Wow, the Bears defense stops the Bills and they miss a FG. Bears still up 10-6.

Santos says screw the wind and nails a FG, 10-6 Bears.

Fields came into the game needing 40 rushing yards to pass Vick for the 2nd most in a season for a QB. He has 7 yards, needs 33 more.

They went BPA, which is tough when you had so many holes on offense, but it is the best way to build the roster. You need as many blue chippers as possible. I was hard on Gordon all year, so I am glad he is making me look like an ass.

Brisker sacks Allen on 3rd Down, almost a sack, and the Bills are forced to punt. Rookies all over making plays, love to see it. Regardless of the outcome of this game, Gordon, Brisker, Jones (finally), and Gill all making impact plays.

Bears can't get much going, then Mustipher snaps it sideways and the Bears have to punt. Gill booms a 63 yarder and pins the Bills back deep.

Kyler Gordon with another pick and nice return. He is on fire. Wow. He has been night and day after coming back after missing that game.

Kmet with a drop, -1. Velus now with 2 good run backs on kickoffs and a nice quick slant reception. Bears can't convert on 4th Down, Bills take over. Now the Bears defense cannot stop the run. LBs look terrible. Bears win the 1st quarter 7-6. They hung with the AFC #1 seed, now they can tank.

I would rather they play man instead of zone against Allen. He picks apart zone coverage.

Bears still lead 7-6 after a missed XP by Bass.

Bills score on TD to Davis. No pash rush, easy pass. Jaylon Jones and Brisker -1.

Morrow -1 on long run by Cook. He was out of position and didn't even attempt to get back.

At least they are calling penalties even. Borom's hold was obvious. Now Bills with a hold called. Nice to see it even for once.

Merry Christmas Gents! I hope you all are staying warm and enjoying the holiday!

Gordon with a great PBU on Diggs. +1 for Gordon

Wow Bears with an insanely impressive drive to open the game. Buffalo had no answer for the Bears offense, Fields to Pettis for 6.

Great fake pitch to left, rollout to right, then throw to the 2nd level to Pringle.

Feels like 12 below zero to open the game. Bears get the ball to start.

This is going to be an ugly game, Johnson now on IR: So our CBs are Gordon, Jaylon Jones, and Josh Blackwell with DHC and Brisker at Safety. No Sanborn, no Jackson, now no Johnson.

I know, me 2! It opens up so many options for the Bears. Once you start dropping, you are then settling for what is left. I almost feel like #2 is the most valuable pick in the draft because HOU has to draft a QB at #1. That leaves every other player or a trade available to you. No other pick really has that flexibility. Once you get to #3, there is a chance 2 QBs are off the board AND there is even a chance that both Carter and Anderson are off the board, or one or the other. So at #3, you are already settling.

I wanted Jones or Trask, boy was I off. I didn't think Lawrence or Wilson would be available at #20 so I really didn't look into them that much. I was leery of Fields because of his performance against Alabama. Fields did not look good in the Natty compared to Jones. Jones had 464 yards passing and 5 TDs and Fields had 194 yards and 1 TD. In comparison, Trask played the same Alabama defense a few weeks earlier and put up 408 yards passing and 3 TDs. If you can only go off the tape, how would you not conclude that Trask or Jones were better? Here were their WR/TEs: Jones: Smith, Waddle, Metchie Fields: Olave, Wilson, Smith-Njigba Trask: Toney, Pitts, Grimes I would say Jones and Fields Receiving Corps were fairly equal and Trask probably had the weakest group. So if Trask can do that against Alabama, why didn't Fields? Somewhat of a weird comparison, Fields had 194 yards passing, 67 yards rushing, and 1 TD against Alabama in his last college game and now for his NFL career he is averaging 157 passing yards, 57 rushing yards, and 0.9 TDs per game.

Elgton Jenkins signed an extension with Packers, he is off the market.

2. CHI 3-11 BUF @DET MIN 3. DEN 4-10 @LAR @KC LAC 4. LAR 4-10 DEN @LAC @SEA 5. ARZ 4-10 TB @ATL @SF The Christmas day game of DEN@LAR will basically lock the Bears into a top 4 pick. If ARZ can beat ATL next week, that would make it a top 3 pick (even with a win). If DEN doesn't win on Christmas, I doubt they win another game with KC and LAC next. LAR could potentially beat SEA, especially if SEA is out of the playoffs by then (if DET passes them). On the flip side for the playoffs, DAL is a lock leaving only 2 WC slots left in the NFC. Currently NYG and WAS. WAS has a tough schedule and will need to win out to get in. So DET has a good shot to slide in as the WC3, which is wild. However, worlds collide with Bears at Lions in Week 17 as the Bears draft position is as much up for grabs as DET's playoff spot. What would you rather have? 1. Bears beat Lions, knocking them out of playoff contention, but Bears slide to Pick #4. 2. Bears lose to Lions, allowing them to clinch a WC spot, Bears pick #2. After seeing what happened with the Jets and Wilson (Jets won a meaningless game the year before losing draft position), I would go with #2.

I hope he is better at Cougar hunting than he is at QBing because he looks terrible. That game last night was one of the worst performances I have seen from a #2 pick that I can recall. This is also coming after a 300-yd game against DET last week and he also had 355 yards against NE a few weeks ago. His QBR last night was 5.2. Only Kyle Allen and Matt Ryan had worse QBR games with as many passing attempts this season. What is absolutely wild is his completion percentage (among other things). He was 50% last night, 51.4% against DET and only 40.9% against NE. He had a 55.6% last year and some how is worse this year with 54.5%. It is not even like he is throwing a ton of picks, he has 6 TDs and 7 INTs, but he literally cannot sustain a drive. They either go 3 and out, or get one first down, then punt on every drive.

That would be ridiculous, especially considering how bad ATL will be next year, that will more than likely be a top 10 pick as well. Anderson probably won't make it out of the top 5, but to get him and Bresee in on draft would be a win regardless of any of the other picks.
