This is the end: Vikings @ Bears 1/8 Noon Fox
WrigleyField 22 replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
Yep those are the scenarios and right now I think the most to least likely is: 2 1 4 3 Basically a better chance of both Arizona and Denver losing than one winning so 4th more likely than 3rd. I'll run full numbers, but I think first place outs still win out over 4th place odds. -
Yea I'll be just fine if my son never has interest in tackle football. I played from 4th grade through senior year. I saw two really gruesome injuries, on a broken femur and the other a really serious head trauma that ended a teammates playing days. The latter fortunately I think ended up alright long term, though I don't know for sure as I haven't talked to him in over a decade. Just very casually keep up on social media. But even with those I probably could rationalize the risks pretty easily, but the more I see and read, I'd just prefer he doesn't play at all.

Yea I have a feeling Buffalo and Cincy just have a 16 game schedule. I certainly don't think Buffalo is going to have that be top of mind, and it likely doesn't affect Cincy in the standings anyways. It's honestly hard to imagine what the Buffalo players will have to do to even be ready for week 18. Due to the trauma, anything will probably be a rush job and mentally unhealthy for those players.

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
WrigleyField 22 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
There's always minor coach changes, but yea, I'm not expecting anything at the coordinator level, baring some crazy circumstance. The OL coach I don't think has deep ties to Getsy. Wonder if he's a fall guy. Wonder about the WR coach/ passing coordinator too. He was highly touted, but the pass scheme failed to get guys open. Obvious talent discrepancy aside, that's a huge question for the O scheme. The DL and Asst DL coach also weren't Flus guys that came over with him. Easy fall guys there for their worst unit. -
I've had a similar thought, my guess is at a certain point the NFL starts dinging you for doing so given how they tend to evaluate players, maybe excepting for players a true cut above the rest. I also think this will probably have some tension with NIL stuff going forward too. Boosters paying big sponsorship bucks probably aren't going to be too jazzed about recipients skipping games that matter. That's a good point. Are there restrictions on how NIL can be structured? Can NIL be a per game basis or contingent on something like participation in bowl games?
-
Not meant as a critique of players, but if the playoff is fine to skip, what's even the point of playing the last few games? At a certain point the top picks have enough tape. What's the difference of even playing into November?
-
Apparently this is his agent/rep I don't really know what they means. I assume that's still critical condition?
-
They aren't going to modify the playoff schedule and, outside of that, there simply isn't enough time to work with. Both teams are already in the playoffs, so this is a pretty easy decision. Cancel the game and wherever the teams fall in terms of winning percentage is where they are seeded. While acknowledging that this is the least important part of this situation, curious to see how fantasy leagues handle this as I'm sure there are a ton of championship games that are resting on this game given how many fantasy relevant players are on the 2 teams. As a commish, I'd personally just call it however it stands. The two guys in my championship both have guys tonight, with one heavily favored. But oh well. Sure it's a freak absolutely unplannable thing, and any losers are welcome to cry about it. JMO
-
Yea, even given the extreme lack of investment in this team, that's... Really bad.
-
Not that it matters now, but my first seed team had its lowest score of the season last week round one of playoffs. Not to be outdone, it's setting a new low water mark again this week (in meaningless 3rd place game)
-
I threw a bet at Dallas-KC Super Bowl Pairing at +1850 Am I 1) idiot 2) smart 3) just vibing ?
-
Playing playoff spoiler for a division rival is never meaningless. Especially for the kneecap biting coach.
-
Spoiler tag for how much I care about rushing record.
-
:beg: I wanna see a damn XFL roster out there next week.
-
Vikings expected W-L through 16 games is 7.56-8.44. 12-4 and a negative point differential is amazing. They're likely first round playoff opponent is NY Giants, who after today have an even point differential. I mean they'll still wipe the Bears, but damn.
-
Well Vikings might play for seeding, but 49ers hold the tiebreaker so even that is one where they don't control their own destiny. That said they'll definitely want to get back on track after that stinker. Still not concerned about Bears effin up the 2 pick. And still pretty bullish on the Texans vs Colts tank-fest going their way.
-
Are all the top NFC seeds gonna go down? SF down 24-14. Vikings down 24-3
-
Early change to Bears odds at 24% next week. Was I think 27% before the game. Texans up to 30% (was 28%). So about a 23% chance at one. 23% chance at 3 or 4, and 54% at number 2.
-
Well top 4 locked up. Denver still trying to take the lead late, which would lock up top 3. Zona blew it though. Edit- Denver just turned over on downs. So that's a game.
-
Yea Broncos down 10, they're done. Zona still in it. Still mostly irrevelant if this is the Bears for next week. Also, Saints still up 10, setting up Minny to be playing for the bye next week. Broncos say, "not so fast", just scored a TD.
-
Arizona back up with the lead.
-

Does it matter whether Minnesota wins today?Yes. The need to win to keep bye alive. Could still be playing for seeding either way.
-
Cheering for a throw away St Brown anytime TD bet I made. Would be nice consolation prize.

Yes, and next week becomes largely irrelevant. Always a chance the Texans beat the Colts but based on the way they’re playing today they know they can’t afford to win any more games this year. Colts also look awful. Could be some real sicko football in that one. With the possible Arizona and Denver results, Indy could be playing to lock up the 3 pick.
