Nature is healing, two mid teams are playing Thursday Night Football.

Seahawks offense: we seem to be gashing the Bears running it with Charbonet.

*3rd and 2 or 3*

Better drop back and pass it out of the shotgun with Geno.

This game is an insult to football. Both teams should be summarily executed after this game. Caleb Williams goes 1st and DK Metcalf 2nd

Imagine having a shiny first overall pick "generational prospect" then watching him get outdueled by Geno fucking Smith on what should be national television.

But he doesn't throw picks! - all the faggots on Bears Twitter and Reddit.

6-3 is the most limp wristed duel I've seen all season.

Lolbears and Lolseahawks.

Unless the game is on the line, lmao.

I watched the game on BuffStreams and I still want my money back.

 

[Drama Fan]

I was extremely worried that was going to go into overtime. At least we got some nice chants going in Soldier Field

0:08

 

[Fat Gay Riker]

So I passed out at the right time, Seattle went up another FG and nobody else scored a point. Embarrassing, but that's Chicago for ya. I'm thankful the season is almost over.
Oh wait, playoffs. And all 3 NFCN teams are in the dance...as long as Green Bay doesn't win, I'll take it.

 

[Zaryiu2]

Seahawks will be .500 to end the season, if you only score 6 points against the Bears then you don't deserve to be above that

If we have a repeat of 2023's super bowl with the Chiefs and Eagles I believe we're going to see a legit drop in general NFL viewership. I'm so sick of seeing these fuckin teams bros

bears- sell the team.mp4

These goobers had to buy tickets to the game to chant this, hopefully on some level they are aware of this.

Besides, I think at this point you just let nature take its course. The team owner is literally 101 years old. Even though she's a figurehead (I assume?) she votes by proxy something like 80% of the team's shares. Once she passes I'm guessing we'll see family shenanigans, lawsuits and a sale to some faceless corporation that will succeed where the team has currently failed in relocating out of the open sewer that is Chicago.

But muh Taylor Swift marriage proposal after the game!

I kid, I kid, the game I want to see is Lions-Bills, Lions win. Two small market teams that have never won a Super Bowl. From a fan perspective I think that's the best game. Problem is that appears to mean the Bills going into KC where they always lose and the Lions are so dinged up they're probably starting at OL the guy who does the Accounts Receivable the rest of the time.

Ravens-Packers (or Vikings) would be good, too.

Al Michaels is going to blow his fucking brains out live on Amazon Prime Video if he has to do another season of Thursday night games (even though there has been a couple good ones recently, this one was truly on of the most miserable slogs.)

Al Michael's increasingly grumpy demeanor casting these games is honestly the most entertaining part of Thursday Night Football.

I think there's been one good Thursday game this year, but off the top of my head I don't remember which one it was. Baltimore Cincinnati, maybe?

Weird how Amazon paid a bazillion dollars to the NFL to to do this, but then turns around and runs the games for free on Twitch in addition to Prime. Meaning no need to get Prime even if you don't want to go the piracy route.

Atlanta-TB that went to OT with Kirk throwing for 500 yards was pretty good
Pittsburgh-Cleveland was that kino looking snow game that was actually good
Green Bay-Detroit was competitive the entire time
Even Denver-Chargers last week was decent
If you take out all the bad games, TNF was better than average this time around

While the eagles are locked into post season our QB is out for Sunday's game. It's a shame not only because he's insanely good but we're playing Dallas and I want to see them be crushed like no other.

Dallas will win and it will convince Jerry that Mike McCarthy is the right guy. And they will have a lower draft pick so Jurrah will trade up and give more draft capital to pick the 3rd best QB in this shitty QB draft

Also some gossip I picked on, my coworkers friend works at the Mayo Clinic where Kirk received care for his injury. She alleged to my coworker that Kirks' primary doctor recommended Kirk let his injury heal naturally instead of opt for the surgery, due to surgery not being that successful in his age group. Despite this Kirk went against the doctors orders and got the surgery to expedite recovery anyway and his doctor was not happy about it. My coworker or his nurse friend could be bullshitting, but this is kind of a bombshell and I'm really curious to see what goes down this coming season.

I know this is old news at this point, and not to give myself ass pats, but I'm still in shock this insider information ended up being true in light of Kirk getting benched.

Also, I'm curious why the Packers are 1.5 favorites over the Vikings at their home this Sunday? No disrespect to the Pack they're a good team this year and divisional games between them and the Vikes are almost always near 50/50, but I feel like gambling odds in toss up games should always favor the home team. On top of that they are missing players like Jaire and others while the Vikings roster is healthier and Ivan Pace is returning, plus we have a better record and beat them in Lambeau. It will be a tough game and maybe potential GOTY but the money line favoring the Pack doesn't make any sense.
