How did NE rebound so fast?
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
In addition to the reasons below, they also might have had a truly terrible head coach last year*
Posted by OB25
|
They also shot the moon on FA. Basically all the guys they signed are performing well.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
They didn't, really.
Posted by Sammich It only seems fast because of the space-time anomaly that was 2020-2023.
|
They drafted a great QB and Vrabel is a really solid coach*
Posted by illini21
|
And their schedule was charmin soft*

And their schedule was charmin soft*
Posted by bjl63
|
Good front office, a good coach, and played the easiest schedule in the history of the NFL*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Not sure about their front office. Maye was the obvious pick, the coaches they hired are patriots
Posted by gvibes
|
And now Panthers/Bucs isn’t a winner takes all after all.*
Posted by OB25
|
Need the bucs to win so the saints falcons game is to decide the winner of the NFCS*
Posted by gvibes
|
Both teams have incentive to win, so still a good TV matchup*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Get a chance to watch the suckiest QB to ever suck. Their running game and tet are cool though*
Posted by gvibes
|
Also Derrick Brown is a beast*
Posted by gvibes
|
Damn, no catch*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Holy shit*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Sweet sassy molassey*
Posted by OB25
|
Holy shit, that catch
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Oh damn, so close
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Holy shit!!!! Literally the best catch in history*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
And not to be. Too damn bad. That was incredible*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Underrated pretty shitty throw again*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
This dudes a mutant*
Posted by illini21
|
That could have very easily been PI*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Refs are literally the worst*
Posted by nash
|
Was wide open, Stafford just missed him*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Atlanta just begging to lose the game but Stafford refuses*
Posted by OB25
|
Dots
Posted by illini21
|
Terrible hold call to negate that puka TD catch
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Putting two big games on Saturday is such bullshit for the actual players. Fuck off NFL
Posted by MC
|
It’s the only win or go home game next week. No brainer for prime time. Agree with your

