    Not sure how reliable his sources are but he is saying that the Cubs aren’t going to be involved in FA at all, not even tier 2 guys. https://www.cubsinsider.com/2018/11/28/already-longshots-for-harper-cubs-might-even-avoid-next-tier-of-free-agents-with-eye-on-2020/

    Wrong former Cub named Torr(ey)es acquired from the Yankees.

    It's amazing that Charles the Cat is the only reporter that has any rumors at all about the Cubs so far and they almost all seem to be what we want to hear.

    The Cubs were close to a deal but #PTR refused to throw in a new pair of shades to seal it.

    If they tie any game, tiebreakers could come into play with Vikes for the division. Or if they lose grounds to the Vikes, tiebreakers could come into play for WC. Ties, though more prevalent this season, have occurred in 2 of 176 games, about a 1% occurrence. Planning for that possibility is a waste of effort. As for tiebreakers for wild cards, the Bears own the tiebreaker with Seattle, and they've got the common opponent tiebreaker with Carolina wrapped up, being 4-0 vs 2-2 with just the Giants game remaining. What about 3+ team tiebreakers?

    At this point I should not expect Michigan to ever beat OSU again right?
  8. UMFan83
    Wow just need to beat NYG and SF to pretty much guarantee playoffs
  9. UMFan83
    Let’s wait until there is 0:00 on the clock

    Bears defense outscored the Lions offense 7-3 in the 4th quarter and forced 2 TOs. Edit: so far
  11. UMFan83
    Why? If he kicks an XP, the Lions kick an XP afterwards and it’s still the same difference in scores

    This has been Kyle’s narrative all week. He’s going to die on this hill Most fourth quarter points allowed in the NFL. Getting shredded on multiple drives this game late. It’s weird that you guys are pretending you don’t see it What do you attribute it to? Poor conditioning?
  13. UMFan83
    Well that’s going to happen when Mack is out Fake edit: oh wait he’s been playing?
  14. UMFan83
    Ugh Lions are totally gonna score and go for 2 aren’t they? Alternate scenario: Bears tie and then the divisional tiebreaker becomes a thing again Don’t get me wrong I’d rather tie and deal with that than lose
  15. UMFan83
    Not true This has been Kyle’s narrative all week. He’s going to die on this hill But my question is what defense doesn’t disappear to some extent when tired?
  16. UMFan83
    Why do the Lions keep throwing on 3rd and short? It’s mostly worked but still. I thought for sure when they threw on 3rd they did that with the intention of going for it on 4th and inches from the 2 but they kicked the FG. Strange
  17. UMFan83
    Now would be a good time for a turnover
  18. UMFan83
    I don’t necessarily feel great when Daniel is throwing downfield but will admit he’s made some pretty nice throws today Definitely not a Todd Collins/Jonathan Quinn level of bad backup QB
  19. UMFan83
    Wow D just gashed apart on that drive.
  20. UMFan83
    We’re gonna lose 10-9 aren’t we? Lol
  21. UMFan83
    I loved the decision to go for 2 the two times they did it last week but for some reason I hated this one :D
  22. UMFan83
    Wow that was like a series of unfortunate breaks leading to a TD
  23. UMFan83
    They pass on 4th and inches and the pass is tipped and somehow they still get a first down. Dammit
  24. UMFan83
    Yeah whoops. Good call. Like the idea of throwing the first 3 plays but Daniel certainly looked off
  25. UMFan83
    Well hopefully they can win because unless they tie again, either the Packers or Vikings will be back to 0.5 games back on Sunday if they don’t. That said because they both have a tie, tiebreaker are a lot less of a concern so it doesn’t really matter too much if the loss is divisional or not.
