Look at the bright side, it is true the coach and the GM must be fired, and if anything the win against the Lions just bought them enough time to finish this season when a defeat there could have been the last straw which made the owners fire them and be ahead of most of the other teams when it came to hiring a new coach and GM, however the Bears have Fields, he is a rookie but I like some of the things I see from him, with the right coach he could really shine, so the job as the Bears coach and GM should be attractive, maybe the Bears could get Eric Bieniemy as a Head Coach and give Fields a chance to shine with someone that knows what they are doing.



nutildah has not updated his roster yet, I hope he is OK and he is just busy and it is not something related to a health issue.

Honestly I don't think bieniemy is as good as people give him credit for.  That kc offense was/is loaded.  I'd rather take a guy with a team that wasn't expected to be good and got everything out of them.  You honestly don't know what Birney could do without mahomes, kelce, hill, etc. 
You have a point, the guy has basically 3 HOF players at his disposal on their prime, so this helps him out immensely and allows him to design plays most teams cannot implement, but at the same time I think the guy has earned the chance to show what he can do as a HC without them, and the Bears or another team with a good rookie QB seems like a good option for him.

Lamar with under a point in the first half gg, how many picks again??? Shocked  Lol and i was complaining about Hurts.

Ugh... I think that's 4 interceptions so far.

Luckily I can afford to lose this match but this is looking even worse than I expected. Congratz to wheelz, sorry I couldn't put up more of a fight Grin

It's a 2fer.  Got the game locked up and the giants whooped the eagles azzzzz.  Listen giants going 9-8 is still in play 😂

But seriously as long as the giants beat the eagles again and the cowboys all good.  They can lose to everyone else.  Shattered eagle fans hope of sliding into playoff contention.  Next week at Miami and the giants can be 5-7...just saying

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it


I was wondering why you'd start Hunt over D. Adams. You've got so many points left on the bench, i feel for you...and Thielen.



Funny I thought I had Thielen in and forgot i pulled him and dropped hunt in as a desperation play when I pulled the GB guys. Figured he had higher upside than Thelein. I was obviously very wrong! Grin



The winless Lions with Goff starting at QB vs. the Red Rifle, lol i can barely hide my excitement for this matchup...at least the Lions used to have Stafford, now it's just Dan Campbell's emotional post-game pressers.  Grin

Taco, Maddogs, and Tamalpais Temptations fighting for the last two playoff spots currently sitting at 6-5, needless to say, whoever loses this week will put themselves in a very tough position, so good luck everyone!

Well since Psychotics are starting D. Mooney, i say Marquise Goodwin (hope the shoulder injury won't bother him) will score one of the two touchdowns that the Bears will have, Monty will likely be the other one to feast today.

Happy !

Where is Nutildah Jones? He is my opponent for this week and it appears that he might have left. He has 2 players on bye week but he has not changed to place active players in their starting slots. This is strange if he left without telling us. I hope that he is not sick. This coronavirus is beginning to mutate and making vaccinated people also sick.




FYI for you guys that don't know.

You can go ahead weeks and pull your guys that are on bye and put other guys in for those weeks.

Just remember to go to the next week and change them back.

Basically you can set your roster for the rest of the season at any time, just hit the Set Lineup arrows above your roster to scroll through the weeks..

I also read Rogers was a last minute scratch so pulled my GB guys and then Bam Rogers started! WTF

Either way fun match I need Kareem to put up like 8 more points than hollywood so doesn't look good. Cheesy

Not sure what to expect in the second half with so many turnovers on both sides, we'd be lucky to get a single touchdown rest of the way. Not a good game!

Me and Hueristic also in a tight battle after our quarterbacks competed in a throwing picks contest earlier today. I'm glad to say that i won that game with three. One week you go for three rushing touchdowns and the next for three interceptions, at least Hurts didn't throw a fourth, he was very close at the end... Cheesy

Yeah, I decided I bad an open roster slot so I'd give covid cam a shot as he owes me and Burrows has been lack luster lately and of course burrows Balls Out and runs his first TD in for the first TD of the day just to shove it in my face!

The two division leaders in a close one, Lamar and Chubb for Moon Coiners vs. Ravens D/ST + Tucker for Interwebz wheelz with 20+ pts lead, this is ought to be a good one. I'm rooting for the Coiners to win so that first place in the East remains up for grabs.

I don't know if it's really as close as ESPN makes it look like. I need to make up 23 points, so assuming ~20 between Tucker and Ravens D/ST, I'd need 40+ from Lamar and Chubb... not impossible but Kareem is back (probably meaning fewer yards for Chubb) and Garrett is in top shape (probably gonna sack Lamar a few more times before this is over). I'm gonna need a lot of luck here, might be none left after last week LOL.

Of course a coach and GM change can’t fix everything over night. But moving on to new ones is what has to happen to eventually being able to move on to the start of something that could be successful. Got to start somewhere. Unfortunately in the Bears car not only does the coach and GM need to go but so does the team President who’s been making all these horrible hirings Ted Phillips. And if we Bears fans had out say, the Owners would go too. They are completely clueless.

Happy Sunday football morning to all! We are already in week 12 which I don’t know about you guys but for me that makes me a bit depressed! At least we get one extra week this year.

So what are you guys liking beg wise today? Not a whole lot I’m loving personally. I do like the Seahawks at +1 and the Ravens at -3.5. Not much else I’m feeling though I might place a few bets on some money lines.

Edit: and I see Michael Carter just went to the IR. SMH. I have never had a year with this many injuries.

This was one of the worst games I've ever had to watch in my lifetime.  I guess technically I didn't have to watch it but being a bears fan and having a 3 hour drive back to my hometown for thanksgiving I thought I'd keep it on in the background.  Maybe this makes me a bad fan, but I was hoping for the bears to lose.  There's nothing we gained by winning that game, and that only prolongs the career of Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace.  My god I can't wait for us to move on past both the Bozo's.  Yet another Coach through the never ending carousel.  


It is a common misconception that you can recover from a horribly mismanaged team by replacing the coaching or general manager and suddenly become a competitive team.

That is patently false, it takes years to recover from poor management.

A perfect example is what Ryan did to the Jets.

I'm not sure the Bear fans wanted or needed that win

The Bears don't own their own 1st round draft pick, they traded it to the giants last year to move up so they could pick up Justin fields.  And even being a giant norther if they are out or not I want to see them win every game.  Hate seeing them lose pathetically every week. Especially this week with the giants playing the eagles at home.  Division games you can't lose.

They probably did not felt the need to adjust their roster yet, if I am not mistaken you can adjust a roster spot until the last 15 minutes before the player gets to play, the only player nutildah had in play yesterday was Swift, which unfortunately got injured, so taking this into account and that it was thanksgiving then it is understandable why they have not adjusted their roster yet, give them time I am sure they will show up.

Three with Butker, but yeah they don't need to set their lineups in advance, i'm sure Kupp and Herbert will be starting come Sunday, it's Thanksgiving after all.

Who had this bad boy in their lineups? Grin I don't mind seeing the Cowboys lose but damn, too many penalties, refs ruined what was a really good game imo.

Prick dropped his first pass, hope thats not a harbringer for the day! Cheesy

Mooney lowkey killed me with those 123 rec yards, that's actually back-to-back games for him with 120+!  I'm not sure the Bear fans wanted or needed that win, but that's another story. lol

Watching Lions or eating turkey and drinking and trolling extended family members with batshit conspiracy theories. Tough choice.

LOL, not really.

Enjoy the games. I'll check back on Sunday. Happy Thanksgiving and avoid Black Friday stampede.
