  1. Well, boo. SNF next week will be either Panthers-Bucs or Steelers-Ravens, but I bet they'll go with Steelers-Ravens.
  2. 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.
  3. On the plus side, Darnell Wright is now on his way to Santa Clara.
  4. 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.
  5. There's also a weird scenario where everyone ties at 12-5 and the Eagles sneak past everyone for the 1 seed.
  6. Clayton Tune is now in at QB for the Packers, which can't be a good sign.
  7. Texans and Jaguars might be the best teams in the AFC.
  8. Darnell Wright is sick and didn't travel with the team today.
  9. All 10 players that saw the floor scored between 7 and 15 points, which is wild.
  10. Two Wrights make the Pro Bowl Selections wrong.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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?"
  17. The Bears have clinched a better record than the Lions this season, which is a wild thing that seemed not possible after week 2.
  18. Well that is something I've never seen before.
  19. The Jets defense has 0 interceptions this season, which is the fewest ever in a 15 game span.
  20. Panthers win, which greatly increases the chance that the week 18 Bucs-Panthers game means something (if Panthers win and Bucs lose next week the Panthers still clinch), so I would guess that game gets flexed to the primetime game.
  21. Jaxson Dart's stat line today: 7-13, 33 yards, 1 INT, 5 sacks for 20 yards. So, 13 net yards with an INT.
  22. He's a huge Packer fan and podcaster, but gotta tip the cap to the guy for cutting together that short after what I'm sure was one of the more devastating losses in franchise history.
  23. I have a feeling Caleb will be getting plenty of love from the national media this week.
  24. Caleb Williams needs to average 220 yards passing per game the last two games to set the Bears' franchise record for passing yards in a season. He's at 3400 right now, 3838 is the high mark.
