    I would have gone for it on 4th and 4 from the 42 but what do i know about football

    Should have let the Vikings win

    Respectfully I feel like this is a reason why people don’t go public with mental health issues

    Random...he probably did his job by giving the Bears some dirt on Peterson. Shaheen coming out party?

    One thing the Bears have not experienced a lot this year is playing behind and almost never experienced was playing by more than 1 score behind. Could that be a concern if the Eagles strike early and take them out of their game plan? Well, these were the times they were more than 8 points down in a game: @ARI: Down 14-0 in 1st won 16-14 vs NE: Down 38-24 with 8 mins left in game, lost 38-31 @NYG: Down 24-14 with 4 mins left in 3rd, lost 30-27 in OT That’s it. In 2 of the cases they managed to claw back and tie/take the lead (one of them with the aid of a recovered onside kick), and in the other they were 1 yard from tying it (albeit via a completed Hail Mary). Seems like no matter what area you try to talk yourself into worrying about the Bears you can find stats that prove that the Bears have excelled in that area. And I don’t think there’s been a Bears team in the past 30 years you can say that about including 06. 16 games and in none of them the Bears were outplayed or outclassed. The NE game was the closest. So while it’s certainly possible the Bears play their worst game of the season and lose tomorrow, it’s just hard to imagine that happening

    I was reading earlier that in his last 3 games, Foles has been getting rid of the ball within like 2.5 seconds which is really really quickly. I am assuming a similar game plan on Sunday as it has given the Bears defense a lot of trouble this year (although I think its been a little better of late)

    this is great:

    Did we get the right Brooks?

    If they're charging $6 a month, I can't imagine the dominant cable providers in Chicago (Comcast and RCN) will pick up the network, right? If they do it will be a pretty big standoff. Will the Cubs offer the channel to streaming providers for a separate fee?

    You didn't like the pick or the fact that they traded to do it? I don't remember anybody on earth not liking that pick. I wasn’t familiar with Miller coming out of college and only had draft reports to go on. So trading up for him I didn’t love. I guess I didnt hate it either, it just wasnt what I really wanted to do at the time. None of that matters, hes awesome and I love him. Yeah I had no idea who he was and didn't love trading up for a WR when we already invested in Robinson and Gabriel in the offseason but as soon as I read the reports on him I was fully on board.

    CBS sports predicts the 50 best players in 5 years. Only one (Javy somewhere in the 30s) is a Cub. Bryant is number 20 but for some reason they predict he will be on the Dodgers in 5 years https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/who-will-be-mlbs-best-50-players-in-five-years-trout-vlad-jr-harper-make-our-projection-on-new-years-2019/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

    I turned on Philly Sports Radio this morning because....well that's just what I do. Anyways, the host was asking callers if they were going to go to Chicago for the game or just wait until next week to go to New Orleans. Honestly though, I didn't read the articles but based on the headlines they should totally feel that way. It's like the Cubs in 2017, coming off a dominating championship season, having an off year but making the playoffs we kind of felt like that.

    I wonder what percentage of 12-4 teams win a bye historically. Has to be over 90%
  15. UMFan83
    Last year’s game against Philly was probably the low point of our season as they absolutely obliterated us with minimal effort on their way to winning the Super Bowl. One year later the Bears will be hosting them in a playoff game. Looking forward to it.

    Nagy’s like “horsefeathers you Parkey I want my point back”

    Bears need to punch this in. The Seahawks/Cardinals game is uncomfortably close
  18. UMFan83
    Well Foles is out with an injury. A hobbled Wentz or their 3rd string QB next week?
  19. UMFan83
    Kevin White gonna be our #1 receiver next week at this rate
  20. UMFan83
    Seahawks only up 1 to Arizona. Something to keep an eye on if the Bears rest the starters in the 2nd half and Minnesota comes back
  21. UMFan83
    Rams now up 21-3. Eagles driving for a score. It’s trending towards Bears-Eagles next week
  22. UMFan83
    Dude Mitch stop ignoring the play clock
  23. UMFan83
    If the Bears are thinking about pulling them 6 minutes in, most of the starters should never have played That doesn’t make sense. The decision is based on game conditions. You can argue that they shouldn’t have played because there was no way the Rams were losing and if that’s your view it’s a valid opinion. I thought that there was at least a fighting chance for the 49ers based on how they’ve played of late. But 1 more TD and it will be pretty clear that the Rams are going to win comfortably Edit: also of concern is that the Seahawks are struggling today although it’s only 3-0 Arizona. If you want to avoid Seattle in round 1 you are keeping an eye on that one before pulling any starters
  24. UMFan83
    Rams about to go up 14-0. Miller injured. I think we are close to pulling starters time
  25. UMFan83
    Oof Miller suffers a non-contact leg injury Edit: or maybe shoulder. Apparently it’s the same shoulder he dislocated earlier this year. Big blow to the playoffs
