It felt weird to post this with 13 games yet to play in week 13, but it felt weirder to wait three days with the biggest game of the season to date upcoming. So I posted it. Might as well win this one too.

This Dolphins team is like the antithesis of everything Dan Campbell stands for. Soft like Charmin.

I probably am overreacting to the last two weeks. I didn't watch the 49ers game, but I expected closer than 38-10. This Dolphins team is trash. Mike McDaniel is probably on a hot seat (though he might be okay with that in the Lambeau weather). They beat this Bears team by 1 and should have lost, we beat them by 3 and should have won by more than 10. They beat the Jaguars by 3 (though with Lawrence), we beat the Jags so badly they're still icing their bottoms. The point remains that they'll be playing for their divisional life next week. They can't drop to 9-4 with a 12-1 leader and four games left and expect to host a playoff game.

The Bears have never fired a coach midseason, and I don't see why this would be any different. His staff are lame ducks too, it's not like Thomas Brown or Eric Washington would turn the team into a playoff contender with five games left. I expect him to stick around until Black Monday.

Packers seem to be getting hot while the Lions are getting hurt. I don't have the greatest feeling about next week when they'll effectively be playing for any hope they have of winning the division.

Seriously. You have three options: (a) slide, (b) get out of bounds, (c) get wrecked. You chose (c), you don't get to bitch and moan about it when it hurts.

I've seen Bears message boards say it was a QB draw that was initially called. He's a bigger dummy than I thought if he thinks he doesn't have time for a draw and timeout, but does have time for a throw to the end zone. Both him and Eberflus deserve blame. The Side Judge did his part guys and kept you in it!!

Dude couldn’t even make it to a snap.

The way I see it, you’re not going to win 68/68 quarters in an NFL season. You can only hope win enough of every four to put together some wins and be prepared entering January. They did that today.

The back judge tried to talk him out of it too, but he wanted to give the Bears another shot.

While the clock management will get Eberflus fired in two months, the game was over well before that when Williams threw up a prayer that the Side Judge inexplicably answered.

Six days. Packers on Thursday night.

“Can’t lose on a heartbreaking field goal if we don’t get to attempt a field goal” -Matt Eberflus

The Bears are the new Lions

They’ll use that timeout in the locker room don’t worry

Good thing we didn’t panic

BEARS GONNA BEAR

That was game and somebody said no thanks

Ugh. Getting the unforced errors out of the system apparently.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s over. The Lions will likely win. But the defense is finally showing some give, for the first time in weeks

Goff to LaPorta: Restored

7 here puts it on ice

No unit can withstand infinite injuries. They just kept on ticking until today. We need to get some guys healthy.

He’s 2022 Hutch. A one-man rush is never going to get home. He’s got no help at all
