Dexter was in on that one too.

Montez Sweat is insane. 3rd Sack!

freakin Getsy man, dont get cute going horizontal on a 3rd and 1 when Herbert was getting some positive yards.

Panthers have the ball at the ATL 15 down 7-6 with 2 mins left. They may win another against ATL, which would help the Bears playoff chances, but hurt the #1 pick.

Eddie Jackson gets burnt, thats 3 points on him.

Bucs up 34-20 on the Fudge Packers.

He either whiffs or just touches the guy. He could just run in front of the dude, just get between the defender and the ball carrier, geez, he is scared of contact.

The pat is the issue, it came back and that is the delay. He needs to get rid of it.

Why have Mooney making that block, he is terrible at blocking?

Velus Jones sighting, fresh legs. Keep feeding him the ball like Deebo. FG is better than nothing, but there is way too much pressure on Fields.

20 pts wins this game, the offense needs a sustained scoring drive to burn some clock. Roschon looks like the best RB, give him the rock.

Holy shit this defense, what a play, Edwards with the hit, Edmunds with the pick and TD.

What is your plan?

Mooney and Tonyan not doing Fields any favors. Money got scared of the defender, that ball hit his hands. That drive was decent but there is way too much pressure on Fields on every down.

Refs miss blatant hold on 4th down pass, then Njoku's heel was on the white on the TD pass. Refs impacting the game again.

Damn Edwards and now Johnson with near pick.

Damn this game is crazy with all the penalties. It feels like the Browns D Line is dominating, but the Bears defense overall looks like the best unit.

What's wild is the Bears can keep on trading back one of their firsts for more firsts. Technically, they could do it indefinitely as long as there is a trading partner.

Huge MIN loss for the Bears playoff chances. Now with a win, the Bears would only be one game back from the 6th seed.

Pocic, Browns Center also out for Sunday. They are down 3 starting OLine.

The Bears have a clear advantage over the Browns over the last month of play. These trends are pretty solid and are good predictors when the tier separation is that big:

Since Week 5, the Bears are clumped together in a group of teams between 5th and 10th. 1. SF 2. DAL 3. BAL 4. MIA 5. CIN 6. MIN 7. BUF 8. CHI 9. KC 10. NO The top 14 are normally playoff teams. That 0-4 start really hurt. The Bears have the worst record of that group.

Since Week 5, the Bears defense is as a Top 2 rushing defense and top 12 passing defense. Collectively, that equates to a top 5 defense.

Since Week 4, Fields is comparable to Prescott, Allen, Hurts, Cousins, Tua, Burrow, and Wilson when it comes to Advanced Stats (EPA/Play and CPOE), which are probably the best QB metrics. Purdy is in a league of his own.

This week has a tone of interesting games that can help/hurt the Bears playoff chances and/or draft position. 7 games have a team that can impact both the draft and playoff chances. MIN @ CIN - A CIN win helps the Bears playoff chances (MIN goes to 8 losses) and draft position (lowers SoS). DEN @ DET - A DEN win helps draft position (lowers SoS) and slightly helps playoff chances (If DET loses out). ATL @ CAR - This one is either or. A CAR win helps playoffs (ATL goes to 8 losses), but hurts draft slightly (1 win closer to NE/ARZ). An ATL win solidifies the #1 pick. TB @ GB - A TB win helps the Bears playoff chances (GB foes to 8 losses) and slightly for draft position (SoS). NYJ @ MIA - A NYJ win would help the Bears pick (NYJ goes to 6 wins). NYG @ NO - A NYG win helps both playoff chances (NYG goes to 6 wins) and the Bears pick. HOU @ TEN - A TEN win helps the Bears pick (TEN goes to 6 wins). KC @ NE - A NE solidifies #1 pick and brings NE one win closer to Bears win total (if Bears lose). SF @ ARZ - An ARZ win helps solidify the #1 pick and brings ARZ one win closer to Bears win total (if Bears lose). WAS @ LAR - A WAS win would help both the draft position and playoff chances (LAR goes to 8 losses). PHI @ SEA - A PHI win helps the Bears playoff chances (SEA goes to 8 losses).
