  1. They dropped 9 in coverage. The Bears' play wasn't set right, half the team wasn't sure what they were supposed to do. Johnson said as much in the postgame press conference, they were unable to get the full play in at the end because it ended up being a bit hectic. Caleb tried to create anyway and spiked the ball a bit, otherwise, Walker has that and they win.
  2. He was wide open because Caleb was backpedaling to avoid a sack 30 yards away from him with no chance to get the ball there.
  3. The big thing on the last play that was screwed up is the Niners rushed 3 and one came through unblocked while 3 Bears linemen were just standing there with nothing to do.
  4. "Caleb missed a wide open Swift 10 yards shy of the end zone with 3 defenders in front of him" isn't the hill to die on.
  5. Yeah, I'd guess that CAR-TB is Saturday and PIT-BAL is SNF.
  6. There's still a small chance next week's Panthers-Bucs game is meaningless, because if Atlanta beats the Rams and Saints, the Panthers win the division in the case of a 3-way 8-9 tie.
  7. Well, boo. SNF next week will be either Panthers-Bucs or Steelers-Ravens, but I bet they'll go with Steelers-Ravens.
  8. With so many games swinging in a way that could clinch every playoff spot, I'm now rooting for a scenario where the NFL can't pick a game to flex to SNF next week that isn't meaningless. For starters, it means CAR beats SEA, PIT beats CLE and TB loses to MIA. That clinched both those divisions making their games next week meaningless. Then if the Bears beat the Niners and the Rams beat the Falcons, it makes the SF-SEA game potentially meaningless because the Rams win the NFC West with a Week 18 win in that scenario.
  9. On the plus side, Darnell Wright is now on his way to Santa Clara.
  10. Oh, I see, the option is off the table now with SF's win Monday. It required LA to win the division, as Philly would win a 3 way tiebreaker with LA and Chicago.
  11. There's also a weird scenario where everyone ties at 12-5 and the Eagles sneak past everyone for the 1 seed.
  12. Clayton Tune is now in at QB for the Packers, which can't be a good sign.
  13. Texans and Jaguars might be the best teams in the AFC.
  14. Darnell Wright is sick and didn't travel with the team today.
  15. All 10 players that saw the floor scored between 7 and 15 points, which is wild.
  16. Two Wrights make the Pro Bowl Selections wrong.
  17. Counter point: The Niners aren't actually all that good this year, they just looked amazing against a team that has effectively given up and started a grandfather who hadn't played in 5 years, and yet the Niners defense somehow made him look decent.
  18. It'll be fine, since none of the Bears are going to be playing in the Pro Bowl anyway once they win the NFC championship.
  19. While we're having fun, here are the current playoff teams' records against the current playoff field: Seahawks: 4-2 Rams: 4-4 49ers: 3-3 Bears: 3-1 Eagles: 2-3 Panthers: 3-4 Packers: 2-4 Broncos: 3-2 Pats: 2-2 Jags: 5-3 Steelers: 1-5 Bills: 3-2 Chargers: 3-1 Texans: 3-4
  20. Possibly my favorite Bears stat of the year: In games this season where the Bears chances of winning have fallen below 20%, they are 6-4.
  21. Division record only matters for ties within the division. With 2-3 teams, after head to head, the next tiebreaker is conference record, then common opponents. If the Bears win out, they would win any tiebreaker with Seattle or LA. If the Bears lose to the Niners, they can't get the 1 seed. If the Bears beat the Niners and lose to the Lions, they would need a Philly loss, a Niners loss, 2 Seattle losses and an LA loss to finish with the 1 seed.
  22. Bears 1 seed, no question. The choice is effectively "Do you want the Bears to get a bye or do you want the Bears to play an extra playoff game against a team they just lost to?"
  23. The Bears have clinched a better record than the Lions this season, which is a wild thing that seemed not possible after week 2.
