Hey, that was a competent (if accidental) move by the defense.

Is it bad karma I'm humming circus songs while I watch the Bear defense at "work"? Because this post will seem double silly once the Lions win the division.

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.

I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but everything I've heard suggests that the more this movie differs from that script, the worse it gets. True/False?

Have literally none of you heard of the pre-existing entries in the "third-person MOBA-like" genre, like Bethesda's BattleCry? (Though Overwatch might beat them out to shelves. Err, virtual shelves?)

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?

Broncos have already given up on this game.

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.

This is a near brainless action movie. It is one of my two favorite movies of the year.

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.

Honest, question, is there anyone coming up in the college ranks? Because forget superstar, he's likely the clearly best QB in the league for a decade in about two years or so.

This game started too early with drinking the night before. Am I still drunk, or is this game completely off from expected? Edit: Am I still drunk, or is Stafford?

Didn't Whedon say forever ago that the movie starts with the Avengers being stressed out from not having SHIELD to take care of the piddly threats? A timeline along the lines of Intro: Avengers clean up threat_4,251 (probably Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver). Fight is straw that breaks...

Yeah, I was assuming Iron Man would die in this just so Marvel doesn't have to keep writing RDJ preposterously large checks, but they've signed him for Cap 3, apparently so they can adapt the god-awful Civil War. Blech.

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.

Xbox owners are used to buying Bungie products. Playstation, not so much. (Hell, the PS2 version of Oni wasn't even done by Bungie.)

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...

Think he's done for the game. Frankly, given how lost this season is, he should be done for the season. Let Vick get killed. Edit: Or not! Don't trust my online, Tijuana medical degree.

Yeah, is that just a month or the season there.

Also, a thousand sports network graphics guys just groaned at having to add the extra tie column to everything.

Since the Packers get the Panthers next week, I appreciate how much the Bengals are beating Newton up in OT. Dude's going to get the win, but man does he look tired.

Also, is it too early to declare the Brows the best non-playoff team this season?

Multiple injuries to key Packers all but give the division to the Lions? Why does this sound familiar.

We talked about plants months ago. Everything else is a spoiler only if you already knew the spoiler.

The all-division TNF schedule was put in because 1)Teams know teams in their division, and 2) Being regional, should involve less travel than average. They were attempting to make the games better. I still think the NFL fixes everything with the double bye week plan. Get rid of a preseason...

Leap fail.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if between the two of them they do have 5 rushing TDs. I'm assuming - or hoping, anyway - that the Packers come up with 6 TDs.

I mildly care because McKenzie is recently from Green Bay, I think the coach/GM are getting a raw deal, and I'm not sure anyone could have succeeded in the situation they started with. That said, given some of the movies McKenzie has made recently, I'm not sure his firing would be much of a...

They might still back into the playoffs, but is there any reason to care about the Saints or Patriots this season?

I was just going to make you wear some sort of "sad bear", but you're there already. Honestly, wearing a Bears-related avatar for the week is embarrassing enough.

Sure, why the hell not. Someone may as well get some enjoyment out of this Packers' season.

As to Goodell, I dunno about Bill Simmons anymore. Before this recent mess, he was on the warpath on how he's the worst commissioner in sports, citing as evidence how much players hated the ownership during the strike (err, it's the internet era, there is no consensus reality - see all...

Why are the Atl starters still playing?

I believe every team gets scheduled for a MNF airing every year. Not particularly surprising that Chicago (given the size of the demographic area) would get SNF airings, even if the team were mediocre. /bizness

Bears can't even lose like they're supposed to. Also, why the fuck did the Packers pay Peppers and not Allen.

I think this is our year to shake things up... and lose to an NFC South wild card instead.

So who's the QB of the Raiders next year, Big Ben or Eli Manning?

I said the Packers were one OL injury away from not being an elite team. And it took all of half a game to get there.
