Forgot baby is Mexican, and traditionally Mexicans do their celebrating on Xmas eve, so she gets the night off. Candy cane home unis and butt fumble calling the game. I’m nauseous before I’m halfway through the first beer.
I had to run to the store, so I showed up late, not sure about the first TD, but the second two were solid. The Cardinals are terrible eh? Merry Xmas to us.
Bears D has been great until this drive. Cards D is ass. Moore is on one ankle. Kyler Murray isn’t good. Brisker has had a couple lazy plays
That entire 2 minute time was just a master class if buffoonery. Only going to half watch the second half, gotta get these presents wrapped, I usually wait until the kids go to bed and then I'm up until fucking 3am wrapping all this stuff.
Top 2 offensive lineman for them, this season. If he wanted to move from TE to OL, he'd beat out most of the fucks on this roster. I don't think he counted on catching a touchdown pass at his age, but I'll take it.
I was curious to see if Kyler Murray could come back from injury and have a great couple games, convincing Arizona they needed a non-QB in the draft this year. So far, not happening. Wouldn't be surprised to see them pick Murray's eventual replacement this year.
My wife and I always do the same thing. We've been chipping away at it over the past few nights, so that we could relax today / tonight. So far, so good. More power to you!
Draft picture still has the Panthers in the #1 spot, and the Bears picking around 9 or 10 (a couple teams have the same record - I have no idea how that order will end up. Bears could pick at most one or two spots higher right now). The Raiders and Giants still have to play, which will weigh into it, but it's unlikely that either wins tomorrow night. The Pats are up right now, and that would keep them from threatening the #1 pick if the Panthers were to win another one before the season is out. I'm expecting the Bears to take their QB at #1. I hope to goodness that a new coaching staff comes along with that, and that the new HC / OC are all-in on the new QB before the draft happens, too. We'll see. The problem is that I don't think they get either of the top two OT's at #7 through #10. I want to say that, if it's still Eberflus and Co., they'll take a DT, but DE is possible as well. At least in year three of Poles' tenure, I'm hoping that they continue to add to the trenches after drafting Wright and trading for Sweat. If it's a new HC / DC, I can't guarantee they'll run a 4-3 base at all, let alone what type of player would fit the scheme the best. So that's to be determined.
I meant to do it the past few nights, but I decided instead to fuck around, so it's my own fault. It is nice to have it done. Plus then I didn't have to get pissed off at what looked like an attempt to mail it in the second half. And, again, half paying attention, but did the Cards really go for two when down 8? LOL, on what planet is that a sane decision? If you want to go for the win, wait until you have the other TD secured. And then going for it one 4th and 6 in their own territory when your offense has been dog water, and there's 3 mins+ left and you have all 3 timeouts, and your defense has completely stifled our offense the entire second half? My buddy started texting me "TANKING" over and over again, and I'm hard pressed to argue with him. That absolutely boggles the mind. Lots of unknowns for next season dline, gotta wait to see what Black Monday delivers, and then the draft and FA. I really can't envisage them "running it back" but these meaningless late season wins might have them thinking "close" again.
Merry Christmas, fuckers. Patriots winning yesterday is huge. Need Philly to win today to help their SOS % so should anybody tie Carolina, the SOS % gives the bears the edge as opposed to a coin flip. And finally, most importantly--all the Panthers have to do is lose 1 of their final 2 to lock up #1. @Jacksonville, which on paper looks good but if Lawrence is out with the throwing shoulder injury he got yesterday, perhaps not. Their final game is home against Tampa, whom we hope is still playing for something--as they only need 1 more win to clinch the NFC South. They sit at 8-7, and the Saints and Falcons are 7-8. Tampa plays NO this weekend at home then are in Carolina. Mix that in with yesterday's Carolina/GB game--Carolina the entire 2nd half looked like they were playing to spoil the bears and the Packers almost let them. Call me greedy, but I hope they fall in love with someone so much should the bears have #1 that they move heaven and earth to get the pick. I don't see them running it back 100%. I think Flus, should he get 1 more win gets a 2 year reset with probably new OC/DC combo. I just don't know if Getsy is toast, are the bears going to stay in house with Janocko (QB coach/another GB guy) or go a different direction, whether that's Bieniemy, someone from McVeigh/Shanahan/even Andy Reid Tree.
I think if we had lost yesterday though the #1 pick would be a done deal. Regardless, a Panthers loss against the Jags would make week 18 a little less stressful when we get trounced by the Peckers. I wasn't able to watch yesterday, seems like it was a game where we ran at will based on the box score but won unimpressively. Not sure this type of win helps us in the long run.