|
Delaying the inevitable with those two teams. Both will be in Cancun in 8 days.
Posted by MC
|
Agreed. I’m here for it.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
If the playoffs hadn’t expanded to 7 teams, GB would have missed the playoffs the last 4 years*
Posted by OB25
|
Is Erin Andrews auditioning for a Missy Elliot video?*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Don’t like the decision to go for 2 at home but the pass was terrible. He was wide open*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Fine with being aggressive for the win. Better throw and it’s a win *
Posted by MC
|
Dammit Josh*
Posted by OB25
|
why go for 2 here?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
I don't get it. There was no way the eagles were going to be able to do anything on offense*
Posted by gvibes
|
Ne is probably winning the division anyway
Posted by apusikam
|
got it. i thought maybe they played each other next week.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
End the game? But at home? *
Posted by harb
|
Tush push buffalo. *
Posted by harb
|
Don't use the timeout but then call the time out anyway
Posted by jdl
|
I get wanting no time left. So taking it at 8 instead of 2 makes no sense*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Right? *
Posted by jdl
|
Seems dumb of Philly not to use their TO there*
Posted by OB25
|
Wow just short*
Posted by PapaDels
|
The bills game has gone plaid *
Posted by illiniranger
|
Wow. What a catch. *
Posted by harb
|
Helmet catch!*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hey Tom, seen that one before?*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Do the Bills know they’re losing?*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Jesus the Bills calls are terrible on this drive*
Posted by PapaDels
|
LOL, WTF are you doing Josh Allen?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Who would be the 6 seed if all 3 NFC West teams finish at 13-4?*
Posted by OB25
|
49ers would be the #1 seed. I think the Rams would be #5 and Seahawks #6
Posted by Orangeillini
|
SEA. if eagles hold on today and next week and bears lose out, SEA @ CHI. Otherwise GB @ CHI*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Oh man what a dumb play by that eagles dude*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Eagles D is dominating today. *
Posted by harb
|
So what is the "tuck rule" again? *
Posted by jdl
|
Mike Tomlin to the New York Giants via trade*
Posted by Poldark "But Jesus Christ guys, not every loss is referendum on Brad Underwood"
|
That would be dumb by the Giants.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Bears likely no. 2 seed.
Posted by gullit
|
Pretty much playing for pride tonight if Eagles lose this afternoon.
Posted by OB25
|
One of the stupidest plays you’ll ever see by the jags defender*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
bucs and panthers with a possible 8-9 winner take all game?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Browns win their SB. Steelers suck and will lose next week.*
Posted by nash
|
has to be the sunday night game right?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
SF/Sea and Hou/Jax look like better games to me
Posted by MC
|
Those aren’t win or go home, are they?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Houston/Jax don't play each other, Houston-Indy/Jax-TN but don't disagree with the thought*
Posted by illini222
|
Oh that’s less fun. Thought they played each other *
Posted by MC
|
Watched the game because I had Steelers in survivor - horrific offensive performance. *
Posted by MC
|
Would much rather see Lamar and Henry in the playoffs*
Posted by OB25
|
Not even remotely. They Steelers are total trash.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Delete. I think I misinterpreted your post.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
They’ll choke again too but I agree.*
Posted by nash
|
I don’t think it’s a choke if you’re the worst team in the AFC playoff field. Which they would be *
Posted by MC
|
no doubt.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Drake Maye is ass.
Posted by Sammich
|
I really would have preferred that Bryce Young didn’t barf a fart in this game*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
He is pants*
Posted by gvibes
|
quite the game for chase brown so far today*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
DJ Moore (illness) questionable for tonight *
Posted by MC
|
There is some nasty stuff tearing through the Midwest right now*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Zaccheaus, too. But Wright is flying to SF today*
Posted by AintHatin
|
Wtf, are we even going to be able to fill out a 3 WR set? *
Posted by meanjeans
|
walker represent!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Kittle “highly unlikely” to play*
Posted by AintHatin
|
that wouldn’t even it out a bit.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Even in my most optimistic takes, I didn’t think the bears would win the north. *
Posted by VIV
|
I predicted 11-6 but didn’t think that would be good enough to win*
Posted by gvibes
|
With a week still to go, no less *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Now onto the not giving it back part*
Posted by illini222
|
If Philly loses tomorrow, worst we can be is the 2, right?*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I think so. Would much rather 2 seed vs GB versus playing whoever is the #3 NFCW team*
Posted by gvibes
|
Yeah the scenario of playing the Packers in the first round doesn’t scare me as much as it did*
Posted by illini21
|
The bad man can’t hurt you guys anymore.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Cheese grater hats on the sidelines. Bears should really try to get the 1 seed
Posted by Toonces
|
I’m all for the cheese grater hat becoming a thing*
Posted by illini21
|
It’s very funny, did not expect to see it on the sidelines though lol.*
Posted by Toonces
|
At Green Bay, no less. :-)))
Posted by osklister
|
Henry probably solo winning more fantasy championships than about anyone else in history*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
LT, CMC, Priest Holmes just off the top of my head all have had better seasons than DH’s best*
Posted by ilinni11
|
Strictly meant this championship week*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Ah, yeah, you’re probably right on that*
Posted by ilinni11
|
This is so satisfying *
Posted by illini21
|
Really smart by lafleur*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Kings of the North, bitch*
Posted by illini21
|
Henry is absurd. I don’t know how the ravens have fucked this season up*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
He’s the best running back of all time and I don’t think it’s particularly close
Posted by illini21
|
Hasn’t he had a couple key fumbles that cost them games?*
Posted by assassin
|
Not sure if cost but definitely had fumbling problems. Still though*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Ha, well you asked how they fucked it up. They have, IIRC, 2 losses
Posted by assassin
|
By not giving the ball to Henry
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
And their MVP QB has been barely average(if that) after returning from injury*
Posted by ilinni11
|
Lamar is good and fun and also very overrated. Has repeatedly failed in the playoffs*
Posted by bjl63
|
That Lamar story from this week by the beat writer was really something*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Oooo….got a link??*

