*visits the College Football thread*

Sounds like they are likely to approve the 24 team playoff. I HATE the 12 team playoff, and I'd still prefer less teams. I've honestly watched a fraction of college football compared to the 4 team era. Like literally as I'm typing this, I just realized that Georgia/Bama played last weekend and I had no idea who won. In previous years I would have been glued to my TV to see who wins. But both teams will probably make the playoffs so meh. Anyways, I actually think a 24 team playoff might be better than 12 team though (but not 4 team). I think it basically makes it so the first round is like those 2nd tier bowl games and they now have stakes instead of meaningless with half the players sitting out (not sure if they'd be played as bowl games or on campus). It keeps more teams invested in the season. Like right now I'm completely checked out on Michigan's season. I've watched preseason UM basketball games and don't plan to watch whoever the football team is playing next weekend. In a 24 team playoff there would still be some interest in seeing if they could get their horsefeathers together. Regardless, it's never going to be like when I'd check my phone and see an unranked Texas A&M is winning vs. undefeated Alabama late and racing to the TV to see if the entire college season will be upended. Those days are sadly over forever.

Hamp and OB are so pacifying after a loss like that. I can overreact plenty and know that I won’t overreact as much as they do

Vikings 5-0 and already has a H2H win over the Bears. Still plenty of time to catch up but yeah, not a good day for the Bears

Rome is not getting a 2nd contract with the Bears.

I'm starting to think that giving a CB a second contract is as bad as giving a RB a second contract except for a few special cases.

One of the things that bother me is I've seen a lot of missed blocks, completely unblocked defenders etc as this game has gotten out of hand. I'm sure Ben is going to see that on tape

I am wondering if someone off the street would be better than Jaylon Johnson. Just a completely embarrassing game from him.

If you could map out a worst case scenario for this game going in, it probably wouldn’t be as bad as how it’s gone

If you need a backup RB the rest of the game put Ahmed in

Bears can’t run their offense with Bagent. Time to consider Case

They just embarrassed Dennis Allen there. Spent the first half with a lot of screens, runs and short passes. Come out the second half half and caught our secondary flat footed on 3-4 straight plays.

What the heck has happened to Loveland? I’m so perplexed why he’s once again invisible. I know they are using their TEs a lot to block but they’re also very useful to get short gains and create matchup problems. 0 targets in the first half I believe

I’m ok with pulling Bagent for Case but I’m not sure the outcome changes. He doesn’t seem like he’s the type of guy at this stage of his career that leads a team back from 2 TD deficits

It was fun laughing at the Packers for an offseason
