I don't know if I can handle seeing him in purple. That [expletive] sucks. How about navy and orange? Doubt that would happen though. While Harris even at this stage would probably be an upgrade over our DBs, I don't see this being an Angelo type of move.

I dont fault ESPN for dumping the NHL. I don't either. It's just funny they want back in now.
-
when was the last time Gameday was on a campus that was hosting a 3:30 game? The primetime games must be awful Last week? Weren't they in Salt Lake City last week for TCU-Utah or am I imagining things

LOL ESPN basically left the NHL for dead several years back, losing broadcasting rights while dropping NHL coverage to nothing more than a 3 minute segment on Sportscenter. I don't even think they sent guys on location for big events like the Stanley Cup Finals (could be wrong though). Anyways, the NHL has a tiny bit of momentum now so it's nice to see ESPN wants back. It will be interesting to see if/when their hockey coverage explodes if they acquire the rights.

But the scenario is what would happen if the Packers were 1 game back and won the Week 17 game, which means that if both teams win the rest of their other divisional games, both teams would wind up 5-1 in the division. And in that case the tiebreaker would move to conference record where at the moment it's almost impossible to tell who would have the advantage. Agreed. Meaning, it's far too early to tell who would win the tie breaker if the Packers beat the Bears in week 17.
-
The packers don't even have to stumble against Minnesota or detroit due to the bears already having a game better than gb in the division. While it's not likely that the bears will win all 3 of their other divisional games it is still a scenario that could occur. Sorry I'm being a stickler but when I read your post it seemed like you were all but giving the packers the tie breaker which there is still a lot of stuff going on to decide that. Regardless being the negative bears fan I am, I don't see that game having any meaning for the bears.
-
Why would winning the game in week 17 mean they get the division. The Bears haven't lost the division record tiebreaker yet, in fact they are 2-0 in the division, and the Packers 2-1.
-
Cup hangover. Is there any other explanation for several of the top players from last year's team completely underperforming to start the year? I guess it could still be a slow start, and an adjustment period with all the new players, but even so the level of play right now is pathetic.

Way too many. Don't forget we played there in 2007 too. I remember the NFL giving the BS answer of 'well that's just how it falls with our strength of schedule formula." It doesn't happen that many times in a row by coincidence. Well considering the format for schedule making was set years in advance, I don't see how anyone could possibly claim a conspiracy. The Bears just played 3 years in a row against the Saints at Soldier field (2006, 2007, 2008) and won all 3. Coincidence? The opponents are choose years in advance, but I don't think the location is set in stone. I could be wrong tho. I'm almost positive they've always had a formula for home/road teams. It's just pure coincidence that it happened that way.

Every week it seems Jerry Jones gives Phillips a vote of confidence that he's not going to make a HC change during the season, and every week the Cowboys keep getting worse and worse. What a trainwreck. The thing is, Dallas still has a good amount of talent. They've obviously completely given up, which says a lot about the coaching and makeup of the team. So what if you are playing for pride, you have half the season left and getting paid to give a damn and play harder than they've been playing.

They got to see some fights and hear Chelsea Dagger play. Why would they boo?
-
So...2 regulation losses at home in the span of 10 days to the team that finished last in the conference last year and appears to be just as bad this year. The Hawks are 1-4-0 in their last 5 home games. They lost 8 games all year at home last year. What a mess.

I'll just laugh

I knew he had a boot but damn

He was also in net last week when they played in Chicago and the oilers killed us. But yes it's always nice to see an old friend.

Two straight challenges taking away 6 fantasy points from me. I'm sure the next one will be a handoff to McCoy for a score.

Bears Game 8: Sunday Nov 7 at Buffalo (Toronto) on Fox

Same. Qb rating can be misleading. The biggest reason the bills were in the game is because the bears consistently allows them to convert third downs, a majority of which were 3rd and longs. -

And the Bears can't clinch the game by gaining 1 yard on the ground against the 29th best run d. That 1 yard might change the course of our season. -

It's funny that if we win this this deciding factor will be a blocked XP. Without that the score is 21-21. -
