    I could swear there was some ESPN-branded rollerblade game in there. And as much as people talk about bad launch software, I bought fucking Kileak along with the system. Oof.

    Eh, Lions have Bears/Bucs/Vikings/Bears coming up, should be favored for all of them. That week 17 Lions/Packers game continues to look like a Second Seed/Fifth Seed showdown.

    Eh, unless a runner fumbles on one of these plays, Bridgewater will have like one or two chances to make a hail mary.

    Fairly good chance Packers end up the 5 seed in NFC, and go down and lose to New Orleans in the wildcard round.

    Pretty much, unless cast availability is an issue there isn't a need for a mass culling until the end. After last season I am unenthusiastic until proven otherwise.

    Eh, it's not like the teams are getting extra money, they are essentially just taking money from future seasons. If you assume TV contracts will grow (and they certainly have), you could even view it as a smart move if you think you can win now.* Personally, I think it's moronic - if you...

    Why did you ever? His teams have never quit on him and usually have massive holes in their construction. Again, the best case scenario for my team is we miss the playoffs and hire him as DC. Is there an assistant coach you would toss your playoff chances to get?

    I was worried about this game - if the Bears lose their season is over, and would play hard. In reality, a major Rodgers injury is indeed the only wildcard left.

    That jersey sales graphic is such a small and arbitrary window though (May through October), e.g. any earlier and AP takes Minnesota, and longer and Bridgewater takes Minnesota. Thing I can't understand is Jamaal Charles in Hawaii. Did he go off in a Pro Bowl or something?

    What do you mean NFC? You got the Broncos and Patriots, and then there's about an 8-way tie for 3rd place (in AFC, to be clear). I realize you're a Patriots fan (and thus clueless), but a league without clear winners is far more entertaining to watch.

    In regards to QBs, nobody reads the almost always great Bill Barnwell? The Quarterback Contract Question Basically, Bears are stuck with Cutler until 2017 season starts. As I said at the time, as someone in the Bears' division, I am ecstatic the Bears tied up a ton of their money with him.

    Maybe my crew was just surly from watching up to 14 hours of football in a row, but that was a demoralizing end to the night. At least the Saints were nice enough to let the Packers stay in it for half the game.

    It's the power of R-E-L-A-X!... or more accurately, a Packers heavy roster not facing the likes of the healthy Seahawks, Jets, and somehow #1 by DVOA Lions defenses. As soon as the Packers go up against teams with real defenses again, the Marsupials will be back in the basement.

    It can't be categorized as a metric, but of the losing teams (possibly from all seasons), Rex Ryan has to score lowest in "team-quitting-on-coach". They're always trying; they just can't seem to get there. (Having WRs or CBs this year might help, I'd guess.) Edit: Truth time here - I kind of...
