Finale Shrug

Bears 21
Vikings 19

Eh, we lost. 11-5 would have looked nicer than 10-6 but whatever.

What is there even to say about such a non-entity of a game? Sean Mannion looked very bad. Mike Boone fumbled, was wholly responsible for an interception, and even got safetied(not his fault), but ended up with a nice stat line thanks to a couple big runs. Dan Bailey made all his kicks. Odenigbo had a TD called back

The Bears played all their guys, yet had their toughest time of their 4 wins over us in the 2 years of the Nagy era. Not sure what that means. Probably nothing.

For much of the afternoon we seemed to be setting up for Vikings-Packers round 3 next week, as the Lions led the Packers the whole day. But then, and I know this is a shocking development, a couple of huge calls by the refs helped the Packers get the game winning field goal. Whatever. We'll see if the refs can carry the worst 13-3 team in NFL history all the way to a super bowl.

So at the moment we will be going to either New Orleans or Seattle. I want the 49ers to win tonight so the Packers don't get home field advantage, but I've seen too much to not assume that Seattle will win tonight.

Not all was bad. Miami inexplicably went into New England and beat the Hatriots,  which means that for the first time in TEN years those assholes will have to play on wild card weekend. Kansas City jumped into the 2 seed.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
