Stupid ****ing penalty.

Agree. Stupid frustration penalty.

I'm so god damn proud. Where are the Buffs? Where is the end zone picture? They got a ****ing stop. Well done guys.

They didn't throw the flag until the Bears bitched about it.

Ref thought the pass might have been dropped and couldn't risk it.

God forbid the pressures turn into a sack one god damn time.

Was that Decker getting just bullied?

BS call. He's extending to reach, that's not an overt trip.

This is not true.

6th game this season with points given up on the opening drive, including 3rd of the last 4.

For a running back playing QB, Fields is really bad at securing the ball.

Feels like teams carve up Glenn every single week with their opening script.

Jonah Jackson replacing Harris as captain today.

Brodric, Buggs, and Levi are all active. The supposed captain Charles Harris is inactive.

Given that everything seems to be pointing to the Bears winning, they'll likely choke and give up by the 3rd quarter because they're very poorly coached. Lions 38 Bears 17

Anzalone not listed and will play. That sure sounded a whole lot worse than missing one game and back to full strength when Campbell announced it.

Thanks for pointing this out. Everything I had read on it had made it seem like it happened this week. Makes it feel like someone in Buffalo would be pretty okay seeing him get canned. You don't sit on this for four years without some type of ulterior agenda at play.

Unless Alabama and Texas played, it was going to be that way for somebody. Kind of the nature of the beast with the northern schools, because most bowl games (and all playoff games) are played in the warm climates. UW couldn't fairly expect to jump Michigan. Yes they had four ranked wins to Michigan's three, but they also insist on playing down to their opponent. Nine straight games now that have been decided by 10 or less. The average margin of victory for Michigan this year has been 27.2 (27.4 in conference play). Washington's average margin of victory has been 14.1 (7.9 in conference play). Michigan played 7-5 Maryland closer than would be comfortable, but otherwise McCarthy barely saw the 4th quarter this season. If you're UW, you should really be able to put away teams like Stanford and Arizona State... Michigan's best win is better than UW's as well, which matters to some extent. If there was a semifinal blowout this year, Texas over Washington would be my first guess.

Like MTB, I am intrigued by this team despite not being a basketball fan.... it's like watching a structure fire. You feel bad.... but you can't look away.... Except there are no firefighters in sight.... I'm not watching games but I am checking ESPN and actively seeking out their scores on this streak. That said, from the outside looking in, I don't think Gores is that bad of an owner. He's just in way over his head. It seems like he genuinely wants the team to succeed and he's willing to spend money to make it happen, but he just doesn't know the first thing about how to be a competent owner of an NBA team. He needs basketball's version of Chris Speilman. I'm sure he'll fire Weaver eventually, but unless he gets help in picking the next GM, they'll fail too (and then he'll be on the way to terrible owner status). Wanting success and willingness to spend money puts him above WCF in my book, who I always felt was rather indifferent about success, and cared more about being liked and surrounding himself with yes-men. It also puts him above 1990s Ilitch with the Tigers for me, who was too busy playing (and winning) with the Red Wings to pay the Tigers any mind or money, in the one sport where the owner's checkbook makes the most difference in success.

Just wait until he doesn't re-sign with the 49ers and becomes a free agent target!
