  1. Will be an interesting PSU/OSU game. I think if OSU wins they will have the pole position for number 1 when the first CFP rankings come out since Georgia and Michigan haven't really played anyone. I don't even think OSU is *that* good (relative to most years) but they will have earned it. If PSU wins, then things really get interesting with Michigan having to visit Happy Valley later on.
  2. Deflating INT in FG range and the defense has their worst drive of the game and the Vikings will have a 6 point lead and the ball to start the 3rd.
  3. Yeah not picking on that specific play but just in general. Feels like he’s going back to the mode where he’s anticipating pressure and missing targets downfield. Granted if the line could block for him it would be different but lots of QBs can play well with pass blocking
  4. This is an issue with fields being the QB going forward. Get some pressure on him and he stops seeing the field, starts taking off early or does the deer in headlights thing and gets sacked. sobering reminder of what we have
  5. What happened to using DJ Moore? I get the pass blocking has been terrible but feel like we should be trying to get him involved
  6. What a stupid playcall. I thought they ran there because they were gonna go for it on 4th. I guess it worked out because they got the FG but playing for a 53 yard FG attempt seems silly
  7. Once again replay fucks over the Bears by ignoring clear and irrefutable evidence rules
  8. Negative plays are killing us. Fields with 10 passing yards midway though the 2nd. Something tells me he’s not getting over 200 yards today
  9. lol the Bears send the house and Cousins still has a comfortable pocket to find a first down
  10. Panthers are up 14-0 in Miami….
  11. Hopefully gashing them on the ground will limit their blitzing and we can get more done through the air
  12. Edit: nevermind touchback
  13. The Bears must hate Foreman
  14. What a messy terrible first drive temporarily saved only by Fields running
  15. USC was most recently seen needing triple OT at home to beat Arizona (though Arizona might be decent based on tonight). NDs 2 losses were to number 3 team by a hair, and another undefeated team. Makes sense to me I think given the game was in South Bend. that said, very difficult to play the transitive game with ND. Almost beat OSU, then lose to Louisville who then loses to Pitt while ND beats USC. It’s all very confusing
  16. MCCARTHY
  17. Germany is just repeatedly breaking down our defense in the 2nd half. Dest has been frustrating. Not at all the performance I wanted to see with our best guys out there
  18. World class goal there. Germany was tilting the field towards the end of the half though from what I saw.
  19. How are things going with Purdue?
  20. It seriously looks like when you’d create a character in NBA Live and you’d make him as tall as possible but max out his speed and athleticism
  21. Herbert and ESB were both placed on IR
  22. That sucks for the Brewers but they'll probably find a soft tossing journeyman to put up a 2.75 ERA instead.
  23. Yep, I was one of the rare people who hated the 1 game playoff concept but I prefer that over the best of 3. If they insist on keeping 6 teams, how about they steal a concept from those old multi team tiebreakers that never actually happened: Division winners advance to LDS. The Wild Card team is determined by a 2 game tournament. Using this years 3 NL wild cards, it would look like this: Day 1: Diamondbacks (WC3) at Marlins (WC2) Day 2: Phillies (WC1) at winner of day 1. if that causes logistical problems just make WC1 the home team in game 2. You play the games Monday and Tuesday, LDS starts Thursday.
  24. I think the main thing was him and KBs relationship and I don’t think it was a huge consideration, just a positive for the Cubs. Naming his dog Wrigley was just trolling I’m sure. I don’t think he was begging to go to the Cubs but I think they were one of a handful of teams he was targeting when he was getting ready for free agency. He absolutely would have came if we gave him a reasonable offer. He had to settle for a contract that gave him years over AAV basically in spring training. Cubs (and other teams) had a full offseason to swoop in and offer 8/$240 but we were broke
  25. At least there were some enjoyable games this round and of course plenty of upsets which are more fun for the casual fan. I still don’t like this WC round format and would like them to go back to 4 teams per league though I’ll accept the 5 team format
