For a crew that called basically everything under the sun (and the most penalties on average per game), I don't know how they missed that.

This was one of the first games all year where he just got abused on crossers by Pearsall. He had been playing like the best corner on the team before this game. It can't help that he was sick and injured leading up to the game.

This was all without Trent Williams too. Our dline got manhandled by an oline without their best player.

The only way the Bears get the Rams is if the Rams lose to the Cardinals or Falcons. I don't see that happening, but you never know. If the Rams win out, they are locked into the 5 seed. If the Bears lose next week and the Eagles win, they will get the loser of the 49ers and Seahawks game.

Yeah they weren't ready on that play. The 49ers rushed 3 and got pressure immediately because the protection wasn't correct. I know they wanted to get the right play for 4th and 5, but wasting that timeout ended up burning them in the end. Oh well, hopefully Burden will be ok for the playoffs. Otherwise, losing this wasn't a huge deal. They played well, it just wasn't enough in the end.

They can still get the 1 seed if Seattle loses one more game and they win out.

I wish they would have capitalized more on those 2 turnovers. They could easily be up 24-7.

Nobody is hiring Dennis Allen as a HC. He already failed twice. That's about as many chances as you get in the NFL. There's definitely a chance Bieniemy, Doyle, and Harris will be poached. Bieniemy may get another shot at OC and Doyle might get a chance to call plays elsewhere. Although I feel in Doyle's case, he may want a few more years of experience with Johnson since he's still under 30.

Apparently Fairbanks wanted to pitch somewhere warm because of his Raynaud's syndrome. He would have struggled in April/May in Chicago if that's the case.

Yeah I'd rather gamble on Murakami for like $10 million more. Pirates were in on him as well.

Yeah, FG is usually 5-10 pts behind in grades compared to MLB pipeline.

If we don't get Fairbanks, Dominguez is still available. Taylor Rogers is also available, but he's pretty washed. The Cubs even left him off their NLDS roster.

I'd rather they waste $4.5 million than trade for guys like Booser with a 19 year old prospect.

1.7 fWAR last year in 92 innings, which is a lot for a reliever. I think he was a multi inning opener for Boston. BABIP was .344 and he still put up good numbers, so this wasn't all just a lucky year. Definitely came up out of nowhere last year, but it's a great signing for $4.5 million.

Honestly if they have to trade draft assets for someone I'd rather trade up for Rueben Bain. If he keeps playing like he did this past weekend he's going top 10. Would you rather trade 2 firsts for a guy with 5 years of control on a rookie contract or 2 firsts for a guy over 30 that's gonna require $30 million a year? I'd rather do the former.
