Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions Game Thread

Just got here, so commenting as I read. I was thinking the same thing, and curious whether film will tell me otherwise or not. Because in a game where he needed to flash, he didn't.

 

How does Fields have so much much yardage and you guys

Carter didn’t show up really. The Bulldogs got lucky that OSUs kicker choked at the end of the game.

 

I missed the first half as I woke up late, but the second half was an absolute embarrassment to the game of football. I get they're all in on the tank but could we at least make it look like we're trying? DDB had a pretty good rant on Effort and how there was none today, he's convinced the coaches are garbage.

I'm not, but this team looks like one that is giving zero shits. That offensive line is unbelievably bad. The run defense complete garbage. Vilma at one point said it looked like the Vikings were playing a scout team, and he wasn't wrong.

Then I watched the first half of the Vikings game looking for the Pack to be eliminated, and LOL man do the Vikings suck. Not this week apparently. Can't even be sad about it because fuck the Vikings but man if their fans want their team to be respected, perhaps the team should show up when it matters? The Eagles lose and they do this stuff, amazing.

 

And the worst part of the Vikings choking today is they are locked into their playoff seed, which means next week is a completely meaningless game for them. Now they can still beat us with their backups easily, but this is setting up for us to fuck up this opportunity to at least lock into the #2 pick. We can do no worse than #4, but that can mean a huge difference in what we're able to get in a trade-down. I'm really hoping (yet another fools hope) that the coaches decide to hold Fields out and go with Peterman.

As for the Peckers making the playoffs, I knew that was inevitable after Tua handed them the game on a silver platter last week, so I put in a future at +210. Hate to say it but easy money. Fuck them. I can't wait to see them get destroyed in the first round of the playoffs.

 

Not quite, can't the 49ers lose and the Vikings win to put them back in 2nd place? They'll play their starters. That said, with the absolute shit show they displayed I'd almost say the Bears have a chance, if they weren't bumblefucking around the field themselves. I didn't know the Seahawks would lose the tiebreaker to the hated, they are only ahead of Detroit on head to head. The Cheesedicks are the only team on a "win and you're in" scenario. Fuck them.

And there is a scenario here were the Peckers go in as the last seed and face the Vikings the first round. Which would basically be a repeat of today.

There is a zero percent chance, given they played Fields as late today as they did, that they will hold him out of an entire game.

 

Yeah you're right. Damn I need to stop believing everything I see on reddit. The 49ers still have to beat the Cardinals, which they will. But yeah Vikes will play their starters.
