Everyone makes fun of Michigan Harbaugh for how he dresses but pretty sure Raven Harbaugh is wearing a khaki sweatshirt (non-hoodie).

At least you had Tyreek in the South Jersey league.

I'm thankful for an overtime game right now considering we only have 3 late games.

They did. On the other hand I'm surprised the Colts didn't get 15 more yard in the previous drive when their receivers helmet got knocked off. Or in the Patriots game when Douglas got tackled and slapped in the face mask before the half or when Mac Jones got slapped in the helmet a few times and thrown down after a few whistle on a failed sneak..Maybe they're letting them play this year until they don't at the most inopportune time.

Have a feeling that the Cardinals’ OC (I don’t know his name so let’s call him “George” for now) is going to get some looks.

Mac caused what happened after that sneak attempt. Though I was surprised there weren’t offsetting flags at least, to your point.

This may infuriate Bears fans but Fields closest comp at this point appears to be Tim Tebow.

I was going to say I hope I see a headline like "Miami scored 70 points in a game for the first time since 1966. Kansas City scored 70 points in a game for the first time since 4pm today."

Is that Gregg Olson doing color for the Chiefs game? It's 31-0 and he's screaming "get down!" to stop the clock in time so that they can try to extend the lead to...34-0 at the half.

Riveting.

Mahomes had his ankle rolled on in this drive going to the half.

I guess if they weren't so keen on trying to Madden curbstomp a team that's clearly inferior and just take it to the half it wouldn't have happened, huh?

Two kneel downs and the 2Q ends unless the Bears had a timeout to burn.

I saw Fields play 3 or 4 times last season and it was obvious that he was bad. But because he put up 1,000 yards rushing, the offseason hype machine started rolling.

And in defence of Tim Tebow, I wlll say that he managed to win a playoff game. I'd bet a few loonies that Fields won't

And I meant to quote LJam's post about the missed Raven's call. And I haven't even been drinking to Tyalor Swift sightings.

Justin Fields just got punched in the face on that run.

Are Bears fans mad tho? 🤔

I think I’ve heard Aaron Schatz say this, that organizations and GMs might choose to tank, but the players and the coaches never would make that choice.

Yes, players and coaches desire being hired again and rely on their tape to do so, at least in significant part.

Tebow wouldn't have even been in the playoffs if not for the Bears. Marion Barber III committed a brutal fumble in OT when they played, setting up Tebow to make the comeback. I found an article online that mentions Barber also went out of bounds when the Bears were killing clock, saving Denver enough time to force OT on a 59-yard FG (in Denver) with eight seconds left. Barber fumbled with the Bears in field goal range, Broncos moved 33 yards and won on a 51-yard FG.

Without that win, Denver does not win the AFC West at 8-8 on tiebreakers.

And for the nothing it's worth, Fields looked more comfortable today in the first half than in the previous two games.

According to Yahoo’s numbers, over 43% of America had the Jags, Ravens, or Dallas today in Survivor. Bloodbath.

They have their first AND Carolina's first and they could fuck that up if those are the top two picks.

And if they managed to not fuck that up, just think of how badly they would fuck up developing him.
