Texans 13. Eagles 14. Raiders 15. Bengals 16. Bucs 17. Seahawks 18. Rams 19. Saints 20. Packers 21. Broncos 22. Colts 23. Vikings 24. Chargers 25. Patriots 26. Falcons 27. Jets 28. Titans 29. Cardinals 30. Giants 31. Commanders 32. Panthers
  12. Criticize Fields all you like, but I have to say the Bears did dodge that bullet in last year's draft. For sure I'd rather have Fields, Moore, Stevenson, Wright, and this year's #1 pick than Bryce Young.
  13. Defensive rebounding is what killed the Illini yesterday. Brad said in the postgame that they figured Edey on Rodgers would be a thing, but it's a hard thing to practice because they just don't have someone that big, so they didn't practice it enough to deal with it better. Otherwise, they neutralized Loyer, Braden Smith was managed pretty well, Edey was managed as well as could be, they just weren't up for anything else, and just could not stop Purdue from getting second chances, particularly early on. Sure, Purdue shot lights out in the first half, but it came back to normal by the end, it was just too big of a deficit to recover from.
  14. But hey, Bedard is the youngest NHL all star in NHL history, so it's not all bad!
  15. Other potential positives are all TJs social media is reactivated, and the NIL store is selling his gear again. EDIT: And the gear is gone from the store again. Must have been inadvertent.
  16. Hearing more good news about TJ today, hoping this gets resolved sooner than later.
  17. Last I heard, TJ is currently getting the "Self-help" he needs to get this situation resolved quickly.
  18. Fun fact, Texas and Washington are both playing Michigan next season.
  19. Bills' playoff swing is huge in next week's Bills-Dolphins game. If Bills win, they are the 2 seed. If Bills lose, they are out of the playoffs unless Jags and Steelers lose.
  20. Let's go nobody tonight!
  21. If Pittsburgh can hold off Seattle here, it will be amusing to root for a tie tonight.
  22. If the things I said above happen, this is how it shakes out. EDIT: If there is a 3 team tie and they don't all have games against each other, the tiebreaker is conference record, and the Bears win that tiebreakers against either TB or NO.
  23. If the Bears simply had won every game they had a 90%+ chance of winning in the 4th quarter, they'd be 10-6 and leading the division right now.
  24. The Bears remaining path to the playoffs: Week 16: - Steelers beat Seahawks - Packers and Vikings tie Week 17: - Bears beat Packers - Lions beat Vikings - Cards beat Seahawks - Either Panthers beat Bucs or Falcons beat Saints
  25. It was the 2 minute warning, clock would stop regardless, get a 1st down you can just kneel it out from there, effectively.
