The Rams have nothing to play for if the Bears are say 20+ points down right?

A guy who better do whatever he can to stay on the Packer’s roster if he wants to stay in the league.

That quite possibly stands as a fumble. Look, Rodgers knows all these stunt schemes, many times he’s either going to flat out see it before it happens, or he knows it’s one of two possibilities as the ball is snapped. Gambling on blitzes will work way less than other teams. Way less.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

Murray warming up on the sideline.

Like, make a horsefeathering tackle.

All I have to do is say something and the opposite immediately happens, it seems. I didn’t see this kind of a trouncing, holy crap. They’re making Clemson’s D look stupid.

Why do teams abandon what got them a big lead in the first place? Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the beginning of a Clemson comeback. Not that I’ll be broken up about it.

Unfortunately the Bears will already be down 35-10 so they won't be able to mount that comeback :D That's a certainty, there's nothing good coming from this Bears season, they've won too many games thereby, eliminating any chance at drafting a QB. They'll lose to GB in most heart breaking, kick in the balls manner which will enable them to miss the playoffs. Maybe a GB sweep will seal the fate of Pace and Nagy, that could be a good result. Just for horsefeathers and giggles I looked at Jimmy Graham' stats, one could argue he's having his best season since 2017 with SEA, a pro bowl season. Kind of surprising given he had Rodgers as his QB the previous two seasons of course, some no name GB TE is currently having the season of his life. Robert Tonyan. In the interest of being fair to him, the Packers have been bringing him along since 2017, after the Lions discarded him. So good for him for hanging around until he got his chance. I just think he's a product of Rodgers just like many others, and will disappear if he leaves GB. Kind of sick of seeing him make big catch after big catch!

Both the Saints (@ Panthers) and the Seahawks (@ 49ers) will be getting crushed by halftime, and the Packers being the charitable blokes they are will pull all their starters and let the Bears win.

Doh.

Panthers really have no incentive to tank. They could take a QB, but still should be in Zach Wilson range (if he doesn't go 2). But since they don't necessarily NEED to take a QB, they won't be pressed to move up. They can sit back, take Wilson, the best lineman, any defensive position, or Kyle Pitts. They had no incentive to win either. They went from drafting 3rd to 9th with that win. Do football teams really tank though? Player careers are short and fragile, many coaches get one shot to be a HC, many FO guys this is their one chance to lead a franchise. Jets had zero incentive to win too, yet they are playing their best ball of the season right now.

I love football in the snow. Not playing it. Watching it.

For whatever reason the Rams aren’t the team they were when they wiped the field with our defense earlier in the season. AZ can definitely win that game. BTW that’s a home game for the Rams but will they move it elsewhere because of restrictions?

Such as the Rams, losing to the Jets. Kind of unsettling when we’d like their help next week.

Sayers and Butkus’ rookie years, Sayers lit up the league with 22 TD, including the fabled 6 TD game (which my Dad was at).

They did. I’m not what is worse, losing to the Jets in the playoff hunt or beating the Browns in the draft pick hunt.

The white RB thing is Packers.

No affliction, just bad through and through. Glennon never looked like this and they kept dropping him back to get clobbered. No thought given to this kind of scheme with quick throws. He’s decent at it. Nay, not buying the standard explanation anymore. Bears can’t coach QB, can’t scheme QB. It’s not the entire problem, but a significant part of it. That said, at the moment it looks much better in terms of scheming to Mitch’s strengths. Maybe this is where we finally take a serviceable guy and give him a shot to hang in the league. Still want to say that Glennon looks much better than he did on the Bears? Down by more than one TD, needing to drop back in the pocket and survey the field, in an attempt to load the team on his shoulder and engineer a comeback? No. He looks exactly like he did with the Bears needing to play like that. Never said he would suddenly better in that situation.

You seem to be arguing Bears coaching is just fine offensively. Not a position I’d plant my flag on, but OK. the bears have had bad coaches and good coaches. there have been many coaches. what they haven't had is a good quarterback and that hasn't been because of coaching. Gotta get something more from a less-than-special QB than we have. That’s all I’m really trying to say here. What do you see today BTW? Knowing Mitch will never justify his draft position, this is how I’d like to see him used to maximize what he can give us.

Well the last 2 from the Jags was just the 1-13 in them rearing its head. Mitch’s throw was a Trubie special. It’s like you don’t want him to gain TOO much confidence because then he starts to think, maybe now I can do what never works.

God.

glennon looked fine at times on the bears too there isn't some magical affliction that gets coaches and quarterbacks to suddenly forget how to do their jobs here. bad quarterbacks are easy to find. good ones are hard to find. the bears have had lots of bad ones, and mike glennon is one of them.

Maybe but it would be good to see how his play is affected if the Bears managed to get within 5 feet of him Yeah I’m watching the line and not seeing anyone come off a one-on-one block on pass plays. JAX has a good plan with the quick throws but still, I expect way more and it’s not happening.
