Offensive penalties are horsefeathering killing me.
-
Agreed but winning is low on their list of priorities
-
Will the DL get to the QB even once the rest of the season?
-
It literally doesn’t matter what the Lions do on 1st down. Goff could have a snap go over his head for a 20 yard loss. They will still convert it with ease
-
-
Bears get 3rd and 14: run the ball or have a drop back with immediate pressure and no open WR Lions get a 3rd and 15: calmly survey the field with no pressure and find a WR 25 yards down the field without anyone within 5 yards of them.
-
First real holding call on Jones. Lions defense did a nice job containing fields on that set of downs but it’s easier when you are in 2nd and 16/3rd and 14 situations
-
Another penalty going to kill a scoring drive unless fields does some magic
-
Fields is starting to anticipate pressure. He had a guy that looked ready to blindside him and he scrambled and flipped to Kmet for a 9 yard gain
-
My thoughts watching that kick return: no Herbert no stop. Don’t deny fields another possession
-
Watching this defense makes me even angrier that we settled for 3. Not that this wasn’t expected
-
Run on 3rd and 14?
-
Holy hell this is a machine

Yeah OSU is much better positioned. Basically there’s 5 “teams” for 1 spot: Clemson/UNC winner USC Michigan/OSU loser Tennessee LSU I guess I would think Tennessee is going to be the pick in that scenario. The key for a team like Mich/OSU is TCU losing a game. In that case Tennessee moves to a lock (assuming they win their next 2 games which are South Carolina and Vandy. Let’s also assume Georgia beats LSU. Now 4 teams for 1 spot: Mich/OSU Clemson/UNC USC TCU I’m not sure the committee wants to take 2 non-conference champions who didn’t make their championship game and I don’t think they want the CFP to be 2 SEC and 2 Big Ten teams so it’s going to be difficult for a 2nd Big Ten team. The SEC is the only conference to have multiple teams in the CFP and with the Big Ten being down this year + Michigans NC schedule (if it’s them), I don’t see this being the first year another conference gets 2 teams in

Not great for Harry. And no Jenkins is yikes

We beat everybody but Purdue, but we’ll lose to you by 25 next week and somebody will probably finish with 3 losses. Iowa and Minnesota play next week so one of them will have 4 losses. Iowa has tiebreaker over Purdue, Purdue over Minnesota. Assuming the Michigan loss, if it gets to 4 losses, Illinois has the tiebreaker with every team but Purdue, and would win any multi team tiebreaker except 3 way with Purdue/Minnesota So this scenario seems relatively reasonable and makes a 5 way tie. Assuming Illinois would win that tie due to being 3-1 against the others? Illinois: L @ Mich, W @ NU Purdue: W vs NU, L @ IU Iowa: L @ Minn, W vs Neb Minn: W vs Iowa, L @ Wisc Wisc: W @ Neb, W vs Minn H2H: Ill 3-1 Wisc 2-2 Minn 2-2 Iowa 2-2 Pur 2-2
-
B1G West is a complete mess wow. Looks like there will be 4 teams tied at 4-3. Hopefully someone works out the tiebreakers because I’m too lazy. Really wanted Illinois in the Big Ten title game
-
Emoni Bates looks legit. Maybe he was just motivated by Michigan spurning him when he wanted to transfer here but he looked like a star. That said Michigans defense looks even worse than last years. Yikes

LOL, it's pretty hilarious. ESPN and NFL Network are talking about the Bears in a positive light, not just after a primetime embarrassing loss. I've even seen some say the Bears can make a run at a playoff spot in a weak NFC. Obviously, the Bears and Fields himself have a long way to go. I think he'll have to show that he can put up big numbers thru the air before he will be universally regarded as "elite". But it's fun seeing everyone doing victory laps if they believed from the start, and eating crow if they thought like Mike Martz. lol at the playoffs talk. If the Bears can’t win with Fields putting up historically great numbers, I can’t see them making a run against I think one of the hardest remaining schedules in the league. Then you add in the fact that the bears are barely disguising their desire to tank (for example look at the Bears offensive pace when down 2 scores in the 4th quarter against Dallas). Nah I’ll just enjoy Fields balling out, hoping for them to win but not too disappointed if they lose
-
The media is hilarious with how they drive narratives. 4 weeks ago Fields was a bust and the Bears would probably be looking for QBs in the draft. After 3 games of stellar play now the conversation is how elite Fields is and whether he's a top 10 QB and how he's the best QB in his draft class. I'm not saying I disagree with those narratives, he has been extremely good the last 3 weeks. It's just funny how quickly the narrative changes, I've seen like 20 articles/clips from taking heads this week discussing how elite Fields is. Really exciting time to be a Bears fan right now

Can someone sell me on Dansby Swanson not being an infield Heyward without bringing up his vaccination status?

2022 Complain about your fantasy team that no one cares about discussion
UMFan83 replied to UMFan83's topic in Fantasy Sports
Played Patterson (2.5 points) over Foreman (21.0 points) and left Drake London (12.3 points) on my bench. Week is off to a great start. WTF is up with Patterson? He only played maybe 30% of the snaps tonight. -
so not excited by the 9s . . . I have to admit I have low hopes for this world cup. getting out of the group would be a pleasant surprise. Kind of how I feel too but not sure how much those WC tune ups are distorting my expectations. Just doesn't seem like there are many forwards on the roster who are in good form heading into this tournament. Have to win a match 1-0 and draw one 0-0 to advance lol

Dunno about this team