Sun columnist that has been around for awhile

Some screenshots
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah…..those are rather concerning for the Ravens*
Posted by ilinni11
|
Hundo P on the rant. You’re stepping over dollars to pick up nickels
Posted by ilinni11
|
Baltimore defense is pitiful*
Posted by Mrap24
|
They’re not even pretending to try *
Posted by Randle McMurphy
|
I mean Green Bay’s is much worse*
Posted by illini21
|
I don’t know, I think 11 of us can score on Baltimore. They can’t stop a nosebleed*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Bro do you see the score lol*
Posted by illini21
|
Packers d is vile as well*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I’ll say*
Posted by illini21
|
11 of us can absolutely score in them*
Posted by Mrap24

Hundo P*

Someone is going to throw a pretty solid bag at Malik Willis.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
looked like best QB in the game against the bears*
Posted by cpsteine
|
And yikes. A non contact throwing shoulder injury. *
Posted by VIV
|
Yeah he’s in the last year of his rookie contract *
Posted by biclops
|
For sure. He looks like he can play.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Arizona, come on down!*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Ravens, SWEEP THE LEG!!!!*
Posted by shua
|
Fart noise. Ravens defense is putrid*
Posted by Mrap24
|
So much for that*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
That was satisfying *
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Would a GB win make a bears first round playoff more or less likely?
Posted by Toonces
|
A GB loss would lock them into the 7 seed. A GB win would preserve 2 things, both of which make a

Got it, ty.*
Posted by Toonces
|
baltimore is destroying gb’s run defense. good for the beloved in the short and long term.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Huntley could have run in on that one*
Posted by Mrap24
|
That was some awful coverage*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Malik Willis 2-2 for 79 yards and a TD on the opening drive wtf*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
It only took 17 weeks, but seems Monken realized Henry is fucking beast*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
He still has plenty of time to stop giving him the ball
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
That's not a call you can make there*
Posted by illini222
|
That was definitely a game changing play and questionable as well. *
Posted by harb
|
Same as the one they called against Houston on LA's last drive
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Both weren't great*
Posted by illini222
|
Agreed
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
I’m not saying dicker is throwing this game. But I’m not not saying it*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
The roughing calls randomly arise from football plays
Posted by apusikam
|
That is such horseshit*
Posted by illini21
|
If GB loses tonight the Bears are Division champs no matter what right?*
Posted by illini21
|
Yes
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Caleb has had his issues. But he hasn’t throw anything as bad as those 2 back to back picks*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hilariously bad football. Both teams should be expelled from the playoffs*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Stupidity continues. HTN D is good but otherwise these teams stink*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
This last minute or so is such a clusterfuck by both teams
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Also Rich Eisen & Kurt Warner are terrible at announcing a game
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

Darnell Wright’s sick. Not traveling with the team to SF. Questionable for Sunday*
Posted by AintHatin

didn’t all this start with bagent?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Reminds me, kind of odd how Braxton Jones and Kiran Amegadjie just ninja smoked out of the season.

Goddamit*

Raiders and Maxx Crosby are on the outs. Raiders shut him down for the year and he didn't like it.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
It's all performative smoke screen for the Tank Bowl.*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Crosby doesn’t seem like he’d be on board with some tanking shit if he’s healthy to play.*

burden is a go for sunday; mccloud & rome out; blackwell (dnp), cj (full), edwards (limited),

At this point, is the earliest we see Rome for the playoffs?

i would think so.*

Love is out for GB*

at least booker got his money's worth.*

Things I will never feel bad about as a bears fan*

I do not dislike Love as a person at all. Far nicer human than Favre and Rodgers.

Nothing about Denver impresses me*

Definitely no fear facing them *
Posted by PapaDels
|
Vikings had 161 yards. Good thing they were +6 on turnovers.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
so one bears win or packers loss and the beloved are locked into no worse than the 2 seed?
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Bears could be the #3 seed if they lose twice, Packers lose at least once & Eagles win twice*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
2 Bears wins + 1 Seahawks loss = #1 seed*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Thats what I want
