First to 50 wins I guess.

Holy shit offense woke up.

I swear he calls a ton on the Bears in previous games.

Defense playing zone and just letting McCaffrey run all over them. Embarrassing, you know what they are going to do but can't stop it.

2nd flag they have thrown and picked up, clear holding on SF but they don't call it, such BS.

Finally some offense, nice pass and catch to Burden for 6. Burden needs more targets, no one can cover him on SF.

Welp that was fun while it lasted. Offense 2 3 and outs, defense allows back to back TD drives with zero resistance.

Trent Williams now out, defense needs to take away McCaffrey.

Zero runs on first 3 and out. Come on man.

Don't like playing so much zone. Too easy to have wide open receivers.

With GBs loss, it's all about seeding.

Clinched playoff spot on Christmas, Division on Saturday just like clockwork.

Packers lose to Huntley led Ravens in GB. Bears are NFC North champs. Wild.

Crosby has a very tradeable contract, however, I don't see a way the Bears could free enough space to bring someone like him on, especially with the Dayo boat anchor contract.

Crosby not happy in Vegas, team sucks, organization sucks, now they are trying to mess with his playing time:

What is funny is, can't a team just be good? Can't highly drafted players perform how they were projected, because in a lot of ways, that is all that is happening. The Bears have 19 players that were drafted in the 1st or 2nd rounds on the 53-man, and of the 22 off/def starters, the only ones not drafted in the top 100 are Edwards (UDFA), Dalman and Jarrett.

Love out against BAL, Willis in. Willis vs Huntley. A GB loss guarantees the Division for the Bears. It would be all seeding for the final two weeks.

I think the evolution of it was the most entertaining. First it was you suck, then it was you got lucky, then who have you beat. Yet here we are with a 1.5 Game lead in the division, and currently the only team with double-digit wins when the Bears were the only team who had fewer than 11 wins last year.

SEA plays in CAR this week, then in SF next week. Two tough games with coast-to-coast travel. SEA is favored by 7 over CAR, but are currently 4.5 underdogs against SF in Week 18. The Bears are only 3 pt underdogs.

Bears win last 2, SEA loses 1 of 2, that's it.

The one flaw to QBR is that it takes Comp% into account too much. Nix had 182 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT, with a 4.8 Y/A, basically a bad game, and he had one of his highest QBR Ratings of the season with a 77.3. Week 17 1. Maye - 99.8 QBR - 256 yds, 5 TD, 0 INT, 1 Sack, 22 Rush Yds. 278 Total Yards. Won. Season QBR: 76.5, 4203 yards, 30-8 TD-INT, 47 Sacks, 4 Rush TD. (16g) 2. Nix - 77.3 QBR - 182 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 Sack, 42 Rush Yds, Rush TD. 224 Total Yards. Won. Season QBR: 58.3, 3,790 yards, 25-11 TD-INT, 18 Sacks, 5 Rush TD. (16g) 3. Williams - 71.2 QBR - 330 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT, 0 Sacks, 18 Rush Tds. 348 Total Yards. Lost. Season QBR: 58.1, 3,730 yards, 25-6 TD-INT, 23 Sacks, 3 Rush TD, 1 Rec TD. (16g)

SEA has to lose to CAR and SF has to win their last two for the #1 seed.

and the amount of shit talking from DET, GB, and MIN fans has been over the top this year, and all of them are eating crow.

and for trades, you can't do a post-June 1st trade BEFORE June 1st, that designation only applies to cuts (each team gets 2).

You can release two players prior to June 1st, but the cap relief does not take effect until June 1st. This seems to be more for the player than the team. Essentially, you are releasing a player so they can sign before the draft, and it might have been something added to the CBA, because before this teams had to hold onto players until June 1st knowing they would be releasing them anyway. Then there was very little cap space left for these players and they had to take league min deals is my assumption.
