The biggest obstacle is the first four weeks when nobody has a bye. but week 1 is a no brainer. Those teams open without a game before. week 2/3/4 can stay same (or just don’t have TNF during those weeks since the product sucks), but you can give 2 teams an early bye in week 4 and have them play week 5 Thursday. And from that point forward keep it that way. By week 6/7/8 teams are losing players left and right to injury. Coming back 4 days later sucks for them.

I cannot believe the league still has teams play 4 days after a game. Thursdays should be teams coming off byes exclusively.

Quick turnaround for a banged up team. Chicago is a slight favorite. Both teams are ranked very similarly offensively and defensively. I’ll take Caleb over Drake

Is there any team whose talent gets more overrated than the cowboys?

Big loss coming up

I think that Branch is broken

I don’t really think it matters. The turnover rate of nhl coache is silly. There’s no superstar waiting to take the job. This is a bad team. They are going to lose a lot. But they have some fun things and will have another lotto pick this summer, maybe a top 5 guy. Better coaching isn’t making this a playoff team this year. Give him a full season of all this young talent plus Kane and Byram. If it’s still a mess in February you can start drawing up papers. But right now it won’t make a difference

Part of the Byram Kane acquisition plan was to improve in OT and they won in OT. But it was Levshunov and Bedard doing the work Nazar can’t finish

Nazar is back in the lineup so forward lines should be set, but Byram is missing game due to injury so defensive pairings likely will be a mess.

Phrasing

Bears are 3 point road favorites against a falcons team that might be better than expected but has 2 wins vs a bad saints team and disjointed Packers. Yes, Chicago was awful against GB but that was without an NGL QB and hopefully they have one of those this week. Atlanta will probably come out pissed after their dumbass loss against Baltimore but the locals may not be particularly supportive if things go sideways and the dome should have a lot of Bears fans. Question remains whether or not that will be helpful when Chicago is on offense given their fans’ tendency to get distractedly loud at the wrong time.

Not quite, imo. They were outshot quite a bit and leaky/unstable on D. Arty looked good and Byram flashed his offense but took two bad penalties and was shaky in his own end. Vlasic had too many unsure moments for the guy that is billed as your best defensive defenseman including a shaky turnover that almost lost the lead. That looked like a team that could be in the race in March if they get that kind of effort every game. But they dug such a hole that they are going to need more to get there.

This isn’t a rarity as much as it’s a regularly scheduled and promoted league wide marketing event
