NFC North / NFL Thread 2017-18

[RJax55]

The last 24 hours for the Bears organization sums up the franchise perfectly. To think the loss to the Eagles was probably the least interesting.

Virginia will be 95 in January. At some point, her time has to come. That's my only hope with this franchise.

The stale sushi smell could kill her before then.

Can't believe we almost messed up our season tank. We'll never get a top ten pick if we pay like that

[MerrittsMustache]

In his last 32 games as a head coach, Hue Jackson is 2-0 on Christmas Eve and 0-30 in every other game. The Bears play the Browns on December 24.

I was wrong about which NY football team would openly tank this year.

I was wrong about which NY football team would openly tank this year.

Technically, the Jets were trying to tank but did so unsuccessfully. The Giants were trying to be good but have now gone full-blown tank mode.

If they really wanted to "evaluate the roster," they'd start Davis Webb. Since they actually want to lose as many games as possible, they're going with Geno just in case Webb is decent.

So who was arguing in the hallway?



Also, love the line from Fox on the McBride release... "We don't know exactly what we're doing."

Presumably Tre McBride and...someone more important than Tre McBride.

Also, love the line from Fox on the McBride release... "We don't know exactly what we're doing."

That line is great! It was obviously taken out of context but who cares? That one's going to be the headline when discussing the John Fox Era in Chicago.

Not joking, I got an invite to a dinner this coming Tuesday night at Halas Hall. I was going to bring a gas mask and boxing gloves, but somehow I don't think that'll go over very well.

You gonna DM McBride's girlfriend too?

Ha! I just read that story too. I probably don't have enough coin in my checking account to pique her interest.

Take a Halas Hall selfie, tell her you were there for kicker tryouts.

Greg Jennings needs to stop yelling at me.

[Jockey]

Packers defense is worse than MU's.

I was thinking the same thing.  Does he know that he is always yelling?

[wadesworld]

Packers defense is worse than MU's.

The Packers offense is obviously the issue. They haven't picked up a first down in the second half. Not one. 20 points given up with 5 minutes left in the game when you're on the field 75% of the game is pretty good.

[GGGG]

I can't believe they are tied at this point. Not great defensively but absolutely putrid offensively. Hundley is bad.

[Dish]

Perfect meatball Chicago sports fan story about to happen.

Robbie Gould scores 15, Bears with no kicker, score 14.

[GGGG]

Well ok.

Resorted to running the Kaepernick offense with Hundley and they win a game they shouldn't have.

Hundley is essentially a poor mans Kaep, so I guess it makes sense to run his offense.

[Markusquette]

More like the Buccaneers lost a game they should have won

[Jay Bee]

Praise the champions of the North.

Our Minnesota Vikings!!! SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Praise the champions of the North.

Our Minnesota Vikings!!! SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Case Keenum and Latavius Murray (and the defense) leading the charge. Who woulda thunk it?

[MerrittsMustache]

Must not be late enough in December for the Silverdome to implode.

[MU82]

Praise the champions of the North.

Gotta come into the Panther Den next Sunday, my friend!

Unfortunately, our winning streak was snapped in New Orleans today ... gonna start another one next week, though.
