    Bulls one game back from the top spot in the East now (2 in the loss column to DET, 1 in the loss column to CLE).

    http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef.php Defensively, the Bears are far and away the best in the NFL against the pass. They are 7th in the NFL against the run (Minnesota is far and away the best there). I'm not too concerned about the defense overall, as they have performed consistently well throughout the year, surrendering decent yardage to very good offenses, and surrendering almost nothing to bad offenses. As I heard in a quote earlier this week, it should be interesting to see if a team can score negative points. 31st ranked offense vs. the 1st ranked defense. Even without Vasher and Tank, the D should be able to hold Tampa under 10 points.

    Bounceback game against a suspect defense? Gotta go Manning this week. Not only will they really be pushed for a win to finally lock up a playoff spot, but it could really be a game of "last team to get the ball wins".

    Posted this in the "Other Games" thread, but since power rankings were being discussed here, this is the ranking I agree with the most (and it's objective!): DVOA The weighted rankings factor more recent games in more heavily, so the Saints get a boost from that, but statistically they are the NFC's version of the Colts. Truly, none of the NFC contenders (NO, DAL, NYG, SEA) are good defensively, which bodes well for Rex. Actually, the teams I'd be most concerned about in the playoffs would be Philly or Carolina.

    Technically, they're 12-17, and have 5 games to go to .500. A true .500 record probably makes the playoffs, though.

    Here's a power rankings I can basically agree with: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6265494 It's objective, but I also agree with him that the Chargers are probably the best team overall right now. Was thinking of starting a NFL Playoff discussion thread, but it might be too soon yet.

    Finally, an turnover to end a very sloppy defensive effort by the Bears.
  10. bukie
    Sloppy freaking game defensively.

    So the Bears have tie-breakers over New Orleans? I didn't think that was the case. Isn't the first tiebreaker conference record? The Bears are 1+ on NO in that right now, but if they lost tonight, obviously they would be even there and move to the next TB. Have no idea what that is? Common opponents? Here's hoping they make it a non-issue and take care of business against a team they should pound on. New Orleans would win any tiebreaker with the Bears, as if they finish tied, NO would have the better conference record.

    Rex snaps out of it, and the defense keeps rolling. Griese gets some playing time, but it's in garbage time. Bears 34 Rams 13 There, that's all the optimism I have energy for.

    Now, now, don't go de-railin' this here thread. I believe the goal here is for the NFC East to completely beat itself up so nobody gets a wildcard spot, and the division winner is so beaten up it gets blown out in game 1. Right? ;)

    So, anyway, Big Ten-ACC challenge starts today. Matchups: Monday: - Michigan @ NC State, 7pm EST Tuesday: - Maryland @ Illinois, 7pm EST - Florida State @ Wisconsin, 7:30pm EST - Penn State @ Georgia Tech, 8:00pm EST - Indiana @ Duke, 9:00pm EST - Miami @ Northwestern, 9:30pm EST Wednesday: - Michigan State @ Boston College, 7pm EST - Virginia @ Purdue, 7:30pm EST - Iowa @ Virginia Tech, 8:00pm EST - Ohio State @ North Carolina, 9:00pm EST - Clemson @ Minnesota, 9:30pm EST Obviously, the marquee matchup is OSU @ UNC, and there are some bad mismatches among teams (PSU@GT, IU@Duke, FSU@UW). I'm really looking forward to watching Michigan/NC State, Maryland/Illinois, and MSU/BC, as those look like good matchups aside from OSU/UNC.

    Illinois about to get a solid OOC win on a neutral floor against a previously undefeated Bradley team. Really quiet solid start for the Illni this year. Should be fun to watch against Maryland next week.

    A Notre Dame win, followed by lack of voter impression on the quality of ND.
  17. bukie
    Question is...if ND beats USC, and the voters decide Michigan is still the 2nd best team, are there two bowl game rematches with USC and ND playing again?
  18. bukie
    A win and a Packer loss, and the Bears clinch the NFC North.
  19. bukie
    Wow, that's an unflattering Rex picture. You must really despise him unfairly.
  20. bukie
    Wow, Rex, where was that?
  21. bukie
    That throw was not Grossman's fault. EDIT: Well, that one was.
  22. bukie
    I wouldn't say a bad throw, he simply put it in a place where nobody but Moose could have possibly caught it. And he did. So I suppose it was fortunate he caught it, but at least there was no shot of an INT.
  23. bukie
    This is the second game this year where they simply expected the opponent to lay down. This is disappointing.
  24. bukie
    I've never seen a team that panics as much when behind as these Bears.
  25. bukie
    And...ND's defense again shows that it's...not good.
