Griffin needs 25 minutes (as long as he isn't in foul trouble). Starting him is irrelevant and bringing him off the bench actually probably works best for this team since they don't have a ton of shooters. If you start Griffin with Ayo and Frazier it makes it a lot harder to set the rotations such that two of those guys are always on the floor.

He won't fall out of the first round unless his medical reports are a complete disaster.

Lucas really didn't know where they were going in Episodes IV-VI. That is why you have stuff like Leia and Luke kissing and while done well, the retcon of Vader being Luke's father. It is pretty well known that wasn't planned out. I enjoyed the sequel trilogy and was satisfied with the conclusion. It definitely could have been better though and I think Kennedy and the story group at Lucasfilm lack a great vision of where to take Star Wars which is why while I've enjoyed all of the movies so far the spinoffs were both play it safe and the trilogy lacked some cohesion. That is the main difference between Marvel and Lucasfilm post-Disney acquisition. Marvel has great leadership in Feige and Lucasfilm seems to be lacking there. Ultimately I'll always love the main saga but I'm also kind of glad it is over. Star Wars is way to expansive of a universe to keep focusing on one time period and one family. Hopefully now they can move on and create original stories with new characters set in that universe.

I haven't seen it yet but I'm honestly not sure that is possible.

It definitely was the right call. Fox got it wrong, ref got it right

By Mitch standards he wasn't bad yesterday. He isn't good at all but I agree that he was not the main problem with the offense yesterday. I think Nagy has been a complete disaster this year with his play calling. I think Mitch not being good drives a lot of that but it is inexcusable even with Mitch not being good for this offense to be no better than the Dolphins, Jets, etc. but here we are.

USA lost, Scott Brosius was horrible and not sure why the USA went with a 35 year old guy with mediocre at best stuff as their closer.

Rudolph isn't going to take legal action unless we find out he was injured by the hit to the head. Generally speaking people don't bring legal action when there are no damages and you were the one instigating the fight.

I don't get why no one talking on this is paying attention to the fact that while Garrett's hit was definitely late and somewhat dirty, Rudolph escalated things both times and turned the situation into a fight. If he doesn't try to rip off Garrett's helmet first things end there and then after Garrett ripped off his helmet off in response and a couple of Steelers' offensive linemen had already pulled Garrett away Rudolph goes after Garrett again. Rudolph was no angel. Garrett deserves the rest of the year suspension he is getting plus more but Rudolph played a huge role in that incident becoming what it was.

Yep, 3 good drives and the rest they picked up like 2 total first downs. And one of those drives needed a 4th down conversion in their own territory to extend it and the other was a 25 yard drive off a turnover. The offense is brutal. The Lions hadn't allowed less than 370 yards in a game this season before the Bears game. In fact, every QB who had faced the Lions this year threw for more yards than the Bears had total yards on Sunday. That was not an offensive performance that anyone should feel good about.

The Bears record is right where it should be. Were clearly outplayed by the Packers, Raiders, Broncos and Saints and clearly outplayed the Chargers, Vikings and Redskins. They lost one they should have won and won one they should have lost.

Agreed. This looks like a ton of fun. Hopefully they land the ending.

Especially since they were lucky to score on both those drives as Mitch threw multiple balls that easily could have been picked.

To be clear, Johnson and Vaughn are playing in the November Premier 12 event in which the USA can qualify for the Olympics. If the USA qualifies for the Olympics I'm guessing the team next summer will look very different from this one since you will have guys from this team playing in MLB at that time next year, guys knocking on the door who teams don't want to release to go play, guys who have had their play fall off that team USA won't want, etc.

This. Brady was really good from day 1 and in year 3 as you pointed out he led the NFL in TD passes despite honestly having really weak talent around him at that time. When he finally got weapons around him, the Patriots started changing up their offense and the rules changed his numbers exploded. Roethlisberger was pretty fantastic from Day 1. He was top 5 in quarterback rating in his first 2 years in the NFL (granted he wasn't asked to win games but he was very efficient right off of the bat). And Brees was terrific in his 3rd year as a starter (4th year in the league).
