Short week, multiple injuries, covid, Snyders past and present, their starting safety involved in a fatal car accident.

They were screwed.

Ftfy. ;)

They will remain screwed as long as there are Snyders at the top..
Ha!

Thx.

:( At 8-7 SF's hold on a Wildcard slot is tenuous. Their sole active backup is Trey Lance, a rookie from North Dakota State. However, he's done well this season with his limited appearances, and he was the 3rd overall 2021 draft pick, practically unheard of for a non-BCS team.

3rd overall pick and was given the opportunity and failed to unseat Garppolo?

QBR of 88.4.

He hasn't done that well....

Idk what opportunity he was given, but Jimmy Garoppolo has been pretty solid, QBRat 99.6 this year. Isn't it a good thing to ease a rookie in if a team has a decent QB, especially if the rookie is FCS and hasn't seen NFL or even FBS quality defenses before?

New England Patriots rookie of the year prospect Mac Jones is just at 90.2.
NFL average was 91.87 in 2020.
Lance is just below the #23 (tie 89.5) All-Time NFL Passer Rating Leaders Andrew Luck, Matt Schaub and Matthew Stafford.
88.4 doesn't seem that poor to me.

It's below Jared Goff.

If he qualified, he'd be near the cellar.

Garppolo has the not underserved rep of throwing the inopportune interception.

... I'm not sure how the tiebreakers will shake out, but Miami or New Orleans could supplant the Ravens or Philadelphia tomorrow night. :( :(
Yikes, the Miami win not only moved it into Wildcard #3, the best of four at 8-7, but it somehow dropped the Ravens all the way to Wildcard #6. :angry-banghead:

Sure sure, we know how Windy City grudges can be.

Oakland Raiders at Chicago Bears - November 7th, 1976

Despite crushing the 3rd and Sweetness rushing for 97 yards and 3 TDS, Madden and the Raiders came back in the 4th with a TD to win 28-27. Cliff Branch rocked it with 5 Rec for 163 Yds and 2 TDs.

Are you over it now? :P

John Madden famously said " if you've got more than one quarterback you ain't got any."
Never question Madden wisdom.

Ouch. Congrats, I guess, just 10 months after the Raiders SB win and 14 months to your SB win. However, Madden was 6 years gone, and it was the Fake Raiders in L.A. :P If I watched I may have also been rooting for the Bears.

If you've got a 5-10 record, it doesn't make a difference, but I would like to see Cam go out on a high note, whenever, wherever and however it can happen.
Jeff Dickerson, ESPN Chicago Bears Reporter, Dies at 44

Jeff Dickerson, a reporter who covered the Chicago Bears for ESPN for the last two decades, has died. He was 44.

Dickerson died Tuesday from complications of colon cancer, and according to ESPN, died at the same hospice facility that his wife Caitlin died at two years earlier after suffering from melanoma. He had been placed in the hospice facility last week....

Dickerson was a graduate of Buffalo Grove High School in the Chicago suburbs and started his career as a summer intern for another Chicago sports radio station, The Score, and was then offered a job as a producer at the station after graduating from the University of Illinois.

In 2001, he joined ESPNChicago.com and covered the Bears, as well as Loyola basketball, and he would additionally serve as a broadcaster alongside Jonathan Hood on the radio and contribute to reports on Chicago’s local ABC affiliate. He would eventually cover the Bears full time and on Tuesday won praise from the team as a “consummate professional.”

“JD took a great deal of pride in his coverage of the Bears for 20 years,” the Chicago Bears said in a statement via ESPN. “He was a true professional and even better person. JD always was one of the first media members to arrive in the press box on game day, with a hello and a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. He was one of a kind and will truly be missed.” ...
Ugh, sorry. Did you like him?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Marvin

From Hendersonville and then retired there.
A lot of people around town knew him, really nice guy and after retirement was a scout for the Raiders for 20+ years.

I knew him a little. Saw him play live in the 1984 superbowl. He didn't play in the Bears Raiders game and was glad of it.
