Pixote Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 38 minutes ago, adam said: I am starting to see national media turn positive for the Bears. Gordon, Brisker, Johnson, Edwards, and Sweat are getting a lot praise nationally. On offense, I keep hearing about Kmet, Moore, Jenkins, Wright, and Braxton Jones. When Foreman was playing, he was getting some attention, and now I see that put on Roshcon, which is nice to see. Fields always got attention, so that is hard to decipher, but hearing about 10-12 Bears plays nationally on a regular basis has me hopeful for a turnaround. Many are even saying the record is not indicative of the talent on the roster and that if they keep trending like they have been, they are going to be a tough out down the stretch. I would like to believe that and see that. I hope everyone enjoyed their bye week and college football. Now we get to sit back and watch the tankathon standings for CAR's pick. In the past I didn't watch that many college games, but I ODed on them this week. Some amazing games. Loved the Washington/Oregon matchup with two top QBs in the draft facing each other. Then Alabama defeating Georgia and knocking them out of the Championship playoffs. Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the defense had managed to play against Denver like it is now and the game in Detroit stayed the way it was for the first three quarters, we’d be having a different discussion right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are going to go to a 12 team playoff next year. Florida State & Georgia should both be in the playoffs. Has to be disappointing to players on those two teams, especially seniors.

adam Posted December 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Sucks for FSU, you go undefeated and win your conference and lose out to Alabama who lost to Texas and barely beat Auburn last weekend. Strength of schedule killed them but record should trump SoS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted December 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Some interesting games for tankathon. ARZ (2 wins) is leading 10-3 in PIT, Trubisky now in. Crazy to think if Mitch plays bad, he can actually help the Bears draft position. The Chargers (4 wins) only have a 6-0 lead on the Patriots (2 wins). The Falcons are leading the Jets (4 wins) 13-8. The Titans (4 wins) have a 17-16 lead against the Colts. Commanders (4 wins) getting destroyed as expected, they will fall to 4-9 and bump the Bears to the 5th pick.

Yep and on cue, Trubisky fumbles and the Cards score a TD, Card 17-3. So unless Trubisky turns into Mason Rudolph, the Cards are going to go to 3 wins.

adam Posted December 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Lions hang on to beat the Saints. After starting 21-0, the Saints outscored the Lions 28-12. The Saints got the ball back down 5 with 5:54 to go, get into Lions territory and Winston couldn't find the magic. LaPorta was 9-140, while all other players had 7-73. Seriously, the Bears need to take this guy out of the game next week. The Lions are 3-1 in their last 4 games. They beat the Chargers 41-38 with a last second FG. They beat the Bears (we know how that one went), they lost to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted December 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Of the 4 win teams that could impact the Bears actual pick: Commanders lost, Jets lost, Titans lost, and the Bucs are playing the Panthers. So it is a double win for the Bucs to beat the Panthers for the Bears. If the Bears win against the Lions next week, they drop to #8 or #9 depending on the outcome of the Bucs/Panthers game.

Winning out is more than likely Wild Card 3, so that would be #19 or #20. Just say they win out and miss the playoffs, they would more than likely be the best non-playoff team at 9-8. That is pick #18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we end up with 8 or 9 wins, that is quite a turn around for a 0-4 start. I know that's dreaming but nobody we play are world beaters.

That leaves GB Week 18 which would basically be a play in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted December 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Philly down big 35-13 with 7 mins left. They pulled Hurts for a concussion, I thought they were pulling him to give up, but I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
